When Is The Premium Bonds Drawn?

KARMA

Many times in life, people blame their ills on others, and before that he should reconsider and not judge in vain, because this life is governed by a Cosmic Law pay, or cause and effect , which is interpreted as KARMA.




And you may ask, What is Karma? . According to many Eastern religions, KARMA would be a metaphysical energy (invisible and immeasurable) that derives from the acts of individuals. In accordance with the laws of karma, each of the successive reincarnations would be influenced by acts done in previous lives.



Karma is continuous learning, learning in which we find people who have evolved and some do not. So if someone hurts us, we can say that we have a person who has not evolved and as people we feel we have developed some sympathy, as his way of acting is very sad.

sure many of you, sometime in your life you have crossed with people with whom the slightest contact with them, we noticed as happiness, good vibes, love, ... and probably with others with whom we have felt negativity, sadness, defeatism ... therefore we must learn the first and second try to help to organizations that work and evolve.



Bear in mind also that when two people have a relationship and go to bed, the Karma is transmitted from one to another. Therefore, many people when they start a relationship or married, life will change (some for good and others bad). This kind of karma is called Karma-Saya .



So, if a person is engaged in sowing suffering, thereby doing harm to others, that it is what you reap.



The Cosmic justice is not bought with money is achieved with good deeds, so do not anybody ever do what you do not like to have them do unto you.



BE HAPPY as I am, and especially to make others happy!

The Yungang Grottoes

In northern China, in Shanxi province , is located the city of Datong ( capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty between 386-584), and 16 kilometers from the city, are the Yugang Shiku Caves .


The Yungang Grottoes are a series of 53 caves Buddhist niches and about 1200 more than 50. 000 stone statues, which are spread over an area of \u200b\u200b1 km square, south of the Wuzhou Mountain .



The construction of these marvelous grottoes began in 460. Was the brainchild of Emperor Wen Cheng , which restored Buddhism as religion, and Buddhist monk named Tan Yao as organizer of the creation of the caves.



The work completed about the year 494, when the Northern Wei Dynasty, decided to move the capital to Luoyang , which began with the creation of other caves Longmen Grottos. The Yungang Grottoes, the Longmen Grottoes , along with the Mogao Grottoes are sites with ancient sculptures, more famous in China.






The Yungang Grottoes, each cave has a main statue of Buddha. The largest has a height of 16'8 feet, while the smallest is 13.5 meters high, representing respectively the 5 emperors Northern Wei Dynasty. The cave number 18 is one of the most spectacular, since its center is a great Buddha, whose clothing has carved more than 1000 small Buddhas.







Compared with Mogao and Longmen Grottoes, Yungang those are the ones that were built by a single dynasty and reflect the first large-scale assimilation of Buddhist culture in China. Furthermore it combines Eastern and Western traditions.





The Yungang Grottoes, the largest group of caves preserved in China, being reported in 2001 , Heritage Site by UNESCO . Currently these wonderful caves are facing serious environmental pollution caused by exploitation and consumption of coal in Datong, which has been taken steps to ensure that future generations can also enjoy them.

the Holy Company

As you know, Galicia is a land full of superstitions , ranging from witches, evil eye, fairies, ghosts, until a myriad of beliefs and myths that have survived until today, through oral transmission from parent to children. All of these beliefs, make Galicia a magical place full of mysteries .




One of the many beliefs that stand in the popular mythology is Galician The Holy Company. The Holy Company, also known as "The Guestier" , Is a procession of dead or souls in pain that evening walk the roads of a town. The intentions with doing this course are varied, being the most common include:

  • To claim the soul of someone who will die soon. (It is said that those who see the Holy Company, will die within a year)

  • to reproach the living who have committed some sins. (If sin is especially grave, the mortal who has committed could be visited by the campaign to the head of, and sentenced to wander until another mortal to replace him.)

  • To announce the death of an acquaintance of witnessing the procession.

  • To serve a sentence imposed by any authority beyond.

  • To order masses for his salvation to surviving relatives.



Although the appearance of the Holy Company varies by tradition different areas, the most widespread is formed by a retinue of lost souls, dressed in black robes Hooded, wandering at night. This procession is formed by two rows, going barefoot, carrying candles and leaving behind a smell of wax.

Generally procession is headed by a deadly (male or female, depending on whether the pattern of their parish is a saint or a saint), who wears a cross and a bucket of holy water, the that follow the spirits with candles. This mortal, will not remember during the day, what happened in the course of the night, recognizing those punished with the punishment, by its thinness and pallor, as they are not allowed to rest a night, until they die or else be surprised at that which he leads the procession will pass the cross he bears.




But although there are witnesses who claim to have seen this procession,
not all mortals are privileged to view it because Elisardo Becoña Churches in work "The Holy Company, The Urco and the Dead" explains that according to tradition, only certain "gifted" are free to view it: the children that the priest, by mistake, baptize using the oil the deceased, shall have, as adults, the ability to see the apparition. Others, no less believers in the legend, will have to settle for feel or intuit.

Fortunately for all those who see it, popular culture has left us a series of strategies that will get rid of that conviction , if encontrarno face to face with the Holy Company. And here I leave the most popular:

  • out of the way, not looking at them, and pretend not to see them.

  • accompanied by a black cat to throw the procession and run away (remember that the black cat is an animal very symbolic in many cultures)

  • Plot Circle of Solomon on the floor and get in until the Holy Company has ceased.

  • Make certain magical gestures as "fig figa or" or "horns."

  • Pray and do not hear your voice.

  • carry scapulars, sacred objects, garlic or horse chestnut.

  • Ultimately one can lie on the floor face down and wait for Santa Compaña The above does not happen.

THE LEGEND OF THE KING'S CAVE Cintolo

La Cueva del Rey Cintolo , is located in Mondoñedo ( Lugo ). is a set of large cavities , length approximately 6 km of galleries explored. Inside the cave, we see stalactites, stalagmites , among other geological formations . In the early explorations were conducted in the cave, they found human fossils , despite finding no evidence anywhere, that the cave was inhabited in prehistoric times.

Note: The picture was taken from the blog Tourism Galicia.

But think about this mysterious cave, more mysterious are the legends that haunt so enigmatic place. And here I tell you one:

"Before there Mondoñedo, nearby there was an area that was known as Bria, a beautiful castle and ruled the King Cintolo , possessor of great riches. This king had a beautiful daughter named Manfo , with which all the princes and great Gentlemen, wanted to marry. One day, arrived at the scene a young Count, Count Hollvrudet , to which all praise and with his kindness, charmed the king and his beautiful daughter.
But a few days, reached a new courtship, whose leader was a cruel man, he had a message for the king, in which he demanded the hand of his daughter to the King Tuba Oretón . This man wanted to be treated immediately, otherwise, would lead the castle and the princess.
face of this threat, the Earl of Hollvrudet, Tuba King challenged to a fight. But knowing the King Tuba the force was the young count, I knew I was in inferior conditions. So, as the King Tuba was a witch, met with his advisers also were, and together they prepared a grand ritual to avenge Cintolo.
A few minutes later a loud bang caused by a loud thunder, the city collapsed, burying all its inhabitants. Hollvrudet Count, who was watching the weapons, was unhurt and went in search of King Tuba, which went through with his sword.
Count trying to return to the castle, found that in its place was a huge hole, which came in search of his beloved. But both she and the castle and how Bria inhabitants had disappeared, and there was heard nothing of his whereabouts. "

Since then, people say that the cave is still the princess, which can not escape being guarded by a witch King Tuba, and that only leaves out a few minutes every night at 12. Minutes, which she uses to find his beloved by the surroundings. It is also said that if one happens to those hours for this mysterious place You can see it, but be careful not to be seen by the witch, as if this is another person hanging around there, capture, and made prisoner in the cave.
