Giving Rise to Forgiveness
Our
suffering was not caused by our parents or grandparents. It was merely
passed down. We are social animals. We grow through modeling. We teach
what we have learned. We act as we have been acted upon. A person who is
not loving has not experienced love. It is not his fault. Realizing
this gives rise to forgiveness. And in Chan we vow that suffering will
stop with us. We will not pass it down.

Developing a Skillful Attitude
Skillful
attitudes of mind are the key to facing potentially explosive
situations and the ongoing highs and lows of life and practice. In fact,
recognizing these attitudes and cultivating their antidotes is the
foundation for all spiritual growth. By cultivating skillful attitudes
of mind, we will respond to more and more of life with awareness and
wisdom.

Via JMG: Moscow Bans Tribute To Gay Holocaust Victims: It Would Promote Homosexuality
Around 20 participants applied to hold a peaceful event in Kudrinskaya Square in Moscow on 5 November. The intention of the tribute was to also spread the message about not repeating past mistakes and ensuring something like the Holocaust never happens again. But the authorities rejected the application, saying paying tribute to gay victims of Nazi Germany could potentially "influence" children on homosexuality. Nikolai Alekseev, founder of Moscow Pride, said: "The Moscow authorities are becoming increasingly absurd, and the banning of the rally to denounce the crimes of Hitler and Nazism is more proof of this. The government is approving of Nazi Germany’s genocidal policies."Scott Lively is likely thrilled.
Via OUT: Ian McKellen Gets Vicious on PBS
Ian McKellen Gets Vicious on PBS
10.31.2013
By Matthew Breen
The six-episode series Vicious
from Britain’s ITV that stars veteran British thesps Ian McKellen and
Derek Jacobi is coming to the United States in a deal with PBS, which
will give the broadcaster rights to air the series in 2014.
The series from Will & Grace executive producer Gary Janetti, features McKellen and Jacobi as “a constantly bickering couple who’ve lived together in a small Covent Garden flat for nearly 50 years.
But underneath all their vicious co-dependent fighting, they deeply love each other,” according to Deadline Hollywood.
Frances de la Tour (the Harry Potter movies) and Iwan Rheon (Game of Thrones) also appear in the series.
Vicious has a green light for a second season in the U.K., and as these things go these days, an American version is also being considered. Sometimes it works (see: The Office) and sometimes it sucks (see: Coupling, Football Wives, Red Dwarf, Skins, I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here).
