Loading Florida Manatees Banner

New Record Set: Boaters claimed the lives of 82 manatees in Florida, accounting for 30 percent of all manatee deaths in Florida. This sets an all-time record for boater-related Manatee deaths. The prior year 66 Manatees were killed by boaters. Boaters and their lobbyists shirk mea culpa and ardently resist urgently needed new regulations. Who is willing to come down on the side of the Manatees? To get involved and help tip the scales in the Manatees' favor, please consider participating in one of these organizations.

  Click HERE For Tibet - Myanmar Crisis Report:
Myanmar - formerly Burma - is ruled by a military junta.The leader of the opposition National League for Democracy, which won the national elections in a landslide, has been placed under house arrest. This misanthrope junta refuses to allow International Aid Workers to distribute aid to the cyclone victims. In Tibet - China insists that the government, NOT the Dalai Lama, shall have total control over Tibetan Buddhist practice and over determining the lineage and the Dalai Lama's successor. The United States has strict economic sanctions against Cuba, but no economic sanctions against China, one of the worst and most persistant and virulent Human Rights violators in the World today. Reminding us that not ALL practicing Buddhists have the freedom to practice. Click HERE to go to the Myanmar - Tibet Crisis Report Section.



Loading Litehouse Pix   Buddhist-Zen-Tao Web Links:   
We do our best to stay on top of the many related Buddhist-Tao-Zen web links that we post, to make sure dead links are redirected or deleted. But websites sometimes are a very transitory affair, like Life itself, and some links vanish OVER-NIGHT. We will maintain that effort. Any suggestions for new, additional weblinks are genuinely invited and encouraged.

BALL. NEW LISTINGS:    Don't miss the new section to this page entitled "Zen Gardens & Japanese Gardens."  This section contains a fairly vast collection of weblinks that contain high-quality photographs of Zen and Japanese Gardens.  In most cases the links lead to a photo array | photography collection.  In a few cases the link leads to a fascinating discussion \ explanation of the Zen Garden, its history and genesis and its inner impact on the viewer.  Included in this photography collection are links to some of the leading Japanese Zen Temple websites.  You will find these Japanese Zen Temple websites to be most exceptional, invariably containing high-resolution pictorial tours of the temple grounds, inside and out.  Don't miss it.    Click HERE to go directly to "Zen Gardens & Japanese Gardens" section.

BALL Scroll NEW DISCOVERIES:    Don't miss the recently located "Urasenke Chanoyu Chada" New York City - Manhattan weblinks. Chanoyu means "The Way of Tea" and references the Tea Ceremony. This Manhattan Center is home to the only authentic Tea House in the United States. Every part of its construction was brought over here from Japan. If you have never observed, experienced a Tea Ceremony you have a profound experience waiting for you at this Urasenke Chanoyu Center.   For some reason, until recently, we were unable to locate the web address of the Manhattan Center, although we could find the web address for the center in Europe. Then recently, we renewed our efforts to locate the Manhattan web address and stumbled upon it by accident, after seeing a link for it at another website.  Be sure to visit this website and make plans to experience (observe) a Tea Ceremony at the Urasenke Chanoyu Chada Center in Manhattan.

    Human Rights Crises in Tibet & Myanmar (formerly Burma) -
    Freedom of Practice Denied


    Myanmar (formerly Burma) is ruled by a military government. The leader of the opposition National League for Democracy, which won the national elections in a landslide, has been placed under house arrest. This sociopathic regime refuses to allow world relief organizations to help the cyclone victims -- even though the death toll is much higher there than the horrific earthquake death toll in the Sichuan province of China. In Tibet, China insists that the government, NOT the Dalai Lama, shall have total control over Tibetan Buddhist practice and over determining the lineage and the Dalai Lama's successor. The United States has strict economic sanctions against Cuba, but no economic sanctions against China, one of the worst and most persistant and virulent Human Rights violators in the World today. Reminding us that not ALL practicing Buddhists have the freedom to practice. As Shakespear once wrote, "What Love can do, that dares Love attempt." Become informed. Become involved. In infinitessimally small ways, great change manifests itself.
