|  |  |  | Fame Dictionary: The Purpose of
Buddhist PrayerThe Purpose of Buddhist Prayer
Buddhist prayer is a practice to awaken our inherent inner
capacities of strength, compassion and wisdom rather than to petition external
forces based on fear, idolizing, and worldly and/or heavenly gain. Buddhist
prayer is a form of meditation; it is a practice of inner reconditioning.
Buddhist prayer replaces the negative with the virtuous and points us to the
blessings of Life.

| |  |  |  | Fame Dictionary: Encyclopedia II - Louis Armstrong - MusicIn his early years, Armstrong was best known for his virtuosity with the cornet and trumpet. The greatest trumpet playing of his early years can be heard on his Hot Five and Hot Seven records. The improvisations which he made on these records of New Orleans jazz standards and popular songs of the day, to the present time stack up brilliantly alongside those of any other later jazz performer. The older generation of New Orleans jazz musicians often referred to their improvisations as "variating the melody"; Armstrong's improvisations were dar ...

Meets Bahlol In BaghdadGuru Nanak Meets Bahlol In Baghdad
Baghdad was, in Nanak's time, a
centre of Muslim culture - it was home to pirs and sufi fakirs. Guru Nanak
stayed in Baghdad for four months and interacted with the holy men there, one
of whom was Bahlol.
Guru Nanak sang of the infinity of God and His infinite creation.
Bahlol said that the Qur'an had mentioned seven earths and seven heavens only.
Guru Nanak urged that the universe was not confined to seven earths and seven
heavens but had millions and millions of planets and worlds and the Guru
greeted all in the name of Sat Kartar.

|  |  |  | Fame Dictionary: Are You Or Your Partner Addicted To Drama?We are all familiar with
chemical addictions to intoxicating substances such as alcohol or cocaine. Sex,
work and Internet use are also frequently mentioned as aspects of life that can
be used addictively. The least recognized addiction in our society, however,
may be the addiction to drama that manifests in so many relationships. While
drama is a legitimate category of cinema and theater, as an addictive process
in relationships it refers to an ongoing dysfunctional need to continually
recreate unsafe and unhealthy emotional intensity in one's relationships.

|  |  |  | Fame Dictionary: Encyclopedia II - George Armstrong Custer - Controversial legacyAfter his death, Custer achieved the lasting fame that eluded him in life. The public saw him as a tragic military hero and gentleman who sacrificed his life for his country.
