For those who want to download a copy, please folow the Link provided here. I would appreciate all feedback, especially that which points out errors and misprints.(there are a few title font errors). Thanx in advance to all those who send comments etc. The book is 270 pages and is PDF, 5.6mb. (PLEASE ENTER YOUR E-MAIL TO RECIEVE THE NEW DOWNLOAD LINK AS IT ONLY WORKS ONCE PER ADDRESS) CLICK FOR DOWNLOAD. I will update this section when i have time and new info At the present moment my interest is RAM PUMP technology. these pumps use no engine or electrical power source. the pump is water driven ! i am fortunate enough to know a friend who is developing these pumps and has kindly offered to donate one for use in one of the project groups we work with. The guys who design and build these pumps are very helpful about explaining the principal and the technology to those who are interested... i have some pictures which i will get around to uploading but in the meantime you can see their homepage which has animation and explains things about the development process... it is an extremely interesting site for those schools or students doing projects and if anyone has a water or pumping problem then i'm sure the guys would appreciate the challenge... i also have the brochure in the thai language which will be uploaded as soon as possible.. the link below will take you to their page which is in english.

....WHAT IS DHARMA ? >WHAT IS DHARMA?.. The word Dharma is derived from the root DHR- to hold- and its etymological meaning is ‘that which holds’. Dharma is so called, because it holds: Dharma alone holds: the whole of creation from the microcosm to the macrocosm, this world or the people of the world. It is the Fount from which Freedom flows. There is no thing conceived or otherwise that is not held by the Dharma. It is the eternal Supreme Law. The Entire and the All are sustained by the irreducible Law of Dharma. Practice of the Dharma, therefore, means recognition of this Law and abidance by it in our daily lives. That which brings well-being to man is Dharma. Dharma supports this world. The people are upheld by Dharma. Dharma leads to eternal happiness unsurpassed. That which is Dharma is ultimate Truth. Therefore, whosoever speaks the Truth is said to speak Dharma, and whosoever speaks Dharma is said to speak the Truth. .....yours in the Dhamma / Dharma pra lewis citta dhammo bhikkhu ..

About me:
These are some pics from my recent trip to Cambodia.. i will blog about the orphanage and the old man who runs it, he is 63 years old and was disrobed by the Khmer rouge, after that he started taking care of the children... thats a long time to be taking care of kids... his story - and the matter of fact way he told it is amazing... he has never told it all to anyone and i am hoping someone will help me to get it all down on video,, so all of you budding directors or cameramen looking for a story should get in touch... i will be going back to Cambodia in 2 or 3 weeks time... Anyone who wishes to travel AROUND THE WORLD BY ROAD should follow this link. I met these guys when they were travelling through Thailand, they are now in Africa - or were the last time i checked. They have a route map and a great website. Link :- CLICK HERE . A young monk from Cambodia has sent me a short e-mail and couple of pictures. He is trying to help the children in his area. Here is his letter and pictures. I would like very much to apologize for delay in writing message to you. Because I stay in the countryside and also very busy. I come to check mail one time each month and it is very small time. I hope you understand about that. to send you message every two weeks if could hear from you. I have provided learning materials and school uniforms for some poor students in the rural area on February and last month. They were very happy with our help. We are very pleased to help them too. Please stay in touch. Thank you. I would like to send you some pictures, too. Thank you very much for your time reading my message. Your in Dhamma as always, Samboeun ---------{THIS WAS WRITTEN 2006}------------------ HOW I SPEND MY DAY ?... i can assure that my entire day is not spent sitting with my eyes shut, the wat has several projects going on at the moment and my time is spent on research for the new uposatha hall and museum which we hope to start this year. the temple is installing an fm radio station for dhamma talks etc . i am currently translating a thai book about wat doi saket and hope to get the novices involved producing a chanting book in thai and english at the wat and I have my normal duties to attend . my day starts around 4 and usually does not finish before midnight. i hope to hear from all those who have an interest in Buddhism or those with questions about the life of a western monk. ..Get your own free MySpace background at MySpace Layout Support
Who I'd like to meet:
Actually i met him .... he is the owner of a genuine emerald Buddha. It is the second largest emerald in the world and he was kind enough to let me see it close up. i will add it to my photos when the picture is forwarded to me. ( i don't envy those people who handle expensive antiques / ming vases etc - I WAS SHAKING.) . , , . ........................... CLICK FOR LINK ABOUT THE EMERALD BUDDHA. ,..........

I had to stop by and wish you a very Happy Birthday, I know I am a couple of days early but did not want it to slip my mind. I have been working that American 8-5 job, that I just realized is not for me anymore. How are you doing? By the looks of your site you have been busy. I am beginning to research another journey quite different from my last one, I will email you soon with some thoughts/ideas. Drop me a line when you have some free time, I would love to hear what you have been up too.
Respectfully,
Margaret

Kural 311
Even if injuring others would bring princely riches,
the pure in heart would still avoid it.
Kural 312
It is the principle of the pure in heart never to injure others,
even when they themselves have been hatefully injured.
Kural 313
Harming others, even enemies who harmed you unprovoked,
surely brings incessant sorrow.
Kural 314
If you return kindness for injuries received and forget both,
Those who harmed you will be punished by their own shame.
Kural 315
What good is a man's knowledge unless it prompts him
to prevent the pain of others as if it were his own pain?
Kural 316
Actions that are known to harm oneself
should never be inflicted upon others.
Kural 317
The highest principle is this: never knowingly
harm anyone at any time in any way.
Kural 318
Why does he who knows what injury to his own life is like
inflict injury upon other living human beings?
Kural 319
If a man visits sorrow on another in the morning,
sorrow will visit him unbidden in the afternoon.
Kural 320
All suffering recoils on the wrongdoer himself. Thus, those
desiring not to suffer refrain from causing others pain.
