The Buddha is staying in Indasala Cave. The sutta identifies the exact location of this cave on Mount Vediya, near a village called Ambasanda, east of Rajagaha, in the country of Magadha.

The trek was arduous and cold despite the layers and layers of clothing Sage wore. She wasn't even sure if Gu Mi knew where she was going. They had been walking for hours in quiet and there was nothing but snow white wasteland for miles. Her boots, meant for such cold weather, didn't keep her toes from feeling numb. She was certain her nose and cheeks were a bright shade of red. Sage never thought she'd visit Siberia. She knew now that she didn't want to, either. "Please tell me we're getting

The first four are considered proper (Brahma, Daiva, Arsha, Prajapatya), whereas the last four are considered not to have religious sanctions (Gandharva, Asura, Rakshasa, Paishacha).

“Is there a life after death?” (Garder 13) This question made me think of all the possibilities of life after death. There are many different beliefs, and then there is my own. I will share the beliefs of Christians, Buddhists and myself. I will start off with the beliefs of Christians. Christians believe in a God, and they generally believe after you die, you get sent to Heaven or Hell. Some Christians believe that you go into a state of “soul sleep” which is the belief that you sleep unknowingly

Haymin Ståford was born in 1100 CE in Växjö, Sweden. He was a half blood: his mother, Elsa, was a Muggle, and his father, Olof, was a wizard. They were both loving parents and they never quarreled in his presence. He got along well with the children in his neighbourhood.
