thanks jen, I can see that you can't really see the original values, but
it still looks to be a very nice work, and worth seeing your style which
has a nice life to it.

how did you get it into the message template?

Upaya Buddhist Chaplaincy Program Invites New Applicants

The Upaya Buddhist Chaplaincy Training is a visionary and
comprehensive two-year certificated program for a new kind of
chaplaincy intended to serve individuals, communities, the
environment, and the world. The program focuses on altruistic and
compassionate leadership and service, and on social transformation
from a systems perspective. It is intended to prepare people to have
the skillful means to transform all forms of suffering, including
suffering induced by structural violence.

Faculty for 2009 will include Roshi Joan Halifax, Margaret Wheatley,
Fleet Maull, Stephen Batchelor, Richard Davidson, and many more. Upaya
is now accepting applications for the 2009 training cohort. For more
information, contact Maia Duerr, chaplaincy@upaya.org, and see

  A larger presence, the unknowable total of all there is

Today the New York Times has an Op-Ed piece
by David Brooks, "Neural Buddhists".

13brooks.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

< understand universal moral intuitions. Genes are
not merely selfish, it appears. Instead, people
seem to have deep instincts for fairness, empathy
and attachment.

Scientists have more respect for elevated spiritual
states. Andrew Newberg of the University of
Pennsylvania has shown that transcendent
experiences can actually be identified and
measured in the brain (people experience a
decrease in activity in the parietal lobe, which
orients us in space). The mind seems to have the
ability to transcend itself and merge with a larger
presence that feels more real.
