		<title>Burma/China: Karma to be blamed?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When disasters stuck Burma and China, many people asks if that is due to karma. Even the famous Sharon Stone declared that these are due to karma. It did come across to me once, but quickly I thought otherwise.

		<title>Of Protesting Monks and Nuns</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The recent events with China/Tibet and Burma made some people question what role in politics should Buddhists and Buddhism play? And more especially what roles in politics should the monastics play?
In general, most of the teachings within Buddhism is towards inwards reflection and letting go of or having detachment for worldly and sensual desires. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Enbloc: Being Bullied: What to do in Out-of-Control EOGMs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A very interesting post by Dr. Minority for those of us who are lucky or unlucky enough to have your flats going enbloc, but you have a nasty experience. Er&#8230; of course this does not apply if you are the one bullied other owners into submission.
Except from Enblocing Singapore
We&#8217;ve heard this before, and maybe even [...]]]></description>

		<title>Free Tibet: Romantisizing Shangri La</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Too many people continue to have the romantic notion of Shangri La, that was Tibet, before China invaded them some 50 years ago. This does not help with movies and the Western media playing up this biased perspective. Many people, even Buddhists, continue to imagine a world of lah-lah land, peace and harmony had China [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ode to nakedness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The most traumatic news this month is not the increase in taxi fares or Suharto&#8217;s ill health or  that our ministers are getting more pay whereas mine is not, but the Japan Rail decision to not allow posters of the Tokuseki temples&#8217;s Somin Sai in Mizusawa in Japan. Now everyone in the world knows [...]]]></description>

		<title>Of civility and equality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I always feel that hatred and anger never solve any problems. Just look at what is happening to the world around us and we can see that it had never worked. Neither should we, in the midst of championing for a cause or becoming part of the cause, be blinded by anger and our own [...]]]></description>

		<title>ST: 377A debate and the rewriting of pluralism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought Janadas Devan wrote a really good rebuttal to Ms Thio in ST. Finally, something from ST&#8217;s writers that is from their heart. Yes, some people accused the writer as being too personal, but did we for any moments thought that Ms Thio was being objective? In fact, to me, her passion and conviction [...]]]></description>

		<title>Buddha didn&#8217;t specifically say gay people should be respected</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Was reading Molly Meek who compile some of the quotes from the support377a site and came across this
quote from a supporter of 377a.
&#8220;I am a Buddhist and I support 377A. This is because Buddha teaches us to be tolerant and respect all life, but he didn&#8217;t say specifically we must be tolerant to gays and [...]]]></description>
