Ancient glass inspires science

The University of Adelaide
Friday, 22 November 2013


A 1700-year-old Roman glass cup is inspiring University of Adelaide researchers in their search for new ways to exploit nano-particles and their interactions with light.
Researchers in the University's Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS) are investigating how to best embed nanoparticles in glass - instilling the glass with the properties of the nano particles it contains.

"Nanoparticles and nanocrystals are the focus of research around the world because of their unique properties that have the potential to bring great advances in a wide range of medical, optical and electronic fields," says Associate Professor Heike Ebendorff-Heidepriem, Senior Research Fellow in the University's School of Chemistry and Physics. "A process for successfully incorporating nanoparticles into glass, will open the way for applications like ultra low-energy light sources, more efficient solar cells or advanced sensors that can see inside the living human brain."
"We will be able to more readily harness these nanoscale properties in practical devices. This gives us a tangible material with nanoparticle properties that we can shape into useful forms for real-world applications. And the unique properties are actually enhanced by embedding in glass."
The Lycurgus Cup, a 4th century cup held by the British Museum in London, is made of glass which changes colour from red to green depending on whether light is shining through the Cup or reflected off it. It gets this property from gold and silver nanoparticles embedded in the glass.

"The Lycurgus Cup is a beautiful artefact which, by accident, makes use of the exciting properties of nanoparticles for decorative effect," says Associate Professor Ebendorff-Heidepriem. "We want to use the same principles to be able to use nanoparticles for all sorts of exciting advanced technologies."

Nanoparticles need to be held in some kind of solution. "Glass is a frozen liquid," says Associate Professor Ebendorff-Heidepriem. "By embedding the nanoparticles in the glass, they are fixed in a matrix which we can exploit."

Associate Professor Ebendorff-Heidepriem is leading a three-year Australian Research Council Discovery Project to investigate how best to embed nanoparticles; looking at the solubility of different types of nanoparticles in glass and how this changes with temperature and glass type, and how the nanoparticles are controlled and modified.

The work builds on a past project with collaborators who are now at RMIT University.

"It was pure serendipity. We found by chance the right glass and the right conditions to embed nano-diamond into glass, creating a single photon source in a fibre form," says Associate Professor Ebendorff-Heidepriem. "Now we need to find the right conditions for other nanoparticles and other glasses."

Mass mob! Roman Catholics fill sparsely filled churches by promoting gatherings at old churches on Facebook and Twitter.


Playing off the idea of using social media to summon crowds for parties or mischief, mobs of Buffalo-area Roman Catholics have been filling pews and lifting spirits at some of the city's original, now often sparsely attended, churches. 

It works this way: On a given Sunday, participants attend Mass en masse at a church they've picked in an online vote and promoted through Facebook and Twitter. Visitors experience the architecture, heritage and spirit of the aging houses of worship and the churches once again see the numbers they were built for, along with a helpful bump in donations when the collection baskets are passed.

Our lady of perpetual help in Buffalo where the last mass mob met up to pray

"It's wonderful to see the old churches. They're beautiful," said Barbara Mocarski, who came from nearby Lackawanna to be part of the mob. While the sanctuary is largely well-preserved, areas of cracking plaster and water stains show a need for costly maintenance.
"Seeing the community together and caring about them, I was really happy to hear about it," Mocarski said.
Karen Huber of the suburb of West Seneca hoped the Mass mob idea would bring more young people back to church so that crowds would again be the rule, not the exception.
The eight-county Diocese of Buffalo, in a restructuring, has closed nearly 100 churches in recent years as attendance and financial support has declined and priests have retired. Days after the Mass mob came an announcement that 10 suburban Catholic schools would close after this school year.
Byrd, 46, plans about six Buffalo Mass mobs a year. Chris Clemens and Luke Myer made the 90-minute trip from Rochester and are already promoting the idea in their city, where they blog about upstate New York's religious and spiritual history and sites.
Byrd, an activist in the Broadway-Fillmore neighborhood where he grew up, said there has been interest from other cities, too, and he hopes the flash mob social media hook will resonate with a younger generation for whom the pull of family tradition has relaxed.
Said Byrd, 'They may think it's cool'

A Chinese perspective on the spring equinox

In Chinese thought, spring is associated with the direction east – the sunrise direction as Earth spins us toward the beginning of each new day. Everything you need to know: Vernal or spring equinox 2014

In 2014, the vernal or spring equinox for the Northern Hemisphere (autumn equinox for Southern Hemisphere) will arrive on March 20 at 11:57 a.m. Central Daylight Time for us in the central U.S.

In Chinese thought, spring is associated with the color green, the sound of shouting, the wood element, the climate of wind, things sprouting, your eyes, your liver, your anger, patience and altruism – and a green dragon. Not surprisingly, spring is also associated with the direction east, the sunrise direction as Earth spins us toward the beginning of each new day.

What’s this about? It’s a system called Wu Xing by the Chinese, which translates to the Five Phases or Five Elements. Phases describes it better, because it’s a description of nature, which as we all know never stops moving.

You can think of the Chinese system of Wu Xing as correlating to the seasons. We all experience the fact that things sprout and begin to grow (spring). They fire up or ignite or bloom (summer) and reach completeness (late summer). They begin to dry and wither (autumn). They rest (winter).

Also, in this system of thought, each season or “phase” has many other correspondences – for example, the direction east and a green dragon correspond to springtime. 

The Chinese use Wu Xing to describe interactions and relationships between many ordinary things all around us and within us.

They used this system to think about such diverse activities as music, military strategy and the martial arts, for example. They used it to help understand how to heal the human body.

If you learn the Chinese system of Wu Xing – Five Elements or Five Phases – you’ll begin to see it in many things. It’s a deep way of thinking about nature and can help you understand, for example, how profoundly the stillness, cold and quiet – the deep unknown – of winter has to happen first before spring (or new endeavors of any kind) can begin to sprout. In that way, it helped me embrace “winter” of all kinds, because winter promises spring.

Fly a kite! Wind is the climate of spring, in Chinese thought.
Shout! Let it go. Time to begin anew.

The Chinese understanding of nature’s cycle seems fanciful, but once you begin to consider the five elements or phases of Chinese philosophy, you see them cycling in and around everything.

All things sprout (spring), bloom (summer), reach completeness (late summer), become brittle and die (autumn), then rest (winter). You can recognize these phases in the course of relationships, over a workday, in the progress of a play or novel, in the process of aging, while eating a meal, in the growth of a garden, in a scientific or political or business enterprise, while playing a game.

When you are experiencing your life in a mindful way, you don’t have to push away or deny aspects of reality and you find you can learn from both the “good” and the “bad.” In this way, you stay in contact with reality and you become more honest about yourself, as well. Mindfulness also allows you to decide what and how you want to express or enact your own experience.

Jiddu Krishnamurti: Meditation (Part 1)

A Wholly Different Way of Living: San Diego, California 1974

28th February 1974 17th Conversation with Dr. Allan W. Anderson

'Meditation - 1'

A:
Mr Krishnamurti, in our last conversation we came almost up to the
point where we were about to begin another, on the subject of
meditation. And I was hoping that today we could share that together.

K:
Right, sir. Sir, I don't know if you are aware of the many schools of
meditation - in India, in Japan, in China, the Zen, and the various
Christian contemplative orders, those who pray endlessly, keep going day
after day; and those who wait to receive the grace of God - or whatever
they call it. I think, if I may suggest, we should begin, not with what
is the right kind of meditation, but what is meditation.

A Wholly Different Way of Living: San Diego, California 1974

28th February 1974 18th Conversation with Dr. Allan W. Anderson

'Meditation - 2'

A:
Mr Krishnamurti, we were discussing in our conversation last time
meditation. And just as we concluded you brought up the very beautiful
analogy from the flowering of a plant, and it struck me that the order
that is intrinsic to the movement of the plant as it flowers is a
revelatory image of order that you have been discussing. And we were
talking also about the relation of meditation to understanding on the
one hand and knowledge on the other, a distinction that's very, very
rarely made.

K: Yes.

A: Though in ordinary language we make the distinction perhaps unwittingly. It's there.

K: It's there.

A: We have the two words.

K: Quite.

Is it Possible to Live with Total Lucidity?
J. Krishnamurti & Dr. Huston Smith

Claremont College, California (1968)

Conversation
between Krishnamurti and Prof. Huston Smith, at the time, a professor
of religion at M.I.T. Prof. Smith begins the conversation with the
question 



'Is it Possible to Live with Total Lucidity?



' Huston Smith: 'I am Huston Smith, professor of philosophy at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, and I invite you to a conversation arranged by
the Blaisdale Institute of Claremont, California, with Krishnamurti, who
was raised by Annie Besant and the Theosophists to be a teacher, and
who, though he discarded the mantle of Theosophy, did indeed become a
sage of our century, one whose voice is heard as much by the youth of
today as throughout the world for the last sixty years.



'Krishnamurti,
maybe this morning I will have only one question which in one way or
another I will be coming back to in various ways. In your writings, in
your speaking, time and again you come back to this wonderful little
word, lucid and lucidity, but is it possible living as we are in this
confused and confusing world, torn by conflicting voices without and
conflicting tensions within, with hearts that seem star crossed and
tensions that never go, is it possible in such a life, in such a world,
to live with total lucidity? And if so, how?

Philosophy does not promise to secure anything external for man, otherwise it would be admitting something that lies beyond its proper subject-matter. For as the material of the carpenter is wood, and that of statuary bronze, so the subject-matter of the art of living is each person's own life.

—Epictetus

Marcus Aurelius, the Stoic emperor

Zeno of Citium

Stoicism

Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy founded in Athens by Zeno of Citium in the early 3rd century BC. The Stoics taught that destructive emotions resulted from errors in judgment, and that a sage, or person of "moral and intellectual perfection," would not suffer such emotions.

Stoics were concerned with the active relationship between cosmic determinism and human freedom, and the belief that it is virtuous to maintain a will (called prohairesis) that is in accord with nature. Because of this, the Stoics presented their philosophy as a way of life, and they thought that the best indication of an individual's philosophy was not what a person said but how they behaved.

Later Stoics, such as Seneca and Epictetus, emphasized that because "virtue is sufficient for happiness," a sage was immune to misfortune. This belief is similar to the meaning of the phrase "stoic calm," though the phrase does not include the "radical ethical" Stoic views that only a sage can be considered truly free, and that all moral corruptions are equally vicious.

From its founding, Stoic doctrine was popular with a following in Greece and throughout the Roman Empire — including the Emperor Marcus Aurelius — until the closing of all pagan philosophy schools in AD 529 by order of the Emperor Justinian I, who perceived their pagan character as being at odds with the Christian faith.

The Path to Awakening: How Buddhism's Seven Points of Mind Training Can Lead You to a Life of Enlightenment and Happiness



Shamar Rinpoche

Moderated by Marc Junkunc of Virginia Tech

March 12, 2014

4:30 p.m.-6:00 p.m.

Santa Monica





Tibetan
Buddhism's Seven Points of Mind Training have been the basis of a
transformative practice for close to a millennium. Many believe that
they cultivate the Buddha Nature inside each of us, reflecting on the
quest for peace, contentment and selflessness in a world filled with
turmoil and unrest.



For those who seek to learn about a
philosophy and practice aimed at spiritual renewal, Buddhist teacher
Shamar Rinpoche, author of "The Path to Awakening," will discuss Chekawa
Yeshe Dorje's important text on mind training at this Milken Institute
Forum. The insights contained in that text along with the meditation
Shamar Rinpoche teaches are considered means of deepening wisdom and
personal effectiveness. Among the questions the author may reflect on
are what is dharma, what is enlightenment and how do we incorporate
mindfulness into our everyday lives?

What is Meditation?

Conversation with Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, San Diego, California, 15th Feb. 1972.

Krishnamurti
in conversation with Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, a Tibetan Buddhist
meditation master and founder of the Naropa Institute in Colorado. 

Krishnamurti opens up the question of meditation, contrasting the system
of practice with living observation. A vital meditation is seen to be
essential for the orderly quietness of the mind, which is then dynamic
in action.
