Caregiving lowers levels of stress hormones and inhibits the activity of the amygdala, the brain's fear center, that's why caring for others, as long as it doesn't physically exhaust us, can boost our health.

THIS CHANTING IS ALWAYS AUSPICIOUS NEVER MIND PEOPLE DONT CARE!

Wherever you chant Hare Krsna, they may hear or they may not hear, it is auspicious for them. So we are sending our men for street sankirtana. It doesn't matter whether people are eager to hear it or not, but it is auspicious. It will create an atmosphere which is very, very congenial to the human society. That should be our principle. Not that because we are chanting, nobody is taking care, we shall not be disappointed. Our, this sankirtana movement is so nice that simply by chanting, the vibration will create an auspicious atmosphere, variyan esa te prasnah [SB 2.1.1]. Now you can practically see, those who are old members... So I began in this New York in that storefront simply by chanting. So I did not bribe you American boys and girls to come after me. This is the only asset was chanting. That in Tompkinson square park, this Brahmananda Swami he first came to dance in my chant.

T he experience of emptiness is one of the most puzzling aspects of the Buddha’s teaching. While we can intuitively understand and experience, at least to some extent, the truths of impermanence and unreliability, it may be difficult to relate to the term ‘emptiness’. In fact, in English, the word is not all that appealing. We may think of emptiness as a grey vacuity or as some state of deprivation. Yet, in the Buddha’s teaching of liberation, of freedom from all suffering and distress, the realization of emptiness plays a central role.

Why is karma selective and only punishes some people? While others get away with their wickedness? What god or energy manages karma and why do some have protection from divine punishment?

Karma is not selective. Everyone, not only some people, will get the results of their karma. It’s not a matter of Divine punishment, but simply the natural consequences of one’s actions themselves. It may or may not come in this lifetime; if not, it will come later. No one gets away with their wickedness.

All is Void!” – Initial Reactions, and Responses hat the Dharma thus teaches, and what we will discover for ourselves as practice evolves, is that absolutely everything is empty, without exception. The self is empty. So too is the body, and the whole material world, together with its constituent elements, its subatomic particles, fields, and forces. Also all our inner experiences, emotions, and thoughts; and even whatever experiences we might have through ‘bare attention’ that so much seem as if they are ‘direct experiences’ of ‘things as they are’ – indeed, whatever is perceived, as the Buddha said, is empty.
