"In the post-meditative experience become a child of illusion" is a slogan from the Tibetan mind training tradition. We engage the world as we experience it all the while realizing that reality is not as it seems to be.

Wal-Mart and China
Snark:
Wal-Mart tries to ease consumer fears about tainted Chinese products: "Do you want safe products or always low prices?"
WalMart indeed has its faults. However, I have to wonder why everyone keeps romping only on WalMart. Look at Fisher Price. Fisher Price toys were always an exemplar of high quality, safe, and durable children's toys. Now, they have had to recall toy after toy (I've lost track of how many) because of safety issues. To the best of my knowledge all of those recalled toys were made in China. One has to wonder if they are still saving money by having moved their production to China. Maybe it is time we start holding other companies accountable instead of just focusing on WalMart. Carolyn L.
