Meeting the Dharma Alone People may look at you and feel that your way of life, your interest in dharma, makes no sense. Others may say that if you want to practice dharma, you ought to ordain. Ordaining or not ordaining isn’t the crucial point. It’s how you practice. Laypeople live in the realm of sensuality. They have families, money, and possessions, and are deeply involved in all sorts of activities. We ordained people, on the other hand, might sit here daydreaming about lay life, thinking how great it could be. The laypeople live in a certain kind of thoroughness and clarity. You should be your own witness. Others’ words can’t measure your practice, and you don’t realize the dharma because of what others say. Teachings can be most profound, but those who listen may not understand.
Local currency See Emissions Reduction Currency System for community based initiatives aimed at emission reduction In economics, a local currency, in its common usage, is a currency not backed by a national government (and not necessarily legal tender), and intended to trade only in a small area. As a tool of fiscal localism, local moneys can raise awareness of the state of the local economy, especially among those who may be unfamiliar or uncomfortable with traditional bartering.[citation needed] They encompass a wide range of forms, both physically and financially, and often are associated with a particular economic discourse. Terminology[edit] Local currencies are sometimes referred to as a community currency. Alternative currency - often used, but in essence this term is deceptive in many cases, as many currencies are designed to be complementary, and not to substitute conventional currencies.Auxiliary currency - far less common, as synonym of community or local currency.

"POWER to REVOKE...... The New Sharing Economy Technology is connecting individuals to information, other people, and physical things in ever-more efficient and intelligent ways. It’s changing how we consume, socialize, mobilize— ultimately, how we live and function together as a society. In a global economy where the means of production are becoming increasingly decentralized, where access is more practical than ownership, what do the successful businesses of the future need to know? What’s changed about our psychology of sharing? Is money the only, or even the most valuable, currency anymore? How can Web, mobile and real-time technologies continue to fuel sharing? 75% of respondents predicted their sharing of physical objects and spaces will increase in the next 5 years. Online sharing is a good predictor of offline sharing. More than 3 in 5 participants made the connection between sharing and sustainability, citing “better for the environment” as one benefit of sharing OPPORTUNITY. OPPORTUNITY. OPPORTUNITY. SYNCHRONOUS.
Zen Center | Meditation | Buddhism | Retreats | Buddhist Teachings: Santa Fe, New Mexico Alternative currency An alternative currency (or private currency) is any currency used as an alternative to the dominant national or multinational currency systems (usually referred to as national or fiat money). They are created by an individual, corporation, or organization, they can be created by national, state, or local governments, or they can arise naturally as people begin to use a certain commodity as a currency. Mutual credit is a form of alternative currency, and thus any form of lending that does not go through the banking system can be considered a form of alternative currency. When used in combination with or when designed to work in combination with national or multinational fiat currencies they can be referred to as complementary currency. Barters are another type of alternative currency. Often there are issues related to paying tax. List of alternative currencies[edit] Advantages[edit] Alternative currencies are reported to work as a counterbalance for the local economy. Disadvantages[edit]
