16th March meeting

For a change we studied the text of a speech made by Vaclav Havel
The Need for Transcendence in the Postmodern World
In this postmodern world, cultural conflicts are becoming more dangerous than any time in history. A new model of coexistence is needed, based on man's transcending himself.
Vaclav Havel is the president of the Czech Republic. The speech was made in Independence Hall, Philadelphia, July 4, 1994.

Amazing, a politician with intelligence and spiritual wisdom.

Joke
"Make me one with everything." said the buddhist monk to the hot-dog vendor.
The hot dog vendor prepares the hot dog and gives it to the monk. The monk pays him and asks for the change. The hot dog vendor says: "Change comes from within."
