“You'll notice all around the Hindu temples couples, statues and drawings, in various erotic forms of love-making. This used to give the British a lot of trouble because they were kind of white and uptight. It didn't quite fit. How could a temple of God be covered with pictures of people, in their term, fornicating?” PeopleGivingKindFormUsedTermWhiteTroubleBuddhismCoupleFitVariousBritishSexualityDrawingTemplesCoveredEroticStatuesLove MakingUptightForms Of Love Author:Frederick Lenz
“I think toilets are more important than temples. No matter how many temples we go to, we are not going to get salvation. We need to give priority to toilets and cleanliness.” ThinkingNeedsGivingImportantMatterSalvationPrioritiesTemplesToiletsCleanliness Author:Jairam Ramesh
“The compulsory transfer of the [Palestinian] Arabs from the valleys of the proposed Jewish state could give us something which we never had, even when we stood on our own during the days of the first and second Temples. . . We are given an opportunity which we never dared to dream of in our wildest imaginings. This is MORE than a state, government and sovereignty----this is national consolidation in a free homeland.” GivingFirstsStatesDreamGovernmentOpportunityGivenTemplesValleysPalestinianSovereigntyHomelandTransfersState GovernmentCompulsoryConsolidation Author:David
“No temple made with hands can compare with Yosemite. Every rock in its walls seems to glow with life. Some lean back in majestic repose; others, absolutely sheer or nearly so for thousands of feet, advance beyond their companions in thoughtful attitudes, giving welcome to storms and calms alike, seemingly aware, yet heedless, of everything going on about them.” GivingMadeHandsSeemsAttitudeFeetRocksWallCalmStormWelcomeCompareThoughtfulTemplesCompanionSheerReposeMajesticYosemite Book:The Yosemite: John Muir's quest to preserve the wilderness Source: The Yosemite: John Muir's quest to preserve the wilderness
“The genius of Freemasonry is not our Masonic buildings and temples or the trappings of our organizations. It is not our great charities or community activities. It is not our beautiful rituals or their teachings! It is the 'practice of Freemasonry' by the Freemasons. Yet we cannot practice that which we do not know or understand. Thus Masonic education is the foundation for our Fraternity. Brother Carl H. Claudy in The Master's Book says, '.. one thing and only one thing a Masonic Lodge can give its members which they can get nowhere else in the world. That one thing is Masonry.” KnowsWorldGivingBookBeautifulCommunityPracticeOne ThingTeachingBuildingBrotherMastersGeniusActivityMembersOrganizationFoundationCharityTemplesRitualFraternityMasonicLodgesMasonryFreemasonry Author:Carl H.
