| There are two types of prayer. Prayers are, for the most part, simply reminders in your daily practice. So, the verses look like prayers but are actually reminders of how to speak, how to deal with problems and other people, etc. In my own daily practice, prayer takes about four hours. My practice is reviewing compassion, forgiveness, and shunyata. Then the major portion is the visualization of deity, mandala, and attendant tantric practice including visualization of death and rebirth. In my case, it is done eight times. So eight times death is eight times rebirth. I am supposed to be preparing for my death. When actual death comes, whether I will succeed or not, I don't know. |

| "When did you begin?" The Hatter looked at the March Hare, who had followed him into the court, arm-in-arm with the Dormouse. "Fourteenth of March, I _think_ it was," he said. "Fifteenth," said the March Hare. "Sixteenth," said the Dormouse. "Write that down," the Kind said to the jury; and the jury eagerly wrote down all three dates on their slates, and then added them up, and reduced the answer to shillings and pence. |

| Government: Government should not be made an end in itself; it is a means only -- a means to be freely adapted to advance the best interests of the social organism. The state exists for the sake of society, not society for the sake of the state. |
