    Today in my Purpose-Driven life book I found following passage that resonated with me and reminded me of my regular visits to the fleamarket: We never really own anything during our brief stay on Earth.

    Yesterday I began reading an intriguing book on the topic of pseudo-spirituality in Buddhism, Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism. The book’s title intrigued me because I have long felt that yoga and meditation, which are widespread in European countries, are associated with the religion of Buddhism in the same way as T-shirts with the image of…
