Sanshin is made of snake skin and cannot be brought into the USA. However, you can have it made out of ARTIFICIAL snake skin.

i think my friend Yoshi answered with the japanese proverb: 沈黙＝金？

here's an excerpt from my web site, something I wrote a few years back when the Dalai Lama came to visit Ottawa, called "my little escapade" my experience with the Dalai Lama.

[ecstatica23]

"what is the meaning of life?" He sits back to think for a little as everyone awaits to hear the words of the great wise one, the answer to this question that has evaded us all. He sits back up straight in his seat "the meaning of life. I tend to ponder about this question a lot and I spend lots of time meditating about this...(short pause )and you should too!" He says as he points at us and laughs.

[ecstatica23]

Then he continues as the laughter subsides. "Look within for the answer, but to question such thing is to question why anything exists at all, the trees, the sky, animals, evil. the only thing that is known for certain is that we exist! I am here now! that is a fact. Live every day like it has meaning and your life will have meaning!"
