Evolution

A
combination of variation and natural selection has produced over many
centuries many established varieties of Buddhism. Variation arises at
other times by adopting alternative understandings – at worst erroneous
interpretations of traditional teachings, and at best insightful
products of great minds – able to shape a Buddhism more effective in a
regional culture, or to streamline certain practices or understandings.
Evolution is typically driven by the pressures of human nature, of local
cultural and environmental factors and occasionally of external
intervention, such as governmental decrees.
Early
differences in interpretation are found in the varying codifications of
a formalization of Buddhist philosophy called the Abhidharma (Sanskrit,
or Abhidhamma in Pali, meaning higher teaching), which developed rather
independently but in parallel in many of the early sects and took their
final forms after the time of Emperor Ashoka. The Abhidharma projects
sometimes became highly speculative and other early sects abstained from
an Abhidharma project altogether, including a Sautrantika (Sutta Only)
sect thatbranched off of the Sarvastivada. This gave rise to differing
ontological stances on ultimate existence. The Theravada Abhidhamma
project continued long after the canonical Abhidhamma was closed.
Difference in Abhidharma contributed to the disagreements among various
sects.
Starting
in the first century BCE or the first century CE and continuing for a
few centuries thereafter, monks in India and later in Central Asia began
composing texts that were most often based on the model of the early
discourses, but that were generally longer and mythically fortified.
Examples were the apocryphal Prajnaparamita Sutras, Lotus Sutra, Flower
Ornament Sutra and so on. This was the beginning of the Mahayana
movement, whose scriptures echoed a number of common doctrinal themes.
As if this were not enough, the first millennium CE in northern India
seems also to have been an era of very liberal thinking, of free
Buddhist inquiry, the era of the great scholar-monks, Nagarjuna,
Shantideva, Vasubandhu, and others, and the era of the great Buddhist
monastic universities where they lived, studied and taught, most
famously Nalanda, which brought thousands of students and teachers
together in one place or another to discuss and debate the whole
spectrum of Buddhist and non-Buddhist thought, both orthodox and modern.
I picture this era as much like what developed much later in the
Western post- Enlightenment intellectual milieu or in beatnik coffee
shops of the 1950’s, in which almost any philosophical proposition was
worthy of discussion or debate.
In
China, the Sasana was suddenly propelled into a radically different
culture that placed new selective evolutionary pressures on it, much as
if flower seeds were propagated by wind or defecating birds to a region
of distinctive conditions of wind, soil or water, or, for that matter,
if a flock of penguins were to come into contact with a colony of humans
for many generations: the tradition either evolves or perishes. With
much colder weather, clothing and housing, the basic requisites of
monks, would have to be more substantial. This was a land whose cultural
life was largely rooted in Confucianism and Taoism, which included a
very strong ethical code governing every aspect of life, from the
behavior of the emperor to familial relations, which had a basis of high
literacy and intellectual astuteness, and which had a particular
appreciation for the cycles and beauty of nature. Here the family was
valued highly and there was no previous tradition of wandering
mendicants. The Chinese way of thinking has been called synthetic where
the Indian is analytic. The emperors were divine. There was much more
social mobility than in India; a farmer’s son could, through passing
government examinations, become employed in the government system and be
eventually promoted to become a minister to the emperor.
China
was culturally about as far from India as possible, and so in China the
Sasana evolved under quite novel influences. First, the Chinese
popularized those scriptures and philosophical treatises appearing at
the mouth of the Silk Road that most appealed to Chinese tastes, giving
Chinese Buddhism a distinctive quality through a first round of natural
selection.
For
instance, the long obscure Pure Land Sutras from India seem to have
gone viral in China. China developed its own schools and ordination
lineages, such as Ch’an and T’ien Tai (Zen and Tendai in Japan), each
generally on the basis of a particular transmitted Mahayana scripture.
Then China’s own indigenous scriptural corpus developed, such as the
rather unique poetry and koan collections found in the Zen school that
bear a much clearer affinity to Taoist literature than to anything found
in Indian Buddhism.
We will have occasion to look at some of these Chinese adaptations as our discussion progresses.
Those
of us in the West who are trying to understand the ongoing historical
process of assimilating Buddhism into the Land of the Fork, do well to
consider the perhaps even more monumental ancient passage of Buddhism
from India to the Land of the Chopstick.
The
forces at work in both transitions make it clear that the Sasana, the
living Dharma, is more than a systematic association of like-minded
people; it is a culture, a system of values, symbols,
conceptualizations, behaviors and taboos and rites that define a
people.56 As such the entry of Buddhism into an alien culture, even when
welcomed into that culture, can be a dramatic event, a clash of
cultures requiring cultural realignment on both sides as Buddhism
settles into its new home, where Buddhism seems repeatedly to prove
itself a major civilizing force, even while Buddhism is also bent and
reshaped by the local folk culture.

10 Dwarf Vegetables to Grow in a Small Urban Garden

Guest post by Natalie Miller from Gardeners Oakleigh Park

If
you have a very limited space but want to grow fresh vegetables then
look out for these 10 dwarf vegetables. You can easily grow them in
small potted gardens.

Unfortunately,
not everybody who is eager to grow plants on their own is blessed with a
spacious and fruitful garden. Many people give up on the gardening
hobby, just because they think they cannot have a garden in their small
homes in urban areas. Please, do not make their mistake. Even if you
live in a little urban home or apartment, there is always a way for you
to have a lovely garden – take dwarf vegetables for example. These
miniature veggies grow in smaller size but are equally tasty and healthy
as their full-sized varieties. Growing dwarf

Growing dwarf
vegetables has become very popular recently, so their seeds are
available both on-line and in most garden centers. If you are able to
provide appropriate conditions for the larger duplicates, but simply
lack garden space, opt for the following dwarf varieties and you will be
able to enjoy an adorable but also sustainable urban garden.

1. Cherry Tomatoes


Cherry tomatoes are one of the most suitable vegetables for
containers. You can easily grow them in small to medium sized containers
and even in the hanging baskets. The yield is high and they don’t take
much space too.

2. Cauliflower


There are many dwarf cauliflower varieties available that you can
grow in pots in your small garden for higher yield. Learn how to grow cauliflower in pots here.
Besides cauliflowers, you can also grow other brassicas. Dwarf
varieties of cabbage and broccoli can be grown in containers quite
easily.

3. Baby artichokes


The difference between the full-sized artichokes and the dwarf
kind is that the little artichokes actually do not have a choke. You can
eat the whole of them if you just peel their external layer of leaves.

4. Baby Eggplants


You can grow any eggplant varieties in containers in a small
garden but a few dwarf eggplant varieties like round mauve eggplant,
little finger eggplant, casper eggplant and baby eggplant produce small
and tasty fruits in a little space.

5. Dwarf carrots


This type of carrots can be produced all year and are a bit
sweet. You can choose to plant one or several varieties in your small
garden. Select between round, white or French carrots. If you prefer to
eat tender and sweeter carrots, go for the French ones that are perfect
in combination with other dwarf vegetables. White carrots grow bigger –
around 5 inches and the round variety has a stronger carrot taste.

6. Green beans


The dwarf French beans “haricot verts” are very appealing in many
European countries and the USA because they are very flavorful and easy
to grow even in pots. Thinner and tender than the ordinary green beans,
these baby green beans can really bring some life to your balcony.

7. Dwarf Lettuce


A couple of dwarf lettuce varieties are available in the markets.
The iceberg, salad bowl, the Red Royal oak leaf, little gem and green
leaf sorts can be produced year-round and do not require much space,
which makes them an excellent choice for small urban gardens.

8. Baby green onion


The dwarves of the green onion just taste like chives and can also be grown all year round.

9. Dwarf Avocado


These tiny avocados have no seed and reach not more than 3 inches
in length and just an inch in width. Also called cocktail avocados,
they do not require any special gardening skills to be grown and are
suitable for container gardening.

10. Scallopini


This hybrid is available in dark green and yellow varieties and
its season is from May through October. Scallopini is a crossbreed
between scallop and zucchini and its flavor does not differ from the
taste of its larger alternatives.

The number of miniature
vegetables that you can grow in even the tiniest potted gardens is
constantly increasing. Smaller alternatives to the common garden
vegetables are selected by plenty of urban gardeners who know no
boundaries and are eager to bring some greenery in their city homes.
Take care of them by choosing some of the mentioned veggies to plant and
grow by yourself and be proud of your lovely garden in the city.

16 Home Remedies To Stop Loose Motions (Diarrhoea)



Home Remedies To Stop Loose Motions



Last Updated on

We all experience (rather suffer) from bouts of loose motions every
now and then. Whatever the reason, loose motions are unpleasant and can
make your life miserable. Usually, loose motions or diarrhoea is not a
cause of worry. It is the body’s response to the disorders in the
gastrointestinal system, and if you have diarrhoea, you will have to
make frequent trips to the toilet for a couple of days. However, the
condition can worsen and become chronic owing to bacterial or viral
infection. The common symptoms of loose motion symptoms include
abnormally watery stools, bloating, nausea, and abdominal cramping. It
can result in dehydration and weakness. Simple home remedies can prove useful in battling diarrhoea and keeping the body and tummy healthy.


What Can Cause Loose Motions?


When you have diarrhoea, you may make trips to the toilet 4 to 5
times a day, and this problem may last for more than a couple of days.
However, if you have loose motions for over a week, it can be worrisome
and would require immediate medical attention. Several factors can
contribute to the onset of loose motions. Some of the common causes of
loose motions are:

  • Bacteria like E.coli, salmonella, campylobacter present in contaminated water and foods can cause loose motions.
  • Viral infections like viral hepatitis, herpes simplex virus, norovirus, and rotavirus can trigger loose motions.
  • Irritable bowel syndrome due to stress can trigger the condition of loose motions.
  • Some individuals are intolerant to certain foods or specific
    ingredients in foods. Their incapability to digest them can prompt loose
    motions. For example, people who are intolerant to lactose can
    experience loose motions on consuming milk or additional dairy products.
    Similarly, individuals can be intolerant to fructose in fruits.
  • At times, intestinal issues like inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s
    disease, celiac disease, ulcerative colitis, or gallbladder disease can
    become a reason for loose motions.
  • Altered immune function or tumours can cause loose motions.
  • Hereditary disorders like cystic fibrosis can be another cause of loose motions.
  • Consuming unpasteurized or raw milk can negatively impact the digestive system which may lead to diarrhoea.
  • Malnutrition or deficiency of nutritious food can also be responsible for loose motions.
  • Taking certain medicines like antibiotics can have a laxative effect which can trigger loose motions.


Effective Home Remedies for Loose Motions


Usually, loose motions or diarrhoea is not a serious problem and may
resolve on its own. However, it is bothersome owing to its irritable
symptoms. Recurrent loose motions can lead to severe dehydration as the
body tends to lose essential nutrients, and this could be dangerous for
your health. Some natural remedies for loose motions include:


1. Yoghurt


Yoghurt


Consuming plain yoghurt is one of the best ways to deal with loose motions.
