When we find our voice, right speech leads to right action. We all have something useful to say, if only we have the wisdom to know how and when to say it. David Ryushin Bodney, “Free Speech and Right Speech” CLICK HERE TO READ THE ARTICLE

I am saddened to learn of the devastating floods in the Rasuwa region of Nepal and Kyirong in Tibet, resulting in loss of life and heavy structural damage. I pray for all those who have lost their lives, and offer my sympathy and heartfelt condolences to the bereaved and to all those affected by this tragedy.

Since this region has seen calamities in the past as well, these are certainly symptoms of a deeper underlying cause — whether climate change or other factors. I hope that appropriate follow-up measures will be taken, wherever possible, to help ensure that such disasters do not recur.

With my prayers,

Dalai Lama

I was in a Nashville hair salon (appropriate!) when I heard that Dolly Parton had died. Everyone’s phone started buzzing with texts: This was a cataclysmic event. As the town where Dolly first made her mark began to grieve, with people placing flowers at the many shrines to the country legend that dot the landscape, I went home to write an appreciation of her music. Below is an excerpt. The whole essay is here.
