According to the Christian synoptic gospels, on the day Jesus was crucified, darkness covered the land for 3 hours.. Although ancient and medieval writers treated the darkness as a miracle, other explanations have been proposed, from literary invention to a natural phenomenon, such as a solar or lunar eclipse. Some writers, interpreting it as an eclipse, have sought to use it as a way of establishing the date of Jesus' crucifixion..
According to the Synoptic Gospels, a period of darkness over all the land (or 'the whole world') occurred during Jesus' crucifixion, which took place on the first day of Passover. The crucifixion narrative of the Gospel of John does not mention this. The Synoptic Gospels describe darkness beginning around noon ("the 6th hour") and continued until 3 o'clock ("the 9th hour")...

In Hindu mythology, Mahishasura was an asura are non-suras, a different group of power-seeking deities besides the suras, sometimes considered naturalists, or nature-beings, in constant battle with the Devas (देव ) is the Sanskrit word for deity, its related feminine term is devi..Devas are also the maintainers of the realms as ordained by the Trimurti.. They are often warring with their equally powerful counterparts, the Asuras.. The Trimūrti is a concept in Hinduism in which the cosmic functions of creation, maintenance, and destruction are personified by the forms of Brahma the creator, Vishnu the maintainer or preserver and Shiva the destroyer or transformer.. These 3 gods have been called the Hindu triad or the Great Trinity, often addressed as "Brahma-Vishnu-Maheshwara"...

Bodhicitta can be developed by following either of 2 methods: (1) the realization of the 6 causes or (2) the exchanging of self for others. In the first method the cultivation of 6 specific causal meditations leads to the desired effect: the development of bodhicitta.. This tradition was originally taught by Shakyamuni Buddha and subsequently passed in an unbroken lineage from Maitreya and Asanga to such masters as Serlingpa and Atisha.. The second method-exchanging self for others-was designed specifically for those of sharp intelligence. It was also taught by Shakyamuni Buddha and passed through Manjushri in an unbroken lineage of Indian masters to Shantideva himself. Both lineages have survived to the present day and are currently held by accomplished lamas, or teachers, of the 4 Tibetan traditions of mahayana Buddhism.. The development of bodhicitta by means of meditating on the 6 causes.. This method flourished widely throughout India and Tibet and by studying it we shall see that bodhicitta is not something that can be attained instantly, but rather is the result of a gradual training and development of the mind...
The 6 causes are as follows:
a. Recognition of all sentient beings as one's mother
b. Remembering the kindness of all mother sentient beings
c. Repaying this kindness
d. The development of affectionate love
e. The development of great compassion
f. The cultivation of the superior intention ... The woman we presently recognize as our mother is such by virtue of our having been born into the world from her womb. Yet this is not the first and only time we have taken birth. The continuity of our consciousness stretches back over infinite time and the births we have taken have been countless.. As we have been born countless times it follows we have had countless mothers. Thus there is not a single being we meet who, over the incalculable expanse of beginningless time, has failed to be our mother...
If all beings have been our mother then how are we to recollect their kindnes - Our present mother carried us in her womb for 9 months. Whether sitting, walking, eating or even sleeping she was ever mindful of our presence. Her only thought was of our welfare and she regarded us a precious gem.. Even though our birth may have caused her intense pain she still thought solely of our welfare and happiness..
Wherever she went she took us with her. She washed and bathed us and cleaned the dirt from our nose. While playing with us she would sing sweet sounds and repeat our name with special tenderness. She protected us continually from the dangers of fire and accident; in fact, if it were not for her constant care we would not be alive now. All that we have and enjoy is through the kindness of our mother. She rejoiced in our happiness and shared in our sorrow. Worrying about our slightest discomfort, she would have willingly surrendered even her own life in order that we might live. She taught us how to walk and talk, read and write, and underwent many hardships in order to give us a good education and the very best of whatever she possessed...

The Yadavas were an ancient Indian people who believed themselves to be descended from Yadu, a mythical king. Yadu is 1 of the 5 Indo-Aryan tribes (panchajana, panchakrishtya or panchamanusha) mentioned in the Rig Veda..The generations of Yadu had an unprecedented growth and got divided into 2 branches..The Jadubansi community, which is one of many associated with the Ahirs, claim descent from the Yadava, with whom Krishna has been associated. Other Ahirs claims other descent...According to a modern historian, Romila Thapar, the kinship system of the Yadavas shows traces of matrilineal structure, which is found from the mention of their cross-cousin marriages...Besides chiefdoms and jagirs, the Yadavas had peethams (seats) granted to them by virtue of their religious powers...
In Hindu mythology, the Lunar Dynasty (Somavansha, Chandravansha) also known as Ailas is 1 of the 3 principal houses of the Kshatriya varna, or warrior–ruling caste... This legendary dynasty was descended from the moon (Soma or Chandra), while the other principal houses, the Solar Dynasty (Suryavanshi) claims descent from the sun (surya) and the Agnivanshi claim to have been born to the fire-god Agni, with the term vansh referring to descent.. Within this family tree sub-branches such as Bharatvansha, Yaduvansha, Puruvansha, Kuruvansha, Panduvansha and others emerged, each named after a prominent progenitor of the line.. Throughout history, various South Asian communities have claimed descent from Chandra through these lineages..
The legendary capital of the Lunar Dynasty was Pratisthana, said to be founded by Ila is an androgyne in Hindu mythology, known for his/her sex changes. As a man, he is known as Ila (Sanskrit: इल) or Sudyumna and as a woman, is called Ilā (Sanskrit: इला). Ilā is considered the chief progenitor of the Lunar Dynasty of Indian kings - also known as the Ailas ("descendants of Ilā")...Several Indian castes such as the Sainis of Punjab and contiguous regions, the Sainis and the Seuna Yadavs of Devagiri claim descent from the Hindu God Krishna...

It is often claimed that in Japanese, "rambo" means "violence". This is not quite correct. The adjective "ranbou" or "rambô" (depending on how you choose to romanize it) has a meaning closer to "rowdy", although it can quite legitimately be translated as "violent"...

A- mastaba (meaning "house for eternity" or "eternal house"), is a type of ancient Egyptian tomb in the form of a flat-roofed, rectangular structure with outward sloping sides that marked the burial site of many eminent Egyptians of Egypt's ancient period. Mastabas were constructed out of Mud-bricks (from the Nile River) or stone. In the Old Kingdom, kings began to be buried in pyramids instead of mastabas, although non-royal use of mastabas continued for more than A- 1,000 years...
The intermediate state can last from a moment to 7 days, depending on whether or not a suitable birthplace is found.. If one is not found the being undergoes a "small death", experiencing the 8 signs of death..He/she then again experiences the 8 signs of the reverse process and is reborn in a 2nd intermediate state.. This can happen for a total of 7 births in the intermediate state (making a total of 49 days) during which a place of rebirth must be found...This rebirth is propelled by karma and is uncontrolled. In effect the karma of the intermediate state being matches that of its future parents. The intermediate state being has the illusory appearance of its future parents copulating... It is drawn to this place by the force of attraction to its parent of the opposite sex, and it is this desire that causes the consciousness of the intermediate state being to enter the fertilized ovum. This happens at or near the time of conception and the new life has begun...
The Principle of Vibration manifests in the manifestation of a state of vibration in everything in the Manifested Cosmos. It is voiced by the old occult axiom: "Everything vibrates." The occultists teach that each and every mental or emotional state has its own distinctive rate of vibration, and that the secret of "emotional contagion" is due to the fact that similar vibrators are set up in the emotional nature of persons subjected to the influence of strong emotion in another person. All manifestations of thought, emotion, will, desire, or feeling, or any other mental state, are accompanied and caused by vibrations of a certain high rate, and that these vibrations tend to influence others in their field of "induction," and tend to set up in the others similar vibrations...

"Earth" refers to the hard factors of the body such as bone, and the dissolution of the wind associated with it means that that wind is no longer capable of serving as a mount or basis for consciousness.. As a consequence of its dissolution, the capacity of the wind associated with "water" (the fluid factors of the body) to act as a mount for consciousness becomes more manifest. The ceasing of this capacity in one element and its greater manifestation in another is called "dissolution" - it is not, therefore, a case of gross earth dissolving into water..Simultaneously with the dissolution of the earth element, 4 other factors dissolve ,accompanied by external signs and an internal sign... sanctumzone.co.uk/forum/Recommended-Read...tml?start=240#130346Upon the inception of the 5th cycle the mind begins to dissolve, in the sense that coarser types cease and subtler minds become manifest. First, conceptuality ceases, dissolving into a mind of white appearance. This subtler mind, to which only a vacuity filled by white light appears, is free from coarse conceptuality. It, in turn, dissolves into a heightened mind of red appearance, which then dissolves into a mind of black appearance. At this point all that appears is a vacuity filled by blackness, during which the person eventually becomes unconscious. In time this is cleared away, leaving a totally clear emptiness (the mind of clear light) free from the white, red and black appearances..This is the final vision of Death...sanctumzone.co.uk/forum/Solar-System--Sp...tml?start=120#134540

A chuppah (Hebrew: חוּפָּה "canopy" or "covering"), is a canopy under which a Jewish couple stand during their wedding ceremony. It consists of a cloth or sheet, sometimes a tallit, stretched or supported over four poles, or sometimes manually held up by attendants to the ceremony. A chuppah symbolizes the home that the couple will build together. While a Jewish marriage is still considered valid in the absence of a chuppah, a chuppah is still considered a basic requirement for a Jewish wedding..In a more general sense, chupah refers to the method by which nesuin, the second stage of a Jewish marriage, is accomplished. According to some opinions, it is accomplished by the couple standing under the canopy; however, there are other views...

Jetsun Milarepa (Tibetan: རྗེ་བཙུན་མི་ལ་རས་པ, Wylie: Rje-btsun Mi-la-ras-pa), (c. 1052 – c. 1135 CE) is generally considered one of Tibet's most famous yogis and poets. He was a student of Marpa Lotsawa, and a major figure in the history of the Kagyu (Bka'-brgyud) school of Tibetan Buddhism..Born in the village of Kya Ngatsa – also known as Tsa – in Gungthang province of western Tibet to a prosperous family he was named Mila Thöpaga (Thos-pa-dga'), which means "A joy to hear." His family name, Josay indicates noble descent, a sept of the Khyungpo or eagle clan..
When his father died, Milarepa's uncle and aunt took all of the family's wealth. At his mother's request, Milarepa left home and studied sorcery. While his aunt and uncle were having a party to celebrate the impending marriage of their son, he took his revenge by summoning a giant hail storm to demolish their house, killing 35 people, although the uncle and aunt are supposed to have survived. The villagers were angry and set off to look for Milarepa, but his mother got word to him, and he sent a hailstorm to destroy their crops..According to the book Magic and Mystery in Tibet by French explorer Alexandra David-Néel, Milarepa boasted of having "crossed in a few days, a distance which, before his training in black magic, had taken him more than a month.. He ascribes his gift to the clever control of 'internal air'." David-Néel comments "that at the house of the lama who taught him black magic there lived a trapa who was fleeter than a horse" using the same skill...
Knowing that his revenge was wrong, Milarepa (Then known by his boyhood name 'Fortuitous') set out to find a lama and was led to Marpa the Translator. Marpa proved a hard taskmaster. Before Marpa would teach Milarepa he had him build and then demolish 3 towers in turn. Milarepa was asked to build 1 final multi-story tower by Marpa at Lhodrag: this 11th century tower still stands.. When Marpa still refused to teach Milarepa, he went to Marpa's wife, who took pity on him. She forged a letter of introduction to another teacher, Lama Ngogdun Chudor, under whose tutelage he practiced meditation.. However when he was making no progress, he confessed the forgery and Ngogdun Chudor said that it was vain to hope for spiritual growth without the guru Marpa's approval..Milarepa returned to Marpa, and was finally shown the spiritual teachings.. Milarepa then left on his own, and after protracted diligence for 12 years he attained the state of Vajradhara (complete enlightenment). He then became known as Milarepa. 'Mila' is Tibetan for; 'great man', and 'repa' means; 'cotton clad one'...
An unnamed narrator, while gazing upon his pet cat, begins to reminisce about a law in the town of Ulthar that forbids the killing of cats and relates the story of how this law came to be. The tale begins with the introduction of an old cotter and his wife who delight in trapping and violently killing any cats who venture onto their property. The people of the town are too afraid of the couple to speak against these acts, so they instead focus their efforts on keeping their felines from approaching the cotter's house. One night a caravan of travelers from a distant land arrives and passes through the village. They bring with them a child by the name of Menes who, having lost his family to a plague, has only a small, black kitten to keep him company.. After being unable to find his kitten on the 3rd day of his stay, Menes hears the stories of the old cotter and his wife and decides to take action..Menes spends time meditating prior to unleashing a prayer that affects the shapes and movements of the clouds in the sky...

SOUTH of Savatthi is a great river, on the banks of which lay a hamlet of 500 houses. Thinking of the salvation of the people, the World-honoured One resolved to go to the village and preach the doctrine. Having come to the riverside he sat down beneath a tree, and the villagers seeing the glory of his appearance approached him with reverence; but when he began to preach, they believed him not..
When the world-honoured Buddha had left Savatthi Sariputta felt a desire to see the Lord and to hear him preach. Coming to the river where the water was deep and the current strong, he said to himself: "This stream shall not prevent me. I shall go and see the Blessed One, and he stepped upon the water which was as firm under his feet as a slab of granite. When he arrived at a place in the middle of the stream where the waves were high, Sariputta's heart gave way, and he began to sink. But rousing his faith and renewing his mental effort, he proceeded as before and reached the other bank..
The people of the village were astonished to see Sariputta, and they asked how he could cross the stream where there was neither a bridge nor a ferry. Sariputta replied: "I lived in ignorance until I heard the voice of the Buddha. As I was anxious to hear the doctrine of salvation, I crossed the river and I walked over its troubled waters because I had faith. Faith. nothing else, enabled me to do so"......

Lhasa is the administrative capital of Tibet. It is the second most populous city on the Tibetan Plateau, after Xining, and at an altitude of 3,490 metres (11,450 ft), Lhasa is one of the highest cities in the world.. The city contains many culturally significant Tibetan Buddhist sites such as the Potala Palace, Jokhang temple and Norbulingka palaces, many O-f which are located in Chengguan District, the city seat...
Lhasa literally means "place of the gods". Ancient Tibetan documents and inscriptions demonstrate that the place was called Rasa, which either meant "goats' place", or, as a contraction of rawe sa, a "place surrounded by a wall," or 'enclosure', suggesting that the site was originally a hunting preserve within the royal residence on Marpori Hill.. Lhasa is first recorded as the name, referring to the area's temple of Jowo, in a treaty drawn up between China and Tibet in 822 C.E.."merry blue waves", flows through the snow-covered peaks and gullies of the Nyainqêntanglha mountains, Extending 315 km (196 mi), and emptying into the Yarlung Zangbo River at Qüxü, forms an area of great scenic beauty...

The Potrang Marpo (Red Palace) was added between 1690 and 1694.The name Potala is derived from Mount Potalaka, the mythical abode of the Dalai Lama's divine prototype, the Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara..The Jokhang Temple was also greatly expanded around this time. Although some wooden carvings and lintels of the Jokhang Temple date to the 7th century, the oldest of Lhasa's extant buildings, such as within the Potala Palace, the Jokhang and some of the Monasteries and properties in the Old Quarter date to this 2nd flowering in Lhasa's history...

Ngawang Sangdrol was just 13 when she was first imprisoned by China in Tibet. She was so small her prison guards found it easy to pick her up by the legs and drop her, head first, on to the stone floor of her cell.
They beat her with iron rods, placed electric shock batons in her mouth and left her standing in the baking heat until she collapsed of exhaustion. They called her the "ballerina", because when the pain became too much for her, she would stand on the tips of her toes like a dancer. "The more we cried out in pain," she said, "the more they laughed."
"They would put a rope around your neck, tie both your hands and hang you down from the ceiling. They used iron bars to beat you systematically," she says. "And once you are imprisoned there is no difference between a child and an adult and an elderly person, or between a man and a woman. All punishments and torture methods are equal for everyone."
Ngawang Sangrol, now 28, is a Tibetan nun who spent more than a decade in prison. Released shortly before a visit by the then Chinese President Jiang Zemin to George Bush's Texan ranch, she was made to sign papers promising she would never speak of her experiences in the notorious Drapchi prison...

Rosewall was born in Sydney into a family that played tennis and owned tennis courts. A natural left-hander, he was taught by his father to play right-handed.. Perhaps as a result of this unorthodox training (or in spite of it), he developed a powerful and effective backhand but never had anything more than an accurate but relatively soft serve.. He was 1.70 m tall (5 ft 7 in) and weighed 67 kg (145 pounds) and was ironically nicknamed "Muscles" by his fellow-players because of his lack of them..Promoter and former tennis great Jack Kramer tried unsuccessfully to sign the "Whiz Kids" (Lew Hoad and Rosewall) to professional contracts in late 1955.. It is composed of the Greek elements philein (to love) and hippos (horse), and is derived from the name of Alexander the Great's father, the ancient Greek king, Philip II of Macedon (aka Philippos, Filippos, and Pilipos), who was an avid horse lover.. The name is commonly shortened to the nicknames Pippa, Pippy, and Pip..She became a nun in the Convent of Odivelas where she died in 1497...
