India Bars Same-Sex Couples From Using Surrogates
Officials from India's government announced that gay couples and single individuals from other countries who wish to start a family are prohibited from using the country's popular surrogate program, New Delhi Television Limited reports.
India's surrogacy program is a growing industry. Over the past few years, foreign couples, both gay and straight, have taken advantage of the country's low-cost and legally simple way to access a surrogate. The new measure, however, not only bars same-sex couples from using the surrogates but also leaves gay couples who already started the process in limbo.
The new rules state that only straight couples who have been married for more than two years can use India's surrogacy program. Notified by the change from a message on the Indian Home Ministry's website, fertility clinics and LGBT rights activists termed the move "discriminatory".
"It's totally unfair - not only for gay people but for people who are not married who may have been living together for years and for singles," Mumbai gay rights advocate Nitin Karani said.
"Parenting is everybody's right and now we're withdrawing that right," Dr. Rita Bakshi, who is the head of the International Fertility Centre in New Delhi, said. "These rules are definitely not welcome, definitely restrictive and very discriminatory."
"This is a huge heartbreak for homosexual couples and singles," fertility doctor Anoop Gupta added.
Same-sex relations in India were criminalized until 2009 and the country does not have anti-discrimination laws that protect members of the LGBT community. Additionally, same-sex marriage is not recognized.
The article also noted that the new rules state the couples looking to use the surrogate program now must apply for a medical visa instead of a tourist visa. The Home Ministry refused to comment on the controversial rule change. It should be noted the measure has yet been approved by Parliament.
The growing use of surrogate mothers in India by Westerners has come in for criticism as exploitation. A 2010 article in Slate was one of several that have examined the practice as an outgrowth of the boom in outsourcing. The article maintained that Indian women were not fully informed about the consequences of surrogacy and that these it was economic circumstances that forced women into surrogacy.
Since 2002, when India legalized surrogacy, the practice has, in the words of a 2011 New York Times article, become "a key part of the country's lucrative medical tourism market." The cost is only about $14,000, compared to $70,000 in the U.S. The Times cited a 2008 study that estimated surrogacy was bringing $450 million a year into the Indian economy.
One Indian doctor complained that Indian surrogates were treated "like an object, used her as a factory." The article also noted, however, that desperately poor women can make much more than they would could hope to earn at a job.
"Risks?" asked a Delhi woman quoted in the Times article. "What risks? Any fool can have a baby, it takes a smart woman to get paid for it." The article also pointed out side benefits to the Indian economy. Couples awaiting a child often spend several months there.
Commenters on surrogacy blogsite Eggdonor.com claimed that the U.S. Embassy was working with the government to clarify the rules and that the Home Ministry was, in fact, blindsided by the rule, which, some sources say, was the work of a "rogue bureaucrat in Delhi and the Indian clinics are all united in working with the Government of India to try to get this offending notification abrogated."
Commenters also pointed out that the medical industry, which generally supports surrogacy, is actively seeking to nullify the edict. One outlet, Indian Economy, reported that the rules have "ignited a storm of criticism."
One thing all sides can agree on is that surrogacy, a relatively recent medical procedure, is an example (one among many) where science has overtaken law. A blogger for the Times of India suggested that the Home Ministry slow down and have public hearings before a final ruling.

If you want an idea of how to help and support the next generation of advisors, look no further than the medical profession. Sure, it's more about modern portfolio theory than appendicitis, but few would ever argue that medical students should hit the phones and begin cold calling immediately upon graduating. While medical residents are learning to save lives and comfort the afflicted, how is ensuring a client's financial solvency well into retirement any less important?
It's a question Craig Pfeiffer has asked and answered. The CEO of Advisors Ahead, a firm dedicated to the successful development of financial advisors and that counts such industry notables as Texas Tech associate professor Deena Katz among the staff, looked specifically to the type of training young doctors receive right out of medical school when he founded the company—internships, residency programs and all.
Pfeiffer is a former wirehouse guy, but recognizes that the problem of career support (or lack thereof), which results in high washout rates, doesn't discriminate by distribution channel. He spent 29 years with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney and "predecessor firms." He left Morgan Stanley in October 2011, where he was vice chairman and a member of the executive committee, to devote himself to career development and support full-time.
"I started off as a retail stock broker and went through every evolution from 1980 until now," Pfeiffer said. "Throughout that time I was an advisor, a branch manager, a regional director and had a hand in all those other various roles, in addition to playing the role of a corporate executive and, ultimately, vice chairman."
Over that time, the human capital, training and professional development departments all reported to him, which resulted in what he calls "a late career mission;" one that is threefold. The first is advocacy; the second is training and support for the next generation; and the third is the practical application of that training.
"That's the charge," he added. "At its core, it is rooted in a pretty big gap around a need for more financial advisors and new financial advisors."
The traditional entry point for financial advisors, he explained, has been people experiencing a career change starting at age 30 to 40. They're typically looking for a high degree of autonomy, ideally building a book of business as a sole practitioner.
"It's a sink-or-swim strategy, and most people have sunk, not swum," he observed. "At the same time, there's a university population that is not as attracted to the investment banking track or sales and training track. But now there's an emergence around an interest in becoming a financial advisor, motivated mainly by the perpetuation of the CFP designation, as well as some others."
A university population looking for jobs and an industry that needs the people—might there be a fit, he rhetorically asked?
"But they're not set up to onboard them in the traditional model, so we need a new model."
That model is the aforementioned medical profession, and it stacks up pretty well with what the financial advice industry is looking to achieve.
"You take medical students, and you don't let them become doctors right away," Pfeiffer said. "They spend time as a resident. Law students don't become lawyers right away; they spend time as associates. Even teachers don't become teachers right away; they spend time as student teachers. But there's not been a natural bridge for advisors, so that's what we're trying to build. We're creating the curriculum and infrastructure with firms to onboard college graduates as future financial advisors in a residency model."
More specifically, it's a combination of distance learning and practical in-field experience with three dimensions (see sidebar, "How It Works"). The first dimension is called "The Advisors Ahead Preparatory Program," which is a distance-learning model for college sophomores, juniors and seniors who have declared an interest in becoming a financial planner or advisor.
"I would contend there is a mezzanine layer after that formal CFP education that would make them better ready to go to work if they were provided help with listening skills and communication skills, as well as an introduction to emotional intelligence and behavioral finance," he argued. "It would provide a heightened sense of self-awareness."
The second dimension is an "in-branch" summer internship program between the junior and senior years. The curriculum is 10 weeks long and involves actually working in an advisor's office. The third piece, he concluded, is a residency period upon graduation, anywhere from six months to two years depending on the various firms.
"It would be the next dimension of a serious internship where you would start to take on specific roles and specific responsibilities and start to experience the accountability of the workplace," he said. "Those are the three pieces: the student piece, the summer internship piece and residency program upon graduation."
Surprisingly, Pfeiffer said Advisors Ahead does not have any formal strategic alliances with organizations like the Financial Planning Association or any of the universities, something he added is "appropriately so."
"The university community is most interested in students being taught. They're very guarded against commercial interests. The firms will welcome it because frankly the firms have not had a model, if you will, for this type of support."
When asked about the types of firms he meant—wirehouses, large independent broker-dealers, RIAs, sole practitioners—Pfeiffer answered, "All of the above."
The short answer is that the program meets the needs of the whole spectrum; it's compatible and has gained the attention and interest of any firm with one or more financial advisors, whether it's the one-man operation who has a succession issue and wants to materialize the values of practice or a firm with 15,000 advisors.
So, after all the hand-wringing and teeth-gnashing about the next generation of advisors and from where they will come, career tracks and early career development, has Pfeiffer really found the answer?
"I think it's part of the answer," he diplomatically dodged. "I would not suggest it's the only answer, but it certainly is part of the answer. If you step back and think about the need for financial advisors, it's a really good story. CNN and Money Magazine and various research organizations are all coming up with the best 10 jobs for the next 10 years. It's a story of procedures; it's the same story for doctors and nurses. Financial advisors now have joined the list on a consistent basis and are often in the upper half."
The existing advisor population is aging and if the industry was a college basketball team, he explained metaphorically, it has plenty of juniors and seniors, but few freshman and sophomores, "because we haven't recruited entry-level talent for the last five years."
"By definition, you need talent to transition for that industry-wide succession. A second point in this intergenerational transfer story is the need to connect with the next generation. Guys like me connect with people our own age or older, but we don't connect with their beneficiaries. If we want to maintain the continuity of our books of business, we're going to need younger people to deal with our younger clients."
As for the clients themselves, they're facing more complicated financial scenarios. Additionally, most financial advisors do business with people between the ages of 50 and 70.
"It's always been the nature of the business; people in their early life don't have money," he concluded. "They get married, have additional children and responsibilities, and build a home and fund their education. When they get to age 50 is when they start to add an accumulation of assets and therefore have to manage them responsibly. There have never been more 50- to 70-year-olds in the marketplace, and that number will only get bigger over the next 15 years because of the baby boomers. So the outlook for financial advisors is pretty bright, and we need them."

Philip Jose Farmer is Dead, Alas
OK. Plugs first. Tomorrow is all-day zazen at Hill Street Center. The schedule is two posts below this one and the info about how to get there is linked to your left. Also, I'll be speaking and leading meditation (zazen) at the Dharma Punx place in Santa Monica on Monday March 2nd at 7:30 PM. That's at 1001 Colorado Ave. Santa Monica, CA 90401. I'll also be at their place in Hollywood on Sunday March 15, 2009 at 11 AM. That's at 4300 Melrose (between Heliotrope and Vermont) Los Angeles, CA 90029. I hear they get like 70 people at these things. That's way too many. So please don't show up!
Also, take a look at the coolest review ever for Zen Wrapped in Karma. I love this one! Thank you, Enlightenment Ward!
And those of you not in NE Ohio can now read the Scene magazine article by clicking the two images I've posted today (you'll see them full sized). I love the cover and the way they refer to me as Zero Defex bassist Brad Warner. That's how it should be!
On to the reason for this post. In spite of my clear instructions that people I like should stop dying, I just got word yesterday that Philip Jose Farmer passed away on Wed. February 25th.
I was (and am) a big fan of Farmer's books. His novels often combined sex, religion and science fiction and were a big influence on my own writing style. He's best known for his Riverworld series, which I liked, but which went downhill steadily from the first book. My favorites were his one-off novels, particularly Jesus On Mars, about an entity that calls itself the reincarnation of Christ appearing to future colonists on Mars, The Unreasoning Mask, about an Islamic starship captain in search of an object that is said to have survived the "Big Crunch" that ended the universe that existed before the one we live in was formed, and Dark Is The Sun, about a far future Earth much different from the world we know. And, of course, his incredible Kurt Vonnegut parody Venus on the Half Shell, originally credited to Vonnegut's fictional sci-fi author Kilgore Trout.
I read a lot of science fiction in my teens and twenties. I don't read much of it now. Sometimes people into Buddhism get the idea that they shouldn't read fiction because fiction isn't true. But I disagree there. I think a lot of so-called non-fiction is less true than lots of fiction. I found Philip Jose Farmer to be an interesting and truthful writer. He was certainly no Dogen! But then who is? If you want Buddhism, read Dogen or Nishijima or Suzuki or Katagiri. If you want good science fiction, Farmer was one of the best. I'll miss his voice.
Finally, I wanted to say something about attachment. I think I may have overstated the case when I said that Buddhism doesn't much value the idea of non-attachment. It does. But there is a problem when you get too attached to words like "non-attachment." What I'm seeing in America is that a lot of folks seem to view the idea of non-attachment as being the same as what we call detachment. They take the view that a good Buddhist should be almost like what they used to call a sociopath. They believe Buddhism asks us to cultivate an attitude of callous indifference and a kind of narcissistic aloofness. Very few people actually do this, of course. But the idea that Buddhism advocates this kind of attitude turns a lot of sensitive people away, and that's a shame.
The e-mail that inspired the initial piece I wrote on the subject was from a guy who wondered if his love for his wife and kid constituted an attachment that he should try to overcome. But Buddhism isn't about not loving your wife and children! The non-attachment we're talking about is a different matter entirely. It's a realistic and balanced understanding that on one hand we are, in fact, very attached to everything. We, ourselves, are not independent at all. We are an expression of the universe. We can't possibly detach ourselves from that which we encounter. At the same time it's the understanding that all we are attached to will one day disappear (like Philip Jose Farmer did the other day). And it's an understanding that our specific attachments and preferences hinder our appreciation of the true nature of our existence.
Oy! I could write a book on this one... (There's an idea!)

West Somerset Railway
The Railway Station
Tel: (+44) 01643 704 996
Postcode for Sat Nav: TA4 3RU
Bishops Lydeard Station is the southern terminus of the West Somerset Railway. It is four miles from the County town of Taunton and the M5 Motorway (Junction 25).
Please be aware that there is a maximum height barrier so access to the car park is for vehicles under 2.1 metres.
Bishops Lydeard Station has a booking office and sells the full range of West Somerset Railway tickets. Please see the Fares Pages to find out more about fares from this station. The station has toilets, with facilities for disabled passengers and baby changing rooms. There is a large free car park and coach parking is available.
The Gauge Museum on Platform 1 has many items of local rail interest and shows how the railway affected the people who worked on and used the line. The Museum also contains a working model railway open normally at weekends and Galas. Platform 1 is also home to the Taunton Model Railway Group whose layout, Bath Green Park, is intricately detailed and can be viewed when it is open on Gala days.
On Platform 2 you will find the station shop and the Whistle-Stop Cafe, adjacent to the Signalbox, selling a comprehensive range of model railway equipment old and new, books and other souvenirs. The Whistle-Stop Cafe sells hot and cold snack items as well as a soft drinks and sweets.
The village of Bishops Lydeard is situated at the foot of the Quantock Hills and is about five minutes walking from the station. The old village is a mixture of red sandstone and brick buildings which are all very charming to look at. Further up the road into the village is Mill Lane which, if followed, takes you to the village watermill which has been spendidly restored. Bishops Lydeard Mill welcomes visitors on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Sundays from 30th May to 30th September (plus Bank Holiday Mondays) and Saturdays in August between 11.30am - 4pm. The mill is home to a working water wheel, the wheelwright's shop and the blacksmith's shop.
Once back on the main road further into the village is the Bird in the Hand Pub offering food and drink, garden and a children's play area. Alongside the pub is a small craft shop.
The Village Church is the very impressive St. Mary the Virgin and the earliest part dates from the 14th Century. There are some beautiful wood carvings in the church and the village charter from 1291 can be viewed.
As you make your way from the station towards the village you will find the Lethbridge Arms, an old established inn, which offers food and drink including real ales in a number of rooms. The large wall in the car park is of historical interest as having been built for the playing of Fives, a Somerset game which was once very popular but which has now died out. A Fives Wall in West Somerset is unusual as the most popular area for the game was the south of the county.
Near the church is a fascinating relic of the tram system in Taunton, a post that supported the electric wires, now in use as a lamp standard. The trams were closed in the 1920's and no one is really sure how it got there.
Other local attractions include Cedar Falls Health Farm and the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The station, opened with the original Taunton to Watchet Line in 1862 and originally had only the main building, Goods shed and the Station Masters House (opposite the Shop on Platform 2 - it is now let out as a holiday home) until the Great Western Railway added the other platform and Signalbox in 1906. The station is home to the West Somerset Railway Association, the supporting charitable body of the Railway. Please visit the West Somerset Railway Association Web Site for further information.

I have a silly question. When meditating, I've read one is to be aware, and not much else. However, when thoughts calm down, what is one suppose to be aware of. I check posture. But is the mind suppose to settle on something. Or simply search out--thus disturbing the calm--something to be aware of. I don't know if there is an answer--non-thinking maybe it. But I'm not sure I truly understand non-thinking.
There are no silly questions. Only silly people!
No. I don't mean that really. I don't know why people always want to belittle their own questions. This one's a pretty common one.
The real question is; Does awareness need an object? Or does awareness only appear when we divide subject and object?
In practical terms, when my zazen gets screwy I fix my posture. When it gets screwy again, I fix my posture again.
But there's no real need to be aware of anything specific.
One thing I was wondering if you'd written anything on is the uneasy relationship of zazen and intellectual discourse. This point is difficult for me because I'm sometimes irrepressibly intellectual, and reading Western philosophy has shaped me as much as my practice, but in different ways. Anyway, at times I detect a subtle hostility or contempt for intellectual argument in zen practitioners that I find baffling. For instance, one newcomer recently had mentioned having read up a bit on Zen practice, to which a more experienced practitioner responded, "Oh, no need for those books. Reading just confuses you in my experience." Now, of course she was referring to reading about Zen philosophy, or maybe philosophy in general, but in any case it felt a little knee-jerk. It reminded me of all those times I've been in discussions about X spiritual matter and when I asked--in as humble and sincere a way as I am capable of mustering--for clarification on some point or other, I was met with one of two reactions: A) hostility, because they regarded me as an ill-intentioned provocateur, or B) condescension, like I'm some clueless hyper-educated idiot. Or just frustration, that happens a lot too. And again, most of this stuff is pretty subtle, probably unconscious, but the underlying message less so: Just shut up and accept what is being said. I'm in total agreement that there are limits to how you can talk about, say, the nature of reality or the basis of ethical action, but just because those limits exist doesn't mean that you can't explore the space they contain. Or that, given that teachers use of natural language to explain concepts, you can't prod a little bit in hope of gaining some new perspective. (But yeah, it's a thin line between that and just dickheaded arrogance.) This happens mostly in discussions of the idea of one's "nature/essence," what "energy" is, or "enlightenment." It's all the more esoteric stuff, so not terribly important to my practice. But it does come up every once in a while, and then I feel like people are throwing around terms without a very coherent picture of how they fit together. In other words, I hear a lot of what is flawed logical argument that then retreats behind "the intuitive" when you point out how the logic is whack. To me that is bad dualistic thinking trying to pass as non-dual, where the non-dual answer would seem to call a lot of these concepts deeply into question, including the very idea of an opposition between intuition and intellect.
Oh just shut up and believe what I tell you to!
No! Sometimes this is a knee-jerk response. Sometimes it's a guy trying to be dogmatic about Zen. But often it's neither. You can only take intellectual discussion so far. After that it just becomes pointless. Intellectual discussion is limited by what the brain is able to conceive. The brain thinks it can conceive anything. And in a sense it is limitlessly able to box the universe up in new ways. There is no end to the ways we can frame things for ourselves and for others. But that's all we can do, frame things in different ways.
Dogen was also an intellectual. That's why he wrote and wrote and wrote and wrote. He really attempted to frame things for us in the most accurate way possible. But he was also keenly aware that there was no ultimately accurate way of framing reality. So his writing is full of contradictions.
I have trouble keeping my eyes still while doing zazen. I have practiced for several years at this point, and my eyes move around just as much as at the beginning, though my legs have settled into half-lotus, my spine gets in a nice comfortable balance and so on.
Is this part of the posture, keeping my eyes in one spot? That is, should stillness of the eyes be a goal that I should work towards, just like getting into half-lotus posture was for me a few years ago?
I am aware that my eyes moving around is not some random, purely physical, automatic phenomenon. I have at least noticed that moving my eyes is connected to the flow of my thoughts. So another way of phrasing the question is: in your experience, is it best to treat compulsive motions like this as something I need to work on outside of the practice, as I would by stretching my legs, or should I look at it as part of the practice, bring to it the same kind of unattached attention as I would a fly buzzing around the room or the stream of thoughts in my mind?
I used to put a little dot on the wall and stare at that because I had much the same problem. This is kind of an unorthodox answer, though. I don't think Dogen would approve. But he's dead so we can't ask him what he thinks.
I'd say to try to work on this in terms of movement of the eyes. So rather than trying to stop thinking, maybe you can just try to stop your eyes from moving so much. I had some problems with twitching several years ago. I'd get a lot of random muscle twitches. My thumbs would jump up of their own accord and so forth.
I worked on that my waiting to see what happened when a muscle would jump. I didn't try to stop it from happening. Quite the opposite. I wanted it to happen so I could observe how it worked. I found that there was one specific state of mind that I'd go into just before the muscles would twitch. It's impossible for me to describe that state of mind. It was sort of foggy. That's all I can really say.
Anyhow, I found that I was able to avoid lapsing into that state. By avoiding that state of mind, I was able to stop the twitching.
I also found there was no real difference between what we call "voluntary" and what we call "involuntary" movement. That is, there was some aspect of what we usually call "voluntary" movement even in those movements we usually label as "involuntary." I never reached this level, but I would assume this is the kind of thing yogis who can slow down their heart rate or raise their body temperature at will do.
What is a "zen monk"?
I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that it may tend to incriminate me.
But really... what in gosh's name is a zen monk?
For me it's like this. I studied with a Zen teacher for several years. At some point he asked me to go through this weird ceremony called shukke (出家), which means "home leaving." There was also no "or else" element to his request. I could take it or leave it. But he thought it would be a good idea.
I wasn't interested in doing this stupid ceremony. But this was the first time Nishijima Roshi had ever given me any kind of unsolicited advise. He'd answered questions before this. But he'd never told me what he thought I should do. So I figured this must be important.
The ceremony itself was fairly painless. I felt vaguely silly for about 45 minutes and then I was done. After the ceremony I asked Nishijima if I was a monk. He said, "Yes you are a monk."
A couple years after that I decided on my own to do the more "official" shukke ceremony through the highly official Soto-shu organization, a gigantic evil religious institution in Japan (but with Nishijima Roshi officiating, since he is a card carrying member of Soto-shu). That ceremony was far more inconvenient and way more embarrassing. I had to shave my head! I looked like Nosferatu for two or three weeks while my hair grew back. It was also really hot the day I did it. And I had to wear these horrible ugly white pajama things and have my photo taken in them. It was pretty awful.
But having done that I can now really call myself a Zen monk. It's even written down on a piece of paper somewhere in an office in Japan, filed away with all the other dumbasses who've done that silly ceremony.
On the other hand, many people have argued that I am not a monk. Their definitions of what is and is not a monk are different.
Becoming a monk isn't something you can just do on your own. You can't just decide to call yourself as a monk and expect anyone to take you seriously. You have to go through some kind of social ceremony in which someone else declares you a monk. But once that happens, you're a monk.
Of course people still might say you're not a monk. But, to take me as just one example, if someone says I'm not a monk they've also got to say that everyone registered with the Soto-shu of Japan as a monk is also not a monk. And many people do say that. Or else they have to set up their own standards and say that some of those monks are monks while others are not. But these are both iffy positions because you're going up against a really big organization who, though they are evil, have a lot of respect. Which doesn't stop some people from doing so anyhow.
The extent to which you're taken seriously in the big wide world as a monk is determined by the extent to which the organization that gave you the designation is taken seriously in the big wide world. If, for example, Joe's Zen Palour in Ravenna, Ohio calls you a monk that probably won't carry as much weight as the Soto-shu of Japan calling you a monk.
This is the reason I did the Soto-shu ceremony. At the time, I thought it was important to be seen as a legit monk. I now place far less importance on the matter.
Still, I've done the ceremony. Actually these days I'm somewhat embarrassed by that fact. I'm not so sure I'd call it a mistake. But it's not something I would do now if I hadn't done it 12 years ago. For better or worse I am a monk and I'll be a monk for life unless I choose to renounce what I did all those years ago.
As for what it means to be a monk, which is probably your real question... that's a lot harder to say. For me it means I've made a public commitment to zazen practice. That's pretty much it. For others it means following a strict set of regulations. For still others it's a badge of identity.
But these are the only-est Monks who really matter!
From the comments page-
@Brad, you wrote:
"But it's not something I would do now if I hadn't done it 12 years ago."
Can you give a reason? Or is it an emotional thing, being annoyed by the 'label' you are carrying with you since then?
I feel now like registering with Soto-shu was unnecessary. At the time I figured it was now or never. Meaning that while I was living in Japan in close conjunction with Nishijima Roshi, registering with Soto-shu would be relatively easy. I knew that if I waited and then later on decided to do it, the process would be extremely difficult. For example, if I waited till Nishijima Roshi was no longer with us there would have been a lot of bureaucratic steps involved that N was able to bypass. Or if I waited till I got back to America there would be the extra expense of going to Japan.
I'm not sure how much I benefited from the registration. It's likely that Wisdom Publications took my manuscript a tad more seriously because I was registered. But I think they would have considered my having been given dharma transmission by Nishijima Roshi enough.
I hope the distinction is clear. I did two almost identical ceremonies. One was with Nishijima Roshi in his dojo. That ceremony was not registered with Soto-shu. A few years later I went through almost the same ceremony but performed at Tokei-in temple. Again Nishijima officiated. But this time there were three monks from the temple in attendance, photos were taken, forms were filled out and mailed in and a few weeks later I got my certificate. With my name misspelled! So perhaps some guy named Bradely Warner is a Soto-shu monk while I am not.
I feel like the first ceremony with Nishijima at his dojo was my real ordination, while the second one was just a formality to get me on the books with an organization I have rarely interacted with since then.
I don't regret the ceremony with Nishijima. Although I'm still somewhat ambivalent as to what it really meant. The second ceremony with Soto-shu was something I did for pretty much all the wrong reasons. But I did it and it's done. I've done lots more regrettable things than that in my life.
Also, the dharma transmission ceremony was yet again a whole OTHER thing.
I could have had that formalized by Soto-shu as well. I looked into it. But it would have been really expensive (I think I worked it out that I'd have had to spend between $2000 and $5000 to get it all taken care of). It would also have been patently ridiculous.
One of the steps involved was to do this kind of Q&A session designed to check if I had truly mastered the dharma. BUT both the questions and their answers are already set. I'd have just had to memorize them and spit them out on cue.
Then you get to be honorary head of Soto-shu for a day or some shit. But you can't, like, disband the whole organization or decide to change everyone from black robes to pink tutus or whatever. Which would have made it worthwhile. No. You just get to sit in a special chair or something. Big deal. I'm not into that kind of nonsense. So I'm not gonna pay a couple thousand dollars to do it.
The whole thing just sounded like a parody of what Buddhism is really about.

Depending on where you are hiking, a good paperback book can help to pass the time if you are held up in a tent due to the weather. It is also enjoyable to sit under a tree after a day of hiking just to do some reading. Novels, Inspirational books, and guide books are all possibilities, but don't forget to spend time exploring where you are at as well.
Bill's ChoiceI carry the New Testament with Psalms & Proverbs that I received at Philmont. Something about reading the words of the creator when I am hiking through His creation is really inspiring.

NBA ALL-STAR GAME: Chris Paul MVP as West beats East (photos)
HOUSTON -- Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and Kobe Bryant turned this West victory into an L.A. story.
Paul had 20 points, 15 assists and won MVP honors, Bryant blocked LeBron James' comeback attempt, and the Western Conference beat the East 143-138 on Sunday night.
Kevin Durant scored 30 points and Griffin finished with 19, joining his Clippers teammate, Paul, in creating Lob City deep in the heart of Texas.
James scored 19 points but shot only 7 of 18 after having no shooting troubles during the latter part of the season's first half. Carmelo Anthony led the East with 26 points and 12 rebounds.
The first dunk of the game came 16 seconds in, Paul throwing a pass to Griffin as part of the West's 7-0 start. The West led after each of the first three quarters, though was never ahead by more than eight points through three periods.
They finally pushed it into double figures early in the fourth fueled by former Oklahoma City teammates Russell Westbrook and James Harden, but couldn't put it away until a late run behind the guys from the city of Los Angeles -- who along with Lakers center Dwight Howard gave Los Angeles all but one of the West's starting spots.
Paul hit two 3-pointers, Bryant made a layup, and his block of James led to Durant's dunk that made it 136-126. Griffin had one last forceful dunk to help close it out, throwing a pass to himself off the backboard and climbing high in his neon green sneakers to slam it home and make it 142-134.
Harden had 15 points in his home arena, where the sights of the game were on the floor and the sounds were at the rim -- which shook repeatedly after thunderous dunks for most of the game before, as usual, players tried to make some stops down the stretch.
Players' sneakers were a variety of pastels and fluorescent colors that looked like they came right from Easter Sunday church, many clashing so badly with their multi-colored socks that they may as well have been created by spilling out random paint buckets.
James and Dwyane Wade wore purple, and Griffin's neon look was also sported by the usually-not-so-loud Tim Duncan and Brook Lopez.
But the NBA's high-flyers sure could leap in them.
Durant slammed one down so hard at one point that he stumbled backward after landing, appearing woozy. He came in as the career leader in points per game with 28.3 and may have won a second straight MVP award if not for Paul's big finish.

TORONTO (AP) — ?A year after the debate stirred up by the torture scenes of "Zero Dark Thirty," several films at the Toronto International Film Festival are taking up stories of torture and prisoner rights with obvious contemporary relevance.
In "Prisoners," a rage-crazed father (Hugh Jackman) locks away the man (Paul Dano) he believes has kidnapped his daughter. "The Railway Man" looks at the lasting demons of a British officer (Colin Firth) who was water-boarded and tortured by the Japanese during World War II in Thailand.
Whereas "Zero Dark Thirty" sought to directly depict the interrogation techniques used by the United States in pursuit of Osama bin Laden (and found controversy for, many claimed, suggesting that torture paid intelligence dividends), these new films approach the subject more broadly and metaphorically. By contemplating the perspectives of both torturer and victim, they dig into questions of morality, revenge, forgiveness and human dignity.
In "Prisoners," a father who will do anything for his missing daughter stands in for a vengeful America: National issues are told through a domestic lens. The Quebec director Denis Villeneuve responded to Aaron Guzikowski's script because, he says, of how it "raised moral questions about our actions in the world."
"I thought it was a pretty accurate portrait of North America today," Villeneuve said in an interview. "It was pretty brilliant the way Aaron Guzikowki was describing tensions and moral questions that as North Americans we are dealing with. But he was approaching it from an intimate point of view."
The film, which Warner Bros. will release Sept. 20, is about the varied reactions of a suburban community after two young girls go missing. When police, lacking evidence, are forced to release their chief suspect, Jackman's father boards him up in a vacant building where he tries through different means of brutality to coerce him to talk.
"It was very much in the DNA of the script," says Jackman of the film's allegory. "What are the boundaries to justice on a national level? To act or not, to follow a gut instinct that you're doing the right thing?"
Jake Gyllenhaal, who plays a police detective trying to navigate both the pursuit of the kidnapper and the rights of the case's suspects, says the film's themes don't mean the movie is trying to weigh in on arguments about Guantanamo Bay or the treatment of captured terrorists. Rather, he says, it's about the emotions underneath.
"I don't think it's politicized," Gyllenhaal says. "It just brings it all the way back to the home."
"The Railway Man," which is based on the 1995 memoir by Eric Lomax, premiered at Toronto seeking distribution. Directed by Jonathan Teplitzky and co-starring Nicole Kidman as Lomax's wife, it's about a man traumatized years after WWII by his experience as a prisoner of war.
As seen in flashbacks with Jeremy Irvine as the young Lomax, he was among the POWs forced to gruelingly work on the Thai-Burma railway. After an incident, he's beaten, kept in a bamboo cage and water-boarded.
Years later, when Lomax learns the identity and whereabouts of his torturer, he must decide if he'll reciprocate the same treatment on his former captor (Hiroyuki Sanada). Another film at the Toronto Film Festival, the upcoming Nelson Mandela biopic "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom," also focuses on whether the unjustly imprisoned should seek payback through violence.
"These are very live issues," Frank Cottrell Boyce, who wrote the script to "The Railway Man" with Andy Patterson, told reporters in Toronto." This isn't just about a forgotten moment in history. The way that Eric was tortured was water-boarding. When we first started working on this film that seemed like a kind of antique, remote thing, and now, it's part of how we do business in the West."

Gotham Book Mart.
Extent: 79 linear feet (95 boxes)
The Gotham Book Mart (1920-2006) was one of New York City's most iconic bookstores during the 20th century. Founded by Frances Steloff (1887-1989), the daughter of poor Russian-Jewish immigrants, the Book Mart became a social center for the New York literati and a focal point for literary modernism in the United States. Steloff's successor, independent literary manuscript dealer Andreas Brown (1933-), maintained the store's focus on avant garde and small press publications while incorporating his own interests in postcards and genealogy. This collection contains 91 boxes of material relating to the daily operation of the Book Mart; correspondence, biographical, and legal material from both Brown and Steloff; postcard and genealogical material collected by Brown; photographs of the store, its employees, and events which took place there; and manuscripts and ephemera offered for sale.

Jack and Priscilla Andonie Museum
LSU Sports Interactive
The Jack and Priscilla Andonie Museum is home to LSU's Athletics history. The museum, located at the Lod Cook Alumni Center on LSU's campus, is full of artifacts and memorabilia from the Andonie's personal collection gathered by the couple over the past three decades that total about 13,000 pieces.
The museum features 54 separate displays that include at least one area in the room for each of LSU's sports. There are also displays featuring LSU's five retired jerseys, the "Early Years" of LSU athletics, the Tiger Band and Golden Girls, cheerleaders and Mike the Tiger.
Each of LSU's athletic programs are featured in their own area with a large photo gallery spanning the history of the sport. There are also 24 large wall-mounted television sets placed throughout the room that air footage of past and present LSU events and a history of the formation of the museum. Large banners are hung around the museum for each of LSU's championships, including the combined 30 national titles won by the Tigers' track and field programs.
Once fans enter the museum, they are greeted by a photo opportunity in front of a larger than life photo of the Tigers celebrating the national championship. Kids and adults can put on various past and present LSU football helmets for the photo and even don the head of Mike The Tiger mascot costume.
The center piece of the museum, that will change at least once a year, features "The Road to the National Championship." A game-by-game recap of the 2003 LSU football team's national championship season. Included in the display is a replica of the ADT National Championship trophy, the coach's sideline headset, and an official game ball signed by the team.
Please call for information regarding special group rates. The Andonie Museum is a private, non-profit facility. Admission fees help support the daily operation of the Museum.
