The United Nations estimates that people in sub-Saharan Africa spend roughly 40 billion hours per year collecting water, and what they do find is often unsafe to drink.
In some parts of Africa, finding potable water can be a six-hour endeavor. Roughly 3.4 million people die every year from water-related disease. The water shortage is a major life-threatening problem that affects as many as 1 billion people on the continent alone, but it's not as though you can just snap your fingers and make water magically appear out of thin air.

Dharma i okolice: Sabotage all representations. The following text consist of a several comments that I and Glenn Wallis exchanged in March 2012 and it was my first serious approach to understand what speculative non-buddhism really is.
It had eventually ended up with Glenn encouraging me to write an essay that could capture some of those issues that we touched upon during that short exchange - one prominent of them being Stephen Batchelor's rendition of the four noble truths, that figure in his writing under the acronym of ELSA. Unfortunately I've never wrote that essay, and actually it was Glenn that did it in his own way, writing a critical piece about the Secular Buddhist movement in the West, titled On the Faith of Secular Buddhists.

The triple edged sword of irony or: All You Can Do I Can Do Meta. … This warm, cosy – and smug – feeling is fed on the assumption that ironic distance is automatically a subversive attitude. What if, on the contrary, the dominant attitude of the contemporary “postideological” universe is precisely cynical distance What if this distance, far from posing any threat to the system, designates the supreme form of conformism, since the normal function of the system requires cynical distance? EDIT: The following comment thread is long, winding, and confused. I was thinking of breaking it up and move parts of it to a new page, but that would probably make things even worse, so I’ll leave it as it is. If someone wants to write a new blog post, dealing with some of the themes brought up here, I’d be happy to post/host it and have it as an introduction for a new discussion.
Friendly Fuedalism - The Tibet Myth. I. For Lords and Lamas Along with the blood drenched landscape of religious conflict there is the experience of inner peace and solace that every religion promises, none more so than Buddhism. Standing in marked contrast to the intolerant savagery of other religions, Buddhism is neither fanatical nor dogmatic--so say its adherents. For many of them Buddhism is less a theology and more a meditative and investigative discipline intended to promote an inner harmony and enlightenment while directing us to a path of right living. Generally, the spiritual focus is not only on oneself but on the welfare of others.

Meditação muda a forma de reagir a emoções - Ciência. Neurociência Pesquisa mostrou que a prática da meditação ajuda a melhorar a estabilidade emocional e a resposta ao stress (Thinkstock) Participar de um programa de treinamento em meditação pode ter efeitos duradouros e mensuráveis nas funções do cérebro, mesmo nos momentos em que a pessoa não está meditando. Esse é o resultado de uma pesquisa publicada na edição deste mês da revista Frontiers in Human Neuroscience que usou imagens de ressonância magnética do cérebro de voluntários para medir como a prática da meditação afetava a regulação das emoções. "Essa é a primeira vez que a meditação foi mostrada afetando o processamento emocional do cérebro fora dos estados meditativos", disse a neurocientista Gaëlle Desbordes, pesquisadora da Universidade de Boston, nos Estados Unidos, e autora da pesquisa.
Diversos estudos anteriores mostraram que a prática da meditação diminuía a ativação da amígdala – uma área cerebral conhecida por seu papel na regulação das emoções. Acintita Sutta: Unconjecturable.
