You could use a CD-contained distro, such as Knoppix, which allows you to make a boot floppy to boot from. Knoppix is really astonishing! It works right out of the box for me on my vintage P166-MMX with only 32MiB RAM, as on my P75 with no MMX, but 64MiB RAM, both are older than yours, and that shall work for you as well. I've successfuly used Knoppix to build LFS-4.1 on the P166 a few weeks ago (but mismatched with the swap and pfiuw... ne more LFS... :-/ ) I don't think the LFS bootable CDs would be OK, because I seem to remember they use 2.88MiB floppy emulation (at least the last time I checked), but that might have changed.

Thanks for all the feedback, my wife has now "been to school" on the difference between the ...38 Super and the .38 Special". Plus I now store the .38 Super ammo in a place that only I can get to.
Any thought on the .38 Super AMT as a carry gun? It's DAO, no hammer, no safety, no sights (there is a groove that runs the entire length of the slide), so there is nothing to "hang up". It fits in my pocket great and comes out easily (I do use a pocket holster)
Also, any one know anything about the semi marked FEG HUNGARY?

Tormek TOR-SVA170 - SVA-170 Axe JigTormek SVA-170 Axe Jig is used for carving and carpenter's axes. The head of the axe supports freely on the rubber lined stop so you can follow the shape of an individual edge, straight or curved. The jig comprises of a clamp with a rubber lined, wedge shaped stop, which holds the axe in the fixed position towards the grindstone. The clamp works on the Universal Support, on which it slides across the stone. The jig is designed so that the rotation of the stone presses the axe firmly into the jig, so that you only need to hold and guide the axe with your hands. This jig only works with the stone running towards the edge. If necessary, the honing wheel can be removed to allow clearance for the axe handle. |

Forever has a strong female lead, generally good scripts, and Gruffudd's opening and closing reflections are often thought-provoking.

Another successful year for Prodec Networks
Jan 03, 2013 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Reading, UK. Prodec Networks looks back on a busy and prosperous 2012 and plans for an equally successful 2013.
Key highlights in 2012 for Prodec Networks included expansion into new product areas, a move into ecommerce, award nominations and investment in a new marketing director.
2012 saw Prodec Networks expand its product range into new and exciting technologies, growing its sales team by a third as a consequence. Following the industry trends towards mobility, remote working and cost savings, Prodec Networks extended its product range in the Unified Communications area, specifically Bonded 3G, Video Conferencing and Wireless.

In addition, 2012 marked a move into the ecommerce world for Prodec Networks with the launch in November of a new ecommerce website, www.handsetsuk.com, dedicated to telephone headsets and handsets.
This rapid expansion, despite the economic downturn, played a part in Prodec Networks being shortlisted for the Dynamic Business of the Year award, sponsored by Deloitte, in the Thames Valley Business Awards. The awards recognise businesses that demonstrate a consistent record of growth, as well as creative and innovative thinking in all that they do.
As part of its growth plans, Prodec Networks identified the need for a marketing led approach to harness demand for its increasing product range, and as a result employed a new Marketing Director; Harriet Fletcher. Harriet has 15 years of marketing and industry experience and brings a fresh approach to the Prodec Networks team. Harriet's previous roles include Marketing Director at Brightpearl, a cloud retail software company, and Head of Acquisition at Rackspace, the World's service leader in Hosting.
Russell Barley, Managing Director said; 'Despite the economic downturn, Prodec Networks continues to go from strength to strength as a leading business in its field. We are delighted to have seen the company grow significantly in 2012 as well as get recognised in awards such as the Thames Valley Business awards. We are looking forward to all that 2013 brings.' Plans for Prodec Networks in 2013 include continuing to grow its customer base through existing products as well as spotting emerging IT trends and new products to harness further growth.

I can understand having to pay extra for MPEG-2 support in a piece of software or hardware, as there are licensing issues with a third party, but you're Intel. This is your chip.
Not quite. Since AMD's 64 bit extensions to x86 became the de facto standard (over Intel's IA64 Itanium), Intel has had to licence x86-64 from AMD and is required to pay royalties. Yes, AMD has to pay royalties to Intel for x86 (and more) and they probably do some royalty-swap deals, but it's not quite as clear cut as "this is your chip".
But yeah, I agree this is a money-hungry cash grab and a dick move by Intel.

Egypt ; Arabic: مصر, Miṣr or Máṣr) is a country mainly in North Africa, with the Sinai Peninsula forming a land bridge in Western Asia. Covering an area of about 1,010,000 square kilometers (390,000 sq mi), Egypt borders the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast, the Red Sea to the east, Sudan to the south and Libya to the west.Egypt is one of the most populous countries in Africa and the Middle East. The great majority of its estimated 82 million live near the banks of the Nile River, in an area of about 40,000 square kilometers (15,000 sq mi), where the only arable agricultural land is found. The large areas of the Sahara Desert are sparsely inhabited. About half of Egypt's residents live in urban areas, with the majority spread across the densely-populated centres of greater Cairo, Alexandria and other major cities in the Nile Delta.Egypt is famous for its ancient civilization and some of the world's most famous monuments, including the Giza pyramid complex and its Great Sphinx. The southern city of Luxor contains numerous ancient artifacts, such as the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings.

Also, bring it in to Beer Crazy, and they'll give you some good feedback on your brew. I've done it myself, and they're very helpful. Otherwise, I'm a few blocks fom there, and I'd be willing to help out if you need it. JCHH might be a better venue for feedback.
the RO thing isn't as scary as it sounds, just get one of those huge 5 gallon jugs and fill it up for like 60 cents/gallon at a grocery store or something. and i know that our water in rural ames has a pH of almost 9.0 if memory serves, so i guarantee your water is pretty dang hard in DSM as well.
Don't know if you DM area guys would be interested, but last year I hosted a homebrew tasting in early September. One of the attendees was a certified judge, another was Paul Kavulak (a pro and founder of Nebraska Brewing Company). We're doing it again this year, and as of now Paul is planning to be here with some of his and to critique others. I'm about a 2 hr drive west of Des Moines.... and fwiw I lived in the Merle Hay area for a few years... I do AG and was adjusting ph, but had no problem with the water.
Sweesounds... sent you a pm, but apparently it didn't go. Here's what we do-- I write a column for a local newspaper. Some time ago I did one on a brewery that was in this area from 1870 till the drys closed it in 1880. This raised speculation as to how Steinbrecher's would have tasted compared to what's popular today. A beer historian got involveld, more research, and a recipe was formulated. This rated another column and I invited the first 20 readers who called the chance to come make a taste comparison. The judge and the pro brewer were bonuses I hadn't expected. Now it's an annual event. The location is Stanton, IA, date Sept 5 from 4 to 7 pm. Will have several styles of brew for people to sample. If you want a slot you're welcome, but if not let me know as I set a limit and if you don't will give your ticket to someone else. Need an answer by the 25th and if you come I'll give you directions. rlm

sophisticated functions into nonelectronic products such as automobiles. The role that microelectronic devices play in high-technology weapons systems—already significant—will likely increase as well.
These issues form the context for this assessment of U.S.-Japan strategic alliances in the semiconductor industry, which focuses on alliances that transfer or develop technology. The purpose of the study is to examine the scope and nature of alliances, to identify the forces behind them, and to consider the impacts on the participating organizations and the United States as a country.
Strategic alliances have long played a limited role in the semiconductor industry. By the time the Japanese industry had established its leading position in the mid-1980s, however, it was clear that the number of U.S.-Japan alliances was increasing sharply from the low level of activity prior to 1980. This general trend has continued to the present. Further, U.S.-Japan strategic alliances appear to have become deeper and more significant in terms of their impact on companies and on the semiconductor industry's competitive landscape.
To summarize some of the major themes of this report, a number of forces have contributed to the expansion of U.S.-Japan alliances. From the U.S. perspective, small start-up firms increasingly turn to large Japanese companies to supplement or replace traditional sources of financing for growth, such as venture capital. For small U.S. firms and large American companies, linking with Japanese partners can provide access to advanced manufacturing capability and to the rapidly growing Japanese market—now the largest in the world. For the large, integrated "silicon majors" that dominate Japanese industry, linkages with small U.S. firms provide access to complementary technical capabilities that can be leveraged to gain a stronger position in new, design-intensive semiconductor markets as well as downstream systems. In the mid-and late 1980s the majors were joined in forming U.S. alliances by "lateral entrants"—large Japanese steel and equipment companies that used linkages with U.S. companies to acquire the critical mass of technology necessary to diversify into semiconductors and other information industry markets.
Extensive U.S.-Japan alliance activity in an environment of fierce bilateral competition is here to stay for the foreseeable future. When structured properly, alliances can bring substantial short-term benefits to both sides. Because of a more favorable environment for intellectual property protection, some small U.S. companies have been able to structure better alliances than they could in years past, and U.S. access to the Japanese market has been facilitated by alliances.
Yet the spread of alliances raises concerns as well. This report documents that the prevailing flow of semiconductor technology through alliances is from the United States to Japan. Growing U.S.-Japan technical interdependence in semiconductors may reinforce structural weaknesses—particularly

Another Astros intrasquad game, another Koby Clemens sighting
Nobody brings it to the intrasquad games quite like first baseman Koby Clemens, a non-roster invitee. Clemens, 24, went 3-for-3 for the Crushers, homering in his first at-bat and driving in two runs in the six-inning affair that didn't include the Astros regulars.

CLARENCE, N.Y. (AP) - Investigators have recovered the two "black boxes" from the burned-out wreckage of a plane that crashed near Buffalo and killed 50 people.
Spokesman Keith Holloway of the National Transportation Safety Board said Friday that the flight data and cockpit voice recorders have already been sent to Washington for examination.
Contintental Connection Flight 3407 crashed into a house late Thursday as it approached the Buffalo airport.
An NTSB team is trying to determine what caused the 74-seat plane to drop out of the sky without warning.

Mandala Today
Dr. Jeffrey Hopkins, now 74, is professor emeritus at the University of Virginia and one of the world's top scholars of Buddhism. He has published 42 books, acted as His Holiness the Dalai Lama's translator, and had a long academic career during which he trained many prominent Tibetan Buddhist scholars and translators. He currently leads UMA Institute for Tibetan Studies. Dr. Hopkins has been remarkably open in public about a wide range of matters, such as his initial lack of faith in His Holiness, past-life memories, a near-death experience, his youthful delinquency, his sexuality, and so on.
Donna Lynn Brown interviewed him in December 2014 to find out what lessons his honesty might hold for other Buddhist practitioners.
Dr. Hopkins, what is the source of your frankness? Why are you so open?
I was born in 1940 in Barrington, Rhode Island, and I was in my teens in the 1950s. There was a group of us who were disgusted by the aims that were being presented to us: merely making money and so forth. There was a lot of rebellion that was focused against the dishonesty of society, which gradually in my own mind became a matter of seeking my own integrity. My own integrity meant a great deal to me.
I was part of a juvenile gang that got into difficulty with the law, in the sense of increasingly violent pranks, drinking and so forth. It was a relief when I went to a liberal prep school where students were given a great deal of responsibility for their own governance. Despite all my acting out at my public school, I responded very well in that kind of environment, and got excellent grades, because we were respected as people, which is something I had lacked prior to that. Then, in my first year at Harvard, I read Walden by Henry David Thoreau and I was inspired to leave Harvard for the woods of Vermont. I stayed in a small one-room cabin and read, wrote poetry, walked a lot, dreamt out my recurrent trapped dreams, and I believe at that point, began finding my own integrity. And I kept returning to that kind of life.
I was inspired by Herman Melville's novel Typee, which is set in the Marquesas, north of Tahiti near the equator, and Somerset Maugham's The Moon and Sixpence about the artist Paul Gauguin, who painted in the South Seas. It was 1960 and when Vermont got too cold for the wood heater, I went to the woods in Rhode Island. When that got too cold, I shipped out of New York as a passenger on a freighter to Tahiti. I had gotten used to meditating in Vermont on the lake that was down below, and by gazing off into space. On the freighter I would lie on my back and stare upward, filling my mind with the blueness of the sky. The Pacific Ocean was clean and tremendously calm and I filled my mind with that. I didn't have a visa for Tahiti and after a while some official noticed this and asked me to leave. I used all but my last $15 to take a seaplane to Hawaii. It was nuts, but it was a search for my own integrity.

In September 2014 during the CPMT 2014 meeting, managing editor Laura Miller met with student Françoise Majeste who revealed that a close student of Lama Yeshe and a long-time student of Institut Vajra Yogini in France – Jacques Haesaert – had died over five years ago, but had never been honored in Mandala. We're happy to now share this tribute to Jacques' life from his friends and students.
Jacques Haesaert, 67, died in Graulhet, France, July 2009, from a stroke
By Marilyn Magazin and Brigitte Jordan on behalf of the members of the Ambroisie Association
Five years have gone by since our doctor, teacher and friend, Jacques Haesaert, passed on. When he died in July 2009 at the age of 67, we were so unprepared and perturbed that none of his many students in France and Spain thought to send an obituary to Mandala magazine. Jacques was a member of Institut Vajra Yogini in Marzens, France and benefited not only his patients, but also his many students who came to his introductory classes on Tibetan medicine at the institute and his in-depth study programs. Now in remembrance of him, we write this biography as a tribute to him and his work.
Jacques Haesaert was passionate about learning and taught himself to read even before starting school in France. His personal studies of biology, natural medicine, the powers of plants and minerals, archeology, religions, Egyptology, cooking, music, to name a few, surely helped him assimilate Tibetan medicine later on. As well as working in France, Jacques spent many years in Africa and later worked in the Phillipines with local healers.
In 1974, his spiritual search brought him to India where he had his first contact with Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and the medicine practiced in this country. In Nepal he became a disciple of Lama Thubten Yeshe who encouraged him to study Tibetan medicine. Jacques followed Lama's advice and studied many years in Dharamsala, India with Dr. Ama Lobsang Dolma.
We do not know all the details of his many years of study, treating and accompanying patients in India as a Tibetan doctor, but we do know that he also studied with Dr. Tsering Dinggang and worked for some time with the Missionaries of Charity of Mother Teresa in Calcutta, with the most destitute of people.
In 1981, Lama Yeshe asked Jacques to share his knowledge with the Western world in a way that was adapted to the special needs of the people living in those places in actual times. After returning to France, Jacques treated patients and taught for the rest of his life.
As well as a practicing Tibetan Buddhist, he was also a Christian and Bible scholar. Jacques often made parallels between passages in the Bible and teachings of Buddha.
Faithful to the ethics of a Tibetan physician, he expected no pay for his consultations, only accepting offerings. In his later years, he made only two appointments a day so he could remain for hours with each patient in order to treat the patient as a whole and help the person to understand the cause of his ailments, and not just treat his symptoms.
Jacques always intended to write a book so many people could benefit from the knowledge and wisdom he accumulated over so many years, applying Tibetan medicine to the West. He wanted to help Westerners discover the extraordinary and practical knowledge offered by this system. For him it was important to show, through Tibetan medicine, how people can become responsible for their mental and physical health, conscious of their potential for happiness, love and wisdom, and of the errors that would lead them to suffering.
Just months before passing on, after years of our begging for them, he gave to us, his students in France and Spain, his nearly finished book that he used for his classes. He compiled it over decades and organized the information into chapters used for his teaching. Jacques explains important teachings from the medical tantras and elaborates on many aspects of what is health and disease, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Moreover, he explains many aspects of Tibetan medicine from a Western point of view.
We, his students and members of the Ambroisie Association, are in the process of translating it from French to English, Spanish, and German. It was his heart-felt wish to help preserve the extensive knowledge and wisdom that is Tibetan medicine from being lost or diluted.
You can find Jacques' piece "Nature the Great Healer" in the June 2004 issue of Mandala.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche requests that "students who read Mandala pray that the students whose obituaries they read find a perfect human body, meet a Mahayana guru and become enlightened quickly, or be born in a pure land where the teachings exist and they can become enlightened." While reading obituaries we can also reflect upon our own death and rebirth, prompting us to live our lives in the most meaningful way.
More advice from Lama Zopa Ripoche on death and dying is available on Lama Zopa Rinpoche's advice page.

Ven. Tenzin Tsapel, director of Golden Light Sutra Center in Darkhan, Mongolia, reports on the group's celebration of His Holiness the Dalai Lama's July 6, 2014 birthday:
A group Golden Light Sutra Center students went on a sutra reading picnic for His Holiness' birthday celebration. We hired a mini-bus for the two-hour drive to Aglag Monastery, 13 kilometers (8 miles) off the Darkhan/Ulaanbaatar road. As we drove in, the valley became quite narrow, and heavily treed, very green and culminated in small, steep mountain with unusual natural rocky outcrops, enclosed by a ring of mountains. From the car park we walked up the step gravel drive to the main monastery and cluster of buildings. The center piece was an ornately painted monastery building with a commanding view.
We settled in to recite the Vajra Cutter Sutra in front of the central Amitabha altar and then joined the stream of visitors upstairs paying respect to the holy images and Buddha relics and viewing an odd assortment of mythical beast models.
The path led behind the main building and around a very beautiful but very steep and slippery mountain track past numerous carved holy images, mantras and syllables, as well as a few obstacle-course rock formations. My initial concern for some of the older members of our group gave way to respect as our hardy Mongolian ladies made their way around mountain. We stopped on the way for some birthday cake and fruit and made our way to the grass base for our late picnic lunch.

"As part of the ongoing Discovering Buddhism course at Choe Khor Sum Ling, we recently organized a four-day non-residential retreat," said center member Shanti Gopinath in an email to Mandala in July. "Under the adept guidance of Ven. Tenzin Legtsok from Sera Je, students reflected and meditated upon the outlines of two topics from the program: 'The Spiritual Teacher' and 'Death and Rebirth.' The meditation sessions invigorated all that we learned theoretically in these two modules. The retreats included reflection and guided meditation. Ven. Legtsok's pragmatic approach to the reflection, contemplation and meditation process made the concepts easier to understand, clearer and deep seated in our minds."
"Bangaloreans are mostly a staunch working community and so a non-residential retreat in the heart of the city was well received. Participants were happy to break away from everyday monotony and the distractions of ordinary life.
"Our next four-day residential retreat in August 2014 will be at Gyume Tantric Monastery in Hunsur. The retreat will be led by Ven. Tenzin Namdak from Sera Je. The retreat will incorporate guided meditations focused around the topics outlined in the Discovering Buddhism modules 'All About Karma' and 'Refuge.' Gyume Monastery is in a Tibetan farming settlement four hours' drive from Bangalore and is a perfect setting for our next retreat."

A third-year Maitripa College student sent Mandala this idea on how to use the Namgyälma mantra to make kayaking a more beneficial experience. "The Namgyälma mantra is extremely powerful," Lama Zopa Rinpoche teaches. "It is the main mantra to purify and liberate beings from the lower realms, purify negative karma, and help those who are dying or have died …." Here is her account:
During a rituals and ethics class, we learned about water tsa-tsas. While kayaking one day, I started thinking about how many times my paddle was in the water. I wondered if there was a way to do something like the water tsa-tsas with my paddle.
I came across an article about Lama Zopa Rinpoche's Namgyälma mantra board and blessing all the creatures in the water and whomever comes in contact with the water. I put two and two together and started asking around about a way to put a mantra on a kayak paddle.
The mantra that I used is actually a bumper sticker that I got through the FPMT Foundation Store. Before putting on the sticker, I first did the Jorchö practice and recited some of the mantras I found in the tsa-tsa book. Afterward, I dedicated the merit. Since it's important to protect the mantra, I cover both of the paddle blades with stuff sacks for storage, taking them off before paddling and putting them back on when I'm done.
The new stickers have really changed the way I treat my paddles and my mindset while paddling. I recite a mantra most of the time as I paddle and dedicate at the end of the kayak outing.
The Foundation Store, managed by FPMT International Office, provides Dharma materials and supplies to interested students around the world. All proceeds from the shop are used to further the charitable mission of FPMT Inc.

Vajrapani Institute in Boulder Creek, California continues its experiment with "no-fees" Kopan West lam-rim retreats, the next scheduled for November 21-30, 2014 and taught by FPMT-registered teacher Glen Svensson. Kopan West is a 10-day introductory lam-rim course modeled after the successful Kopan November retreats held in Nepal since the early 1970s.
In 2013, the center piloted a new generosity-based system for covering the retreat's costs, abandoning the traditional fee-centered model. They told participants they would not be charged and asked them at the end of the retreat to instead reflect on what they had gained and make a contribution to next year's attendees.
"The teachings from Kopan West continue to impact me as I apply Buddhist practices in my daily life and has inspired me to further study," said Sahar Bintamal, a November 2013 retreatant. "My attendance at Kopan West would not have been possible without the donation/generosity model. I feel honored that my donation will support another student to experience the lam-rim teachings in the coming year."

Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave an exhilarating teaching on the merely labeled 'I' and emptiness during the preliminary teachings for the Amitayus long life initiation given during the CPMT 2014 meeting in Australia. A recording of the teaching is now available on the CPMT livestream page.
Rinpoche will be webcast live giving the concluding talk and dedication of the CPMT 2014 meeting on Thursday, September 18, at 4 p.m. AEST (UTC+10, click here for time zone conversions).
Here's an excerpt from a long letter Rinpoche dictated to Ven. Holly Ansett in 2008, published on the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive, with extensive advice on emptiness and the merely imputed 'I'. Rinpoche advised:
"… The I, or the self, action and object are dependent arisings. The I exists being imputed in dependence upon its base, the aggregates. Here aggregates refers to form, feeling, recognition, compounded aggregates and consciousness. The I exists in dependence upon the aggregates; the I is merely imputed to the base, the aggregates, which exist in mere name. So, the I is empty of existing from its own side, empty of existing by its nature; it does not exist inherently.
"It is the same with any action. How an action actually exists is as a dependent arising. It is not independent, but a dependent arising. 'Action' is labeled on what the body, speech or mind does. It exists, but dependently. Any action, no matter what name it is given, is merely imputed by the mind. It is not independent, but a dependent arising. Action does not exist from its own side; it does not exist by its nature; it does not exist inherently, or truly.
"It is the same with any object. In dependence upon the base and the thought, something is labeled 'object.' The object came from the mind, not from the base. You could say that it exists from the side of the mind, or in dependence upon the mind, which imputes, or designates, it. But it also exists in relation to its base. So, it is the same with an object: it does not exist from its own side.
"Therefore, I, action and object are all totally empty. They are not nonexistent, which is nihilism, but they do not exist from their own side. They do exist from the side of the mind in relation to the base, but they do not exist from their own side. Therefore, they are totally empty from their own side. This is the same with all the rest of phenomena. Nothing exists from its own side. While they exist, all phenomena are totally empty of existing from their own side. They exist in mere name and function in mere name, but that doesn't mean that they are nonexistent.
"This is a very subtle explanation of how the I, action, object and all other phenomena exist. It can be explained in a gross way, but here this is an extremely subtle explanation. Phenomena exist in mere name, being merely imputed by the mind. Here one needs to study and one needs to analyze, which means really check how things exist. …"
The complete advice "The Merely Imputed I" is part of "Lama Zopa Rinpoche's Online Advice Book" on the website of Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive.
Mandala will be covering the CPMT meeting with daily updates and new photos.

Day 4 of the CPMT 2014 meeting began with Lama Zopa Rinpoche leading the morning motivation in the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion. (A video recording of this is available on the CPMT Livestream page.) It was the perfect start to a busy and chilly day.
After breakfast, the North America regional coordinator Drolkar McCallum shared her experience with the Inner Job Description (IJD), explaining how she's "fallen in love" with doing the practice. She then led participants through a short reflection on listening, part of the developing skillful communications section of the IJD.
Ven. Roger Kunsang, CEO of FPMT, and Ven. Holly Ansett, FPMT charitable projects coordinator, spoke on Lama Zopa Rinpoche's Vast Visions and the Five Pillars of Service. "The organization is about giving value or meaning to an individual's life — giving us a clear understanding of our purpose of being," Ven. Roger said as a way of orienting his presentation. "That's what we do. That's who we are. You can't underestimate it. And I haven't found anything better to do. The difference we've made in the world up to today, I'd say, it's huge." Lama Zopa Rinpoche arrived as Ven. Roger talked about the importance of Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche to the work of FPMT and the importance of everyone offering service to FPMT and to the Lamas.
Ven. Holly Ansett presented Lama Zopa Rinpoche's Vast Visions for FPMT, describing the story behind it and its development with Rinpoche adding in commentary throughout. Ven. Holly described how much amazing work has already been done to actualize Rinpoche's expansive wishes.
Linda Gyatso, the new director of the Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom, introduced the organization. Linda explained that FDCW helps to develop and promote Universal Education for Compassion and Wisdom, the secular education programs and initiatives that have grown out of a vision articulated by Lama Yeshe.
After a tea break, Ven. Roger offered more insight into the importance of good local governance, emphasizing the critical role of a well-organized and educated local board of directors. He then discussed how the Five Pillars of Service are a way of translating the vast visions into goals to which centers can aspire that engage their communities most broadly. The Five Pillars are:
- Dharma
- Universal Education for Compassion and Wisdom
- Social and/or community service
- Interfaith activities
- Revenue generation activities
He explained that this isn't new in the sense that many centers, projects and services are already engaged in many of these pillars.
Francois Lecointre, director of Institut Vajra Yogini (IVY) in France; Denise Macy, director of Land of Medicine Buddha (LMB) in California, US; and Fabienne Pradelle, director of Vajrapani Institute in California, explained how the work of their respective centers matches up with the Five Pillars.
After a tasty lunch, three panelists addressed an issue critical for the development and growth of centers, projects and services in the session "Developing Fund Raising and Revenue Generation."
Hup Cheng Tan, center director of Amitabha Buddhist Centre in Singapore, explained how ABC makes extensive offerings, hosts festivals and creates many, many activities for students to make offerings and to offer sponsorships. For many present, the scope and results of ABC's activities were mind blowing. Hup Cheng also mentioned that ABC has a retail shop and used feng shui when designing their building, but emphasized that generosity and merit generation were at the heart of their revenue generation work.
Tony Steel, center director of Vajrayana Institute, Sydney, Australia, explained how the center started to organize and host large conferences as a form of revenue generation, specifically "Happiness & Its Causes," which has had His Holiness the Dalai Lama as a featured speaker, and also the conference "Mind & Its Potential." Tony explained that he has drawn on his background in business while leading the center's work in this area. As a way to evolve, Vajrayana is trying a new initiative: organizing exhibition events that generate money through selling sponsorships and exhibition space. They are currently working on one focused on wellness.
Sarah Brooks, spiritual program coordinator of Kadampa Center in Raleigh, North Carolina, US, explained how Kadampa Center operates on a donation only basis. She explained that at first the center tried raising funds by asking for a specific donation at events, but now they have no suggested donation, letting attendees decide their level of contribution. They also offer opportunities to sponsor teachers, pujas and holy days. Since they've moved to this model, they have been receiving more donations than before. The center also encourages students to set up a regular, automatic monthly donation, instead of trying to raise money with once a year type fundraising campaign. The center also makes sure to emphasize the practice of generosity and to show sincere gratitude to donors and active community members.
Ven. Holly was then invited to briefly list all of the incredible merit-generating activities that are being done through the FPMT Puja Fund. All present took a moment to rejoice in the beneficial activities being supported by this fund.
At this point, the session was opened up to questions and sharing from the audience. Andy Wistreich from Land of Joy, a project to create a retreat center in the UK, announced that the project is completing the purchase of the property that they had found in northern England. In July 2014, Rinpoche visited and blessed the land.
"You create the merit and the money will come," Andy explained. "It's very important to not worry about money; worry about merit." He continued that if you or your center asks Rinpoche a very specific question about creating merit for your project, you will get very specific advice. And if you properly carry out the advice, the money will come. He also said that Land of Joy hopes to employ a generosity model.
Denise Macy, from LMB, described some of her experiences with undertaking large projects and talked about a recent fundraising campaign. Members of the LMB community turned their very large prayer wheel continuously for 24 hours and exceeded their fundraising goals. She emphasized the importance of a "can do" attitude and a willingness to take a risk.
Miffi Maximillion, spiritual program director of Langri Tangpa Centre in Brisbane, Australia, explained the center's popular "prostrate-a-thon," in which participants took pledges for doing prostration for world peace. She said they saw the event primarily as a merit raising event and had "heaps of offerings" in the center during the event. In addition to creating merit, Miffi said the event also created a great community feeling.
Ven. Chantal Carrerot director of International Mahayana Institute (IMI) and Drolkar McCallum led a presentation on IMI, the community of FPMT's monks and nuns. Ven. Chantal described the more than 40-year history of IMI and their invaluable contribution to building the international FPMT mandala; they were the "pioneers." As of today, IMI had 280 Sangha members in 29 countries who are in retreat, studying, teachings and offering service. Participants talked with partners at their tables about the centers, projects and services that they knew of that have benefited from Sangha involvement. There were no shortage of instances to discuss. Then everyone took a few minutes to rejoice in all the activities of IMI Sangha members.
Drolkar then described current and future projects to support Sangha, drawing attention to the Lama Yeshe Sangha Fund. Afterwards, small groups gathered to discuss issues on Sangha and reported back to the large group.
Drolkar also led the end of day reflection, asking participants how they did with their practice of listening. "Was your listening unbiased? … Was it patient? … Did you listen with interest?" she asked. Lama Zopa Rinpoche, who had observed in most of the day's meeting, led the dedication.
After dinner, Ven. Paloma Alba and Gun Cissé shared their stories about meeting the Dharma as part of the evening's Wisdom Culture program. Like previous evenings' presentations, despite the draft and chill in the stupa, their stories warmed the audience with laughter and inspiration.
Mandala will continue sharing updates and photos from the CPMT 2014 meeting as the meeting continues.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche arrived at the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion during the morning tea break on the second day (September 14) of the CPMT 2014 meeting, currently being held at the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Australia. After tea, Rinpoche joined a small group discussion on the proposed idea for an international FPMT Advisory Council. After lunch Rinpoche attended the presentation on FPMT Education Programs and participated in a small group discussion on the topic. Rinpoche then had an open question and answer session with participants.

The first day of the CPMT 2014 meeting got off to a blessed start. Representative of the Jaara people, the native Aboriginal tribe of the Bendigo, Victoria, area, performed a smoke ceremony and traditional dances and offered Lama Zopa Rinpoche a traditional sacred gift, representing a connection between the Jaara and the people of the FPMT.
Ven. Gyatso, director of Thubten Shedrup Ling Monastery, which is one of the three FPMT centers hosting the CPMT meeting, welcomed FPMT spiritual director Lama Zopa Rinpoche and Khen Rinpoche Geshe Chonyi, who is the present abbot of Kopan Monastery and resident geshe at Amitabha Buddha Centre. Gyatso recalled how Lama Yeshe had been on the property many years earlier and had pointed out where there was to be a stupa, a monastery, a retreat center and other facilities. And now, Gyatso said many of these things have become or are becoming actualized.
Liam Chambers, director of the Atisha Centre, another of the hosting centers, spoke next, inviting participants to envision an organization "where everyone is being the best that they can be." He then challenged all present to actually be the best that they can be at the meeting and out in the world. He also recognized the 30 years of work and service offered by people to create and sustain Atisha Centre.
Judy Green welcomed participants on behalf of the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion. The vast interior of the stupa serves as the venue for the meeting. She also recalled how 33 years ago Lama Yeshe had drawn in the sand his vision for the complex of centers and said, "We've done our best to fulfill Lama's wishes." She shared how His Holiness the Dalai Lama had blessed the site of the stupa in 2007, saying he saw it as a future gathering place for interfaith and scientific dialogues.
The meeting's facilitator, Sandra Stubbings, was introduced. Sandra is both a professional facilitator and former SPC of Chang-tong Chen-tong in Tasmania and has completed the 16 Guidelines training (a Universal Education in Compassion and Wisdom program). She has also helped FPMT Australia with its national meetings.
The majority of Day 1 was blessed by Lama Zopa Rinpoche, offering inspiration and advice. In the morning session, Rinpoche gave the motivation for the meeting, which can be watched online. After lunch Rinpoche gave a second talk, speaking on the evolution of FPMT and the special qualities of Lama Tsong Khapa's teachings, among other things.
The day also had many opportunities for participants to talk to each other, including a lunch-time meeting of the national and regional coordinators attending the meeting, who discussed ideas for how to best share and disseminate the information and experience of the CPMT 2014 meeting. After Rinpoche's afternoon talk, participants had lively and engaged discussions with partners on how to better learn and practice in order to preserve the Gelug tradition, which was a question suggest by Rinpoche. Before going to dinner, ideas on this were shared with the larger group and everyone seemed to have had fruitful discussions.
After dinner, Khen Rinpoche Geshe Chonyi talked about his experience becoming a Kopan monk at the age of 12 in 1974. Khen Rinpoche described life as Kopan and how he was part of the first group of Kopan monks to study at Sera Je. After completing his geshe degree, he said that Lama Zopa Rinpoche asked him to become the resident geshe at Amitabha Buddhist Centre in Singapore in 1999. Khen Rinpoche said that at the time he thought he would "just try it for a year;" the center just celebrated his 15th year as resident geshe.
Khen Rinpoche was asked to become the abbot of Kopan Monastery in 2011, after Khensur Rinpoche Lama Lhundrup manifested advanced cancer. Khen Rinpoche shared how Kopan Monastery has grown over the years and what it offers now. There are about 380 monks and 400 nuns at Kopan and its sister nunnery Khachoe Ghakyil. They receive education in English, science, math and other topics as well as a Buddhist philosophy and other traditional topics. Kopan and Khachoe Ghakyil serve as a source of current and future geshes for FPMT centers around the world, with about 15 geshes so far coming from Kopan. To close, Khen Rinpoche said very humbly, that he was speaking "just as an example of how Kopan benefits people."
Mandala will continue sharing updates and photos from the CPMT 2014 meeting as it continues.
