Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Matthieu Ricard

We are very much like birds that have lived too long in a cage to which we return even when we get the chance to fly away. We have grown so accustomed to our faults that we can barely imagine what life would be like without them. The prospect of change makes us dizzy. ― Matthieu Ricard

Het laatste #nomadenvolk van #Nepal, de #Raute, dreigt uit te sterven

De Nepalese overheid erkent de Raute als een bedreigde inheemse groep. Volgens een volkstelling in 2021 telde het land 566 inwoners van Raute-afkomst. Het Social Service Centre Nepal (Sosec), een organisatie die met de gemeenschap samenwerkt, meldt echter dat het aantal inmiddels is gedaald tot 137.

Del peligro de incendio al oro verde

Del peligro de incendio al oro verde
En los apacibles bosques del distrito de Nawalpur, en Nepal, se está produciendo una revolución que utiliza las herramientas más inverosímiles: trituradoras de ramas y pilas de compost. Un grupo de mujeres de Binayi Triveni está convirtiendo lo que antes era una de las mayores amenazas de la región en una prometedora oportun [...]

#Nepal #deportation

"When Narayan Kumar Subedi received a call from his daughter in the United States three weeks ago, he expected to hear news of his two children’s life abroad, perhaps even plans for a long-awaited reunion. Instead, he was told his 36-year-old son Ashish, a Bhutanese refugee resettled in the US, was being deported.

Ashish had been caught in a domestic dispute that led to police involvement. After several days in detention without proper legal support, he was caught up in Donald Trump’s migration crackdown and deported to Bhutan.

But what followed was a surreal sequence of events that left Ashish and nine other Bhutanese refugees stateless: abandoned by the country they once fled, expelled by the one they tried to call home, and detained by the one they sought refuge in.

(. . .)

Nepal has no comprehensive legal framework addressing refugee protection or statelessness. That leaves people like Ashish in legal limbo – neither welcomed back by Bhutan nor recognized as refugees in Nepal."

Does anyone know what those bugs are? since a couple of days, they are all over the beans.

Should I try to get rid of them, or do they help the plants? Maybe they do because it looks like there are less plant louses.

A New International Order?

Progressives&#8217; support for a multilateral world often ignores how much the emerging new world is similar to the old one, a point also missed by Jeffrey Sachs in speaking of a &#8220;new international order,&#8221; writes Asoka Bandarage. By Asoka Bandarage&#8230;
