The adventure begins on a plane, flying over the clouds and the Himalayas. As the passengers admired the view, Eric was thinking about somewhere else. His thought of navigating in 1933 in a beautiful paradise have referred to in James Hilton’s book where he called it Shangri-La, a utopian world separate from us and where only lucky souls can go. Some of these wanted to leave it, but Conway, a character with whom Eric relates and envies, didn’t. Eric Weiner lived in India in the 1990s as he was…

In 1950, China forced Tibet to be part of the People’s Republic of China. The People’s Republic of China was created by Mao Zedong, he wanted it to become the “the people’s democratic republic”. This was not as simple as it sounds. China gave no choice to the Tibetans on whether or not they could join. China was not so considerate when doing so. China was very brutal to Tibet. What China has done to Tibet, causes them to be seen as an independent state, which is no good for Tibet. The upcoming…

into both factual and optional depth of true happiness and what kinds of factors play into it. This article, in many ways, combines and goes further into what the first two article that we have read, which were “The Sources of Happiness” by the Dalai Lama and Cutler and “We have No Right to Happiness” by C.S.

This was an ideal place because, everyone enjoyed the park when I was a kid, however no one really comes by anymore because of the increase of technology. With this I decided that I wanted to pick up the trash that laid there because of how much fun I had when I was…

Inner Desires and Achieving Happiness Desires can determine our destiny, as discussed in “Inner Contentment” written by The Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler. Cutler finds himself on his way to converse the Dalai Lama, stopping to admire a vehicle he has wanted for some time. When he engaged in conversation with Dalai Lama they began sharing thoughts about what desires are, and how they can either empower us, or destroy us. This is due to Lama’s belief, “There are two kinds of desire”. They…

I would like to attend Machik Weekend because I want to learn more about how I can help my homeland.

many ways to get different ways of entertainment. As a result, the lure of the colorful world blinds people from the real world. People know the ethical response but they now choose to ignore those problems to get entertained. In the essay by Dalai Lama, “Ethics and the New Genetics”, he realizes the unstoppable development does harm to the ethical response. People’s understanding of morality are not as advanced as the development of the world. In the end, people simply choose to get benefits…

A wise man once said “Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.” That wise mans name is the Dali Lama. Talking about happiness is the Dalai Lama’s speciality, but in his travels he begun to notice that a lot of people are actually suffering on the inside. He believes that there are many factors that can be held accountable for this action. The first factor that can cause someone to suffer that people probably don't think of is money. In my opinion money can not buy…
