The first four-year Buddhist college in the U.S. was the Naropa Institute (now Naropa University), which was founded in 1974 by Chögyam Trungpa. It has enjoyed consistent involvement both from convert Buddhists and counterculture personalities, such as Allen Ginsberg, who christened the Institute’s poetry department the “Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics”. Naropa is currently fully accredited and offers degrees in some subjects not direc ...

| | |  Buddhism in the United States - Buddhist education in the United States: Jesus Through Buddhist EyesChrist and Budda: Jesus Through Buddhist
Eyes
His
Holiness, the Dalai Lama, speaking to a capacity audience in the Albert Hall in
1984 united his listeners instantly with one simple statement: "All beings
want to be happy; they want to avoid pain and suffering." I was impressed
at how he was able to touch what we share as human beings. He affirmed our
common humanity, without in any way dismissing the obvious differences.
When invited to look at
'Jesus through Buddhist eyes', I had imagined that I would use a 'compare and
contrast' approach, rather like a school essay. I was brought us as a Christian
and turned to Buddhism in my early thirties, so of course I have ideas about
both traditions: the one I grew up in and turned aside from, and the one I
adopted and continue to practise within. But after re-reading some of the
gospel stories, I would like to meet Jesus again with fresh eyes, and to
examine the extent to which he and the Buddha were in fact offering the same
guidance, even though the traditions of Christianity and Buddhism can appear in
the surface to be rather different.

| | |  Buddhism in the United States - Buddhist education in the United States: Reflections on the Dream Traditions of IslamMeaning of Dreams in Islam
Few Western dream researchers have any familiarity with the rich dream traditions of Islam. The Muslim faith first emerged in seventh
century B.C.E. Arabia as a profound revisioning of early Jewish and Christian
beliefs and practices. One theme the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) drew from the
scriptures of those two religions was a reverence for dreaming. In the Quran,
as in the Jewish Torah and the Christian New Testament, dreams serve as a vital
medium by which God communicates with humans. Dreams offer divine guidance and
comfort, warn people of impending danger, and offer prophetic glimpses of the
future. Although the three religions drastically differ on many other topics,
they find substantial agreement on this particular point: dreaming is a
valuable source of wisdom, understanding, and inspiration. Indeed, as I will
propose in this brief essay, Islam has historically shown greater interest in
dreams than either of the other two traditions, and has done more to weave
dreaming into the daily lives of its members. From the first revelatory visions
of Muhammed to the myriad dream practices of present-day Muslims, Islam has developed and sustained a complex, multifaceted tradition of
active engagement with the dreaming imagination.

On being asked as to why so many
foreigners are coming to India, when advanced medicines are available with
doctors of modern medicine all over the world, Dr. Rai added, "The
doctors abroad don't have a treatment for the psyche of human being, except
giving tranquillizers, sedatives and anti-depressant drugs. These are not only
harmful, but also habit-forming. In view of this, Sahaj yoga, which can control
the psyche of human being by meditation, has become very popular to the
treatment and prevention of psychosomatic diseases like bronchial asthma,
migraine, irritable bowel syndrome, infertility, multiple scierosis and
spondylitis, to name a few. It is all due to the blessings of Shree Mataji
Nirmala Devi, who founded Sahaj Yoga centre, and has enlightened thousands of
people all over the world."

Dictionary III on
Midwifery
Midwifery The art of assisting at childbirth. In the United States, due to rising medical costs and a growing interest in home delivery and "natural childbirth," there has been a resurgence of interest in midwifery. Certified midwives undergo prescribed courses and training in hospitals and medical schools and many are now licensed by the state. Certified Nurse Midwives (CNM) are licensed and under a doctors supervision in all 50 states. Check your state's regulations to be informed on other midwifery certifications.
