This defect causes a bulging of the abdominal wall. This bulging is usually more noticeable when the abdominal muscles are tightened, thereby increasing the pressure in the abdomen. Any activities that increase intra-abdominal pressure can worsen a hernia; examples of such activities are lifting, coughing, or even straining to have a bowel movement.<br /><a href="http://www.wecareindia.com/orthopedic-surgery/hip/uncemented-total-hip-replacement-surgery.html" rel="nofollow">Hip replacement cost india</a><br /><a href="http://www.indiahospitaltour.com/hip-replacement/hip-replacement-causes.html" rel="nofollow">Hip replacement cost india</a><br /><a href="http://www.wecareindia.com/eye-surgery/cornea-transplant.html" rel="nofollow">Corneal transplant India</a><br /><a href="http://www.wecareindia.com/organ-transplant/cornea-transplant-surgery.html" rel="nofollow">cost corneal transplant surgery India</a><br />We Care Indiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179701895145578610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-67925787008374752252012-05-26T08:13:30.572-07:002012-05-26T08:13:30.572-07:00This looks rather interesting, I haven't read ...This looks rather interesting, I haven't read any books about Buddhism yet or heard any stories.

In Vietnam (where I was born), we also make offerings to departed parents, grandparents an all the departed relatives. And when a person about to die at a ripe age, he/she use to talk "I am going to join our ancestors". Though in this culture, the offering is not for increasing merits, only as a memory of the ancestors.Ayya Dhammanandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00872603662489447606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-42948923652120653042012-02-23T19:26:51.902-08:002012-02-23T19:26:51.902-08:00Sangarakshita in his book "The thousand petal...Sangarakshita in his book "The thousand petalled lotus" had an interesting encounter whilst living in an ashram with hungry ghosts.

Culturally I was Buddhist since my childhood, however I did not want to be cultural Buddhist anymore. So that I started to investigate the Buddhist philosophy rather than culture, rituals etc. <br /><br />In my country, young people like me have difficulty to obtain basic Buddhist texts to get essence of Dhamma. We have books, which are very difficult or complicated of Vajrayana tradition. Also we have books of Dalai Lama which are helpful for our daily life and act, but not 'systematic knowledge' of Dhamma. Generally what we see here is mere rituals, and our lamas are not very open to us (or I, myself, found it not open). There are not any good introductory book of Buddhism in modern Mongolian language except 'What the Buddha taught' by Venerable Walpola Rahula. I greatly enjoyed that book.<br /><br />Now with abundant source at internet, specially the websites such as 'access to insight' and 'buddhanet', I can access English texts easily. But in my country, not everyone is available to read them because either internet access or language barrier. <br /><br />I found little handbook of yours - Good Questions and Good Answers (even little, it holds great clarity) very useful for not only our youth but also our parents who had spend their young age during the communist era without any proper knowledge of Buddha Dhamma. <br /><br />I'd like join the project and to have access of your book in publicated form, as well as holding vast interest to translate it into Mongolian (I admit that I am not great (or very good) translator, but I want to give my best). And I do not know how to to these things. Please, if possible write me an e-mail to: sbonur@gmail.com .<br /><br />'The gift of the Dhamma excels all other the gifts' thank you.<br /><br />Unur.S<br />Ulaanbaatar, MONGOLIAUnurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11443980195266817320noreply@blogger.com
