To All Tampa/St Pete/Sarasota Film Radicals: The Tampa Bay Area really needs a film discussion group that has a little more meatiness than showing up for the popular films and talking about whatever afterward.

ZEN Zen Wisdom is thought to be the most refined spiritual possession of Asia, with its origin in India, its development in China, and its practical application in Japan. Wherever there is poetic action, a religious aspiration, a heroic thought, there is Zen. Zen is direct- goes straight to the point- requires no mediator. It is the greatest gift the Orient can make to the Occident. ZAZEN: Formal Zen meditation. Meditation has been said to occupy in Buddhism the place of prayer in other religio …

This group is for those advocating the philosophy of libertarianism or wishing to learn about it. TAL is n …

However, this is not a ‘hook-up’ or even specifically a dating type of group – the main focus will still be person …

If you have a critical point of view which way this country goes than we have a lot to learn. The metaphor people trying to communicate it via their own controlled media has no merits to make you go directions of Freedom.

Or maybe you find yourself “losing your religion" just like that classic R.E.M. song says. "I cant Live... with or without you" might perfectly describe your relationship with the institutional church... But in any case, you definitely feel emotionally distant from the Christian spirituality and Sunday worship y …
