Summary of one research interview carried out to summarize the information gained through the film interview, I found that to be a missionary is not what it appears to be. The life of a missionary is one of being totally involved in the life of those one is ministering to. The family of the missionary is also totally involved, as well. It involves living in a strange land, learning a strange language and learning strange customs, even though one is hoping to influence those around them in that foreign place. It often involves hardships that one does not expect. For instance, one cannot just open a can of vegetables for the evening meal. One might have to plow, plant, tend and harvest those vegetables before one can eat them. It is quite a difficult life to live, when one is mainly motivated to preaching the word of God.

He also observes the poignant problem of racism that arises here, which is also his reason for calling the new cult "white" Buddhism: in spite of the fact that the White Buddhists may adopt all the traditional Asian customs- from their name to the food they eat or to the rituals as such, they will still be part of the "mainstream of the white culture." (Allitt 1999, 459). That

Tales of a Shaman's Apprentice With the augmenting technological development at a rapid pace, today life offers no guarantees but innumerable luxuries.

Yanomamo people of Central Brazil are one of the oldest examples of the classic pre-Columbian forest footmen. They are believed to be the most primitive, culturally intact people in existence in the world. They are literally a Stone Age tribe. Cataloged by anthropologists as Neo-Indians with cultural characteristics that date back more than 8000 years. They have never discovered the wheel and the only metal they use is what has
Some Chinese researchers assert that Chinese flutes may have evolved from of Indian provenance. In fact, the kind of side-blown, or transverse, flutes musicians play in Southeast Asia have also been discovered in Africa, India, Saudi Arabia, and Central Asia, as well as throughout the Europe of the Roman Empire. This suggests that rather than originating in China or even in India, the transverse flute might have been adopted through the
In both Silence and the Mission, violence breaks out among two types of European foreigners: those who would favor religious priorities over economic ones (the priests), and those who would favor economic priorities over religious ones (the European tradesmen in Silence and the Portuguese and Spanish bounty hunters in the Mission.
