Marriage efforts launch across the U.S.
Hundreds of Florida
couples this week signed up to challenge the state's constitutional ban
on marriage equality, and in New Mexico several legal groups joined to
ask the state Supreme Court to decide if same-sex couples are entitled
to marriage licenses. Advocates are planning ballot campaigns to reverse
marriage bans in Ohio, Arizona, Oregon and Nevada. In Arkansas, 11
couples filed lawsuits this week to strike down the state's ban on
same-sex marriages.

A Healthy Dissatisfaction
A
sense of dissatisfaction is regarded as an essential prerequisite for
progress on the Buddhist path. Far from seeking to become somehow
'nonjudgmental,' the meditator is instructed to judge all the objects of
ordinary experience as scarred by three marks: impermanence, suffering,
and no self.
