I don't remember if I have posted this before. A few years ago, I wrote a chapter in an encyclopedia on current trends in African American religion. One of the trends was the growing number of AA's who are practitioners of Eastern religions. One of my contacts was Lama Choyin Rangdrol.He recently contacted me saying that he had updated his page. I know that some folks here are interested in Buddhism and might find his thought interesting.
This is not an endorsement of anything, just a FYI. Here is a video from his site.


Truth is undoubtedly the sort of error that cannot be refuted because it was hardened into an unalterable form in the long baking process of history... Michel Foucault

Hope begets many children illegitimately and prematurely. Allie M. Frazier

Beware the terrible simplifiers... Jacob Burckhardt

"I'm sick of the war and the civilization that created it. Let's look to our dreams, and the magical; to the creations of the so-called primitive peoples for new inspirations."
- Jaques Vache and Andre Breton

"Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone."
-John Maynard

"You know that in our country there were even matriarchal societies where women were the most important element. On the Bijagos islands they had queens. They were not queens because they were the daughters of kings. They had queens succeeding queens. The religious leaders were women too..."
-- Amilcar Cabral, Return to the Source, 1973

When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak
