Happy Wesak Day
At this Fullmoon Da y do all Buddhas Awaken:
2009 Ma y 8 Wesak Da y celebrates the birth, Enlightenment and passing away of the Buddha Gotama. Keep Clean, Calm, Clever, Kind, Generous, and Gentle.
.
Remember:
At this Ma y full moon in y ear 534 BC the Blessed Buddha awakened by completely perfect and utterly unsurpassable self-Enlightenment.
At that time a girl named Sujata Senani lived in Uruvela. When adult, she pray at before a certain Banyan tree, that she might get a good husband equal to herself in caste & that her firstborn ma y be a son. Her prayer was successful, since so indeed did it happen. At the full
moon da y of the Wesak month, she rose at earl y dawn & milked the cows. As soon as new buckets were placed under the cows, the milk poured in streams spontaneously all by it self. Seeing this miracle, she knew something special was going on. Now at that very night the Future Buddha had 5 dr eams that made him conclude: Surely, truly, without any doubt, today is the very day , I will reach Enlightenment.
His 5 colored radiance illuminated the whole tree. Then Sujata came and offered the cooked milk rice in the hands of the Great Being.
After that a grass-cutter came going with a bundle of grass just harvested from nearby . He offered the Great Being 8 handfuls of Kusa grass, when he saw that this Sage was a Holy Man. The Future Buddha accepted the grass & proceeded to the foot of the Bo-tree.
Reaching the imperturbable Eastern side, where all the Buddhas take their seat, he sat down sa y ing to himself. This is verily the immovable spot, where all the prior supreme Buddhas have planted themselves,
This is the very place for destroying this net of desire. Then the Future Buddha turned his back to the trunk and thus faced east.
Right there, he then resolutely settled on this mighty decision:
Let just blood & flesh of this body dry up & let skin and sinews fall from the bones. I will not leave this seat before having attained the absolute supreme Enlightenment!
So determined did he seat himself in this unconquerable seat, which not a 100 strikes of lightning could make him waver from. At this very moment the rebel deity Mara -the Evil One- raised exclaiming: Prince Siddhattha will pass beyond my power, but I will never allow it, and sounding the Mara's war shout, he raised his army & went out for battle. Then Mara said to his evil militia: This Sakyamuni, son of Suddhodana, is far greater than any other man, so we will never succeed to fight him up front. We will thus have to attack him from behind. Frustrated, being unable even to touch the Wielder of power with 9 mighty hurricanes of wind, rain,
rocks, weapons, red coals, hot ashes, sand, mud, and darkness Mara somewhat in panic commanded his army : Why do you all stand still?
Seize, kill & drive away this prince. Mara yelled: Siddhattha, leave this seat. It is not yours, but mine. Hearing this the Well-gone One replied: Mara, neither have you fulfilled the 10 perfections to the third degree nor have you given the 5 great donations. Neither have you striven for insight, nor for the welfare of all the world, nor for enlightenment. Therefore does this seat not belong to you, but truly indeed onl y to me. Suddenl y overpowered by fear Mara's followers fled helter-skelter in all directions. Not two went the same way , but leaving their weapons in a chaos all behind, the y all fled terrified by metaphysical panic. Seeing them flee, the great assembly of deities triumphantly shouted: Mara is defeated. Prince Siddhattha has Won.
Let us celebrate this trul y sublime, wonderful and unique Victory. It was before the sun had set that the Tathagata thus conquered Mara & defeated his army . That same night, after having bathed, while the Bo tree rained red sprigs on his robe, the Consummate One
gained knowledge of his prior lives in the first watch of the night: With the mind thus concentrated, purified, bright, fixed, unified, focused, tractable, compliant, steady & imperturbable, I directed it to remembrance of my past lives. I recollected many past lives, i.e.,
one birth, two...five, ten...fift y , a hundred, a thousand, 100 thousand, many eons of cosmic contraction, & many eons of cosmic expansion:
There I had such a name, belonged to such a clan & species, had such a body .
Such was my food, such my life of pleasure & pain, such was the end of m y life.
Passing away from that state, I re-arose there.
There I had such name, belonged to such a sort & famil y , had such a form.
Such was my food, such my experience of pleasure & pain, such was the end of m y life.
Passing awa y from that state, I re-arose here.
Thus I remembered my various past lives in all their various modes & manifold details.
This was the first knowledge I attained in the first watch of the night. Ignorance was destro y ed; the knowledge arose; darkness was destroyed; light arose as happens in one who is alert, aware, & determined. But the pleasant feeling that arose in this way did not invade my mind or remain. With the mind thus concentrated, purified, bright, intact, pliant, malleable, steady and imperturbable, I directed it to the knowledge of the passing away & reappearance of beings. I saw by means of the divine e ye, purified & surpassing the human eye & I saw beings passing away & re-appearing, and I realized how and why they are high and low, beautiful or ugly , fortunate and unfortunate all in exact accordance with the intentions of their prior actions: These beings who were endowed with bad behaviour of body, speech, & mind, who reviled the Noble Ones, held wrong views & acted under the influence of wrong views, with the break-up of the body, after death, have re-appeared in the plane of misery , the bad painful destination, the lower realms, even in hell. But these beings who were gifted with good behaviour of body,speech & mind, who did not revile the Noble Ones, who held right views and acted under the influence
of right views after the break-up of the body , after the death, have re-appeared in happy destinations, even in a divine world.
Thus by means of the divine eye, purified & surpassing the human I saw beings passing away & re-appearing, all in accordance with their particular mixture of good & bad kamma. But the satisfaction that arose in this wa y did not invade m y mind nor remain. With the mind
thus concentrated, absorbed, I directed it towards understanding the ending of the mental fermentations. I realized how it actually comes to be, that:
Such is Suffering...
Such is the Cause of Suffering...
Such is the End of Suffering...
Such is the Way to End Suffering...
Such was the mental fermentations...
Such is the Cause of mental fermentation...
Such is the End of mental fermentation...
Such is the Wa y leading to the end of fermentation.
When my mind saw that, it was instantly freed of the fermentation of sense-desire, it was released from the fermentation of becoming, and it became fully unobstructed by the fermentation of ignorance.
Full y & perfectl y Enlightened - The Buddha - perceiving this immense glory, spoke these 2 solemn verses, which never has been omitted by any of countless thousands of prior Buddhas:
Through this round of countless existences have I searched, but yet failed to find "the Creator", who framed this construction: What a Suffering is indeed such Endless Birth, Ageing, Deca y & Death!
Now I see that "the Constructor" of this structure is Craving...!!!
Never shall this construction be build again, as all the rafters are shattered and the main beam is busted & broken...
At this calming of all Craving, the mind was finally , irreversibly & ultimately stilled…
Then, friends, this revelation of certaint y arose in me: This release is immutable, this is the very last birth, this endless re-appearance has finally ceased...

The concepts under life insurance like National Debt Clock Adds a Digit to Accommodate Growing Deficit, In these uncertain financial times, one thing remains certain, the ever expanding national debt, but it’s growing at such an accelerated rate, the clock that has kept track of the deficit since 1989 has had to add a digit.

Swine Flu Hits Mexico
The World Health Organization (WHO) on Monday raised the pandemic swine flu alert level from phase 3 to 4, two levels below the declaration of a full pandemic. The elevated alert means there has been sustained human-to-human transmission of the new A/H1N1 swine flu virus and that scientists now believe government efforts should focus on slowing the spread of the virus rather than containing it at its source.
"We have taken a step in that direction, but a pandemic is not considered inevitable," said Keiji Fukuda, the WHO's interim director-general for health, safety and environment. "The situation is fluid and continues to evolve."
Hoping for Help
Lazaro Gonzalez, 40, wears a protective mask as he waits for passersby to donate money to him. Health experts said the virus comes from the same strain that causes seasonal outbreaks in humans. But they claim this newly-detected version contains genetic material from versions of flu which usually affect pigs and birds.
In Sickness and In Health
Erika Cruz, left, helps her husband Miguel Anguel Esquivel walk toward the emergency entrance of Mexico City's National Institute of Respiratory Illnesses. Esquivel was grunting, sweating and wearing tissue paper in his ears as the couple hurried to the hospital with him showing symptoms of the influenza virus that has plagued the city.
Taking Cover
A soldier hands out masks in central Mexico City. The E.U.'s health commissioner urged Europeans on Monday to postpone non-essential travel to Mexico and the U.S. The illness has claimed at least 152 lives, confined hundreds to hospital and brought Mexico City, one of the world's largest cities, to a virtual standstill.
The Mask of Mexico
A Mexican policeman patrols Mexico City's historic Zocalo square. José Ángel Córdova, the Mexican health secretary, said suspected swine flu cases in his country had risen to 1,614.
Quick Embrace
A couple attempts to kiss. Across Mexico more than 1,300 people were tested for suspected swine flu infection and 400 were taken to hospital for checks. Health officials believe that tens of thousands, and possibly more, have been infected but have since recovered.
Fears of a Clown
A clown wears a surgical mask as a precaution against infection. "[We are] monitoring, minute by minute, the evolution of this problem across the whole country," said the Mexican president, Felipe Calderón. The World Bank approved $205m in loans Sunday to fight the outbreak in Mexico.
Praying for Better Times
People wearing protective masks pay respects to Our Lady of Guadalupe as they passed Guadalupe's shrine at the Basilica de Guadalupe. Mexico's biggest Catholic church was shut down and masses canceled as a precaution to keep large crowds away. Many public buildings, including schools, have also been closed.

The frilled lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingi) is a yellowish-brown australian lizard has got a large frill of skin to the sides of the neck and throat. It is about 90 cm/35 in long, and when is angry or alarmed, it erects its frill, which may be as much as 25cm/10 in in diameter, thus giving itself the appearance of being larger than it really is. Frilled lizards are generally tree-living but may spend some time on the ground, where they run with their forelimbs in the air.

Discovered I
Gumprecht's Green Pit Viper
This striking bright green snake, commonly known as Gumprecht's Pit Viper, is found in the southeastregion of Greater Mekong.
The serpent, which has the formal name Thremeresurus gumprechti, was first described by scientists in 2002,although he doesn't look like he appreciates having been discovered.
Snakefish
In 2002, the snakefish (or Channidae) was described as "something from a bad horror movie" by US Interior Secretary Gale Norton. Some describe snakefish as having "a voracious appetite, often consuming all other fish in a lake or pond and even eating its young.
It can slither across land, staying out of water for up to three days, to find new sources of food." Norton also warns that once on land "snakeheads can eat almost any small animal in its path….
They have even attacked people in China who got too close to snakeheads' egg nesting areas." According to Wikipedia, snakefish can be up to over a metre in length and over 6 kilograms in weight. Most snakefish are 2-3 feet long.
They're also fast reproducers with no natural enemies outside of their native environments. Within their native environments, small snakefish are preyed upon by bigger fish, while full-grown snakefish are consumed by crocodiles and alligators. Because of their ability to move into new habitats and wipe out local ecosystems (and to then hop out of the water and mosey on over to another body of water and repeat the process) snakefish have been prohibited in 13 American states and other countries (e.g., Australia).
3) Giant Isopod
This Predator look-alike is a Giant Isopod (Bathynomus giganteus), a carnivorous crustacean that spends its time scavenging the deep ocean floor, up to 6,000ft down on the seabed where there is no light. In the pitch black and cold, they survive by feasting on dead and decaying fish and other marine animals. >
4) Aye-aye
Considered by locals as a harbinger of misfortune, the Aye-aye is one of the world's most rare and bizarre looking primates. To the Malagasy people, the aye-aye is magical, and believed to bring death to the village it appears in; therefore they're often killed on sight.
The aye-aye is the world's largest nocturnal primate with an average head and body length of 16 inches (40 centimeters), a long bushy tail of 2 feet (61 centimeters) long, and weighs about 4 pounds (2 kilos).
The Aye-aye has large beady eyes, black hair, and large spoon-shaped ears. It has 5-fingered hands with flat nails, with a middle finger up to 3 times the length of the others.
5) Star-nosed Mole
One of the most intriguing stars in the universe is right here on Earth: the eleven pairs of pink fleshy appendages ringing the snout of the star-nosed mole (Condylura cristata). From its appearance and location, one would think this star might be a supersensitive olfactory organ, helping the nearly blind mole negotiate its subterranean environment, or an extra hand for grasping prey or manipulating objects. Some researchers have hypothesized that the star detects electric fields, thus acting as a kind of antenna. But in reality, the star is an extraordinary touch organ with more than 25,000 minute sensory receptors, called Eimer's organs, with which this hamster-sized mole feels its way around.
