Buddhism is a transformative teaching that encompasses various systems of philosophy(prajna), meditation(samadhi), and ethics(sila). Although Buddhism is often classified as a major world religion, this classification is disputed by some scholars. This is because a Buddha is not a god, nirvana(the Buddhist goal) is not a heaven, and a Buddha cannot save anyone through religion as there is no soul to save. The major goal is to be free from the cycle of suffering(samsara).

CONT

Le bouddhisme est un enseignement transformateur qui englobe divers systèmes de philosophie (prajna), de méditation (samadhi) et d'éthique (sila). Bien que le bouddhisme soit souvent classé comme étant une importante religion mondiale, cette classification est contestée par certains érudits. Ceci vient du fait que Bouddha n'est pas un dieu, le nirvana (l'objectif bouddhiste) n'est pas un paradis, et Bouddha ne peut sauver qui que ce soit à travers la religion parce qu'il n'y a pas d'âme à sauver. Le but ultime est de se libérer du cycle de la souffrance (samsara).

St. Patrick's Day is observed each year on March 17. St. Patrick's Day is not an official national holiday in Canada. It is, however, a provincial holiday in Newfoundland. St. Patrick's Day invokes the spirit of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland who is credited with bringing Christianity to the island. Observed as a religious occasion in Ireland, in Canada, it is often marked with festive parades and the wearing of green. It is believed that Patrick was born in Kilpatrick Scotland. When Patrick was in his early teens, he was captured during a raid and taken to Ireland as a slave. There he learned to tend and herd sheep. At this time, Druids and pagans occupied Ireland. Patrick learned the practices and language of his captors. Because of the hardships he faced, Patrick turned to God. When Patrick was twenty, God came to him in a dream and advised him to go to the coast. Patrick escaped and sailers took him back to Britain where he was reunited with his parents. But Ireland beckoned to the young man through is dreams, so Patrick entered the priesthood, was ordained as a bishop and returned to the Emerald Isle in March 433. He traveled across the country converting the people to Christianity.

The National Anthem of Canada.--"O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. "O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. "--"O Canada" was proclaimed Canada's national anthem on July 1, 1980, one hundred years after it was first sung on June 24, 1880. The music was composed by Calixa Lavallée, a well-known composer; French lyrics to accompany the music were written by Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier. The song gained steadily in popularity. Many English versions have appeared over the years. The version on which the official English lyrics are based was written in 1908 by Mr. Justice Robert Stanley Weir. The official English version includes changes recommended in 1968 by a Special Joint Committee of the Senate and House of Commons. The French lyrics remained unaltered.

Kundalini yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual discipline for developing strength, awareness, character, and consciousness. Practitioners call kundalini yoga the yoga of awareness because it focuses primarily on practices that expand sensory awareness and intuition in order to raise individual consciousness and merge it with the infinite consciousness of God Brahman. Considered an advanced form of yoga and meditation, its purpose is to cultivate the creative spiritual potential of a human to uphold values, speak truth, and focus on the compassion and consciousness needed to serve and heal others.

Eid al-Adha is a significant annual Islamic observance for many Muslims in Canada. It is also known as the Feast of Sacrifice or Festival of Sacrifice as it commemorates Ibrahim's(Abraham) willingness to sacrifice his son to God. Eid al-Adha is celebrated in Muslim communities throughout Canada around the 10th to the 13th days of the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah(or Dhul Hijja). It is a time marked by special prayers and many Muslims gather for special prayer services. Many people also visit family and friends, exchange greetings and gifts, and make donations to the poor and needy. Eid al-Adha is also a time for forgiveness and compassion. Eid al-Adha is known as the Feast of Sacrifice because it traditionally includes the sacrifice of an animal permitted for food(eg. a lamb) as an act of thanksgiving for God's mercy. Some of the food is donated for charitable purposes.

The Immaculate Conception is a Catholic dogma that asserts that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was preserved by God from the stain of original sin at the time of her own conception. Specifically, the dogma says she was not afflicted by the lack of sanctifying grace that afflicts humankind, but was instead filled with grace by God, and furthermore lived a life completely free from sin. It is commonly confused with the doctrine of the incarnation and virgin birth, though the two deal with separate subjects. According to the dogma, Mary was conceived by normal biological means, but her soul was acted upon by God(kept "immaculate") in his constitution Ineffabilis Deus, published December 8, 1854. The Catholic Church celebrates the Immaculate Conception on 8 December, exactly nine months before the official birthday of Mary.

El Dogma de la Inmaculada Concepción es un Artículo de la Fe Católica que sostiene la creencia en que María, madre de Jesús, a diferencia de todos los demás seres humanos, no fue alcanzada por el pecado original sino que, desde el primer instante de la creación de su alma, estuvo libre de todo pecado o mancha de pecado. No debe confundirse esta doctrina con la de la Maternidad Virginal de María, que sostiene que Jesús fue concebido sin intervención de varón, que María permaneció virgen antes, durante y después del parto. La doctrina fue definitivamente definida como Dogma de Fe y por tanto revestida de los caracteres de infalibilidad e inmutabilidad el día 8 de diciembre de 1854, en la Bula Ineffabilis Deus del Papa Pío IX.

In the Ukrainian Catholic Church, as well as in other churches of the Byzantine tradition, a Great Blessing of Water service is celebrated annually on the Feast of the Theophany, January 6(January 19 in the Old Calendar). At the conclusion of the service, the blessed water is distributed among the faithful, who drink it and take it to their homes. The Theophany of Our Lord commemorates Jesus’ baptism in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. The Feast is called the Theophany(meaning "the manifestation of God") because this is the first time that the Holy Trinity is revealed, and that Jesus’ divinity is confirmed by the Father and the Holy Spirit. This feast is also popularly referred to as the Feast of Jordan.

À la fin du service, l'eau bénite est distribuée aux fidèles, qui en boivent et l'apportent à la maison. La Théophanie de Notre-Seigneur commémore le baptême de Jésus dans le Jourdain par saint Jean-Baptiste. La fête porte le nom de «Théophanie» (c'est-à-dire «la manifestation de Dieu»), car il s'agissait de la première révélation de la sainte Trinité et de la confirmation de la divinité de Jésus par le Père et le Saint-Esprit. Son nom populaire est la fête du Jourdain.

The name sounds romantic and oddly soothing: meltemi. But the reality is that this dry wind blowing from the north can sweep across Greek waters, swamping small craft, challenging ferries, and shutting down hydrofoils. It also can churn the waters, making them dangerous for swimmers, and blow sand at sunbathers on north-facing beaches.

CONT

We are on Aegean cost of Turkey and we profit from these exceptional weather conditions; like 6 months of blue sky, warm sun, a climate without dampness and the good wind called Meltemi.

CONT

The Meltemi wind was known by the old Greeks as the Etesian northern winds, and results from a high pressure system (>1025) lying over the Balkan/Hungary area and a relatively low pressure (<1010) system over Turkey.

OBS

The old name of the Meltemia was the Etesian winds. Mythologically, they are under the control of Boreas, the god of the North Winds.

The Etesian or Meltemi (Turkish name) is an extension of a monsoon. It is strongest in the afternoon and weakens during the night.

A delusion in which feelings, impulses, thoughts, or actions are experienced as being not one’s own, as being imposed by some external force.

This does not include the mere conviction that one is acting as an agent of God, has had a curse placed on him or her, is the victim of fate, or is not sufficiently assertive. The symptom should be judged present only when the subject experiences his or her will, thoughts, or feelings as operating under some external force.

MILES is a system the Army uses for wargames. You mount a small box, the transmitter, on the end of the barrel of your weapon, and wear a harness that has several straps on the front and back with infrared receptors on them. You also have a key that is normally in the transmitter to enable it. The transmitter has a microphone in it, and whenever a shot is fired, the sound causes it to fire a coded IR laser beam. The sensors on the harness are wired to a box on the back which detects when you have been hit. If you are, a beeper starts sounding loudly. To turn it off you have to take the key out of the transmitter, thus disabling it, and put it in a switch in the harness. Then you are "dead", and have to wait for an observer to come around with a special key that can reset the harness. They can also use the God gun, which is so called because it can fire pulses that will "kill" you like the other transmitters, but it can also fire pulses that reset your harness(bring you back to life...)
