Cancer Symptoms which most people ignored

It is just human nature why most people simply ignores the importance in going for regular check-ups to ensure that their health conditions are in the right order. What do they fear ......... don't they ever give a thought how their lives could be saved if their problem(s) is/are detected earlier. I need not have to elaborate on such reminders anymore, due I will be too willing to tell any of them, that it was due to their own negligience and faults, should they tell me that they are facing a late stage cancer striken sickness. Sometimes, it is not a good idea to just rely on tests alone to protect us from cancer, or related problems, although annual check-ups and tests such as colonoscopies and PSA readings (one type of cancer-marker) are important. Often, it is also important to listen to your own body and notice anything that’s different, odd, or unexplainable. Don't wait. Go and find it out. But, then again, how often we hear friends commenting that they will go when they f

The Wooden Fish in The Temple

This is an important set of so-called praying instrument, used by the monks when chanting their Sutras. It is found in all temples and through times, many do not know what this item is called, neither many do really knew the purpose it serves................. A wooden fish (木鱼) sometimes known as a Chinese block, is a wooden percussion instrument. The wooden fish is used by monks and laity in the Mahayana Buddhist tradition. It is often used during rituals usually involving the recitation of sutras, mantras, or other Buddhist texts. The wooden fish is mainly used by Buddhist disciples in China, Japan, Korea, and other East Asian countries, where the practice of Mahayana, such as the ceremonious reciting of sutras, is prevalent.

Why do human have to cheat ?

They said, the human brain is the devil's workshop and they will come up with anything that will make them selling their souls to the devil. Even in broad daylight. As I was strolling at a market place one day, I was not amused when I sighted this weighing scale standing by itself (the owner was not around at that time). I became more angry when I saw the validation sticker (approved by the relevant authority) which reads 22 Sept 2012. Is the authority approving this scale since Day 1, or the owner manipulated it later ? Many questions started to run through my mind.

For a moment, I was telling myself ..... how much richer could the guy be, at the end of the day for risking such daring stunt. Will the money earned brings him any good ? Why is he feeding his family w
