" I cannot descrbe what I felt at that moment," he wrote. ******************************* "The true Brahmin is one who is rid of passion, hatred & pride; who is restrained in body, speech & mind; profund in intellect & wise; 'mellow as the moon, pure, serene & unperturbed" Gautama Buddha

Venture into Adam's Peak Sri Pada, Sri Lanka with Sri Lanka Holidays. In this romantic pinnacle (7360 ft) the land rises up grandly i one last gesture of challenge to the ses-but it is the last. If you look south from Adam's Peak, you are facing the ocean that has no limit-at least no limit short of the ice walls of the polar seas. According to the Buddhist tradition, the Master ( Buddha) alighted here on his farewell visit to Ceylon, & planted the impression of his foot upon the rock. Not only that,but all the four previous Buddhas in remote & mystic ages, came to this sacred spot, & left some mark of their paasing. And from generation to generation, Adam's Peak has lured men up its cruel slopes: & in our own age pilgrims of all creeds & nationalities crowed thither in thousands. They are, however, chiefly Buddhists.

LORD JUPITER. By Jupiter, we will go from strength to strength with Sri Lanka Holidays. Astrologically Jupiter is associated with the principles of growth, expansion, prosperity and good fortune; and a person's inner sense of justice and morality and their ideals and higher goals. Jupiter governs long distance and foreign travel, higher education, religion and the law. It is also associated with the urge for freedom and exploration, humanitarian and protecting roles, and with gambling and merrymaking or 'joviality'. The first-century poet Manilius described Jupiter as temperate and benign, and the greater benefic. It was regarded as warm and moist in nature, and therefore favourable to life.

Sri Lanka Holidays pay respect to ancient science. SRI YANTRA. By Jupiter, we will go from strength to strength***************************** Yantras come from the more than 2000 years old tantric tradition. A yantra is the yogic equivalent of the Buddhist mandala. Sri yantra is called the mother of all yantras because all other yantras derive from it. The Sri Yantra is a configuration of nine interlacing triangles centred around the bindu (the central point of the yantra), drawn by the super imposition of five downward pointing triangles, representing Shakti ; the female principle and four upright triangles, representing Shiva ; the male principle. Man's spiritual journey from the stage of material existence to ultimate enlightenment is mapped on the Sri Yantra.

BRAWN & BRAIN:The Last Samurai: The Life and Battles of Saigo Takamori by Mark Ravina
On September 24, 1877, Saigõ Takamori, one of Japan's most loyal and honored samurai, died in the bloodiest conflict Japan had seen in over two hundred years, a battle led by Saigõ and his band of loyal students. Now, more than 125 years after his death, Saigõ still remains a legendary yet enigmatic figure in Japan. Why would Japan's greatest warrior, whose sole purpose was to serve his country, set in motion a civil war and lead a group of rebel soldiers to overthrow the government that he had personally helped to restore? The Last Samurai sets forth to demystify Saigõ's life, his machinations, and the dramatic historical events that shaped the life and death of Japan's favorite samurai.Exiled for misconduct, Saigõ was pardoned in 1864 and called back to the mainland to train a group of Satsuma warriors. Their mission was to seize control of the imperial palace and restore the imperial house to its former glory. Saigõ's coup was successful, and in 1867 he led the drive to destroy the shogunate and to create a powerful new state. But with Saigõ's victory came a crushing defeat: in his drive to modernize Japan, the Meiji emperor, whom Saigõ had helped bring to power, abolished all samurai privileges, including their ancient right to carry swords.Now an acting member of a modernizing Meiji government, Saigõ was given command of the new Imperial Guard, Japan's first national army in nearly a millennium. Saigõ supported many of the government's Western-style reforms, but he was torn by the sense that he was betraying his most stalwart supporters. Deeply ambivalent about the government he hadhelped create, Saigõ sought to end his career with a final dramatic gesture: he sought to go as imperial envoy to Korea, where he would insist that the Korean king recognize the Meiji emperor. When his plan was denounced as reckless, Saigõ resigned from government, returned to his native Satsuma, and opened a military academy for former samurai warriors. His group of disgruntled students resented the rapid modernization of Japan even more than did Saigõ. They set forth to slow the hand of change with their swords, making Saigõ the reluctant leader of their uprising. Old Japan and New Japan met in battle-blades against artillery-and old Japan lost. Saigõ died in battle from a bullet wound, but legend still has it that he died by his own sword, upholding samurai honor to the end.In life, Saigõ had represented all that was commendable in the samurai estate. In death, Saigõ's legend grew even greater. The Last Samurai deftly traces the rise, fall, and rise again of Saigõ's life, his legend, and his dedication to all he believed in: tradition, honor, and glory. This compelling book provides a fascinating glimpse into the final days of Japanese feudal society, the blood-swept path of Saigõ's career, and his lasting impact on the nation to which he gave his life.
BEAUTY & BRAIN ;buy beauty & get brain free
Hedy Lamarr is known primarily for being a film star and throughout her career she certainly wasn’t one to hide from the spot light. She rose to fame in the 1933 film Ecstasy, thanks largely, but not entirely, to the extensive nude scenes. Many people thought Hedy was the most beautiful woman in Hollywood at the time and over the years a total of six husbands thought exactly the same. Often outspoken, Hedy once stated, "Any girl can be glamorous, all she has to do is stand still and look stupid." Despite all the glitz and glamour, under that beautiful exterior was an incredible mind, both brilliant and inventive. She was a quick learner, seemingly soaking up information from whom ever she was with. Her first husband, Fritz Mandal, worked on control systems in military aircraft. Hedy obviously picked up a few useful tips before their split in 1937 because three years later she went on to co-invent the torpedo guidance system some twenty years before its time. In one of the most astonishing transformations of modern time, Hedy went from being a silver screen temptress to an engineering goddess. Far from just being an iconic sex symbol, she could also explain the functioning of a frequency-hopping spread spectrum – and that’s no mean feat. In 1941, together with co-inventor George Antheil, she submitted her secret radio-guided torpedo system which allowed a torpedo to switch (or hop) between 88 different frequencies, making it virtually impossible for the enemy to track and detect the underwater onslaught. The system was so advanced the US Navy said it was unworkable and poured scorn on the explanation that certain parts of it worked like the fundamental mechanism of a player piano. Technology did eventually catch up and in 1962 her system was finally put in place by the Navy. Hedy didn’t make any money from her patent and she wasn’t even allowed to join the National Inventors Council. Maybe they just couldn’t cope with such brains and beauty all in the same body.
Even Samson was betrayed. Oh! these women!

Cannabis Origins & Cultural History
- greens good over hear kiss the mary jane and fall in love with the global community
- marijuana has the effect of slightly increasing alpha-wave activity. Alpha waves are generally associated with meditative and relaxed states which are, in turn, often associated with human creativity.
- A far superior experiment by the National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR) involving 64 rhesus monkeys that were exposed to daily or weekly doses of marijuana smoke for a year found no evidence of structural or neurochemical changes in the brains of rhesus monkeys. Studies performed on actual human populations will confirm these results, even for chronic marijuana users (up to 18 joints per day) after many years of use. In fact, following the publication of two 1977 JAMA studies, the American Medical Association (AMA) officially announced its support for the decriminalization of marijuana.

Sri Lanka Holidays unravel history for your enlightenment. The first king of Lanka, King Vijaya, who arrived in the Resplendent Island, the Land of Delights in the year of final extinction of Gauthama Buddha (543 BC), by karma, wasn’t blessed to have a son. Since the next best one, if there is such a one, no doubt is the nephew. Prince Panduvasdev (Pandu Vasudeva), son of the brother of King Vijaya, King Sumithra of Vanga Kingdom (modern Bengal) of northern India was brought into the island & was crowned the king of Lanka an year following the demise of King Vijaya. Meanwhile in India, King Pandu of Vanga kingdom was threatened with war by no less than seven princes of seven neighboring kingdoms. The cause of the impending war, as in the Iliad & Ramayana & many other epics was non other than a woman: the king’s lissome daughter of matchless beauty. Her hand in marriage was valued, by the princes, over & above the war & death of hundreds of thousands of men. Well! Hell or nuclear bomb, you have to get your women, a man has to do what he has to do. Her marriage to one would cause numerous bloody battles since no prince worth his salt, with an army & kingdom in his possession, could leave a goddess-like princess to any other man. Her father King Pandu was no other than son of King Amithodana, the brother of King Suddhodana, whose son Prince Siddhartha transcended the human condition to become supremely enlightened Buddha. It was beneath the virtues of kings of Shakya clan to get involved in wars. The court astrologers came to the fore by making a timely prediction. Set the princess adrift in the ocean, she would safely reach an island, whose king would make her his queen. The princess together with 32 noble maids was set adrift in the great River Ganges. The river carried them to the ocean & by good fortune, the vessel caught favorable land-bound wind & ended up in the coast of Thammana of the kingdom of Lanka.King Panduvasdev of the Resplendent Island, the Land of Delights, already being alerted by his own astrologers on a miraculous event to unfold had made his post at the coast. The princess & her entourage of 32 noble maids were taken to the kingdom in ceremony. As if the kingdom of the Land of Delights wouldn’t do, now the king had the untold fortune of taking a seaborne delight of a lissome princess of matchless beauty to his embrace: a Venus. The state of affairs couldn’t get any better. His ministers wouldn’t take a backseat either: they made swift moves to the 32 maids. All comes to the one who wait & make the right move in ripe time.{Click image to read the whole story}

1 & 2 Buddhist Compassion overrides the Buddhist code of ethics of Theravada Cannon 3. Exposition
- WHAT IS THERAVADA BUDDHISM
- 2 MY TURN NOW.... bunpeiris ....... Most possibly in 1970's once during a tragedy of Palestninan hijack of a commercial passenger air craft, the terrorists demanded one of the passengers voluntarily get off the aircraft so that he could be shot down on the tarmac. Until the conditions of the terrorists were to met, passengeres would be killed one at a time. A German national in a blue shirt voluntarily got off the plane & stood on the tarmac. He was shot dead by the terrorists. Your life is as valued as mine. Why shouldn't I sacrfice my life for you? That's how my father B. Donald B. Peiris explained to me. Is that what the unsung hero thought? That's Buddhist compassion by a Christian Caucasian. I am still searching for his name in books & web. I would love to have his name in bold letters in my blog.
- 1.The Buddha describes the enlightened person as having ‘a mind with the barriers broken down’ (cetasa vimariyada katena). What an extraordinary phrase! When a person has seen and seen through the conceptually created barriers of race, class, ‘mine’ and ‘not mine’ they are able to love others unconditionally.The Visuddhimagga tells a story to illustrate how, according to Theravada, the term 'a mind with the barriers broken down' should be understood. A monk was sitting with three others - a friend, a stranger and someone who did not like him – whent hey were assailed by a band of thugs who wanted to take one of the four as a sacrifice to their god.The first monk was required to select the victim but because he had ‘a mind with the barriers brokendown" he was literally incapable of making any distinctions between himself and the others and thus just sat there unable to make a decision. Apart from being absurdly simplistic this contradicts the Buddha’s statement that a loving person would be even capable of giving his or her life for another (D.III,187). The terms papanca and papanca sanna sankha are of enormous importance in understanding meditation and psychology as taught by the Buddha. In his brilliant andgroundbreaking book Concept and Reality, Bhikkhu Nanananda has shown that Theravada has seriously misunderstood the true significance of these terms. Interestingly he had also shown that Mahayana preserved much of their original meaning and consequently their deeper philosophical impilcations...................................That is VEN. DHAMMIKA

Giacomo Casanova Oh! Casa!
“ Discite grammatici cur mascula nomina cunnes. Et cur femineum mentula nomen habet “ (Teach us, grammarians, why cunnus (vagina) is masculine. And Mentula (penis) feminine) Eleven-year-old Giacomo Casanova (1725-1798), after a moment’s reflection, writes out the following pentameter: “Dice quod a domino nomina servus habet” (Because the slave always takes the name of his master.) Each sex is the slave of the other sex; each sex depends on the other for pleasure. Oh! Casa!
- 1753-1756 Casanova returns to Venice by way of Prague and Vienna, arriving at the end of May. Affair with C.C. (Caterina Capretta). Casanova asks Bragadin to ask her father, a prosperous merchant, for her hand in marriage. C.C.'s father puts her into a convent. There she meets M.M., a nun who is having an affair with the Abbé de Bernis, the French ambassador to Venice. This soon becomes a ménage à quatre, which continues until the ambassador's return to France. Meanwhile, Casanova is under surveillance by the State Inquisitors, ostensibly because of his "occult" knowledge and activities--but more probably because his contacts with both foreign ambassadors and members of the Venetian government were seen as a potential danger to the state. Casanova is arrested during the night of July 25-26, 1755, and imprisoned in the "Leads": the cells under the lead roof of the Ducal Palace. He escapes on the night of October 31-November 1, 1756 and flees Venice, eventually making his way to Paris. Far from making him a social outcast, Casanova's "great escape" and his highly polished description of it make him a sought-after guest in good society
