There is a book by a lengendry Japanese swordsman known as Miyamoto Musashi who wrote a book called 'a book of 5 rings' which apparently refers to something in buddhism. I have tried Googling it but got nowhere does anyone here know what they are?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miyamoto_Musashi

The book is well worth reading BTW it has been translated into English and can be found as an e-book on the web.

A good friend of mine died last Tuesday. It happened very suddenly and very tragicly. I won't go into details. I didn't find out untill last night, and so missed the memorial that was held Wendsday.

I want to do something to remember my friend. Some small cerimony, some gesture of love and loss, to give me closure... I've known this guy since I was a sophmore in high school. He used to act in my film projects and steal my shoes at lunch. He'd only just graduated high school... people this young arn't supposed to die...

Sorry, I'm... it's hard to type when you're crying.

Any ideas of what I should do? My friend wasn't Christian and neither am I, so I'd like some non-religion-specific way to honor him.

And the first person who tells me he's gone to Hell because he didn't accept Jesus will get a beating so bad your ancestors will feel it. I am in a rather emotional, unstable mood right now and do not feel like argueing with anyone.

No one in the U.S. Yahoo Answers addressed my question so I want to pursue asking it in other communities like Mexico or Spain.

I once tried to see my aura and I saw something mostly blue and green.
Can normal people with no practice see their auras you think?

My husband has tried desperately to find a full time job for over 3 years now. There is very few jobs he's not able to do...fast paced, heavy lifting, and certain skilled trades. He is willing to learn & is taking some continuing ed. classes at the community college. Due to my health over the last few years, I've not been able to work for long at a time. I've been out a year and just applied to Bayada Friday (I'm a nurse). I will get the job if my references come back okay, otherwise I wont. He has many applications out there and needs one to finally say yes. Can you please add us to your prayer chain or prayer list in Sunday school? We are the Evers family in NC. Thank you!

There isn't a single solitary person who will answer this question who HAS died, COME BACK and can now tell us with any actual authority what the rest of us can expect.

It's all speculation and "the word" handed down by men from more than 1.75 millennia ago, looking for ways to subjugate the masses, especially women. Isn't there anyone with enough integrity to at least admit they don't KNOW anything for certain?
