Traditionally the buddhist teachings are divided into three major divisions: the Sutras, the Vinaya, and the Abhidharma.  The Vinaya are the discourses of the Buddha on the conduct of the monks and nuns and also lay persons.The Buddha taught the Vinaya to monks and nuns so that they had a set of rules allowing them to devote their complete energy to reaching enlightenment.  The Buddha, however, did not simply one day give these rules.  Rather he waited for the proper situation to arise and would give a teaching on that particular situation.Thrangu Rinpoche is eminently qualified for explaining the Vinaya and Buddhist conduct because he has lived since the age of four in a monastic situation. He has maintained his vows and is abbot of Gampo Abbey, one of the few Tibetan monasteries in North America.  These teachings are Rinpoche's detailed explanation of this poorly understood part of the Buddhist canon.

HERE ERRED EINSTEIN

<p>The emergence of modern physics in the first three decades of the 20th century was accompanied by a loss of determinism. That loss is embodied in the Copenhagen interpretation and the theory of relativity. The development of physics-based technologies, both constructive and destructive, occurred shortly thereafter at so dizzying a rate that scientists rarely took a critical look at the logical foundations of the Copenhagen interpretation and the theory of relativity, or at the consequences of the loss of determinism.This book contains a dialogue between a physicist and a philosopher on that issue. The dialogue is strongly contextualized with respect to the main players in physics during the first sixty years of the 20th century, and to the prevailing political conditions in Western Europe and the USA. It was galvanized by the debate and the subsequent abandonment of the Superconducting Super Collider, and also affords a lively understanding of Greek epistemology. Questioned by the philosopher, the physicist provides an account of the directions taken by physicists and the roads not traveled, as well as his own understanding of the nature of matter.</p>
