A great Tibetan teacher of mind training once remarked that one of the mind’s most marvellous qualities is that it can be transformed. I have no doubt that those who attempt to transform their minds, overcome their disturbing emotions and achieve a sense of inner peace, will, over a period of time, notice a change in their mental attitudes and responses to people and events. Their minds will become more disciplined and positive. And I am sure they will find their own sense of happiness grow as they contribute to the greater happiness of others. |

Buffeted by the whims of larger, more powerful nations and
isolated from the international community, Laos, at least until only a few

overlooking a lake in southeastern Pennsylvania's
Chester County. All that was needed was the local
zoning board's permission to use the site for religious purposes. |

The guidance provided by Buddhism about forms of economy is examined,
focusing on individual and social aspects of Buddhist practice, rather
than a literal readings of the canonical texts. The case of the
village-level development organization in Sri Lanka, Sarvodaya
Shramadana, illustrates issues concerning Buddhist approaches to
organization at the micro level. The impact of the Buddhist institution
of the laity supporting monks on economic growth is considered, and the
