I think it'll come to maybe three parts, maybe four. Maybe not so brief.

More likely water being contaminated with radiation is more likely. It already happened. They said don't give tap water to infants.

Ugh, that's no good. Keep safe out there.

Well it can't result in a nuclear detonation. Although the fire in the cooling tank was really scary ..... and seawater contamination in not happy ..... but most of that is radioactive iodine so we can calculate the return to safe levels .....Huseng wrote:Tokyo is in danger if the nuclear plant in Fukushima blows sky high.
Filter and purify the water. But now with some of these reported radiation levels the water itself has to be tested to see if it has possibly become hydrogen peroxide.More likely water being contaminated with radiation is more likely. It already happened. They said don't give tap water to infants.

“Where do atomic bombs come from?”
Zen Master Seung Sahn said, “That’s simple. Atomic bombs come from the mind that likes this and doesn’t like that.”
"Even if you practice only for an hour a day with faith and inspiration, good qualities will steadily increase. Regular practice makes it easy to transform your mind. From seeing only relative truth, you will eventually reach a profound certainty in the meaning of absolute truth."

Way back when I was there, it was quite undeveloped - just the ancient ruins. We heard of plans to develop it, but did not know if they would ever happen, or if they would be tastefully done. It is nice to see monastic presence there from the various traditions.

Re: The wandering Huseng.
Just spent some time reading and looking at the pics....wonderful trip. I haven't been to Kathmandu in more than a decade. Gotta get back there to Boudha, what a special place that is.
Thanks for the links, very inspiring to read!

Re: The wandering Huseng.
Next entry is up.

This details my stay in China. I didn't really go too many places. I stuck around Shanghai for awhile not doing much pilgrim-related activities. My friends looked after me. Staying and talking to them I learned a lot about modern China.
Though I didn't detail it in the entry, while in Shanghai I was invited to the launch party for the game Alice 2 by American McGee. It was interesting attending a party full of video game producers. What's funny though is the bar was Buddhist themed. They had statues and siddham characters all over the walls. Maitreya Buddha patiently watched all the drunkards.

This details Nara and Koyasan. The last places I visited.
Next place I want to visit is Mount Kailash. It is a costly trip what with permits to get into Tibet and so on, but in the future I would like to go.
I think a tour of the many temples in Sri Lanka and SE Asia would be good, too.
