Tejaprabhā ( 熾盛光佛 ) and the Five Planets by Chang Huai-hsing ( 張淮興 ) Self-Improvement? Saturday – March 21, 2026 S elf-improvement, really? Indeed, in modern times there is much talk about the concept of "improving the self", but what all this talk really amounts to at the end of the day is nothing more than a mere momentary improvising that will be sure to lose its glow rather quickly. So, is there even such a thing as "self-improvement"?

Depiction of Krishna ( कृष्ण ) playing the flute Talents | Thursday – March 19, 2026 D o I have any talents? Do you have any talents? Indeed, what are talents? Well, for the most part talents are abilities that people appear to possess corporeally without having any need for input, in the sense of working to become better, effort in other words. To a certain limited extent you may say that talents belong to the metaphysical realm, truly to the supra-intellectual , but it would be more accurate to say that there certain qualitative aspects about a given individual exerting himself in some domain suitable to his particular and essential substance, and this is what is manifested as a "talent" in the corporeal and crude sense. But yes, it is certainly true that people are differently able when it comes to their aptitudes in all the senses to which man belongs, but it should be understood that a talent is merely the lowest and least qualified expression of certain aptitudes, and t...
