From Janna

"I have taught mind science -- Buddhist science supported by Western science, as a college course for ten semesters. On the first day of the semester, I handed out the book "16 Guidelines for Life: The Basics," asked everyone to read one guideline, write down a personal experience related to that guideline, and to share it the following week. At the beginning of the course I also shared that Robert (Bob) Thurman, renowned scholar of Tibetan Buddhism, says that Buddhism is 2/3 not religion and only 1/3 religion. Now Bob Thurman says he's trying to get His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama to agree that Buddhism is really 5/6 not religion and only 1/6 religion! His Holiness the Dalai Lama is a great proponent and supporter of science-based education for ethics, compassion and wisdom for any human being. I am delighted and grateful to be part of this wonderful visionary community sharing universal education for compassion and wisdom in a language and style that is suitable for our time.
