Buddhism For Dummies by Jonathan Landaw

No critic rating

Waiting for minimum critic reviews

See 1 Critic Review

From the outside, Buddhism seems like a bundle of contradictions wrapped inside a paradox. It is a religion without a god, a belief system without rules, and a faith that encourages its adherents to question everything, including its own teachings. You could spend a lifetime studying Buddhist texts and following its observances and still feel like you’ve only just barely scratched the surface. Yet, over the past 2500 years, this lovely religion that preaches compassion, generosity, tolerance, selflessness and self-awareness has commanded the fervent devotion of hundreds of millions of people around the world who believe it to be the true path to enlightenment.

If you’re curious about Buddhism but feel intimidated by all the exotic jargon and strange trappings, this book is for you. Written by two leading American Buddhist teachers and scholars, it offers you a uniquely friendly way to explore the fascinating history of Buddhism and discover:Who Buddha was and his significance in world history and spiritualityHow the practice of Buddhism can enrich your everyday lifeHow Buddha’s teachings combine to create a path to enlightenmentDaily observances and meditation practicesHow to fulfill your highest potential through Buddhism

In plain English, experts Jonathan Landaw and Stephan Bodian define the important terms, explain the key concepts and explore, in-depth a wide range of topics, including:Buddha’s life and teachings and the evolution of the major Buddhist traditionsHow Buddhism works as a religion, philosophy of life and a practical approach to dealing with life’s problems, all rolled into oneThe idea that the mind is the source of all happiness and sufferingHow the practices of wisdom and compassion can connect you with your inner spiritual resourcesMeditation and other core Buddhist practices and how they can affect your everyday lifeHow to apply Buddhist teachings at each stage along the spiritual path

Whether you’re a searcher of truth, a student of religions, or just curious about what’s got Richard Gere and all the rest of those celebrity Buddhists so excited, Buddhism For Dummies is your intro to Buddhism basics.

Enemy mine…

Forbidden Passions, Book 1

Lyra Marcus tries to avoid her werewolf family’s political entanglements. Instead, she heals the wounds of the never-ending border skirmishes between lycans and wereleopards. It’s a bitter irony that she’s about to die in that war.

When she awakens after an attack, the horror of her situation dawns. She’s a wounded werewolf in the middle of wereleopard territory. And standing over her is a son of its most powerful family, Zander Leonidas. Her fate may be a swift and bloody end, but she intends to go down fighting.

Zander has no plan to fight the little she-wolf who’s landed at his Refuge Resort, a place where shifter species are free to be what they are—except wolves, of course. Yet Lyra fits him in a way she shouldn’t, and the urge to mark her as his mate is irresistible. A match like theirs, though, would rock the foundations of their world.

He intends to find out who left Lyra for dead on Leonidas land. And keep her safe from whoever wants to finish the job—not to mention the werewolf alpha who wants his niece back at any cost…

Warning: Two sexy shifters on the opposite sides of a war doing naughty, forbidden things to each other. Forward, backward, in bed, out of bed, you get the idea. All while trying to escape an assassin. Then it really gets exciting…

Maryann Barmore,As Special v. City of Rockford

February 7, 2012

The opinion of the court was delivered by: P. Michael Mahoney Magistrate Judge

Judge Phillip G. Reinhard

Defendants Oda Poole ("Poole") and Stan North ("North") were police officers employed with the Rockford Police Department on August 24, 2009 when they fatally shot Mark Barmore. Plaintiff's complaint contains counts for wrongful death and survivorship based on allegations that the use of force by Defendants was not justified. Defendants Poole and North were deposed on June 30, 2011 and July 1, 2011, respectively. They had second depositions on August 25, 2011. At both depositions, both defendants refused to answer certain questions based on claimed privileges. Defendants have also refused to tender "fitness for duty" evaluations for Poole and North. Plaintiff seeks an order compelling Defendants North and Poole to provide oral testimony on certain issues and tender the fitness evaluations.

At his first deposition session, Defendant North testified about certain events relating to the investigation of the shooting. North testified that a number of individuals, including an attorney for the police union, were with him for a walk-through in the basement of the shooting scene . North was asked whether he received any instruction from the police union attorney, and was instructed by his current attorney not to answer the question based on the attorney-client privilege.

Defendant Poole was asked at his deposition about a psychological fitness for duty evaluation that he underwent related to his administrative leave. When asked about the result of the evaluation, Defendant Poole was instructed not to answer based on the physician-patient privilege. Similarly, Defendant North testified that he underwent a psychological evaluation that resulted in a recommendation that he should not return to law enforcement. Defendant North was also seen by a professional for treatment. When asked about the conclusions of the evaluation, North refused to answer based on a physician-patient or psychotherapist-patient privilege. Both Defendants refused to tender a copy of the fitness for duty evaluations.

Defendant North urges the court to find that his assertion of the attorney-client privilege is moot based on his subsequent testimony that the union attorney did not talk to him during the basement walk-through. After being asked a number of questions pertaining to conversations that took place in the basement walk-through, North stated that he did not talk to the union attorney, and the union attorney did not talk to him. (Def's Mem. in Resp, Dkt. No. 97. Ex. A, pp. 173-75.) The court finds this issue to be moot, and therefore denies Plaintiff's motion to compel as to this issue.

As to the fitness for duty evaluations, Defendants North and Poole both argue that the contents of the evaluations are privileged. While the parties discuss this matter in the context of the evaluations the officers were ordered to undergo by their employer, it is clear that the dispute extends to the content of a variety of visits the defendant officers underwent after the shooting incident. It is helpful, then, to distinguish the nature of the visits made by the defendant officers to psychotherapists or psychiatrists in light of the relevant case law.

The Supreme Court recognized a psychotherapist-patient privilege that protects confidential communications between a licensed psychotherapist or psychologist and his or her patient in the course of diagnosis or treatment in Jaffee v. Redmond, 518 U.S. 1, 15 (1996). Defendant North was referred by his personal physician, Dr. DeSanti, to Psychologist Melissa Young and Psychiatrist Martin Fields. Defendant North has submitted an affidavit indicating that he expected his communications with these treaters to remain private. It is not clear whether Defendant Poole consulted with a privately retained psychotherapist for the purposes of treatment. The Jaffee decision is clear that the content of a visit to a psychotherapist for the purposes of treatment is to remain confidential. Thus, the content of any communications between the Defendants and any privately retained therapist for the purpose of treatment is covered by the privilege.

Some courts have extended the privilege to confidential communications made between a police officer and an examining psychotherapist in the course of a fitness for duty evaluation. See Scott v. Edinburg, 101 F.Supp.2d 1017, 1019-20 (N.D. Ill. 2000). Both Defendants were ordered to undergo such an evaluation in this case. Other courts to address this issue have examined whether the patients had a reasonable expectation of privacy under the circumstances. See . Scott, 101 F.Supp.2d at 1020 (privilege inapplicable where an officer was informed that his interviews and testing results with the evaluating psychotherapist could be shared with police chief or subpoenaed in a civil context); but cf. Caver v. City of Trenton, 192 F.R.D. 154 (D.N.J. 2000) (privilege upheld where policy dictated that psychotherapist disclose only a "pass or fail" recommendation as to fitness of a police officer and no other confidential communications); Williams v. District of Columbia, Civ. A. 96-0200, 1997 WL 224921 (D.D.C. Apr. 25, 2997) (same). A threshold question, then, is whether Defendants had a reasonable expectation that the communications underlying the examining psychotherapist's evaluation would remain private. Scott, 101 F.Supp.2d at 1020.

An additional concern is whether the nature of the relationship between the Defendants and their examining psychiatrists or psychologists falls within the policy interests forwarded by the privilege. See Jaffee, 518 U.S. at 11. As the Supreme Court explained, "the psychotherapist privilege services the public interest by facilitating the provision of appropriate treatment for individuals suffering the effects of a mental or emotional problem." Id. In other words, individuals are more likely to be forthcoming in their communications with psychotherapists when they do not fear that those communications could be made public. Id. In the context of police communications with examining psychotherapists, the Supreme Court indicated that the community has an interest in ensuring that trained police officers in need of treatment do not remain on the job. Jaffee, 518 U.S. at 11 n.10. It would follow that when officers have a reasonable expectation that their communications with an examining psychotherapist for the purpose of a fitness-for-duty evaluation will remain confidential, their communications should be privileged.

Defendant North was directed to consult with Norman Dasenbrook, MS, LCPC by his employer, the Rockford Police Department. Defendant North's affidavit states that he was advised that the substance of his communications with Mr. Dasenbrook would remain confidential, and that limited third parties would only be advised of a "fit" or "unfit" decision. This admonition is likely to have created a reasonable expectation of confidentiality such that Defendant North had no reason to refrain from making statements based on privacy concerns.

Cf. Scott, 101 F.Supp.2d at 1020 (officer found to have refrained from making certain statements because the information was not confidential). There is also a public interest in Defendant North receiving a diagnosis or recommendation regarding his potential return to work. The court finds Defendant North's communications with Mr. Dasenbrook to be covered by the privilege.

Defendant Poole indicated that between January 2011 and June 2011 he was ordered to undergo a psychological Fitness-for-Duty Evaluation and exercised his right to a second evaluation by an individual of his choosing. Poole says he was advised that his statements to the psychotherapists would not be made public or disclosed beyond a small group of Rockford Police Department officials. Though the information before the court is less detailed as to what assurances Defendant Poole actually received, it appears that Poole had a reasonable expectation that his evaluation would not be shared for any other purpose. In addition, the public interest described by the Supreme Court in its Jaffee decision would apply with equal weight to Defendant Poole. Jaffee, 518 U.S. at 11 n.10. Therefore, the finds Defendant Poole's communications to be covered by the psychotherapist-patient privilege.

Where the privilege is found to apply, the communications made by the Defendants are protected and no further balancing of interests is required. Jaffee, 518 U.S. at 17-18. Therefore, Defendant North's communications with his privately retained psychiatrist are privileged. Those communications made by both officers in relation to ...

Crazy Judah and the Chinese

 I noted my recent visit to Donner’s Pass in “Promised lands.” Trains go through that gap as well as trucks and cars, as Kevin Baker, a contributing editor at Harper’s Magazine, learned when he went through there while research his July 2014 piece on the state of American long-distance passenger trains, “21st Century Limited.” (The article huddles behind a pay wall at http://harpers.org/archive/2014/07/21st-century-limited/.)

Eastbound aboard the California Zephyr as it climbs through the foothills of the Sierras, Baker recalls that the travel alternatives in the 1840s made even Amtrak look attractive – five to six months in a wagon or sailing around stormy Cape Horn or across the fever-ridden Isthmus of Panama. He writes

A young railroad man from Connecticut had another idea. Theodore Judah talked so obsessively about the idea of building a railroad across the continent that people began to call him Crazy Judah. By 1860, after four years of searching, he was sure he had found his route — the one we are taking now through the Donner Pass.

The transcontinental railroads did great harm in the West and its people, and to the world’s financial markets, but they were greeted enthusiastically by most Americans, including Abraham Lincoln, who signed a law that authorized a massive giveaway of public lands to the companies building them. Baker continues.

Despite this subsidy, nobody was sure the job could be done. The Donner Pass route that Judah proposed might be compared to a great ramp up the mountains from Sacramento. Climbing it today, we can still appreciate how gradual it is, perfect for a means of conveyance clamped around two metal rails. But just past Donner Lake was a  thousand-foot rock wall, and all along the route were granite ridges, liable to sudden rock slides and thirty-foot snowfalls.

The work required 13,500 men to hack away at the Donner Pass with the most primitive of tools—picks and shovels, wheelbarrows, and one-horse dump carts. Progress slowed sometimes to as little as two or three inches a day. The solution was nitroglycerine and Chinese immigrants.

Why Chinese? The Irish wouldn’t touch nitro, mainly, and the Chinese were cheap.

Lowered along the rock walls in gigantic baskets, they drilled holes fifteen to eighteen inches deep, poured in the nitroglycerine, capped the hole, then set the nitro off with a slow match. They worked carefully and well, but the real benefit to the Central Pacific [Railroad Co.]was that nobody much cared how many of them got blown up. Estimates vary widely as to how many died cutting their way through the Sierras, obliterated by the nitro or crushed under the rock slides it set off. It was carnage enough to provoke even these desperate men to go on strike, though they won a raise of only five dollars a month.

A handful of white settlers died traveling halfway across a continent while trying to make a better life for themselves and their families, and their story is legend. The highway brass plaque at the rest stop that today sits at the summit of Donner Pass tells their story, delicately omitting the cannibalism. The Chinese? They died traveling halfway across the planet to make a better life, and we didn’t even bother to count their dead.

Giacca: Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights in Armed Conflict

Gilles Giacca (Univ. of Oxford - Law) has published Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights in Armed Conflict (Oxford Univ. Press 2014). Here's the abstract:

This book addresses the international legal obligation to protect economic, social, and cultural human rights in times of armed conflict and other situations of armed violence. These rights provide guarantees to individuals of their fundamental rights to work, to an adequate standard of living (food, water, housing), to education, and to health. Armed violence can take many forms, from civil unrest or protest and other forms of internal disturbances and tensions to higher levels of violence that may amount to armed conflict, whether of an international or of a non-international character. However, in all such cases the protection of ESC rights is sorely challenged.

Situations of actual or potential violence present a number of challenges to the application and implementation of human rights law in general and socio-economic rights obligations more specifically. This book sets out the legal framework, defining what constitutes a minimum universal standard of human rights protection applicable in all circumstances. It assesses the concept and content of ESC rights' obligations, and evaluates how far they can be legally applicable in various scenarios of armed violence. By looking at the specific human rights treaty provisions, it discusses how far ESC rights obligations can be affected by practical and legal challenges to their implementation. The book addresses the key issues facing the protection of such rights in times of armed conflict: the legal conditions to limit ESC rights on security grounds, including the use of force; the extraterritorial applicability of international human rights treaties setting out ESC rights; the relationship between human rights law and international humanitarian law; and the obligations of non-state actors under human rights law and with particular relevance to the protection of ESC rights. The book assesses the nature of these potential challenges to the protection of ESC rights, and offers solutions to reinforce their continued application.

What I've Been Reading

Now that I'm done with grad school, I've been ODing on the reading.  Here's my current reading list.

"The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene
I love science.  While some may argue that science is merely another religion, science in its nature uses empirical methods to prove its findings--as opposed to religion, which is more backed by faith.  Yes, even science and mathematics have postulates that cannot be proven; but at least once they get past the postulates, the rest all follows logic.  For this reason, I am more partial to science than I am to any organized religion out there.

Of course, most books I have read on cosmology were almost as spoon-bending as the Holy Books themselves!  For example, Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time did bring to my awareness what contemporary scientists believe.  However, there were still plenty of questions amiss.  After all, Dr. Hawking was painting in very broad strokes about 200 years worth of heavy research.  So some of the sections of that book--especially subatomic particles, black holes, singularities, quantum mechanics, et al--raised my eyebrows a-plenty.  Having not read the studies that yielded these results, I had to resign to blind faith--faith that these scientists know what they're talking about and I am merely a boorish ignoramus.

I then tried reading "A Stubbornly Persistent Illusion", or Dr. Hawking's compilation on Einstein.  Holy Red Heifer!  Now this book made me even more confused.  First of all, I do not have the requisite background in mathematics to be able to comprehend the workings that Einstein did.  I could parse on a philosophical level the problem he was trying to solve: James Clerk Maxwell proved that a beam of light moves at a constant speed, so if one were to ride on a beam of light, what would happen to time?  But then, the math he did TOTALLY lost me.  I wasn't even up to Special Relativity and I already threw my hands in the air.  Like I could understand the Cliff Notes version of General Relativity as explained on Wikipedia, but the math behind it?  Fuhgedaboudit!

Enter Brian Green.  I've seen him speak at the World Science Festival.  I've watched a few of his NOVA specials.  He is a brilliant scientist, but extremely charismatic.  I would describe him as resembling Gene Wilder with a Midwestern accent.  He's a bigshot Physicist at Columbia, but still able to explain even the most daunting of concepts to non-scientists/mathematicians like me.

So this book, The Elegant Universe, is his persuasive argument for String Theory.  For those unaware, String Theory is one of several attempts to come up with a TOE (Theory of Everything)  to explain all natural phenomena.  Right now, we have GUT (Grand Unified Theory), which unites the Electromagnetic Force, Strong Nuclear Force, and Weak Nuclear Force.  The odd-man-out here is the Gravitational Force, which does not behave like the other forces.  This has troubled scientists for a long time.  In fact, Green claims, Einstein spent the last 30 years of his life trying to reconcile this, but failed.

And so, this book as an attempt to persuade readers that String Theory is the future.  There are others out there, but String seems to be the one that is the most mathematically sound (so far).  But what I like about this book the best is that Green does an excellent job explaining why scientists believe in things like subatomic particles and why they are necessary.  Reading this book, I find a refreshing reaffirmation of my faith in science.

From the opposite spectrum:
"How to Read the Bible" by James Kugel.

This is not the most heretical thing I've ever read.  However, if you can seriously read this book with an open mind and still believe that the Torah was written by Moses all at once, then your faith is more unwavering than Job!

The most interesting thing about this book?  The author, James L. Kugel, identifies himself as a fully observant Orthodox Jew.  That's right, this man, who sometimes abashedly/tongue-in-cheekly tears a hole in Biblical Monism still is a man of faith!  One day, I hope to ask him how he reconciles this (I'm sure it's out there on the interwebs....)

I will be visiting and revisiting things Kugel has taught me throughout my bloggings.  There is much to say.  Some I already came across in my readings.  Much of it was in passing--such as Documentary Hypothesis, which states that the Torah is a tapestry of at least 4 different strands (J,E,P, & D), each of which was written at a different time and by different authors (or sets of authors).  Of course, the theory is not incontrovertible, as we may never know who exactly these authors were.  My rule of thumb: if you are shooting down a popularly believed theory, at least make sure the one you replace it with is more plausible!  For example, the mystery of who really shot JFK:  Now the Warren Commission clearly glossed a lot of things over and left a lot of holes.  But some of the alternative theories are simply ASININE!  I'm talking about aliens, citizens of the Lost Continent of Atlantis, massive conspiracies that are so intricate that we might as well just throw our arms up and give into a lone gunman, etc.

Here's a taster.  When Uncle Moishy sang "Hashem is here, Hashem is there, Hashem is truly everywhere..." was he talking about the God of the Old Testament?  Sure, from the time I was a kid, this is what I was taught about God.  He is incorporeal and the anthropomorphisms of the Torah are meant to be taken euphemistically (i.e. "and God saw", "His outstretched arm", "and the Lord heard").  But Kugel argues that perhaps this was not always the dominant belief.  Like why did Moses have to climb a mountain with a burning bush to speak to God?  Why did the Israellites have to go to Mt. Sinai to receive the law?  And why then did they have to build a tabernacle?  I can't do justice to Kugel's arguments:  but he argues that at some point, it was believed that YHWH had his corporeality: he did "dwell amongst the people", he did "walk in the Garden", and he absolutely did "descend upon the Egyptians" and "pass over the houses of the Israellites".  That is, God had a finite spirit that did move around, and the tabernacle really was a place where he "lived".  Only later authors hint toward an incorporeal deity as currently believed in.

  1. Fun fun fun! Kugel's book was a big eye-opener for me . . . not because I believed in the Bible - I never have-, but I put it down wondering how anyone possibly could . . especially Kugel himself. Anyway, he does answer your question here: http://www.jameskugel.com/read.php (scroll down to "Orthoprax or Orthodox
    by DH".

  2. sounds like you got a fantastic collection :-) btw somewhere in "a stubbornly persistent illusion" there is a section where he describes his theories for the layman (the am ha'oretz) it is not an light read and you will need to pay attention, but there is almost no math.

Spied – 2015 Nissan Navara caught with no camouflage, June 11 launch [Update]

Posted on: Jun 6, 2014 - 5:07pm IST

Update – We’ve taken down the images on the request of Nissan Thailand. Official images will be posted on June 11.

Two photographs of the 2015 Nissan Navara pre-production vehicles were snapped without camouflage ahead of the launch announced on June 11.

The first vehicle wears a copper hue body color while the other is in a bronze livery. The truck features an imposing grille with horizontal slats, familiar to Nissan Patrol and Pathfinder fans. The headlamps have LED daytime running lights and the foglamp cutouts get a generous serving of chrome.

Nissan Navara wheels spinning
Reports say that an SUV to battle the Fortuner and Endeavour will be generated on the Navara platform.

The pickups here are in the right-hand drive configuration, in the extended cab variant, and reports say that they get power from a 2.5-liter diesel engine that pairs to either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed AT, with a 190 PS output.

Power is derived from a 2.5-liter diesel engine.

Interestingly the new Navara could spawn a rugged SUV to challenge the designed-for-Asia ladder-frame SUVs from Ford (Endeavour), Toyota (Fortuner), GM (Trailblazer) and Isuzu (MU-X). Nissan India will watch this speculated product keenly to close the void left behind by the X-Trail, if they have second thoughts on reintroducing it.

    Do Nissan have anything in the price range of Innova?? I hate Innova’s grill, flat sheet panels….Can this be a Innova’s budget seven seat MUV/SUV in India…..then this can do wonders for Nissan.
