Xi’an is a well-known historic city in China. The history gives this city the everlasting charms. Terracotta and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda witness the prosperous history of Xi’an, which also show the wisdom of ancient Chinese people. The snacks with local flavor make people love the city very much. Let’s go to Xi’an, and touch the trail of history today in our live class.

Formal Names of 70 Successive Generations of Shaolin Temple MonksTranslation by Kong Shiu Loon嵩山少林寺曹洞正宗傳續七十字輩訣江紹倫譯Blessed wisdom inrpesis self-awareness福慧智子覺Fulfillment follows ready insight了本圓可悟Talents and saints generally bear our names周洪普廣宗Virtue was broadly cherished by our ancestors道慶同玄祖Tranquility and truthfulness sustain life as the sea清靜真如海Solitude endured inculcates pure personal quality湛寂淳貞素Righteous deeds evoke eternal succession德行永延恆Agility keeps bodies in sound and strong stakes妙體常堅固Clear minds enlighten deep understanding心朗照幽深Shining characters ensure signal accomplishments性明鑒崇祚Loyalty and justice exalt true happiness忠正善禧祥Singular wills are sources of lasting charity謹志原濟度Snow Pavilion exemplifies the guiding light雪庭為導師Leading all on the path to nirvana引汝歸鉉路Note: Every Chinese has an identity marked by two sources (doors), his family and his teacher (or school). 家門與師門. For example, I am a Kong and a Wahyanite, someone else may be a Chen and a Princetonian. Monks sever their relations with their families when they 出家. They are also theoretically equal with their mentors. So, their names are derived from a succession of names marking their temple origin. The 70 successive formal names of Shaolin was established by the head monk of the Yuen Dynasty, Snow Pavilion 雪庭. Each of the 70 Chinese words forms a part of a name for a monk, and all other monks of his generation. Altogether, the 70 words are grouped in verses of 5 words each, bearing meanings representing the wishes of the originator.

Unfortunately I think many monks/masters/managers in the Buddhist communities [I'm a Tibetan Buddhist<a href="http://xwhczvnj.com"> mlysef</a>] are not really up security issues and the monetary and other types of damage which can be caused these days. It's rare to find a monk who is up on technology at all because that's not really their thing.One day I want to build a Buddhist and Senior center<a href="http://xwhczvnj.com"> mlysef</a> and in general I think it would be great if technology professionals [I've been in the business for over 22 years] put together some sort of association to help these religious organizations, I would be happy to do this! And just because their large and well known does not mean their technology is advanced at all.

Very interesting. My<a href="http://fuzzrjarl.com"> pobelrm</a> is I have to rush, because I'm usually running late!Pardon my ignorance, but you mentioned (and the vid showed) the monk reciting a prayer when alms are received. To whom is the prayer directed?

I drink cheap beer and don't expect it to go up much in price. Or will learn to make my own booze if I have to. Or silmpy do without if I have to. It's the price of coffee and co-co that concerns me. But hey, we're all on the same boat together.And it looks like we will all sink together. Wait, I have a life raft, ha ha ha. http://lfupgoz.com [url=http://taqzmcdvrsy.com]taqzmcdvrsy[/url] [link=http://uhdmyc.com]uhdmyc[/link]

Yes, we are going! Sometime the second week of February, Paul and I are relocating to NYC! That means, within four weeks, I have to pack, get long distance movers, find a place in Manhattan, etc etc. And, of course, lots of other stuff to attend to right now. Richard, the picture is a friggin’ riot and very apt. WTF, Paul, indeed!!!! btw, here was Paul’s plan re the new job and the possible relocation: “I will say I need to think about it 24 hours and talk it over with my wife.” Here is what actually happened: [PHONE RINGS IN CHICAGO. IT IS PAUL FROM NY, CALLING JANIS WHILE SHE IS ON THE PHONE TO SUE B.] “We’re officially New Yorkers!!!!!” http://www.yourinsurlist.com/

Thank you, Unk Dicko. This experimental project for "Interactive Blog Workshop" is really fun and interactive.This blog activity is not a one-way "Same Place. Different Times. Different Journey" project. Everyone young and old with some ways of our attachment to a place now or once upon a time our homeland will remember them. Never mind if they are located elsewhere at this moment. These are memories to cherish.The photos posted are "then" and "now". However, nobody can travel the journey on behalf of the path of one ownself...one's own memories and one's enriched experiences...one's own journey!The pics of past years were compiled with the courtesy of contributors donated to National Archives of Singapore and shared on PICAS for our benefits. Not for commercial purposes though.View an enlarged image of this photo CNYST08 . It could be a dated photo someone captured by your elder sister and contributed it long ago to PICAS. Tourists have also taken lots of these pics in the public places where they visit in Singapore.It would be great to mention this section of your "journey" to the "Interactive Blog Workshop Group" on Facebook where more members are added for us to share the "virtual workshop" the knowledge and history for us to learn the development of Singapore over 50 years. Its an educational way to learn with fun. Cheers! http://www.careyourauto.com/ http://www.newyorkonlineinsurance.com/ http://www.yourinsurlist.com/

Sue-Check with my Aunt Dolores to see if she wants to rent her downstairs apartment…she is usually out at Beth’s, so she might want someone at the house to watch over things, or she might not want to bother. You could also contact Beth directly and ask her if she and her mom might want to rent it. Close by and cheap!!!On a completely different topic…checked out all the local watering holes on Roscoe this past Friday night and they are all wheelchair accessible and can handle large groups, so a pub crawl on Roscoe is very doable (meaning we can crawl back to the apartment)!!!Also, unrelated…I haven’t been on the site in a while but wanted to give everyone an update on Dan’s status. He is over the halfway mark in his radiation treatments…started week 5 this AM. He’s doing very well…even with a bad cold. He gets up at 4 AM to do his daily constitutionals and has to drink 24 ozs. of water before heading to Glenview for his treatment at 6 AM. Next, it is off to work in Hoffman Estates…he has worked from home a few days but for the most part is in the office 5 days a week. The drive alone would do me in, but he is remarkably positive. He should be done in mid November and then his hip surgery is scheduled for December 3rd! After all the insurance cost for the prostate cancer, the hip is free!!! He probably can’t join us the weekend of December 14th, but you never know…beers are involved so he will probably hobble over!!! Thanks for all the prayer and positive thoughts…you guys are the best!!!! http://www.travelrewardscards.net/

Hi, Thank you so much for your comment on my blog Navigating Cyberloss. I very much appreciate your taking the time to leave a response. Your post really resonates with me, although my experiences of loss have been different: ‘I keep writing in my private journal with pen and paper and it’s like I’m writing for our son, about him and even to him. The need to remember this time is strong and that’s my way of coping with the sadness, grief and loss right now.’ Writing is an absolute must in grief, I think. I don’t think it’s possible to assimilate events later, outside of the fog, without some kind of visual or written record. My best to you in your time of sorrow, Casey http://www.yourinsurlist.com/ http://www.careyourauto.com/ http://www.carinsuranceinillinois.net/

I even put the correct Brown Eyed Girl by Morrison on… finally got around to buying his CD in my weekly purchases.. Didn’t speak with any of the guys… only really communicate with Mike and Jim (but the later only when he has too many light beers and can’t find his way out of the restroom)..Albums! We demand 45s…okay.. a bottle of sloe gin for you and a Jaegermeister for Sue… I’ll get some water for Janis.. she can’t tell the difference between that and light beer anyway.. oh.. for Bonnie I’ll get some good old Texas moonshine… not up to West Virginie standards but it will have to do… http://www.insurerscomparison.com/

We have a 1999 Landcruiser and still love it. Although when we bought it we didn't realize we were getting into a 30 year relationship with a car. Our neighbor down the street still drives her 1982 LC everyday, and the most popular car at the local high school is a 1984. The kid's dad offered to buy him a new car if he'd go to Georgia Southern (on HOPE) instead of Alabama and he declined because he didn't want a new car. DOTR is so hard on vehicles so this is perfect for him. I always tell him that there's a reason you see them driving Landcruisers in caravans in Iraq. New brakes and tires and you're good for another 100,000 miles. http://www.travelrewardscards.net/

Hi Evan, thanks for your comment on my blog!You can find recs for a billion Thai, Japanese, Mexican, and other "traditional" restaurants, but here are some of my favorite distinctly NYC things:In terms of food shopping, I think Fairway is the way to go - yummy produce, fresh food, and good prices. Of course, it's always packed, but that's the price you pay.You have to try Lombardi's pizza. In my opinion, it's the best pizza on earth. Some say it hasn't been as good in recent years, but it's definitely worth a try. It's in Little Italy.This might sound weird, but there is an excellent Ethiopian restaurant on Macdougal. I am blanking on the name right now, but it's down a set of stairs on the West side of the street close to West 4th.Chicken and rice is an NYC institution. It's the "new hot dog." It's some kind of Indian/Middle Eastern fusion of marinated chicken served over rice with a white sauce (maybe yogurt, maybe sour cream, maybe mayo, nobody really knows) poured over. Served out of street carts all over the city, but my personal favorite is on the NW corner of 39th street right outside Chase bank. The cart doesn't have a name, but the guys are there every weekday until at least 2 PM.Finally, Shake Shack in Madison Square Park is a little gimmicky, but I feel like it's a badge of honor to wait on that line for an hour just to get a burger and a shake. They have an UWS location, but for some reason, I still prefer the long line. Maybe I'm just crazy.Good luck on the move! http://www.travelrewardscards.net/ http://www.eben-uk.org/

Pretty sure it was specifically German monks that did it, with a pretty dark rich beer. There’s a guy in Iowa that was attempting it this year. I hadn’t heard the latest but I know he made it at least 30 days with few problems except losing quite a bit of weight. Fundamentally it’s just a fast, which is what lent was traditionally though it got somewhat watered down over the years. I’m sure if you chose the right kind of bread you could live on just bread and water. It would have to be something whole grain that had sufficient nutrients. The wine would probably help, decent antioxidants, and some other vitamins present in it that wouldn’t be bread. The cheese is probably unnecessary but would I’m sure help the flavor. Key would be a justification though, which I’m pretty sure there isn’t except maybe the meditative part of fasting. http://www.travelrewardscards.net/ http://www.lowaprcard.net/

, “If one is speaking and another receives a revelation, the first should be silent.”When was the last time you were listening to a sermon, and something was revealed to you, and you stood up to interrupt, and the one preaching graciously yielded the floor to you?What happens in our churches if someone tries to do that? (And I have seen situations where this has happened.) The one who interrupts is silenced, either by the preacher yelling over top of them, and/or by someone forcefully removing them from the meeting place.This is in direct contradiction to what Paul said. And the defense that is sometimes given in those situations? “Everything must be done decently, and in order.”That is why, when you brought that up, and said that Paul was correcting the Corinthians for being “too spontaneous” by using “decently and in order”, I said that we need to take the rest of the chapter seriously, too.You’ve already clarified a little bit in your response to Alan, but I wanted to show you why your comment struck both me and Alan the same way.Do we allow someone to interrupt a speaker when they are speaking? If not, why not?Do we allow even two or three to speak during a gathering? If not, why not?Do we actually allow for correction of what is taught to take place in the gathering? If not, why not?I don’t see how we can disregard those instructions by saying that they were designed to moderate chaos in Corinth. It remains my assertion that is the most descriptive passage about our gatherings in the entire New Testament. Why would we only be given this one descriptive passage, if it doesn’t apply to us? http://www.travelrewardscards.net/

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose. http://www.comparecashbackcards.net/
