A lengthy but absolutely fabulous interview with Shinzen Young, a great Zen Buddhist teacher. He says some very important things about the nature of (no)self and enlightenment, in the Buddhist but also other religious traditions.

the gospel of hate. i'd like to think this is funny (i was listening to the video and a friend asked me if i was listening to the comedy channel) but unfortunately, we need to take people like that at least somewhat seriously.
god help him and send him love.

I never tire of seeing interesting photographs on the internet. There's a certain directness that I see in Ken's images that really attracts me.

Ismaili spirituality - From the page: "One of the mediums by which the Imam communicates esoteric knowledge to both the Jamat and the world at large is Islamic architecture. As Mawlana Hazar Imam remarked in his speech at the Inaugural Ceremony of the Delegation:
â€oeThis new Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat, like the Ismaili Centre and the Aga Khan Museum to be built in Toronto, reflects our conviction that buildings can do more than simply house people and programmes. They can also reflect our deepest values, as great architecture captures esoteric thought in physical form.”"

A psychological experiment with mind-boggling results. How thoughts of death influence one's need to bolster one's world view and hence one's ego. This corroborates an important concept in Buddhist philosophy.

The saint of slaves, Peter Claver: "As new slaves arrived, Claver ran out to meet them, carrying food and clothes to the living and removing the bodies of those who had died. He cared for the weakest first and took the sick to a nearby hospital he had built. Using natives as interpreters, he then began sharing the Gospel with all who would hear. Having won their good will, he instructed and baptized them into the Faith. Claver dedicated his life to the service of these people, humbly caring for the lepers and those suffering from smallpox, cleaning their sores and consoling them when others were disgusted by their diseases. He and the slaves he ministered to would prepare great banquets to celebrate holy days, inviting and ministering to the lepers, slaves, and beggars.
The apostle was accused of indiscreet zeal, and of having profaned the Sacraments by giving them to "creatures" deemed to scarcely possess a soul, even though Pope Paul III had proclaimed in his encyclical Sublimis Deus that non-European peoples had souls and were eligible to receive the sacraments of the Catholic Church. Indeed, many found the sense of dignity Claver gave the slaves a dangerous thing."
