The Winning Haiku from Our Monthly Challenge

[ad_1] The best haiku overturn our expectations, giving us a clearer vision of the world. Sometimes the unexpected reveals itself through an unlikely juxtaposition of images. At other times, the poet will make an assertion that contradicts our ordinary understanding. Always there is that little element of play that puts the reader in a mirthful or thoughtful frame of mind. […]

The Sacred Polyester of Tibetan Khata

[ad_1] If you’ve ever been to a Tibetan Buddhist temple, you’ve most definitely encountered khata. Usually, long white pieces of thin, almost wispy fabric, they’re presented to show appreciation or as a greeting, wrapped about religious statues, and burned in ceremonies.  But Tibetan anthropologist and filmmaker Huatse Gyal has been casting a new urgency on the environmental impact of the […]

To Kill a Cat

[ad_1] In a famous thought experiment, the physicist Erwin Schrödinger imagined a hypothetical cat unobserved in a black box. The cat is alive and dead at once—perhaps neither, both, or something else altogether. Its poisoning (or not) hangs upon a tiny trigger, its fate determined by an unobserved atom whose quantum state—as decayed or undecayed, neither, both, or something else […]

Exploring the Protective Qualities of Sati

[ad_1] Sati is usually translated as mindfulness. It includes a sense of awareness of thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and the world around us.  Some years ago, I found a story in a psychology textbook about a person who’d arranged to meet a friend for lunch at a café. Unfortunately, this friend didn’t arrive for lunch, so the person was waiting […]
