I had the opportunity to visit Deer Park Buddhist Center back home in Wisconsin. Deer Park is a hotspot for Buddhism across the Midwest, and it serves as a haven of learning and growth for Buddhist monks from all over the world. Before venturing into Deer Park, I had very little knowledge on what it meant to be a Buddhist. I labelled their beliefs as foreign to me, simply because I have never taken it upon myself to learn more about what the Buddhist community actually is. After experiencing a…

could be distributed amongst entire populations, like potatoes in Ireland, making this a very important determinant. However this was not always the case. Pineapples personify this. They had no comparison, so were disregarded. Furthermore animals like Lamas failed in Europe. Nevertheless there are as many cases of success in goods from the Americas as failures, chilli peppers being another example. Hereby it is appropriate to label Columbus’ discovery huge in this significant determinant.…

In my middle school years, I went through the awkward pubescent phase that all preteens do, yet with a little extra flair: I was kind of ‘emo’. I listened to hard core rock songs about death and betrayal, and wrote so many short stories with the main character being brutally murdered via either a bus, gun, or goblin that I look back upon these notepads and just laugh. Perhaps this was some kind of inspiration from the angsty fanfiction I was obsessed with reading, but I became fascinated with…

“Charles Darwin said that sympathy is the strongest instinct in human nature.” (I Am) This supports the theory that human nature is cooperative rather than competitive; especially since most people believe that Darwin was a firm believer in a competitive lifestyle. Sympathy is a word that affects most people but only some have an exceptional response to situations where sympathy comes into play. For example, in The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Eddie had sympathy for the little girl in the…

Gun control is a highly engaged debated topic and always has been. Many people feel banning guns and creating gun free zones is the answer to stopping mass shooting and people being killed daily. Except they’re wrong. According to Freedom Outpost, 92 percent of mass shooting have occurred in gun free zones. Why? The answer is simple, bad guys know good people do not have guns to protect themselves. One argument that reoccurs is not the gun that kills, but the people who kill with a gun. "The…

the “Lost Valley” of Tibet where it is considered a prized companion and luck bringer to those fortunate enough to possess them. The breed has been raised in Buddhist monasteries for over 2000 years and is considered the “Holy Dog of Tibet”. The lamas kept the dogs as watchdogs, companions and good luck charms. The dogs also did some herding and retrieved objects that fell down the mountain. The Tibetan terrier is not really a terrier but was call one due to its size. Dr. A.R.H. Greig of…
