Calendar. Although many of the points made on this web site about the Kālacakra calendar are very critical of the Tibetan calendars of the Phugpa and Tsurphu traditions, those calendars have been in use for several hundred years, and continue to be used today.
The most commonly used is that of the Phugpa system, with yearly calendars still produced in Tibet and Dharamsala, northern India. In order to compare dates in Tibetan history with western dates it is useful to have an archive of Tibetan calendars, and such an archive is made available here.

Dealing with Disturbing Emotions: Attachment. Alexander BerzinRiga, Latvia, July 2004 Unedited Transcript Listen to the audio version of this page (1:10 hours): Download the audio file This evening we’re going to be speaking about how to deal with our disturbing emotions.
Well, first of all, what is a “disturbing emotion?” That’s the first question. And of course, with attachment and longing desire, that could lead us to act destructively – to go out and steal something, for example.

Mahatanhasankhaya Sutta: The Greater Craving-Destruction Discourse. This sutta teaches how to understand the relationship of consciousness to rebirth in a way that helps put an end to rebirth.
Although the Buddha never used any word corresponding to "rebirth" in his teachings, he did describe birth as a process following on death again and again as long as the appropriate conditions are present. In other words, even though he didn't use the word "rebirth," his teachings on birth are teachings on repeated birth: how it happens, how it inherently involves suffering and stress, and how it can be brought to an end. The idea that death can be followed by birth was not universally accepted in India in the Buddha's time.
As DN 2 and MN 101 show, some prominent contemplative schools actively rejected the idea of rebirth while others affirmed it. Thus when the Buddha taught rebirth, he wasn't simply following an unexamined cultural assumption. There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way. Refuge Tree.
