Aman Shanti

We went on a field trip to the Henry Martin Institute. HMI is a center for interfaith relations. It's an excellent example of an organization with an original negative goal (converting Muslims to Christianity) morphing over time into an organization with an admirable goal (creating interfaith understanding in a multifaceted community).

They had a school, a health clinic, and a vocational school.


On an unrelated note, there are a few cautionary nibs I'd like to throw out.

Don't get hit by a bus.


Don't loose your ears in a dog fight.


And don't go see a majestic 17 meter statue of Buddha, which was painstakingly carved from one piece of granite by 40 sculptors and then brought to and dropped in the center of a lake only to be recovered five years later if you are really really tired.
