Acetaminophen (Tylenol) effect on cognitive processes
It looks like some early studies are showing the pain/fever reducing drug Tylenol may also have subtle but measurable effects on our mental state. It's interesting how physical and mental pain may share some of the same biological underpinnings, and also that we are still finding new discoveries abo...

Re: Question about dementia
Many thanks for everyones replies. It's difficult to see a loved one who lived such a good life suddenly have everything change and to be so fearful and anxious.
The sutta reference Santa provided was a consolation.

Re: Question about dementia
Thank you for the replies everyone. The sutta reference Santa provided was an especially great consolation. It's difficult to see a loved one who has been such a good person their entire life have everything change so quickly for them.

Question about dementia
Hello, My understanding is that in Theravada buddhism, the mindset of a person passing away is very important in terms of conditioning the next form of existence. Can someone explain what the Therevadan viewpoint is for someone who passes away while suffering from dementia? If a person lived a good ...

Daily Sutta Website
Hi,
I came across http://readingfaithfully.org/ and thought it may be useful to others. It helps people develop a daily sutta reading practice and has some good information.

Re: Online Retreats - 2012 - Sister Khema & Bhante Vimalaramsi
Thanks for the information Micro!

Hi, I came across this site a while ago during my investigations of Buddhism. While I'm currently not a buddhist, I find many of the teachings useful and believe the Theravada teachings to be about as close to what the Buddha probably taught (although I am no scholar).
