[QUOTE="HpprKM, post: 163185, member: 14660"] Orangeballoon, There is a lot to learn and to be gained from some Buddhist philosophies, please check out the Dali Lama web page shown above, he has also written many books, one of the most helpful being , available, amongst others from Amazon. I would have given the website but not sure that it would not breach the code of ethics on the forum as might be viewed as advertising, if you wish you can send me a private message for that. Also, of possible interest is a book by Isobel Losada, also a face book member with whom I correspond from time to time [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabel_Losada[/url], she resides here in UK but has done much work for the Tibetan Cause and is connected with Buddhism, she has written several books, one of which is 'The Road to Enlightenment'. As I say, you are welcome to send message to me for more info if required. Re: your comment: on the fear of diabetes and all the possible complications, I know it is hard but best not to dwell on them too much, try to keep positive and concentrate on what you can do to keep them at bay by eating a good diet and living as healthy a life style as possible. If you thinking I am preaching to you, not really, I also find all of those things difficult and have been so caught up in a demanding job of late that I lost sight of how to deal with things, and have taken some stress time out, as reached a really bad low, especially as my husband has been diagnosed with a degenerative illness as well now. Result I am trying to get back in touch with these things, and one of them is around the Buddhist philosophy, in the past I have practised Tai Chi and Yoga, sadly lapsed due to time constraints and life in general, but I have seen and felt the benefits they can bring. I do hope this helps, and would be very happy to communicate by private messages on this subject if you would like to. Also, you might like to look at this - thedalailamablog from that blog, the words of Buddha make such perfect sense: As I say, I am far from an expert but it does interest me and I would really enjoy discussing it would others who have an interest, or even knowledge. :) [/QUOTE]
