A Buddhist Life in America: Simplicity in the Complex The Wit Lectures at Harvard Divinity School are an exploration of living a spiritual life in the contemporary world, a subject of great importance today as we see the suffering of so many beings in the face of human greed, hatred and confusion. This book by Joan Halifax tells us about a life that touches both suffering and joy. It is the story of a Western woman's journey to compassion. It is also a book that explores engaged spirituality, a way of practicing compassionate action in the world. The Buddha was a human being made of non-human elements. Like a rose that is made of earth, water , air, sunlight, human care, and compost from the garbage, the Buddha was made of his mother and father, his ancestors, his culture; he was also made of suffering as well as joy.This is true of each of our lives. Each of us contains the freedom of the Buddha. Each of us contains seeds of suffering as well. The Buddha's heart was once broken. Out of his suffering came a true person. Suffering is important. Without suffering, you cannot grow. You cannot realize peace. An organic gardener needs garbage to transform into compost for her roses. We may need suffering to transform into insight, insight into non duality, insight that leads to compassion.

Joan Halifax and Her Robe of Many Tears by Stephen Foehr As she sews a kesa for her ordination in the new Peacemaker Order, Joan Halifax reflects on her life of science, stories and spiritual search, and her work now with the great teacher, death. Joan Halifax leaned forward and asked her friend for a piece of personal clothing, "for something I’m making." The woman, a survivor of breast cancer, nodded in agreement. Time after time Halifax repeated the request to men and women with severe illnesses, to elders, to the relatives of deceased people. She was given the old flannel nightgown of a woman who died of Alzheimer’s disease; a handkerchief from her 88-year-old father; a silk scarf of a man who died of prostate cancer; a dress from a woman with AIDS. She received a wedding dress, a wool Chinese coat, a beautiful old silk nightgown, pajama bottoms, a quilt, a piece of red fabric used to carry the ashes of Tenzing Norgay to Mount Kailash, and a silk scarf with ships printed on it. She used these mementos of life and death to make her kesa (KAY-sa) a Buddhist robe, for her ordination into the Japanese Buddhist Soto lineage and into Roshi Glassman’s new Zen Peacemaker Order. The traditional kesa is made from shrouds of deceased individuals as a reminder of impermanence and compassion.

What kinds of status symbols and objects would distinguish a local hero? The epic poem "Sundiata" is part of a musical performance performed by griots playing a kora. Find kora music from West Africa and play it for your class. After students have identified the various components of these sculptures, have them look at equestrian sculptures located in their community. (Washington, D.C. has many commemorative equestrian sculptures of war heroes placed throughout the city.) How are riders depicted on their horses? How is the horse depicted? Have students research the origins of the horse. How and when did the horse arrive in Africa?

Although each empire rose to assert its power, they coexisted independently for centuries. At its peak (1200-1300), the Mali Empire covered an area that encompasses significant portions of the present-day country of Mali, southern and western Mauritania and Senegal. Note that the old kingdoms of Mali and Ghana are not the present-day countries of Mali and Ghana. Predominately a savannah, this vast region has two seasonsa rainy season and a dry season, the latter being the longer of the two. The Mande-speaking peoples living in present-day Mali (Bamana, Senufo and Dogon peoples) have inhabited this area since the days of the Mali Empire. Today, Mande-speaking peoples live in almost all parts of West Africa, having migrated in search of trade or having been displaced by war or climatic conditions. Their migrations are indicative of the mobility of African peoples in many parts of Africa.

Interfaith Religion and Beliefs for an Internet Generation PORCH NUS The E-Zine of The Front Porch Religions of the World African Religions and Their Derivatives African and African-Derivative Religions are a large group of beliefs and practices based upon ancient indigenous faiths of sub-Saharan African peoples. Within the last 100 years in Africa (see Table of Statistics ) indigenous religion has declined under the influence of colonialism, Western acculturation and proselytizing by Islam and Christianity. In the African Diaspora (mainly in the Americas) African-derived belief systems are in a state of impressive growth. ithin just the last two years the amount of information made available through the Internet is also impressive. Some of the best information comes to us from Italy, Sweden and Brazil. We are no longer dependent upon reports from academia or encyclopedias. There are now numerous websites maintained by the faithful themselves and, while the quality and quantity of information varies enormously among them, one may now hear from practitioners their own statements of faith. In many, if not most, cases African spirituality has evolved in the Americas. Ancient practices brought westward by slaves became syncretized, more or less, with religious traditions of the slaves' masters. This syncretization is most noticeable in areas dominated by the Catholic faith and where the celebration of saints, votive offerings and other practices found parallels in ancient traditions.

It measures about 8,000 km from north to south and about 7,360 km from east to west. The highest point on the continent is Mt. Kilimanjaro - Uhuru Point - (5,963 m/19,340 ft) in Tanzania. The lowest is Lake 'Asal (153 m/502 ft below sea level) in Djibouti. The Forests cover about one-fifth of the total land area of the continent. The Woodlands, bush lands, grasslands and thickets occupy about two-fifth. And the Deserts and their extended margins have the remaining two-fifths of African land. World's longest river : The River Nile drains north-eastern Africa, and, at 6,650 km (4,132 mi), is the longest river in the world.

56. Indigenous And Minority Peoples' Views Of Language (Terralingua) Among peoples as different as the dogon of Nigeria and the Navajo of the southernUnited States indigenous and Minority peoples' Views About Language http://cougar.ucdavis.edu/nas/terralin/ip&lgs.html

The importance of language in human life and in determining the place of humans in the world is stressed in most past and present cultures on earth. In many religious traditions the spoken word is creative power. Ritual, as performed through language, is seen as a way of doing (and making) things right. For the Ancient Greeks, the logos was word, speech, discourse, and the principle that governs the order, and the orderly development, of the universe. Among peoples as different as the Dogon of Nigeria and the Navajo of the southern United States, elaborate theories of language exist that see language as the means through which the world is created, organized, classified, and beautified. Many religious traditions suggest that a diversity of languages (and cultures) is a good thing. In the Qur'an, the variety of linguistic expression among groups and individuals is seen as one sign of Allah's creative omnipotence, along with the creation of heaven and earth. As another example, according to the Acoma Pueblo Indians of New Mexico, the mother goddess Iatiku causes people to speak different languages so that it will not be as easy for them to quarrel. And it is even possible to suggest a different perspective on a widespread interpretation of the idea of Babel as a "curse". It is perhaps more accurate to see the divine intervention that brings about a multiplicity of languages as a way of curbing the arrogance and single-mindedness of monolingual empire buildersan arrogance that seems to be again on the rise.

Museums Archive Number 28 June Solstice 1998 ESSAY NEWS NOTES African Astronomy by Jarita Holbrook, History Dept. UCLA Stellar Navigation: Stellar navigation is a method of using the stars to determine directions when traveling at night. During my field work in Tunisia, North Africa, I discovered that the fishermen of the Kerkennah Islands still used stellar navigation to reach their fisheries at night (Holbrook 1998). Since then I've unveiled several sites of stellar navigation all over Africa. A second site which I am researching is the Afar people in Eritrea (Holbrook 1998). During the struggle for independence which ended in 1993, the Afar where consulted to navigate troops at night. Other potential stellar navigation sites are in Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria, and Madagascar. Most but not all of the sites as associated with ocean travel. Summary: My preliminary findings on African Astronomy reveals a continent rich in astronomical traditions. I have presented four of these traditions as separate from each other, but in fact they overlap in interesting and unexpected ways. Such as stars being named for their use in navigation or being named for the season which begins with their appearance. In addition to the four topics mentioned here there are several more focusing on the moon, the sun, the major planets, and the relationship between the stars and man. I continue to search the literature for mention of African astronomical traditions as well as taking trips to Africa to interview people about their astronomy.

S by Amy Lenzo What's Different Here? Mandala Aboriginal Dreamtime Ground Art Bark Paintings Aboriginals view everything as an interconnected field of subtle energy emanations. As I mentioned earlier, in Aboriginal cosmology all time exists at once. Everything contains within its form the memory of its creation, its history and future, as well as its present, and the designs used to represent them reflect this perception in various ways. These images are not abstract designs, but simplified versions of what is actually seen and/or felt to be there. An image might indicate the food sources in an area, along with the paths that have led to them in the past, and might even show events that have occurred on these hunts. For example, you might see an image depicting various food sources and the trails leading to them, where concentric circles indicate watering holes, or the witchety grub (which is a popular food source); the 'U' shapes signify an action, with the shape next to it indicating the type of action, like straight lines might indicate the digging sticks necessary to find the food source. In 1988 a small group of Aboriginal artists colaborated on an Aboriginal Memorial, constructed as a response to the Australian bicentennial, which commemorated 200 years of European settlement. In a memorial to Aboriginal people, past, present and future, they carved 200 hollow log coffins- one for each year of European colonisation- to honour the thousands of Aboriginals who had been killed in that period. The exhibit is now on permanent display in Canberra.
