USA Shaolin Temple. Amituofo. Welcome to the Temple.
The USA Shaolin Temple was founded in 1994 by 34th Generation Shaolin Temple Warrior Monk, Shi Yan Ming. The Temple teaches Chan philosophy or Action Meditation, continuing the tradition as founded by Bodhidharma ( Putidamo ) in the year 527. The USA Shaolin Temple is located in New York City and has branches in Austria, Mexico, South Africa, Chile, Trinidad and Tobago and Argentina.
The USA Shaolin Temple teaches Chan Philosophy through the core Shaolin disciplines of martial arts or action meditation: Gongfu (Kung Fu) Taiji Quan (Tai Chi) and Qigong (Chi Kung). Students of all backgrounds, religions, ages, and athletic ability can train at Temple. Students come to the USA Shaolin Temple from all around the world to learn and grow from traditional Shaolin training. "Heart to Heart" and "Mind to Mind" is the essence of Shaolin Chan Philosophy -- and this system of training spans the differences between language and culture as a direct form of growth and understanding. Students find many paths to get to the Temple; while some students seek to build better health and create a feeling of well-being, others may train for self-defense or flexibility, but there is a singular concept behind Shaolin training: martial arts and Chan Philosophy are one and the same.
Shifu Shi Yan Ming, a 34th Generation Shaolin Temple Warrior Monk, has come to the United States, specifically New York City, as a way to give Shaolin Philosophy to the world. Shifu's message, as he frequently states, is quite simple: "Life is beautiful" and "Be honest with yourself and train harder."
Shifu's dream of expanding the USA Shaolin Temple to allow for more students, as well as international students, is currently taking shape. The USA Shaolin Temple has launched a capital campaign to raise the funds needed to build a new Temple in upstate New York while maintaining a presence in Manhattan.

The temples are hollowed out of granite cliffs on the inner side of a 20-meter ravine in the Wagurna River valley, 105 km northeast of Aurangabad,in India. About 30 caves were excavated between the 1st century BCE and the 7th century CE.The fresco-type paintings that are the chief interest of Ajanta.

Theravada / Kisah Nangalakula Thera
« on: 20 February 2009, 10:56:13 AM »Kisah Nangalakula Thera
Nangala adalah seorang buruh tani yang bekerja pada seorang petani. Suatu hari seorang bhikkhu melihatnya sedang bekerja di sawah dengan pakaian tuanya yang koyak-koyak. Sang bhikkhu bertanya kepadanya apakah ia berminat menjadi seorang bhikkhu. Ketika ia menyetujui sang bhikkhu membawanya ke vihara, dan mentahbiskannya menjadi bhikkhu. Setelah diterima dalam Pasamuan Bhikkhu seperti yang telah dinasehatkan oleh gurunya, ia meninggalkan bajak dan pakaian tuanya pada sebuah pohon tidak jauh dari vihara. Karena orang miskin itu meninggalkan bajaknya untuk memasuki pasamuan, maka ia dikenal dengan nama Nangala Thera (nangala artinya bajak).
Kehidupan di vihara lebih baik maka Nangala Thera menjadi lebih sehat, dan berat badannya bertambah. Setelah beberapa saat ia merasa bosan dengan kehidupannya sebagai bhikkhu dan sering memikirkan untuk kembali menjadi perumahtangga.
Jika pikiran itu muncul, ia akan pergi ke pohon dekat vihara, di mana bajak dan pakaian tuanya ditaruh. Di sana ia menegur dirinya sendiri, "O, orang tak tahu malu! Apakah kamu masih menginginkan kembali menggunakan pakaian tua ini dan bekerja keras, hidup rendah sebagai buruh kasar ?" Setelah berpikir seperti itu, ketidakpuasan terhadap kehidupan bhikkhunya menjadi sirna, dan ia kembali ke vihara. Ia pergi ke pohon itu setiap tiga atau empat hari untuk merenungkan kembali tentang masa lalunya yang tidak menyenangkan.
Jika para bhikkhu bertanya kepadanya tentang seringnya ia berkunjung ke pohon itu, ia menjawab, "Saya pergi ke tempat guru saya."
Waktu berlalu, karena ketekunannya, akhirnya ia mencapai tingkat kesucian arahat, dan ia berhenti ke pohon lagi. Para bhikkhu lain memperhatikan hal itu, bertanya kepadanya, "Mengapa engkau sekarang tidak lagi berkunjung kepada gurumu?" Kepada mereka ia menjawab, "Saya pergi kepada guru saya karena saya memerlukannya, tetapi sekarang saya tidak memerlukan pergi kepadanya." Para bhikkhu mengerti apa maksud jawabannya itu, mereka pergi menghadap Sang Buddha dan memberitahu, "Bhante, Nangala Thera menyatakan diri telah mencapai tingkat kesucian arahat. Itu barangkali tidak benar; ia membual, ia berkata bohong."
Kepada mereka, Sang Buddha berkata, "Para bhikkhu jangan berkata seperti itu perihal Nangala, ia tidak berkata bohong. Anak-Ku Nangala, dengan introspeksi diri dan memperbaiki diri sendiri telah berhasil mencapai tingkat kesucian arahat."
Kemudian Sang Buddha membabarkan syair 379 dan 380 berikut :
Engkaulah yang harus mengingatkan
dan memeriksa dirimu sendiri.
O bhikkhu, bila engkau dapat menjaga
dirimu sendiri dan selalu sadar,
maka engkau akan hidup dalam kebahagiaan.
Sesungguhnya diri sendiri menjadi tuan bagi diri sendiri.
Diri sendiri adalah pelindung bagi diri sendiri.
Oleh karena itu kendalikan dirimu sendiri,
seperti pedagang kuda menguasai kuda yang baik.

benda langit jatuh di texas amerika
Februari 17th, 2009
DALLAS – The fireball that streaked across the sky and alarmed numerous Texas residents was likely just a big meteor and not wreckage from colliding satellites, experts said Monday.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Roland Herwig said the fireball seen across a wide stretch of the state Sunday morning probably was a natural phenomenon and not debris from last week’s collision between an Iridium communications satellite and a Russian military space vehicle.
And Preston Starr, observatory manager at the University of North Texas, said it probably was a meteor about the size of a pickup truck with the consistency of a chunk of concrete.
The Williamson County sheriff’s office in central Texas said it received so many emergency calls about the light in the sky that it sent deputies out in a helicopter to look for a plane crash.
The FAA had said during the weekend that the fireball possibly was caused by falling debris from the satellites. It also posted a weekend warning telling pilots to watch out for satellite debris but rescinded the warning Sunday, Herwig said.
Starr said the object’s trajectory was wrong for it to have been satellite debris. And he said such objects would be too small and moving too slowly to produce a flare so widely visible during the day.
“It would have looked like a blip, and nobody would be able to notice if it were a daytime entry,” Starr said.
Starr said objects as large as his estimate for the one spotted Sunday enter the atmosphere about eight or 10 times a year. It was probably moving between 15,000 and 40,000 mph, he said.
Despite its initial large size, if any of the object survived the fiery descent through the atmosphere, it would be smaller than a fist, he said.

Ilmu Pengetahuan dan Teknologi / Top Ten Most Amazing Pictures Taken By Hubble Space Telescope

Top Ten Most Amazing Pictures Taken By Hubble Space Telescope
Hubble Telescope's top ten greatest space photographs.
Awesome!!!
The Ant Nebula, a cloud of dust and gas whose technical name is Mz3, resembles an ant when observed using ground-based telescopes...
The nebula lies within our galaxy between 3,000 and 6,000 light years from Earth.
The Sombrero Galaxy - 28 million light years from Earth - was voted best picture taken by the Hubble telescope. The dimensions of the galaxy, officially called M104, are as spectacular as its appearance. It has 800 billion suns and is 50,000 light years across.
In third place is Nebula NGC 2392, called 'Eskimo' because it looks like a face surrounded by a furry hood. The hood is, in fact, a ring of comet-shaped objects flying away from a dying star. Eskimo is 5,000 light years from Earth.
At four is the Cat's Eye Nebula.
The Hourglass Nebula, 8,000 light years away, has a 'pinched-in- the-middle' look because the winds that shape it are weaker at the centre.
In sixth place is the Cone Nebula. The part pictured here is 2.5 light years in length (the equivalent of 23 million return trips to the Moon).
The Perfect Storm, a small region in the Swan Nebula, 5,500 light years away, described as 'a bubbly ocean of hydrogen and small amounts of oxygen, sulphur and other elements'.
Starry Night, so named because it reminded astronomers of the Van Gogh painting. It is a halo of light around a star in the Milky Way.
The glowering eyes from 114 million light years away are the swirling cores of two merging galaxies called NGC 2207 and IC 2163 in the distant Canis Major constellation.
The Trifid Nebula. A 'stellar nursery', 9,000 light years from here, it is where new stars are being born
