“It is not possible to think of a way of screening out effectively the most appropriate embryos, and hence, what we should expect would be late abortions - either occurring spontaneously or being induced deliberately in the second or third trimester of pregnancy - in order to prevent the birth of abnormal children.” ThinkingWayShouldChildrenWould BeOrderBirthLateThirdsAbortionAppropriatePregnancyAbnormalScreeningEmbryos Author:Ian Wilmut
“The first undeniable reality is that every living thing dies, and the second undeniable reality is that we suffer throughout our lives because we don't understand death. The truth derived from these two points is the importance of clarifying the matter of birth and death. The third undeniable reality is that all of the thoughts and feelings that arise in my head simply arise haphazardly, by chance. And the conclusion we can derive from that is not to hold on to all that comes up in our head. That is what we are doing when we sit zazen.” FirstsTwoMatterFeelingsRealityTruthDeathSufferingDiesChanceOur LivesBirthThirdsImportanceCome UpAriseConclusionLiving ThingsThoughts And FeelingsBirth And DeathClarifying Book:Opening the Hand of Thought: Foundations of Zen Buddhist Practice Source: Opening the Hand of Thought: Foundations of Zen Buddhist Practice

“The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose in the Mountains of Mist. The wind was not the beginning.
