From the beginning of time to 1500 A.D., the center of the universe was the earth and the stars and planets circled around us. This was the truth.

No. What you're talking about is just the views of human beings - here the scientists' views, when they looked at the universe at different points of time - changed and not the universe iftself or the viewer himself changed. This is like the parable of five blind men used their hands to "see" the different parts of an elephant's body, for example, or when the man named Steve was stung by someone's words he got upset and when he was praised by good words of someone else, he felt very happy, didn't he? The bad words replaced by the good words and the man seemed have been changed but the substance of the "he" actually did not changed.

I wonder: When the words changed, did the fact or the truth also change?

Or when the words changed, is it that only the words were replaced by another word in one’s thinking – in other words, this thought was just replaced by another thought?

When the thought changed with the words, did one get out of his disorder, confusion…and stand on the Land of Truth, Beauty, Compassion, and Freedom?

Have you practiced the technique called “Letting Go”?
If you have, how does it work for you?

If you do not know what you will be able to let it go and what you will not be able to let it go,
so you will waste your time and energy in vain.
You might think it was gone, actually it has never gone, it’s still there and will come back.

Moreover, if something is really yours, then how could you let it go, when it’s yourself?
And if something is not yours, then how could you let it go, when it has nothing to do with you?

Therefore, you should know what you will be able to do “letting go” and what you will not.

May whoever believe in Christianity together with their family members, relatives, friends, bothers and sisters, preachers, and priests…see their God as they ever pray to, at the same time, fly into the Kigndom of Heaven, and live their heavenly life eternally.

And the same with whoever believe in Hinduism, together with their gurus attain awareness, cosmic consciousness… be forever with their Brahma… and also the same whoever believe in Muslim, together with their rabbis or rumis attain all the sweet love…be eternally with their Allah.

ChonTri voluntarily vows to be here in this world which is called the world of “samsara” or the world of “hells” or whatsoever world it might be called…to live with any thing or being around him moment by moment in tranquility and harmony without end.

Saudi Arabia's human rights commission has hired a lawyer to help a 12-year-old girl divorce her 80-year-old husband, the lawyer said, a move activists hope will lead to a ban on child marriages.

Also from Al Arabiya, in a followup to this story:

Prosecutors in Turkey are seeking life in jail for the father and grandfather of a girl who was buried alive for befriending boys, local judicial sources said Monday.

The pair were arrested after the body of 16-year-old Medine Memi was found in a sitting position with her hands tied, in a hole in a chicken pen outside her house in Kahta town, Adiyaman province, 40 days after she went missing.

A post mortem showed a significant amount of soil in her lungs and stomach, meaning she was buried alive, forensic experts have said.

The judicial source said they would likely face a charge of "premeditated homicide with aggravating circumstances, perpetrated with cruelty" being drawn up by prosecutors.

Turkish law demands life in prison if convicted of those charges.
