buddhism
1 FaverShareViewed: 5 TimesQuoted: he act itself occurred at the intersection[b] of Phan Dinh Phung Boulevard and Le Van Duyet Street.[18] Thích Quảng Đức emerged from the car along with two other monks. One placed a cushion on the road while the second opened the trunk and took out a five-gallon gasoline can. As the marchers formed a circle around him, Thích Quảng Đức calmly seated himself in the traditional Buddhist meditative lotus position on the cushion. His colleague emptied the contents of the gasoline container over Thích Quảng Đức's head. Thích Quảng Đức rotated a string of wooden prayer beads and recited the words "Nam Mô A Di Đà Phật" ("homage to Amitabha Buddha") before striking a match and dropping it on himself. Flames consumed his robes and flesh, and black oily smoke emanated from his burning body.[18][20]

It does not operate like a computer. Instead, meaning, belief and consciousness seem to emerge mysteriously from idiosyncratic networks of neural firings. Those squishy things called emotions play a gigantic role in all forms of thinking. Love is vital to brain development... The cognitive revolution is not going to undermine faith in God — it’s going to challenge faith in the Bible.

Our response to the Mona Sarika incident...
1 FaverViewed: 5 TimesQuoted: On December 3, we found out that we'd been published in the Wall Street Journal. Well, sort of. Many of our words made it into an online column -- but our names were nowhere to be found.
