Tips for a better life
Your religion is not important
A brief dialogue between a Brazilian theologist Leonardo Boff and the Dalai Lama.
Leonardo is one of the renovators of the Theology of Freedom.
In a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama and myself were participating at recess I maliciously, and also with interest, asked him:
“Your holiness, what is the best religion?”
I thought he would say:
“The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Chritianity”
Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes ….
which surprised me because I knew of the malice contained in my question.
He answered:
“The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God. It is the one that makes you a better person.”
To get out of my embarassment with such a wise answer, I asked:
“What is it that makes me better?”
He responded:
“Whatever makes you
more compassionate,
more sensible,
more detached,
more loving,
more humanitarian,
more responsible,
more ethical.”
“The religion that will do that for you is the best religion”
I was silent for a moment, marvelling and even today thinking of his wise and irrefutable response:
“I am not interested, my friend, about your religión or if you are religious or not.
“What really is important to me is your behaviour in front of your peers, family, work, community, and in front of the world.”
“Remember, the universe is the echo of our actions and our thoughts.”
It is a matter of options.”
Finally he said:
"Take care of your Thoughts because they become Words.
Take care of your Words because they will become Actions.
Take care of your Actions because they will become Habits.
Take care of your Habits because they will form your Character.
Take care of your Character because it will form your Destiny,
and your Destiny will be your Life
… and …
“There is no religion higher than the Truth.”
I received this by email and don't know the source.

If I act with goodness, I will receive goodness.
If I act with eviI, I will get evil.”
“What our grandparents told us is the pure truth.You will always have what you desire for others.
Being happy is not a matter of destiny. It is a matter of options.”

The secret of law of attraction :)
I found an article , I want to share it.
There is a different description about law of attraction. Have you seen the website of Kevin Hogan. I have copied some parts from his webiste. Some thoughts may be similar to some of my posts about law of attraction.

The Secret...The Truth Behind the Lie
by Kevin Hogan...and the first truth is... that God is not a Slot Machine.
The new book, The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne is an encapsulization of a recurring wish for magic, to be real.
Shoot, everyone wants to be able to play Quidditch. We all have hoped for potions and spells to be effective at rendering a teacher or professor silent for a day...we all want to be able to fight off evil dementors.
The Magical "Law of Attraction"The premise of the measurable part of the philosophy is the "Law of Attraction." The idea is that if you can mentally attract it, it will come. "It's just as easy to attract $10,000 as it is $1," the author says.
(I can't measure spirit beings channeling info to people.)
"Attract a feather...it will come."
Not if there's no birds on your island it won't....

For the whole article you can chsck the website. It is interesting .

Actually I have read the book, and it is a good summary of all law of attraction books. So, if you want to read a on the law attraction, this book is a good one.
But I think goal setting is better for me.

James Ray and "sweat lodge"
Two people are dead and dozens more were hospitalized Thursday after collapsing from the heat of a sweat lodge at a James Ray spiritual retreat in Sedona, Arizona.
The sweat lodge experience was the culmination of a five-day nearly $10,000 “Spiritual Warrior Event” advertised as a retreat to “accelerate the releasing of your limitations and push yourself past your self-imposed and conditioned borders.” Read more at: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/christine-whelan/james-ray-death-lodge_b_315934.html
Tha above was taken from Hufingtonpost and the for the rest of the article click the link.
So, I cannot understand what type of a secret is this.
Is it possible to believe in law of attraction.?
Did they atracted death?
How can you say :
Ray attracted what has happened in his life, and the "victims" of the sweat lodge attracted what happened to them.
