  • @MrWrongevolution Give Monk TNH a break. Your dislike of him or the Easterners or the Religion is growing, and may trun into hatred if you don't take notice. He's Buddhist monk. Of course, he'll just speak of the Perspective of how to deal with despair. That doesn't mean he's refering of just by meditation to deal with climates.

  • @Buddhist1986 Err... Trying give a cynical response? X-)

  • WHAT ABOUT THE DEAL MADE WITH GREENPEACE OVER THE TAR SANDS??

  • @RekkrVakaViss asin leading businessmen and women in the west. With meditation you can make decisions with positive and realistic outlook, free from emotions that try to involve themself in all of your choices even when they aren't necessary. Mindful people are environmentally friendly, how could a personal DELIBERATELY destroy their own environment?.. Thich Naht Hahn helps you meditate properly, which saves your mind. If your mind is not good, the world can become hell.

  • level of science do they meet compare to western side?... Japan... Nuff said.

    Massive ignorant generalization saying eastern people meditate, considering almost all the leading businessmen and women meditate and have active 'eastern' beliefs and practices. It is quite blatent to me and many of us reading your comment that you're making statements from ignorance. know first, speak later. :)
