		<description><![CDATA[Once, long ago, Budai was traveling the dusty roads of his native Fenghua, in what is now the Zhejiang Province. Carrying his cloth bag, and his prayer beads, he would give candy to the children he met. His only payment, a penny, he would ask of his fellow monks, and other travelers he encountered on the way.

		<description><![CDATA[Long ago, when describing the known and unknown world, cartographers would sometimes say, &#8220;Here Be Dragons.&#8221; It was a warning, not just to sailors and kings, but to dreamers and thinkers too: &#8220;This is Christendom, the world as it is. And over there, next to that crease in the corner? That&#8217;s something else. Best to stay [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Lawrence Bienemann Japanese warrior folklore says that samurais were warriors who woke each morning saying, “Today is a good day to die.”  While they meant it literally, the rest of us might benefit from some sort of reminder to stay in our day.  But in this culture, the recognition that any day could be [...]]]></description>
