| About Wayne Dyer Wayne Walter Dyer (b. 1940 in Detroit) is a popular American self-help author and lecturer. His 1976 book Your Erroneous Zones has sold over 30 million copies and is one of the best-selling books of all time.... Dyer tells readers to pursue self- actualization ... and suggests that readers emulate Jesus Christ, [as] an example of a self-actualized person, and a "preacher of self-reliance.” Dyer has criticized societal focus on guilt.... He has written dozens of bestsellers, the most recent being Living The Wisdom Of The Tao: The Complete Tao Te Ching and Affirmations. (Source: Wikipedia) |

| The chakras (pronounced SHOCK-ruzz) are the seven energy centers in the human body, according to yoga philosophy. The chakras are conceived of as wheels of light, each rotating at a different speed and each a different color, arranged in a line from the base of the spine to the top of the head. They are believed to interact with the body's ductless endocrine glands and lymphatic system by feeding in good bio- energies and disposing of unwanted bio- energies. —Adapted from Wikipedia, accessed May 25, 2009 |
| East Meets West through Buddhist Institute By: Anne Reilly |
| The existence of a Buddhist organization in an Eastern European country may seem surprising. But Buddhism has beyond its original Eastern context and Hungary's East-West the globe. Although Hungarian culture is largely influenced and informed by Christian values and perspectives, many Hungarians "have a traditional interest in Eastern cultures, because they are thought to have come from Inner Asia," said Tamas Agocs, director of the institute. This may be why the only state-accredited Buddhist institute of higher education in Europe, the "Gate of the Dharma" Buddhist University, was founded in Budapest in 1991. The university subsequently established the East-West Research Institute "to provide framework and conditions for scientific research into the possibilities of Buddhist education and the dissemination and application of Buddhist principles in the country," said Agocs. |

| As globalization continues to make the world smaller, participants strive to increase the dialogue between the “East” — the Asian cultures that have been shaped by Buddhist thought — and the “West” — the modern, scientific cultures that originated in Western Europe |
| With this goal in mind, they also work towards making the values of Buddhism known in the West. Without forsaking the integrity of Buddhist views, values and practices, Agocs said their goal is “to enter the East-West dialogue not just in order to find interesting parallels and differences between Eastern and Western discourses, but with a view towards the constructive and creative application of Buddhist principles in all walks of life." According to Agocs, the open attitude of Buddhist thought is the ideal starting point for furthering the science-and- religion discussion. "Buddhism shares many methods with Western science. They both emphasize the unbiased examination, thoughtful analysis and critical testing of experience," said Agocs. However, the direction of the approach is different, he said. "The basic difference is that Buddhist inquiry is directed mainly inwards, towards the consciousness, while scientific research is mostly targeted outside." In addition to participating in the science-and-religion dialogue and organizing conferences on the intersection between the East and the West, the institute promotes research on the study of the Buddhist tradition and explores Buddhism as an applied science that can provide answers to challenges faced in the world today. Current programs include the Milky Way project, which is establishing a Buddhist school. The institute is also sponsoring research on the mind and the application of Buddhist mind training methods to psychology and community building. Eventually, Agocs said he would like to build cooperative relationships between the center and other international organizations for interdisciplinary research projects. |

| of meditation, whether or not the word chi is actually used. Chi is believed to be the life force or spiritual energy that sustains all living things and permeates the spaces in which they exist. Chi is usually considered an Asian concept, but since the dawn of history, chi has had its counterpart in every culture—prana in the Yogic tradition, for example, and, more loosely, the Holy Spirit in Christianity. The word chi and its cognates in most languages derive from roots that allude to air, breath, spirit, or wind. The Chinese philosopher Zhuang Zhou (Zhuang Zi or Master Zhuang, 370-301 BCE) described wind as “the qi of the earth.” Chi is central to traditional Chinese medicine; qigong, tai chi chuan, and other martial arts; and feng shui (pronounced FUNG SHWAY). In the healthy human body, chi moves smoothly through the meridian channels, or energy centers. (There is some similarity in concept to energy flow through the seven chakras. There are twelve standard meridians, however, and they are located on the arms and legs.) Balancing chi and removing blockages can restore harmony to the body. The practices of acupuncture, acupressure, reiki, tong ren, and other nontraditional healing techniques all seek to balance chi and allow it to flow freely. The same principle applies to spaces—homes, gardens, offices— and the goal of feng shui is to arrange the environment in a way that is harmonious and healthful.
