Then, for the next two years I plan to obtain my Masters in Education with teaching credentials in Mathematics and Business/Economics related subjects and commit myself to Teach for America to make a positive impact on Black and Latino High School students in my community South Central Los Angeles.

My preceptor, Hlaing Tet Sayadaw, presided over my ordination. You are under the supervision of the preceptor for five years in the Theravada tradition.

MZC: Would you expand upon how meditation influences the daily life of your students? What is your principal teaching on the practice of meditation? What problems with meditation do your students bring you? What are some of the benefits they find in practicing meditation?

I took all the anger consumed in my heart not to show them hatred and kill them. Instead, I took all that anger and made a promise to myself that I would one day become an influential individual who will change people's minds and hearts.

I benefited from his teaching of "not-knowing," i. A wonderful introduction to sitting. Suzuki Roshi would talk aboutbeing full of the wonder that reality and love require of us, keeping "our beginner's mind. MZC: With Suzuki Roshi in 1969.

People laugh at it sometimes saying "who would buy that", but to me it is very significant. WHEN YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE, YOU USE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TO MAXIMIZE ITS POTENTIAL. You may probably hear about it in Sabado Gigante and UNIVISION. I used a media program called "Ingles sin Barreras" to improve my English.

BN: I think the reason the early monks combined these verses with some of the suttas was that here in the Dhammapada we have the concise teaching of the Buddha. The Dhammapada, through the ages, has become the most popular book in Buddhism and not only in Theravada.

This person started talking to me, even though I did not understand a single word being said regardless, I was satisfied that my first attempt had been successful. After 6 hours of practicing in my mind I finally gathered the courage to say these simple words: "Hi my name is Jose". The next morning, I learned how to say "Good morning my mother, I love you" and I realized that I learned how to say it in less than five minutes. From the point, I built momentum.

Then you can practice loving-kindness. BN: Yes this is a stereotype about Theravada. Compassion starts with not harming others. When you talk about meditation, compassion, loving kindness, you don't discriminate. True religion should go beyond the group. We are friends with all of Buddhism and with everyone, but we need to make clear what Theravada is. Yes we are Theravada, but when we practice, when we live, we are like anyone. So we begin with sila, moral rectitude. Not you are Theravada. You have to include everybody. They say Theravada is egotistic and that we think only of ourselves.

The animals made friends with me: Tasha, a black dog with tan paws and mouth; a cat, white and brownish gold, named Sampatti; a brown, white-collared dog named Suvanno. I later encountered an inquisitive golden tan and white, dark-nosed donkey, Upekkha, as she was viewing a meditator, Juan, who, sitting on a front porch, was serenely composed. I spent some time silently walking around the property with its expansive green lawn. A very loving dog, Suvanno, gets around graciously without a left front leg. Before the first the interview, I was invited to the monastery a few hours early to do sitting and walking meditation.

During retreats they report they have difficulty keeping their posture during the entire period of one hour; sometimes they experience intense pain; they also report difficulty keeping the mind on the main object of meditation. But with practice, hey find that meditation brings peace of mind. I teach mindfulness meditation focusing on the breath as the main object. BN: Meditation helps my students to be more mindful of their everyday activities and to have less mental impurities.

The meditator can choose between concentrating on the in and out breaths in the nostrils or the movement up and down of the abdomen. If you observe only the object, just keeping your focus on that one object of attention, then it is samatha.

Monks do not want to come here. We've survived ten years here. I know many Burmese monks and they are not interested in coming to Mexico. What we lack here is the presence of more Buddhist monks.MZC: What more would you tell us about the history of Buddhism here in Mexico? Ejo Takata was all the way out there. The filmmaker, Alejandro Jodorowsky, in The Spiritual Journey of Alejandro Jodorowsky introduced many to his first and very impressive spiritual master, Zen Buddhist Ejo Takata. Jodorowsky's play, Zarathustra ran continuously for a full year and a half in the late 60's, with Ejo sitting in meditation on the stage for two hours. Ejo said: "By having me participate in your work, you have introduced many thousands of Mexicans to Zen meditation. " (The Spiritual Journey of Alejandro Jodorowsy, p.

The 54-year-old Italian, participating in his 17th Olympic opening and closing ceremony, was as good as his word.

I wanted to say this sentence to the person sitting next to me on the plane. That was four years ago. "Hi my name is____" and I filled out the blank space with "Jose". I was afraid of that person's reaction to my lack of English proficiency. I established a lot of negativity in my mind and mental barriers by saying to myself: What if this person ignores me? What if this person doesn't understand me? I decided to practice "Hi my name is Jose" over and over again; it may seem simple to you, but if you've tried learning a foreign language, you may appreciate the difficulty of beginnings. I remember the airplane flight from Honduras to the US - reading my first English sentence. " This was the first English sentence that I learned. But I felt insecure, not sure that I would speak clearly. Then, I said to myself: The solution to this is practice.

Dreaming is just the first step of achieving your goals. "No matter where you come from, it only matters where you are going. THE MOST DIFFICULT STEP IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

MZC: Well, as you, I support the activist monks in Burma and Tibet. It's their spiritual practice, just as real and valuable as being exclusively a teacher of the formal Dhamma. I do see it as their way of practicing the teaching to relieve suffering in the world.

BN: The core message was that one has to learn about the unwholesome mental states, in order to avoid their manifestation in our minds and to learn about the wholesome mental states so we can cultivate and develop them not only in our minds but also as bodily and verbal actions.

Then, I was able to attend a Los Angeles Southwest College, which is near home where I completed my coursework in Mathematics and Economics and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 4.

I checked out books to learn English as a Second language.

The purity of this teaching opened up an even wider outlook, to wit, the importance of the precepts, service, and generosity. It was then that I started to deepen my knowledge of Buddhism, specifically Theravada Buddhism. Bhikkhu Nandisena's life was also a good example that strongly influenced my life. Two years later, I met Venerable U Silananda and Venerable U Nandisena, when Bhikkhu Nandisena came to live in Mexico.

The reality, however, is very different, and while it is generally true to say that Macau tourism industry is aiming at the well heeled casino crowd, the city boasts a decent choice of cheap hotels that are better than what you can find in other large cities around the region for that money.

MZC: We hear the superficial categorization with Mahayana being more conducive to compassion, Theravada being more inward and Mahayana being more outgoing. Yet compassion, meditation and wisdom has been in the earliest scriptures you refer to.

For example, Rosario means rosary, Santos means saints, and Salvador means savior. The Roman Catholic has great influence over Spain. So, there are many names with Roman Catholic origin. In fact, Spain brought the religion to many countries.

I will continue my higher education with a joint degree MBA and JD. I want to become a world-class leader, humanitarian, financial philanthropist, world peacemaker, and social entrepreneur and achieve "My American Dream" which I define as the ability to pursue happiness by helping people who are in need. here in the US and around the world.Employers used to tell my mother: learn English or come back to where you came from. My mother did not speak English at all, but she was very determined to apply for employment. My mother was looking for job to pay an apartment and provide us our basic needs including education, food, clothing, and health. Four years ago, my mother, my two younger brothers, and I came to South Central Los Angeles in search of the American Dream.

BN: Different people come. I like the Mexican culture for several reasons. There is a wonderful tolerance and warmth here. We can bring the teachings of sila here, more awareness of how to lessen suffering in our interaction as human beings. Local people are curious to see what we do here, to see the Buddhist images. So all of us should follow ethics, which means we do not cause harm or suffering to other beings. We want to teach the importance of not stealing, not cheating each other, not falling into drunkenness and drug abuse, not doing physical violence. We like the people and they like us as well. We need to live together harmoniously. For these people, I emphasize sila, ethics, and the 5 precepts. The Catholic church also teaches these moral codes.

Sometimes during the day, I take a break from working, and focus on breathing mindfully. I wish and pray for those who are now happy to have their happiness increased. Who were your teachers? MZC: For the past 18 years or so I've been part of the community at the Rosemead Buddhist Monastery where Bhante Chao Chu (whom you met at the International Buddhist Conferences in Thailand and Vietnam) is the abbot. In the morning, besides "just sitting" I use a few moments to send some loving kindness to myself and to all of us, at times picturing or thinking about a particular person who may be difficult for me or about the soldiers in Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan, about children, my family and friends and the poor around the world. Sometimes I picture the young children on the streets here in Veracruz who are working and begging and some sleeping on cold streets at night. I try to meditate daily, but I don't always.

Poggi mir� alrededor, los nativos estaban riendo (�l aprender�a en el siguiente ano que ellos se re�an todo el tiempo, como el mono, todo el tiempo, movi�ndose, riendo "! " ellos lo gritaron hacia fuera constantemente, con lanzas en la mano, ri� el uno con el otro, no seguro de que se re�an ellos, solamente ri�ndose como almas perdidas, como idiotas; pintados como diablos, como �l estar�a en alg�n tiempo.

She makes the federal minimum wage in our community South Central Los Angeles. Mothers assure that their children achieve a better life. My mother instilled in me the value of education. She works very hard so that my two brothers and I can have the benefit of a good education. She finally found work as a factory worker. She used to tell me; Jose estudia para una mejor calida de vida. Jose study hard and learn English for better opportunities and be a good role model for your younger brothers. They are the foundation of most successful people. So that's exactly what I did in order to make my mother proud and set up a good example for my two younger brothers.

The Sintra is definitely a notch above the average cheap hotel in Macau, but the special discounts it offers on a regular basis make it affordable even for those budget-minded tourists who would otherwise opt for a simpler hotel.

Producers recreated the "birth of life" with a three-dimensional projection of micro-organisms that moved frenetically and divided among themselves. Microbes, represented by large kinetic sculptures, fluttered across the stage. Then a giant forest filled the center of the stadium. The next section was dedicated to the Amazon region, home to the world's largest rainforest.

In terms of location, Hotel Sintra sits on one of Macau's most central corners: A stone's throw from Hotel Lisboa and the other glitzy casinos, and a short stroll from Senado Square and the heritage sites around it.

Exc�ntrico, quiz�s fue �l, no es un pecado ser as�; valiente, de verdad fue �l, para quien abrigar�a tal sueno; entonces V�ctor dijo, estando de pie delante de los l�deres tribales, susurrando a Poggi, dijo en una voz baja, muy baja, con un pequeno p�jaro en sus manos [que �l sosten�a], "Usted debe matar este p�jaro delante de todos, no sea que, usted les d� el tiempo para comerle, �verdad?

The name can also tell the name of the parent like Roberto Son of Alvaro. For example, Roberto Rodriguez means Roberto son of Rodrigo, Roberto Alvarez means Roberto son of Alvaro, Roberto Mendez means Roberto son of Mendo, and Roberto Gonzalez means Roberto son of Gonzalo. However, the Spaniards developed a short version by adding ez, az, is, or oz at the end.Quiz�s el amor era una palabra fuerte aqu�: sus companeros.

where they can speak the language and follow their customs. The monks don't reach out. Silananda was interested in touching many people in the United States and around the world. They are invited by many of the Burmese families to chant and so on, so they are comfortable They stay isolated in Burmese communities in the U. My teacher was an exception. There are thousands of Burmese in Los Angeles. This is good for the Burmese in California, but I don't know how good this is for Buddhism at large.

But don't think this way. So the teachings are our teacher. The teachings, the Dhamma and the Vinaya will be the teacher. Although there is an increasing tendency in the Theravada tradition for monks to get involved in politics, I think the Buddha, as we know Him from the Pali Canon, wanted the monks to devote their lives to learning, practicing, teaching the Dhamma, and also to preserving His Teachings for future generations. This is like an injunction from the Buddha not to get unnecessarily involved in politics, as leaders, in my opinion. BN: The point with Buddhism, according to our tradition, before the Buddha passed away, moments before his last words, that we should work out our salvation diligently; Buddha told Ananda that after he passed away, you may think this is the word of the teacher who is gone. This is a lot of work! So in our tradition we do not have a leader.

El hombre sabe que quiz�s hay solo una posibilidad m�s para aparecer en el impenitente mundo de la juventud; as� �l debe afrontar la lucha o el vuelo. La mayor�a no abandona la casa, o la comodidad del campamento para viajar a las �reas desconocidas, o inseguras, salvo que ellos tengan un plan A � B en su lugar. Esto no es un asunto de escoger un tiempo cuando la psique de hombre (por lo general debido a la edad) va torcido, y durante este espacio en la vida de un hombre, o ll�melo a ello su cambio de vida, comparada con el cambio de estaciones, �l ve en ocasiones; esperanza de escaparse por el sendero de su juventud agotada.

I find the practice of loving-kindness meditation helps my students deal with anger and hatred, and the whole range of situations related with those unwholesome mental states. BN: Both tranquility meditation and insight meditation are part of what is called in Pali bhavana which can be translated as (mental) development. I am omitting the Pali diacritical marks. Regarding the absorptions, it is important to mention that there are two kinds of absorptions or contemplations: (1) the contemplation of the object (arammanupanijjhana), which corresponds to tranquility meditation, and (2) the contemplation of the characteristics (lakkhanupanijjhana), which corresponds to insight meditation. At the Dhamma Vihara we mostly teach and practice insight meditation though we complement it with the practice of loving-kindness meditation, which belongs to the category of tranquility meditation. Tranquility meditation is for the development of concentration, which is an important step for the development of wisdom.

We only eat two meals, breakfast at 6:00 am and lunch at 11 am. After lunch we take a rest until around 1 pm. There is sitting meditation at 2 pm. For the monks who beg for food, there is an understanding to take what is offered. Here in the temple we do sometimes eat seafood, but never meat. And we do not eat after noon. But the layperson has more freedom to be vegetarian.

You can then use what leads you, in your own personal way, to mindfulness. There are two conditions about meditation, which are important.

BN: The Mahasi Sayadaw's method consists of mindfulness meditation using the movements of the abdomen as the main object. First, that you follow the essential spirit of the scriptures and secondly, that you do what works for you.

�l alguna vez fue un psic�logo prominente, no tan prominente hoy en d�a, pero seguramente tristemente c�lebre para sus proezas pasadas.

Nelly, la esposa de Poggi (una mujer buena, y dif�cil de encontrar), y hasta Poggi es inconsciente que �l esta yendo a trav�s de esta etapa de su vida. Y As� esto es donde nuestra historia comienza.

"In Honduras and other Latin American countries, the Black populations in conjunction with indigenous people are part of the lowest economic and social strata. For many centuries, Black people have added their original contributions to their respective societies that influence on all facets of life in Latin America. Historically, Blacks in Latin America are the most socio-economically disadvantaged since the time slaves were shipped during the time of conquest of the Americas. In the following four centuries, thousands of immigrants from Africa were brought to the New World as slaves. Overall in Latin American, Whites and lighter-skinned individuals enjoy higher social status than their Blacks and danker-skinned counterparts, who are subjected to de facto racial prejudice and discrimination (in other words a form of discrimination based on beliefs and customs) Today, their descendants form significant groups in several Latin Americans countries, and they are the dominant element in many of the Caribbean nations. The Latin American regions were the first areas of the Americas to be populated by Blacks. S, Latin American societies are also racialized, even if they have not developed a system of de jure discrimination (in other words discrimination based on law) such as Jim Crow up until the second half of the 20th century.

BN: Well, I began to think when I read that article, that if the Dalai Lama would just be a spiritual leader to the people of Tibet, perhaps a lay person would be more effective in protesting human rights violations. The monk is very limited. I admit I don't know so much about this. A layperson might have more latitude to solve human rights problems.

The energy and tension of the artists portrayed disputes throughout Brazil and the world that are yet to be resolved. In a warning about the danger of intolerance, a battle broke out between the two groups that convulsed the stadium. The stage was then swamped by Maracutu and Bate Bola dancers.

Macau's recent economic renaissance has resulted in the building of more than a few swanky hotels and casinos, and the city is increasingly seen as an expensive place where budget travelers can't find a cheap hotel to suit their budget.

Standing at the top end of the range of low-cost hotels, this lately renovated property is possibly the most popular among Macau's cheap hotels, and whilst it may be just a bit too expensive for backpackers, it makes a very good choice for budget-minded tourists who are in search of a decent accommodation at a fair price (Especially if you are going to spend more time exploring the city then hanging around the hotel.

Nelly, Poggi's wife (a good woman, and hard to find), and even Poggi is unaware he is going through this stage of life. And so this is where our story begins. Who wants to admit it even if you know it, it is a launching pad for escapism, to live in the forbidden, the imaginary world; thus, in Lima they live a happy life, or as happy as they can make it. He once was a prominent psychologist, not so prominent nowadays, but surely infamous for his past exploits.Cotai is a 100% manmade area, which occupies the strait that once separated the Island of Taipa from the Island of Coloane.

Portuguese style BBQs (both meat and seafood) are Fernando's main draw, and so is the freshly baked Portuguese bread, but frankly speaking, everything on the menu is good! Next to the restaurant, there is a nice outdoor bar where you can have a drink before or after dinner.

Nestled on Coloane Island's Hac sa Beach, one of Macau's greenest and most peaceful corners, Fernando features a rustic-homey ambience that contributes a lot to the lovely dining experience, with simple bamboo furniture and an exquisite alfresco dining area, covered with shrubs.

We think that quitting is losing. We think that because we started a specific road with a set goal we will look as losers if we find that that was not our mountain and we choose to return. The second lesson and heresy of today is that if at any moment we have the experience of not being satisfied it is precisely because we have not quit enough. We think that returning from a mountain that is not ours, that is not gratifying and that is taking life away from us is a sign of losing. We think that returning is failing.

We speak about meritorious deeds; it is a practical book about how to practice a life in the spirit of service. Also we talk about the laws of karma, because we need to have the right understanding about the law of cause and effect.

I have friends that got to the top of their professions, the same they choose from the beginning of their careers, that are tied to their jobs for the level of income they receive and the life style that they feel they must maintain, but that have lost the spark from their eyes and the depth of their smiles. They did not quit enough. They are fading and don't even know any more what passions them, they are too tied to their own success and that is what makes them so unhappy and unfulfilled.

BLACKS IN LATIN AMERICAN ARE SO MARGINALIZED THAT PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT WE EVEN EXIST. has a great influence on the financial success and independence of Afro-Hondurans from their Honduran government, which has denied them economic freedom and individual rights because of the political corruption of the elites. According to the United Nations and World Bank Institute, Honduras is one of the poorest countries in the world in terms of Gross Domestic Product per capita and average living standards.

Macau, China's leading gambling and gaming destination, is famous for its swanky casino-resorts, where high-heeled guests pour thousands of dollars on the Baccarat tables, but surprisingly enough, this characterful city also has a few decent hostels, where backpackers can lay their heads comfortably, without having to break their savings.

What's more, the hostel's management is planning to renovate the old establishment, which means that pretty soon the shabby, old rooms will give way to something more reasonable, and air-conditioned. Nestled within a colonial Portuguese house along historic Rua da Felicidade, this characterful guesthouse is within a short stroll to some of Macau's top attractions and sightseeing spots, as well as to numerous restaurants and authentic eateries.

Cobbled streets of downtown San Juan with its fruit colored buildings were a welcome sight from any stereotypical American city. Until rain decided to play spoilsport, we spent the evening strolling around the various Spanish fortifications in the mainland. Shockingly, fierce looking mottled-green chameleon-like reptiles (also iguanas) were everywhere - stalking each other on the lawns of the El Morro fort, crossing busy streets, atop run-down structures of the fort! I liked the location of where we stayed - da house. I could not stop myself from getting surprised every time something moved among the grass. We chose the place because it could be a good starting point for our walking tour of the city. Rooms were bit too small for the price but we were there only for one night so that didn't bother us too much.

My mother cried, but she continued looking for job with determination to take care of her three children. And the manager said to her: Felicidades Xiomara usted tiene su trabajo como secretaria en nuestra oficina. My mother was very excited and she went straight to the office. Congratulations Xiomara you have been hired to work in our office. My mother replied: yo soy Xiomara y estoy aqui para trabajar. In less than one week, she got a call. The manager said: Excuse me how may I help you? Well, we will give you a call later this week. Come by later today to present your documents to start working for us. It was evident that they did not hire her because she was Black. Then, she started looking for job for Spanish speakers. They never called her again.

Two main buildings with a meditation hall, a library and study room, guest rooms, and a fully equipped kitchen are situated on 22 acres of natural beauty in the mist forest of Jilotepec. Fog was crawling over the trees; spindly yellowish green cacti were peeking up through deep green grass.

In some cases, that something is money, in others, being loved by someone else, for some others could be fame and personal and professional prestige. Whatever the case might be, the fact is that the road that the person takes is perceived as an opportunity, a mountain that will take effort to climb but in which there is a top with the promise of fulfillment and happiness. It is a similar story in every case, someone starts a job, project, relationship or business with the illusion to find in that road something that represents his or her fulfillment and happiness.The hilly environment of Jilotepec, Veracruz seemed also to be making friends with me. I walked up to the edges of the woods, some going uphill. This mind is both inside and outside--neither inside nor outside. During my afternoon "Day of Recollection," I did two hours of walking meditation. I recalled Robert Aitken's description of sitting meditation: "Sinking into one's bones and sinews and facing the bare emptiness of the mind. Oaks, birds and animalitos, delicate rosy wild flowers, icons of a Golden Buddha shining in a brilliance of peace, an artistically done but somewhat claustrophobic meditation room where I sat cross-legged for 45 minutes, just sitting, being aware of whatever was arising.

" Dijo Poggi (casi listo para correr ahora, correr �D�nde? -en esta oscuridad profunda de la selva era una pregunta ret�rica tra�da delante de �l mismo; esto desde luego ser�a la pregunta sin contestar; pregunta de aclaraci�n).

If you wind up your day at the Venetian, simply take one of their free shuttles to Taipa Island's Temporary Ferry Terminal where you can board the CotaiJet, but if you are around Macau Town (or the tower) traveling via Macau Ferry Terminal is likely to make more sense.

The Theravada tradition has kept this oldest living teaching of Buddhism. People should investigate deeply into these scriptures. They are so important to us.

Occupying a neo-classical 1870s building that once housed a club for colonial army officers, right next to the legendary Lisboa, Clube Militar features an uber-elegant decor, with polished wood floor and crisp-white tablecloths. For a sumptuous and atmospheric dinner that revives the charm of colonial Macau, very few restaurants can compete with Clube Militar. Portuguese classics dominate the menu and during lunch they serve a buffet, so you can try different things.

BN: I make the distinction between "the condition" and the direct breaking of the precepts. But just buying meat, which is already in a supermarket, citate celebre is not a direct breaking of the precept; however, you are in the condition for another breaking the precept. So in the Theravada tradition, you only break the precept when you directly kill another being or order another to kill for you. That is the difference.

Two indigenous groups, interpreted by Parintins Festival dancers, emerged from the converged shadow of yellow butterflies. The groups recreated patterns of their art, performing their native dances while holding elastic bands that formed giant huts, known as ocas.

Actually there is no "self" that you are going to find within yourself. You need to see there is no one. We have to discover and experience for ourselves. You don't even need to get rid of your ego, because there is no one there to get rid of. The thing about the non-self is that it is like a fact, which we need to discover for ourselves. BN: The Buddha taught a Middle Way that rejects both of these extremes.

With its great location on nostalgic Rua da Felicidade, merely a short walk to attractions like Senado Square, St. Augustine's Church and other historical sites, the popular Ko Wah looks like an inbreed between a decent cheap hotel and an upgraded guesthouse, and although it is known mainly as a backpackers' oriented accommodation, it offers some very nice rooms that are even better than what you can get in most of Macau's cheap hotels.

That didn't interfere with any of our sightseeing in San Juan but did when we decided to eat dinner. ), But was sin carne (no meat). All we could get without meat was an un-appetizing glob of marinara and cheese on a piece of soggy bread! By the next day, however, I took fancy to a 'mofongo' from the Caribbean cuisine and survived on it for the rest of stay. Every restaurant used their handed-down family recipe to prepare this dish, but the one that most suited my palate was the 'plaintain dumplings served in garlicky lentil gravy' version. In fact, it was just a snapshot of what to expect for the rest of the week. Not surprisingly, the Spanish word I used most often during the trip was not hola (hello), not gracias (thank you), not habla English?

Outside Macau Ferry Terminal, there is a bus stop from which you can travel to your first destination: Senado Square (Largo do Senado) - The heart of Macau town and a convenient starting point to the UNESCO's declared Macau World Heritage Trail.

We received permission to translate this book into Spanish. BN: There's a book written by Thera Ashin Janakabhivamsa (RIP, 1977) called Abidharma in Daily Life.

His body is changing, he wants to be young again (and he thinks he can), and like the young characters he watches on TV, the sports in particular: smooth bodies, muscles popping out: he can do it, just once more, this is the time, the one and only chance, if he is going to take it, it must be now or never. The man knows there is perhaps only one more chance to appear in the unrepentant world of youth; thus he must face fight or flight.

Here in Mexico, people may drink moderately, but also some drink a great deal. This is according to our tradition. Some may interpret this differently, but in our Theravada way, we take this to be complete abstinence from any intoxicant.

The rates here are certainly higher than in most of the hostels in Macau, but if you don't mind spending a few more dollars for a proper guestroom, with air-condition, clean bathroom and some other facilities, Ko Wah is certainly an option worth thinking about.
