She is the only woman who possessed such strong inner peace, yet willing to be a slave to the outer reality despite pleas for her to leave, and fight with all she has to restore democracy and conscience for her country. It's already beyond charisma, and fear.

One day the Buddha was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young man came up and began insulting him. "You have no right teaching others," he shouted. "You are as stupid as everyone else. You are nothing but a fake!"
The Buddh...a was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man, "Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take it, to whom does the gift belong?"
The young man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered, "It would belong to me, because I bought the gift."
The Buddha smiled and said, "That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself."

every area in Burma is heavily paved with landmines...how valuable freedom is for those who are so fortunately born with it...

In Buddhism, donations are not limited to monetary donations. Donations can be kind speech, kind gestures, kind deeds, kind thoughts etc. Too poor to donate, then donate as per Buddha's advise, it is equivalent to donating money.

good and apt post at a time when charity donations are under stringent reviews and pending for procedural and legality restructuring...
tomorrow is the benchmark hearing of Sg most famous case of the alleged misuse of charity monies...

The hour of the waning of love has beset us,
And weary and worn are our sad souls now;
Let us part, ere the season of passion forget us,
With a kiss and a tear on thy drooping brow.- William Butler Yeats

I did yoga long time ago but due to lack of practice, I've forgotten all about it, especially the breathing which is very important in yoga. Instead, I meditate.

Rain, torrents hurt the wounds
Earth, moves through mindless motions
Buddha, blesses the bleeding pain
Enlightens the dispossessed hearts of rain

Verses 209 from ~The Dhammapada 法�經~
69. So long as an evil deed has not ripened, the fool thinks it as sweet as honey. But when the evil deed ripens, the fool comes to grief.

Nothing has changed.
The body is painful,
because the soul is:
a stranger to itself, evasive,
at one moment sure, the next unsure of its existence,
while the body is and is and is
and has no place to go.- Wislawa Szymborska, Nobel Prize (1996)
