Hoy os quiero hablar un poco del budismo, entre otras razones porque forma parte de algunas de las personas de la cultura con la que menos os identificasteis en la encuesta. Aún así el budismo es una práctica que cada vez está más manifest in the world, perhaps because it transmits, or the staging that can have on daily life. Recently, in one of those days of "mental confusion" I listened to Deepak Chopra, a filosofeante, to call in some way, followed by many people, including celebrities such as Madonna, and practicing Buddhism. But you want to know more about this practice, here it is.

Buddhism has been for many centuries the dominant spiritual tradition in most of Asia, including Indochina countries, as well as Sri Lanka, Nepal, Tibet, China, Korea and Japan. Unlike Hinduism, Buddhism can be traced to a single founder, Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha called 'History'. He lived in India in the mid 6th century BC
If the flavor is mythological and ritualistic Hinduism, Buddhism is definitely the psychological. The Buddha was not interested in satisfying human curiosity about the origin of the world, the nature of the divine or similar questions. Was concerned exclusively with the human situation, with the sufferings and frustrations of human beings. His doctrine is, therefore, not a metaphysical but a psychotherapy. He noted the origin of human frustrations and how to overcome them, taking for it the traditional Hindu concept of maya, karma, nirvana, etc., giving a psychological interpretation renewed, dynamic and directly relevant.
After Buddha's death, Buddhism developed in two different schools: the Hinayana and Mahayana, the first more orthodox and the second most flexible, India was taken over by Hinduism from Buddha to be an incarnation of God multifaceted Vishnu. As
spread across Asia came into contact with a lot of different cultures and different mentalities who interpreted the doctrine of Buddha from different points of view. Thanks to this, Buddhism was kept alive through the centuries and evolved into highly sophisticated philosophies deep psychological knowledge.
Despite its high level of intellectual philosophy, Mahayana Buddhism is never lost in abstract thoughts speculative. As always in Eastern mysticism, the intellect is seen only as a way to clear the way for direct mystical experience, the Buddhists call 'awakening'. The essence of this experience is to go beyond the world of intellectual distinctions and opposites to reach acintya world, the unthinkable, where reality appears as an 'entity' non-divided and differentiated.
This was the experience of Siddhartha Gautama one night, after seven years of strenuous discipline in the woods. Sitting in deep meditation under the celebrated Bodhi Tree, the Tree of Enlightenment, suddenly got the final and definitive clarification of all your searches and questions, in the act of 'second to none and full awakening', which became the Buddha, that is, 'The Awakened'. To the East, the image of Buddha in meditation is as significant as the image of Christ crucified to the West.
Buddha preached his doctrine later expressed in the form of The Four Noble Truths, a compact presentation of the essential doctrine, that much is like a medical diagnosis, first identify the cause of human disease, then states that the disease can be cured and finally prescribe the remedy. The First Noble Truth
cites the salient features of the human situation, duhkha, which is suffering or frustration. This frustration stems from our difficulty in facing a basic fact of life that everything around us is unstable and transitory. "Everything comes and goes," said Buddha, besides the notion that the flow and change are basic features of nature are among the fundamentals of Buddhism. Suffering occurs when we resist the flow of life and try to cling to fixed forms, which are all maya, are things, events, people or ideas. This doctrine of impermanence also includes the notion that there an ego, no self that is the persistent object of our varied experiences. Buddhism holds that the idea of \u200b\u200ba self separate individual is an illusion, just another way of Maya, an intellectual concept that has no reality. Hold on to this concept leads to the same frustration that cling to any fixed category of thought.
The Second Noble Truth speaks to the cause of all suffering, trishna, which is the grasping, or holding on. It's futile to cling to life, based on a mistaken view, what is called avidya, or ignorance. Because of this ignorance we divide the world we perceive in separate and individual things, and therefore try to confine the fluid forms of reality in fixed categories created by the mind. As long as this view will experience frustration after frustration. Trying to hold on to things we see as strong and persistent but in reality are transient and constantly changing, we are trapped in a vicious circle where every action creates more shares and each question raises new questions. This is called samsara, the round of birth-death, and is driven by karma, the endless chain of cause and effect. The Third Noble Truth
calls the suffering and frustration can be stopped. It is possible to transcend the cycle of samsara, free from the shackles of karma and achieve a state of total release called nirvana. In this state, false notions of a self separate are gone forever and the unity of all life is a constant feeling. Nirvana is the equivalent of moksha in Hindu philosophy and, being a state of consciousness beyond all intellectual conception, defies further description. Reach nirvana is to achieve the 'awakening' or the state of Buddha.
The Fourth Noble Truth is the Buddha's prescription to end all suffering, the Eightfold Path of self-development leading to the state of 'awakened'. The first two mentioned above correspond to the right vision and right knowledge, that is, with the clear understanding of the human situation, that is the necessary starting point. The four following sections are concerned with the correct action. They are the rules for the lifestyle of a Buddhist, which is the middle way between opposite ends. The last two sections have to do with the right awareness and right meditation and describe the direct mystical experience of reality that is their ultimate goal.
Buddha did not develop his doctrine in a consistent philosophical system but I thought the way to achieve enlightenment. Their opinions about the world were confined to emphasize the impermanence of all things. He insisted on freedom from spiritual authorities, including his own, saying he could only show the path to Buddhahood, and dependent of each individual aim and move towards the goal by their own efforts. Buddha's last words to dying are characteristic of their world view and attitude as a teacher. "Decay is inherent in all compounded things," he said before he died: "Move on with diligence."
The culmination of Buddhist thought is achieved according to many authors, the school called Avatamsaka, which is based on the sutra of the same name. This sutra is considered as the core of Mahayana Buddhism and is praised by Suzuki with the most enthusiastic words:
Regarding Avatamsaka-sutra, is really the consummation of Buddhist thought, Buddhist sentiment and Buddhist experience. In my opinion, no religious literature in the world can achieve the greatness of concepts, the depth of feeling and the gigantic scale of composition is achieved in this sutra. It is the eternal source of life that no religious mind thirsty again or only partially satisfied.
This was the sutra that stimulated the minds of Chinese and Japanese more than anything else, when Mahayama Buddhism spread through Asia. The contrast between the Chinese and Japanese, on the one hand and Hindus on the other, so great was said to represent two poles of the human mind. While the former are practical, pragmatic and social thinking the latter are imaginative, far-reaching and metaphysical. When the Chinese and Japanese philosophers began to translate and interpret the Avatamsaka, one of the greatest writings produced by the Hindu religious genius, the two poles are combined to form a new dynamic unity and the result was the Hua-yen philosophy in China and Kegon philosophy in Japan, which, according to Suzuki, "the climax of Buddhist thought has been developing in the Far East for the last two thousand years."
Avatamsaka The central theme is the unity and interrelatedness of all things and events, a concept that not only is the essence of the Eastern view but is also one of the basic elements of the worldview that is emerging from modern physics.

BUDDHISM You know what's the Evangelist Church?

The Roma community in Spain is a collective extensively studied from the point of view of social services and studies on social exclusion. No doubt the quality of life levels usually reach this group showed a significant inequality with the rest of the indigenous population that justifies this type of study. However, the volume of research that are detached from this perspective to analyze social structure and its character is much lower. This article was inserted precisely in this last line showing some notes on of religion that professes this group mainly in the English state.
Most English Gypsies are attached to which is known as the Evangelical Church of Philadelphia. What follows is a brief review of the history and structure of this institution to conclude by pointing out what has been the role of the church within the Roma community.

EVANGELICAL CHURCH OF PHILADELPHIA
WHAT IT IS AND HOW TO DEVELOP
The Evangelical Church of Philadelphia is named after one of the Seven Churches of Christ mentioned in Revelation. This Pentecostal church is one of the most important evangelical enterprises developed in Spain and is most remarkable peculiarity of being the most represented gypsy church in this country.
The cradle of this movement is found in France around 1950, but not until the mid 60's and early 70's when we find the first manifestations in Spain.
The existing socio-political environment in this country during that period (last years of Franco) somehow facilitated the establishment of this church, because of the liberalization process that was taking place.
expansion this church for the English territory occurs through contact between Roma families, which are transmitted from one another the knowledge of this new religion.
This transmission process this expansion gives a strength and dynamism, together with the support and empathy of this religion with the idiosyncrasies the Roma people, explained the big bang conversion that occurs in the 80's.
Today, the evangelical mission has a very large number of followers, an amount of approximately five hundred churches and local pastors in 2500. Just have to say that, although many Roma remain Catholic, evangelical religion a draft deep in Romany, gypsies being more evangelical practitioners in their religion than Catholics .

CHURCH KEY FEATURES AND STRUCTURE
Philadelphia Evangelical Church is based, like all other Protestant religions, Christianity reforms introduced by Luther in the sixteenth century. Now, with features that resemble other evangelical denominations, also has certain peculiarities from Pentecostal status and adaptation of Buddhism to the gypsy culture.
Being a church Pentecostal involves belief in the miracles of the Holy Spirit as narrated in the Bible that occurred on the day of Pentecost. Along with this, we highlight other features that are derived from it:
Rejection of the hierarchical organization and priestly
Pastor's condition is acquired through the charismatic qualities of the candidates (novices). Moreover, the body that holds ultimate authority constituted by a group of elders who dictate the general guidelines to follow.
The minimum institutionalized hierarchical structure and lack of bureaucracy and formal rules and the importance of charismatic qualities leaders, let us analyze the prevailing forms of authority in this church structure in terms of the Weberian typology as a combination of the ideal types of traditional and charismatic authority.
· rejection of baptism in children
baptism, considered as a remission of sins can only be carried out at an age when the subject is undertaken in a conscious and voluntary, therefore, the Evangelical Church of Philadelphia rejects the practice of this ritual at an early age in which no use of reason.
· The cult based solely on the Bible
The Bible is the only baseline written to these Gypsies are routed in all the rites and beliefs. Thus, for example, deny the Theory of Evolution of Species, await the return of Christ to earth and think the woman from the rib of Adam.
The free interpretation of the Bible made representing the evangelists crucial differentiating factor between the different denominations.
• The iconoclasm
Like other Protestant churches, the denomination of Philadelphia forbids the worship of images.
· emphasis on inner inspiration
This feature is directly linked to the lack of institutionalized rules in this church. Interior inspiration that Aleluyas - name given to Gypsies attached to this church - attributed to the strength of the Holy Spirit pervades all manifestations of faith: Religion attendees are free to express publicly and at any time his love of God, Pastors usually only prepare a small base of his sermon and let the rest flow through the inspiration of the moment, etcLa experience of religiosity is converted to evangelical gypsies in a letting go ", but always observing limits that despite not be defined in an explicit way, everyone knows (this is also a feature of all gypsy lifestyle, evangelical or not). We must also bear in mind that like the Roma are mainly nomadic tradition requires a very flexible structure to avoid conflicts between the spiritual and the continuous movement


WORSHIP CELEBRATION OF THE ROMA PEOPLE AND WORSHIP
Throughout history the Roma has maintained a close relationship with the transcendent which is manifested through their culture in many ways: a deep respect for the dead, the practice of various arts of divination, the belief in curses , etc.
Gypsies, because of this particular experience of the phenomenon religious, have never been fully incorporated into the Catholic religion prevails in Spain. If we consider the fundamental characteristics of the Roma culture, it is easy to understand that the Roma feel that religion as something alien to his people, and that with the emergence of the Evangelical Church of Philadelphia in Spain were many who adhere to it, abandoning Catholicism.
The rigor of the Catholic Church before Vatican II , did not quite take root in the heart of a deeply marked by the love of freedom. Moreover, the fact that the Latin Mass was officiated was also a restraining factor, it must be taken into account that in most cases Roma dominated the Castilian even impossible for them to continue the celebration through a missal, and who could not read. To all this must be added the fact that Catholic churches were formed by non-Roma and non-gypsies were also priests, in short was a religion for non-Roma - and we must keep in mind that the coexistence of two cultures has never been satisfactorily -.
However, the emergence of the evangelical church has been for the Gypsy a possibility to express their religiosity in a much more in tune with their culture. In the Bohemian Protestant celebrations can speak freely without be subject to regulated patterns of behavior, pastors are gypsies, like the assistants in the cult can unleash its expression through song and praise ... All these factors have made the Evangelical Church of Philadelphia a religion in which the Roma are comfortable and that they recognize as their own.
But now, the implementation of this church in Spain was not without its problems within the Roma community itself, as the majority belong in principle to the Catholic Church, many were reluctant to accept a new religion that did not know . Because of this, many of the Roma who were converted to the Evangelical Church in its infancy in Spain had to fight hard to get their commitment to religion was accepted by their families and friends, and later to become the same also.
Once completed these first moments of difficulty, the Roma were gradually accepting this religion, until in the eighties there was a mass conversion to the church. This decade has been the most important in the history of worship in Spain in terms of conversions, as today, although new members are still occurring, is manifesting a progressive decline in the number of new conversions.

SOME OF YOUR INFLUENCES IN SOCIAL DYNAMICS
A) THE EDUCATIONAL FIELD
First, it should be noted that the educational role the church has met within the Roma community. Based on data such as that 71% of the English Gypsy population in 1997 had not failed to complete compulsory schooling or your gross illiteracy rate stood at 44% , it is essential to address this problem, a goal that also check this religious community.
Learning gypsy children in their own environment revolves around the family, and aims the transmission of values \u200b\u200band norms of the group as well as the qualifications necessary to perform function within the family labor (traditionally associated with street vendors, trade and those trades that can be developed with a certain autonomy).
At this point the Evangelical Church of Philadelphia has introduced an innovative factor. First, the fact that religious beliefs are based on the Bible has facilitated the approach of Gypsy historical knowledge and to increase language skills through reading this book.
This church has done very important work, but also promotes the learning of reading the gypsies who can not read, so that they can access the Bible.
On the other hand holding the Cult is also a place of learning for attendees. The reading of the Word by Pastor is always linked to the explanation of its meaning. The pastor who has been instructed previously acted as a bridge between the Gypsy and the contents of their holy book, explaining how they understand what is read.
B) COLLECTIVE IDENTITY AND SOCIAL COHESION
The psychological need to possess an identity is one of the fundamental characteristics of human beings. Reference groups and membership of an individual up one of the most important elements construction of this identity, as they provide a sense of identification with the group and become mirrors in which to find their own values, beliefs and behaviors that you yourself possess. Thus, next to the individual identity of the people who make the group also created a collective identity based on common characteristics they share.
The importance of these groups becomes more apparent when referring to minority and excluded groups. The fact that a small group to be recognized in a position of inequality and oppression by the dominant group causing an intensification of the norms and values \u200b\u200bthat define them as a defense mechanism and differentiation.
The Roma community is a clear example of the above. The situation of marginalization that this town has suffered without exception throughout history in Spain has promoted the strict maintenance of traditional forms and deep sense of belonging to the community by its components, has been what has allowed the survival of the group despite the attack and the persecution they have suffered on many occasions.
This strong collective identity of the Roma is reinforced in the Evangelical Church of Philadelphia. Possession of a religion, distinct from the religion of the bumpkins, enhances the differentiation between the two groups.
On the other hand, and on the basis the idea that the Gospel has come into the world to redeem the poor and marginalized peoples, the Roma have taken the belief that its people have been chosen by God for their salvation. This idea of \u200b\u200bchosen people in a way relieves the frustration caused by the fact of marginalization, as a transcendental way, this town provides the consideration and the power of those who have been deprived by the majority society.
C) SOCIAL CONTROL
The unity of the group becomes, somehow, in a kind of social control to individuals, who have to bear in mind that whatever they do will be watched and judged by the group. To this we must add the idea that everything they make in the private sphere will be observed and judged by God.
This feeling of being watched both by their own comrades as by a divine force, many times slowing the possible actions that deviate from the model of behavior that has been defined as appropriate. CONCLUSION


In short, we can conclude that the experience of religiosity in the Evangelical Church of Philadelphia is fully in line with traditional forms Roma, being observed in each and every one of the celebrations and rules of the common features of Worship this culture and because of this adaptation of religion to the idiosyncrasy is what we observe a strong increase of followers since its inception in ours.
In other words, "Worship, liturgy is the gypsy, it has its songs, prayers, language, forms of preaching are Roma and, besides, he can participate. Preaching is accessible, enjoyable, varied, using the Bible, it says something, you have content, which is why the Gypsy does not get bored and, moreover, is interested and lives " .

When talking about different religions, you should always know the most inner parts of them is not an obligation, just a board, this way we be a little tolerant of different things, as well as see the evangelist religion beat us on the issue of the large hierarchy among other things, perhaps different, neither better nor worse, but people must be all the same, and the hierarchy on religion . For everything else I hope I have clarified an issue that for many a doubt, this article was written by personal request from a partner.

there is always hope for freedom of religion, but unfortunately the subject of religion remains a source of wars and social disputes in the world today.

RACISM, THREAT ON THE STREET

Tonight telecinco issued a report that I recommend in person. RACISM: THREAT TO THE STREET . The article reconstructs the case of Miwa, young Congolese who suffers quadriplegia after a brutal racist attack, an example of racism consented. In addition, we see images of the far-right members of a band coach, because as you will see in the report, this is not a matter of chance, but a whole social fabric which is personal training and cus cu racial clan in a movie.

The consequences were fatal in the case of Miwa: strong impact from behind caused him tetraplegic. "Racism threat on the street" has conducted extensive monitoring of this case and made a reconstruction of the last eight months of the life of Miwa. During this time the child has identified the alleged perpetrator of the assault, although it continues to release pending trial.

Sameul Eto'o People like working with this report, it is significant that as television presenters ethnic race, try not to approach the outskirts of Santiago Bernabeu match days to avoid bad actions and situations of violence and verbal aggression to him.

The racist actions in our country have always existed, but lately seems to have an avalanche of " tray racism," added the boom that they are creating, which madelaine case, the communication MEID after the case of the attack on the subway to the young Ecuadorian causes are creating an environment of terror to all that happens around us about people of other races or anyone that looks a little radical.

But really why we're getting to this point and why we are back on the understanding and tolerance between races? It is a role-playing, where we feel threatened by English Latin bands, granddaughters or latinking, and those of another culture feel threatened in our streets and right-wing Nazis who defend the superiority of the white race.

What's happening? Why not understand the diversity or the pleasure of the difference? We are not equal, we're different and that is something q is in sight, but there is grace. We are not able to build heterogeneous world, compliance, living and understanding. Stop violence can not be dying every day so alarming number of women who belong to one person is quadriplegic blacks all his life, a woman in a subway has to be attacked by an intolerant, or other person is not able to defend this woman for fear of reprisals for being homosexual abroad.

No, continue killing, without mutual understanding and using violence to demonstrate the superiority of one race, far from increasing the inferiority of a race.
