  <font size="2" face="Arial">&quot;Unable to bear the suffering of sentient beings without doing something about it, you generate strong compassion and love,
  wishing beings to be rid of suffering and possess happiness. Then, seeing that to accomplish this purpose there is no way but to attain Buddhahood, you

			<link>http://informedcitizen.yuku.com/topic/1591/t/Paradox-of-Nothingness.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ If the world is fundamentally logical then it must have a logical reason for being. But is the world logical? I don't know. But I must assume it is because I can only think logically and it appears to behave logically and that is all the evidence I have to go on. And if it is that means it can be explained. <br><br>Assuming the world is logical it seems to me there are two and only two possibilites here; 1- the universe can explain itself because that reason for being is intrinsic to it.... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ My calling is to work for the spiritual enlightenment of humankind. To this end, I have been posting articles on the Internet; articles to prove that God exists, to show that we need Him, and to point out the benefits of living a God-friendly life. <br> <br>However, I have discovered from many of the responses I have received that rational arguments alone will not change peoples stand on religious issues. A more practical approach is required if people are to be persuaded that Godliness will... ]]></description>

Now that scientific investigations have enabled us gain considerable knowledge of the physical world we have become even more at home in this realm.<br> <br>However, the more we understand and achieve control of the natural... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Spiritual wealth is wealth that derives from knowledge. To gain spiritual wealth entails acquiring spiritual knowledge. Facts and information about the spiritual aspect of life are what constitute spiritual knowledge.

It appears so often that I have almost come to expect it, or at the very least not to be surprised by it.

			<description><![CDATA[ The existence of God can be proved in two ways  by practical demonstration and by deduction. These two methods are employed because they are acceptable to science. In science, fact can be established by practical demonstration and knowledge can be arrived at by deduction.<br> <br>Let us begin with the method of practical demonstration.<br> <br>We are told that the earth has a magnetic field.

			<description><![CDATA[ The human being is endowed with ability. We have the capacity to do things. However, our ability is inherently limited. The human being is not almighty and so cannot accomplish all things. Because human capability is finite we find that a person cannot by his own powers alone ensure the success of all his pursuits and undertakings in life. A human being is not able to ensure his good health and the safety of his life at all times. A human being is not able to ensure his welfare throughout... ]]></description>

(By human creative activity I mean useful and constructive activity by human beings). The physical aspect of our creative activity concerns our activity in relation to the physical universe.

			<description><![CDATA[ Time and again the question has been asked, If really the world was created by a good and omnipotent God who watches over His creation, why are we visited so often by natural disasters and personal tragedies? On some occasions, tens of thousands are killed and whole communities rendered homeless by earthquake. At other times, death and destruction are caused by flooding.

			<description><![CDATA[ When we lack certain things, the joy of living is diminished. In some instances we may become severely distressed and even incapacitated by such lack. When we are sick, in other words, when we lack good health, it is usually not a happy circumstance and we do all we can to regain our health. When someone is poor, that is, when they lack money and material possessions, life is not very enjoyable. Such a person is not able to live the way they wish or do the things they want.
