Even more important than the warmth and affection we receive, is the warmth and affection we give. It is by giving warmth and affection, by having a genuine sense of concern for others, in other words through compassion, that we gain the conditions for genuine happiness.

In 2003, a significant discovery was made in the Sakya Monastery in Tibet. An ancient library containing a vast collection of 84,000 secret manuscripts was uncovered. These manuscripts, which are over 1,000 years old, are stored on traditional stacks measuring 60 meters in length and 10 meters in height. This extraordinary find offers a unique window into the history and culture of the region.

The Sakya Monastery, founded in 1073 by Konchok Gyelpo, is one of the most important centers of Tibetan Buddhism. The discovery of this ancient library within its walls has provided a wealth of information and insight into the development of this religious tradition and the history of the region.

BREAKING: In case you missed it late last night while you were in bed, DC Judge Tanya S. Chutkan reinstated a gag order against Trump ahead of the 2024 election, where Trump is the leading GOP candidate.

Here are the 14 key things that you need to know:

1. Last night (Sunday night), DC federal judge, Tanya S. Chutkan, reinstated a gag order on former President Donald J. Trump.

2. The gag order restricts what Mr. Trump can say about witnesses and prosecutors in a case where he is accused of seeking to overturn the 2020 election in Washington D.C.

3. This is different from the gag order in New York which limits what he can say there about court staffers.

4. In Washington DC, the gag order was temporarily placed on hold for nine days before being reinstated last night.

5. Mr. Trump's lawyers had requested a longer freeze on the gag order while a federal appeals court in Washington reviews it,
but Judge Chutkan denied this request.

6. But now, the gag order will remain in effect while a federal appeals court in Washington reviews it.

7. The detailed reasoning behind Judge Chutkan's decision was not immediately available due to a computer system glitch.

8. Trump's legal team had argued that the gag order violates his First Amendment rights and silences him during a crucial period when he is positioning himself as the leading candidate for the 2024 presidential election.

9. However, the special counsel Jack Smith's team contended that despite Trump running for president, he did not have permission to issue public statements that could threaten or intimidate individuals involved in the election interference case, especially if those statements might incite violence among readers or listeners.

10. The gag order in New York is related to a civil case where Trump is accused of allegedly fraudulently inflating the value of his real estate holdings. In contrast, the gag order in Washington, D.C., is associated with a criminal case involving his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

11. In the New York civil case, Justice Arthur F. Engoron imposed a $10,000 fine on Mr. Trump for violating the gag order (in court), which bars him from going after members of the court's staff. This fine followed a previous $5,000 fine imposed by Justice Engoron in the same case (for a post on Truth Social.)

12. In Washington DC, Jack Smith's team told the judge to reinstate the gag order because Trump had also violated the frozen order by twice making public comments about Mark Meadows, his former chief of staff, who could appear as a witness in the case.

13. “The defendant has capitalized on the court’s administrative stay to, among other prejudicial conduct, send an unmistakable and threatening message” to Mr. Meadows, prosecutors wrote to Judge Chutkan. “Unless the court lifts the administrative stay, the defendant will not stop his harmful and prejudicial attacks,” they added.

14. Last night, the judge sided with them and reinstated the gag order.

My take: Trump has alleged that Judge Tanya S. Chutkan in DC is biased and has made prejudiced statements against him while presiding. He requested the judge to recuse herself, but the judge denied the request. He also asked the judge to extend the duration of the gag order freeze while the appeals court reviews it, which was also denied last night. Trump has further argued that silencing him during a presidential election in which he is a leading candidate is not only unjust but unconstitutional. However, the judge ruled differently. Many individuals on the right assert that this situation clearly indicates election interference, and they may not be wrong!

My simple religion is that there is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart are our temple; and our philosophy is kindness.

It is important to cultivate the inner values of patience, tolerance, forgiveness, contentment, and self-discipline. These inner values help us to remain calm and composed in difficult situations and to be free from the negative emotions of anger, jealousy and hatred.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

When you think of others, you no longer think only of yourself. When we face problems, we can use our intelligence to overcome them. We have to tell ourselves, ‘I’m a human being and I’m not alone’. We need never feel hopeless.

If the amendment is passed, the constitution will be changed to include anti-abortion language. However, the amendment itself does not equal an abortion ban. https://t.co/OGvodzQOfa

Some of the cows that escaped from a truck collision earlier are still on the mooove. There are 4 cows believed to have gone deeper into the woods & we're asking the public to call 911 should you spot a loose 🐮. Don’t try to capture the cow(s) as we don’t want to start any beef.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Love can be defined as a wish that others be happy; compassion is the wish that they be free from suffering. If you cultivate love and compassion within yourself, it will ensure happiness, good health and peace of mind.
