IF
(“Brother square-Toes’’ Rewards and Fairies)
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
Ruyard Kipling

A fool with a sense of his foolishness

is — at least to that extent — wise.

But a fool who thinks himself wise

really deserves to be called a fool.

Fund Raising Show for Giri Cyclone Victims

Dear Dhamma Friends,

It is our immense pleasure to give you the news that Arakanese and Myanmar celebrities are going to organize Fund Raising Show for Giri Cyclone Victims in Arakan state of Myanmar on 30th December 2010 at Thuwanna Stadium from 5.00 to 9.00 PM. The above video is the announcement of the show in Myanmar.

Arakanese Fund Raising Show for Giri Cyclone Victims

As you noted, the Cyclone namely “Giri” had hit severely to North-East Rakhine State on last October 2010
affecting more than 500,000 people leaving them in dire situations, causing loss of all their belongings such
as families, homes, shelters, schools, professional facilities, mostly all the whole, not to say damages to
environ and habitat of the flora and fauna in the Region. We, Rakhine people most appreciate government authorities, local and international non-governmental organizations, humanitarian associations, donors, aid workers for their timely and reliable relief works and assists so far provided to our badly needed people. However, it will take more time to assuage the grieves of
victims and to bring them back to normal lives as ever before, so also needed are more aids and funds for a long run works.To shoulder by Rakhine people ourselves upon burden of relief for Cyclone victims, our “Rakhine Lay Wady Cultural Troup” is going to stage a music and cultural show on coming 30th December 2010 (Thursday);
(5:00pm ~ 9:00pm) at Thuwanna Indoor Sport Stadium No. 1, Yangon to the purpose of fund raising for relief works. We are proud to let you know that “Rakhine Lay Wady Cultural Troup” is a branch of the “Rakhine Literary and Cultural Committee (Yangon)”, a well-functioned organization representing all Rakhine Nationals dwelling around Yangon in population of approximately half a million and even more.It is indeed our great honor to invite you to the Show for your enjoyment on performances of Rakhine
Traditional Dances, modern or pop songs and other entertainments by the most famous Myanmar and Rakhine actors, actresses, singers and entertainers of the date.
Also not less importantly, we do request you for your most kindly “donations” of any cash (either in Kyat or FEC) and/or any kinds for relief fund and collections before or at the Show. You may contact us by phone numbers shown below for any further queries, if any. Thank you so much for your support.

Yours truly,

Emergency Assistance needed for Cyclone Giri Victims in Arakan state of Myanmar

Emergency Assistance needed for Cyclone Giri Victims in Arakan State of Myanmar.

A powerful Cyclone Giria hit Kyauk Phyu, Than Dwe and Sittwe districits of Arakan State, Myanmar on 22/10/10 at around 5 PM. Due to lack of proper emergency relief measure, the victims are facing hazardous problems. According to telephonic news, around 4500 refugees are taking shelter at Buddhist temples and government's school buildings in Kyauk Phyu alone. The death toll and the damages following the cyclone Giri increases. However, the state-controlled media remains silent. According to the latest news, 26 bodies have been found in seven villages in Myebon township so far. Since it is crop seasons, almost all crops were destroyed by the cyclone.

Social Life is key to good health: Study

Group Membership Can Reduce Risk of Stroke, Dementia And Even Common Cold

Washington: The quality of social life has a greater impact on a person’s health and well – being than diet and exercise, according to a new study.

Researchers have found that quality of an individual’s social life significantly reduces the risk of condition like stroke, dementia and even the common cold. These findings have been validated by the universities of Exeter and Queensland, Australia, based on a review study of previous research, including their own, which links group membership with physical and mental health.

Lead researcher Alex Haslam, a professor at the University of Exeter said: “We are social animals who live and have evolved to live in social groups. Membership of groups, from football teams to book clubs and voluntary societies, gives us a sense of social identity. This is an indispensable part of who we are and what we need to be in order to lead rich and fulfilling lives. For this reason groups are central to mental functioning health and well-being.”

The researchers have based their findings on an analysis of a number of recent studies.

A 2008 study of stroke sufferers showed that being able to maintain valued group memberships placed an important role in positive recovery as an ability to overcome cognitive difficulties. After their stroke, people’s life satisfaction increased by 12 percent for every group membership.

Likewise, a 2009 study of residents entering a new care home showed that those who participated as a group in decisions related to the decoration of communal areas used those areas 57 percent more over the next month and were far happier as a result. In contrast, the use of space by residents in a control group declined by 60 percent.

Co-researcher Jolanda Jetten of the University of Queensland said: “New research shows just how important groups and social identity are to well-being. This is something that people often overlook in the rush to find medical solutions to problems associated with ageing. But it is time that these factors were taken much more seriously.”

The findings are published in the latest edition of the ‘Scientific American Mind’journal. AGENCIES

Eight Clues to Happiness

Eight clues to happiness

Having lived a reasonably contented life, I was musing over what a person should strive for to achieve happiness. I drew up a list of a few essentials which I put forward for the readers' appraisal.

First and foremost is good health. If you do not enjoy good health you can never be happy. Any ailment, however trivial, will deduct from your happiness.

Second, a healthy bank balance. It need not run into crores but should be enough to provide for creature comforts and something to spare for recreation, like eating out, going to pictures, travelling or going on holidays on the hills or by the sea. Shortage of money can be only demoralizing. Living on credit or borrowing is demeaning and lowers one in one's own eyes.

Third, a home of your own. Rented premises can never give you the snug feeling of a nest which is yours for keeps that a home provides: if it has a garden space, all the better. Plant your own trees and flowers, see them grow and blossom, cultivate a sense of kinship with them.

Fourth, an understanding companion, be it your spouse or a friend. If there are too many misunderstandings, they will rob you of your peace of mind. It is better to be divorced than to bicker all the time.

Fifth, lack of envy towards those who have done better than you in life – risen higher, made more money, or earned more fame. Envy can be very corroding; avoid comparing yourself with others.

Sixth, do not allow other people to descend on you for gup-shup. By the time you get rid of them, you will feel exhausted and poisoned by their gossip-mongering.

Seventh, Cultivate some hobbies which can bring you a sense of fulfillment, such as gardening, reading, writing, painting, playing or listening to music. Going to clubs or parties to get free drinks or to meet celebrities is criminal waste of time.

Eighth, every morning and evening, devote 15 minutes to introspection. In the morning, 10 minutes should be spent on stilling the mind and then five in listing things you have to do that day. In the evening, five minutes to still the mind again, and ten to go over what you had undertaken to do.

Nathaniel Cotton (1721-1788) summed up my views on the subject in one verse: If solid happiness we prize,/ Within our breast this jewel lies;/ and they are fools who roam:/ The world has nothing to bestow;/ From our own selves our joys must flow/ And that dear hut, - our home.

[Khushwant Singh]

Urgent Assistance needed to Save Miss. May Thu Kyaw

Urgent assistance needed to Save Ms. May Thu Kyaw

Dear friends,

Russa Road Young Buddhist Student Literacy Mission is giving health care services to the patients especially coming from Burma and Bangladesh. Our services include interpretation, co-ordination between patients and doctors, helping for completion of all formalities to get permission from Health Department, Government of West Bengal, in case of organ transplants with unrelated donors etc. For the last two years the Mission has been giving all these services. More than 60 patients, mostly with kidney failure diseases, from Burma got better treatment here at Apollo Gleneagles Hospitals, Kolkata, with our Health Help Services. Now all of them are leading their normal lives. Apollo Gleneagles Hospitals, Kolkata, is the only hospital, which has JCI certificate in eastern India.

Ms. May Thu Kyaw, aged 11, with kidney failure disease, arrived here at our Mission along with her parents on 20/07/09. Earlier she was treated at Child General Hospital in Yangon for 8 months, but the condition was deteriorating day by day. According to her parents if they were late to reach India for two weeks more, then their daughter may be no more alive, because all medical facilities are not available there. Immediately her arriving in India, we took her to Nephrologist, who advised to get her admitted in Hospital. Accordingly we got her admitted the next day on 21/07/09. After being stable in all sides, doctors tried to make neckline on her neck, through which only dialysis can be done safely. Unfortunately it was not successful, and then the doctors took an alternate option to do from the vein at thigh. After being successful this time, she was doing well and discharged from hospital, and waiting for completion of all formalities to be done. While preparing for renal transplant, which will take place after 3 days, she became senseless with high blood pressure. Got admitted to hospital again, she was kept in ICU for three days. Now doctors are trying again to put neckline on her neck. After neckline done successfully, she needs to kidney transplant, which will take place on 14th September, 2009. The potential donor is her mother, Daw Htay Htay Kyi. During these two times hospitalizations before actual kidney transplant done, all money, the parents have brought, has gone. Her father, Ko Ko Naing, is a bus driver by profession, having very low income. They came here getting helps from friend's circles. Huge amount of expenditures already incurred while eight months hospitalization in Yangon. Now their friend's circles also cannot support any more.

Now I would like to appeal to you to save her life. She is only 11 years old. Saving her life depends on your kind and generous donation. According to kidney package expenditure, she will need $ 10000/-. This Mission has sanctioned $ 1000/. The amount left with parents is $ 2500/-. So we are in urgent need $ 6500/- more. Kindly come forward to save her. All money transaction will be done through bank. Bank statement will be sent to each and every donor.

Kindly send your kind donation to :
