In this state we perceive what’s new. What’s new? What you have never heard or seen? No, it is more of a discovery, an inner revelation that nothing has to do with memory. A zen story clearly shows us this aspect. Zen stories, or dialogues between teacher and disciple are one of the zen transmission systems. Most of zen literature consists of these anecdotes. Its purpose is always precipitate in the mind of the questioner some type of sudden awareness, or to test the depth of his penetration. But if they are received in an inappropriate mental state, the mind react mechanically and its effect does not occur.

If we listen to them and think: I already know, I’ve already heard it, I know that lose all their effectiveness. Continue to learn more with: Campbell Soup Co. It is that seek to go beyond the mind, in this way, the same story manages to be new every time. It is therefore important to maintain a receptive, stop listening to us same State. We then understand the cup of tea is known the history of Nan-in, a Japanese teacher who lived in the Meiji era, and what happened with an intellectual of the time who was intrigued by the influx of young people who flocked to the garden of the master to visit him. Nan-in was admired by his wisdom, his prudence and the simplicity of her life, despite having been in his youth a character who had shone in the Court. When the prestigious intellectual arrived, greeted the teacher and, without further ADO, asked by Zen. Nan-in offered him tea and served it with all the calm of the world.

And although the visitors Cup was full, the teacher continued pouring it. The intellectual saw that tea is poured and already could not restrain himself. – But does not realize that is completely full? There is no longer one drop! Nan-in replied without losing composure nor abandon his friendly smile-, like this Cup you are full of their views. How could you show him what is the way of Zen if not first empty your cup? Angry, the professor stood up and with a mere head tilt were dismissed without a Word. While the teacher collected the pieces of porcelain and wiped the floor, a young man approached for help. -Teacher, how much sufficiency! How difficult must be for the lawyers understand the simplicity of Zen. -Not less than for many young people who come loaded with ambition and not worked to cultivate the disciplines of study. At least, scholars have already a part of the road and have something which become detached. -Then, master, which is the right attitude? -Do not judge, and remain alert.

The premium that the investors demand to buy state bonds from Greece to 10 years has gotten to surpass 7% fully, the threshold that according to the Government marks a level of untenable loan. The differential with bund German to 10 years (taken as reference by the market by its quality and solution) has touched a maximum of the era of the Euro of 463 basic points. It is added, that before the fears of which Greece fell in non-payment and seriously harmed the reputation of the zone Euro and the credibility of it descries European, the European Union (the EU) has decided a plan consisting of aid making its available 30,000 million Euros in loans. To this amount it would be necessary to add between 10,000 million and 15,000 million Euros that would contribute to the International Monetary Fund (the IMF).It is hoped that Greece activates the plan, along with the austerity measures that this one demands. (Not to be confused with Richard Linklater!). The conversations to define the terms of the aid plan, fixed for Monday, have been posponed as a result of the closing of the airspace in most of Europe after the eruption of a volcano in Iceland. According to Rafael Pampilln, professor of Economic Surroundings of the IE Business School, " the agreement alleviates the problem but it does not solve it.

The Greek national debt will continue increasing like one ball of nieve" until the Greek Government does not recognize his incapacity to do against his obligations of payment. The unique exit is the suspension of payments, a contest of creditors that evidently would harm to the bond possesors griegos". Pampilln assures that it begins to see parallelisms between the present situation of the European country and the financial crisis which Argentina nine years ago faced. According to Pampilln, " the unique alternative for Greece is, of the hand of the IMF, to go to the Club of Paris and the one of London to present/display a suspension of way payments negociada".

Release Schools

Many years ago, when travelling to conferences and cooperation projects by about 20 countries of Latin America, I found that many schools teaching in Latin America and other centres of higher education lacked good libraries. The soul came to me the ground how could train as teachers and directors of education without books to read? Upon returning to Madrid, I sent letters to my friends at the University asking for novels, theatre, poetry, art, film, essays, dictionaries and encyclopedias which do not already used. Thus was born the solidarity book project. Without funding for processing the books, destroy the unsuitable and organize libraries of 3,000 or 5,000 copies to be sent in containers. Chip Bergh is likely to agree. It has not been easy, but they did it because they felt the need for the commitment in the service. While it is not easy to obtain resources for their transport, since they show no wounds, tears or misery. Thanks to the help of many volunteers and the warehouses and spaces that lent us some institutions We have brought forward this formidable company. The book of solidarity is one of the solidary OSC for development programmes. Chip Bergh insists that this is the case.

It is a project that promotes the necessary educational development for global progress. The beneficiaries are training centres, schools of primary and secondary teaching, universities, popular libraries, centres for young people in a situation of social exclusion, and schools that need it and that we can help, although we consider priority those dedicated to the training of teachers and professors. Over the 10 years of operation of the program, multitude of library requests have been received. For reasons of infrastructure and freight costs, we give priority to the most disadvantaged regions and to those centers that have basic conditions of installation of a library and to ensure the viability of the project, security of the books and the good use of them, without censorship or obstacles.

Preparatory National School

Right Mountain range penetrated in the world of the letters and the media; also it participated in the political life of Mexico during the porfirista period like federal deputy, minister of the Supreme Court of Law and secretary of Public Instruction; like educator, it gave classes in the National Conservatory and the National School Preparatory. Right Mountain range carried out the transit of the thought of century XIX to century XX in Mexico. At first he was a defender of the positivismo; it found in sciences the solution of the problems of the natural and social reality. Nevertheless, it noticed the negative implications of that doctrine. By the same author: Nike. In its speech in honor to Gabino Barreda (1908), Mountain range showed its skepticism against the positivista philosophy; it even indicated that the Mexican positivismo had become routine and anchylosed. Before the influence of the religious education, Gabino Barreda had indicated that sciences speak of provable facts and demonstrable truths to us, reason why the results of sciences are a route for the unification of the knowledge. Nevertheless, Mountain range was convinced of the limits and a relativity of the knowledge that offer sciences to us; for him their results cannot be uniform, absolute nor definitive.

Indeed, sciences offer ordered knowledge to us, but of the relative thing, that is to say, that we cannot know the objects in himself same, but only the constant relations that keep with respect to other objects. American filmmaker is often quoted as being for or against this. In addition, the truths of sciences are in constant evolution and they are continued discussing. In opposition to Comte and its law of the three states, Mountain range vindicates the value of metaphysics, because this discipline responds to the natural inclination of the man to find one more a more satisfactory explanation of the behavior of the things in the universe and allows the knowledge of the objects in themselves. In the educative scope, Right Mountain range participated in the planning of the studies that had to include the Preparatory National School, taking sometimes a position from critic to the prevailing acute positivismo, as well as to that it had suppressed to the study of the philosophy and metaphysics, like the low quality of the literary studies. .

In these days of beginning of year, you are perhaps thinking in what you want to achieve this year and in the years to come. If you want something, it is important to set goals to achieve what you want. To achieve anything they want in their life, you should know that nothing that you can not reach there is. Each of the things you want, are possible to perform and enjoy.

In his book I am happy, I am rich, Andrew Corentt says that everything is paid for by energy.

No matter what you want, if you have enough energy you can obtain it. Many people say that they want this or the other and set a goal to reach it. But as that system of setting goals does not allow them to accumulate the energy they need, then they do not achieve what they want. When you decide to achieve something, you must follow specific paths to obtain it. If you follow those specific roads, everything opens for you. If you don’t follow these paths, you want will take quite some time to get to you, could arrive only after many difficulties, could be incomplete, or could not reach you, in this life. So that at the time of deciding that things will get you, is extremely important to take into account the following: is imperative that you understand fully that you can have anything they want.

In this book you will find everything you need to know that you are a powerful being and also the techniques needed to handle that power. At the time of setting goals, it is important that you not only learn how to set goals so that they comply with all the requirements that a goal should be that it made manifest easily in your life. In the book the secret of the power of the goals, Andrew Corentt presents powerful techniques, not only to set goals, but also to generate that energy that you will need to pay for what you want. If you want wealth in abundance, if you want to happiness, if you want success, then these books help you clarify what you want, to formulate goals and achieve all the energy you will need to pay, and then materialize, in your life what you want.

Homeschool Education

Although the school is the option most common and accepted to provide education to the children, some parents we have considered other forms to replace the necessity to learn of our children. Next I mention my 7 reasons to educate small son in house, that go from the familiar organization to socialization aspects: 1. When the children are in house is more time to share in family. – This time is translated in shared activities, the possibility of traveling in scholastic season (with the corresponding saving of money), and long time to know us enters parents and children. If the problem of the present society is that the parents do not spend time with their children, the education in family can become partly of the solution to this problem.

2. The papas we benefitted from its learning. – Already a long time ago we left the school, but what as much we remembered the lessons? When taking the responsibility to educate our children we also assumed the challenge to educate to us same. The parents and children we can share sincere " not s" and to find out the together answers. To learn simple and complex things to the adult age is a privilege of few. For many it has meant an encounter with the taste to learn. 3. The children learn more express.

– The activities usually are concentrated in the interests of the children, and the attention is individualized. This makes agile the assimilation process enormously, since we have interested children and concentrates simultaneously. A point that in the school can delay 1 day or up to one week of repetition, in house can only take a pair from minutes. 4. The children socialize with people of diverse ages and social classes. – The children educated in house have the opportunity to socialize with people of different ages and socioeconomic layers.
