		<title>Akon video: insulting to Buddhism? Or&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;just typically lame? See this (unfortunately typo-laden) report.
I&#8217;ll spare you the Buddhism/Booty-ism jokes. Besides, the Buddha only appears in a flash or two in this video. Is it insulting to Buddhism? Maybe. But that&#8217;s probably the least of its problems.

&#8220;Trying to find the words&#8230; without being disrespectful.&#8221; I think it&#8217;s safe to say you&#8217;d better [...]]]></description>

		<title>Video: Sitting down to rise up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New York City&#8217;s Interdependence Project has been, as they say, taking meditation to the streets. First there was their November 2009 &#8220;Sit Down, Rise Up&#8221; 24-hour meditation marathon in the windows of ABC Carpet. (Video here.)

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Are we witnessing the second coming of the Buddha?&#8221; asked Stephen Colbert in the opening tease of Monday night&#8217;s Report. &#8220;I&#8217;ll believe it when I see it in my grilled cheese sandwich.&#8221;

		<title>Video: &#8220;Jessica Simpson Loses It in Buddhist Temple&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a little late on this one, being that I&#8217;m just back from a meditation retreat &#8212; it&#8217;s best, they say, to take a little time before jumping onto one&#8217;s email, etc, to make your post-retreat &#8220;re-entry&#8221; a bit easier. But when I saw that my dharma-brother-from-a-different mother Konchog Norbu had sent me an email [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jerry Brown running for California&#8217;s governor again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Looks like it&#8217;s official: California’s avuncular and sometimes controversial Jerry Brown (who was famously — and, I think it can be said, unfairly — skewered for pushing a form of “Zen fascism” in California Uber Alles, the classic song by Bay Area punk godfathers Dead Kennedys) will be running to be his state’s governor again, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to previous contributor Norbert Hübner for this take on the Japanese word for enlightenment. He writes:
&#8220;I&#8217;ve heard tales about people being struck by satori in a  supermarket aisle, but I never expected it to happen to me. While strolling through the local food discounter, mulling over the  mystical experiences of the weekend, [...]]]></description>
