A Hanging Monastery--tourists

These are outstanding pictures of the famous Hanging Monastery in Beijing China. It has been kept in condition by the monks and so on, who still carry out the mission. You can see the people visiting all around the stairs and walkways. Isn't this amazing? There are things inside that connect all world religions though it seems to be Chinese Buddhist, it is actually a mix. It is explained inside with icons and so on of the different religious cultures. The story behind it:
Excerpt:
Although the Hanging Monastery is located at the base of Hengshan, one of the most sacred mountains in Daoism (Taoism), it is in fact a Buddhist temple. At the same time, this unusual structure has shrines devoted to all of China ’s main religions—Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Sanjiao Dian (“Three Teachings Hall”), where a Buddhist Sakyamuni statue is flanked by Confucius on the left and Laozi on the right.

This unique monastery is located along the traditional route between the sacred Wutai Shan mountains to the south and Datong City to the north, making it convenient for passing pilgrims. This temple was suspended above a cliff to protect it from the frequently flooding waters of the river below (now controlled by a dam upstream) and from the snow, rain, and sunshine above. It is also said that the original planners located in this unusual location based on a Taoist concept; they desired that the monastery be as silent as possible, and this location shelters it from the ground-level sounds of the area

Consisting of a complex of 40 rooms linked together by mid-air corridors and walkways, this remarkable monastery appears to be glued to the side of ... this architectural wonder has been hanging here for over 1400 years. Known as Xuankong Si in Chinese—“ Temple Suspended in the Void”—this architectural wonder was build in 491 during the Northern Wei period. It has been renovated a number of times over the years, most recently in 1900, and much of the current structure dates from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Language Development as Prehistoric Beginnings Would Have

Cave people hear animals making noises amongst themselves, wanting to be in on the pleasure, they begin making noises amongst themselves, showing off they can do that too. This feels stupid before long, so the cave people start letting their sounds mean something. A small language begins. The languages are very involved even by Biblical times, seemingly at some point in time humans were more, not less, mentally advanced than we are today. If you were fighting nature among beasts and animals and when in time you find yourself with child, you would not have time to or enough other human subjects to develop a very large vocabulary, unless you have a highly developed brain, perhaps. More than what we are all using today, maybe like the select whizzes who make the news, of which there aren't so many.

Royal of England

As a granddaughter of the monarch in the male line, Elizabeth held the title of a British princess, with the style Her Royal Highness, her full style being Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth of York. At birth, she was third in the line of succession to the throne, behind her uncle, The Prince Edward, Prince of Wales, and her father. Although her birth did generate public interest, there was no reason to believe then that she would ever become queen, as it was widely assumed that the Prince of Wales would marry and have children of his own.^[11] In 1936, when her grandfather, the King, died and her uncle Edward succeeded, she was second in line after her father. Later that year, Edward abdicated and her father became king. Elizabeth became heiress presumptive, and was thereafter known as Her Royal Highness The Princess Elizabeth.

Elizabeth studied constitutional history with Henry Marten, Vice-Provost of Eton College.^[12] She learned modern languages, and still speaks French fluently.^[13] A Girl Guides company, the 1st Buckingham Palace Company, was formed specifically so Elizabeth could socialise with girls her own age. Later she was enrolled as a Sea Ranger.^[14]

In 1939, the Canadian government wanted Elizabeth to accompany her parents on their upcoming tour of Canada. However, the King decided against this, stating that his daughter was too young to undertake such a strenuous tour, which ended up being over a month long.^[15] Elizabeth had probably met her future husband, Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark in 1934 and 1937.^[16] After another meeting at the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth in July 1939, Elizabeth, though only 13 years old, fell in love with Philip, and they began to exchange letters.^[17]

World War II

In September 1939, with the outbreak of World War II, Elizabeth and her younger sister, Margaret, stayed at Balmoral Castle, Scotland, from September to Christmas 1939, until they moved to Sandringham House, Norfolk.^[18] From February to May 1940, they lived at Royal Lodge, Windsor, until moving to Windsor Castle, where they stayed for most of the next five years.^[19] The suggestion that the two princesses be evacuated to Canada was rejected by Elizabeth's mother; she said, "The children won't go without me. I won't leave without the King. And the King will never leave."^[20] The princesses remained at Windsor, where they staged pantomimes at Christmas in aid of the Queen's Wool Fund.^[21] It was from Windsor that Elizabeth, in 1940, made her first radio broadcast during the BBC's Children's Hour, addressing other children who had been evacuated from the cities.[
At the end of the war in Europe, on Victory in Europe Day, Elizabeth and her sister mingled anonymously with the celebratory crowds in the streets of London. She later said in a rare interview, "we asked my parents if we could go out and see for ourselves. I remember we were terrified of being recognised ... I remember lines of unknown people linking arms and walking down Whitehall, all of us just swept along on a tide of happiness and relief.

The couple are second cousins once removed through King Christian IX of Denmark and third cousins through Queen Victoria. Before the marriage, Ph

the Princess still required rationing coupons to buy the material for her gown, designed by Norman Hartnell.^[34] Elizabeth and Philip received 1347 wedding gifts from around the world.^[35] At the ceremony, Elizabeth's bridesmaids were her sister; her cousin, Princess Alexandra of Kent; Lady Caroline Montagu-Douglas-Scott; Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester; her second cousin, Lady Mary Cambridge; Lady Elizabeth Mary Lambart (now Longman), daughter of Frederick Lambart, Earl of Cavan; The Honourable Pamela Mountbatten (now Hicks), Philip's cousin; and two maternal cousins, The Honourable Margaret Elphinstone (now Rhodes) and The Honourable Diana Bowes-Lyon (now Somervell).^[36] Her page boys were her young paternal first cousins, Prince William of Gloucester and Prince Michael of Kent.^[36] In post-war Britain, it was not acceptable for any of the Duke of Edinburgh's German relations to be invited to the wedding, including Philip's three surviving sisters.^[37][38] Elizabeth's aunt, Princess Mary, Princess Royal, allegedly refused to attend because her brother, the Duke of Windsor (who abdicated in 1936), was not invited due to his marital situation; she gave ill health as the official reason for not atte

Despite the death of the Queen's grandmother Queen Mary on 24 March 1953, the Queen's coronation went ahead in Westminster Abbey on 2 June 1953, in accordance with Mary's wishes. The entire ceremony, save for the anointing and communion, was televised throughout the Commonwealth, and watched by an estimated 20 million people in Britain, with 12 million more listening on the radio.^[48] Elizabeth wore a gown commissioned from Norman Hartnell, which was embroidered with floral emblems for the countries of the Commonwealth: English Tudor rose, Scots thistle, Welsh leek, Irish shamrock, Australian wattle, Canadian maple leaf, New Zealand fern, South African protea, lotus flowers for India and Ceylon, and Pakistan's wheat, cotton, and jute

Talking Fido

Though the phenomenon is often undiscussed, some dogs may try to repeat human speech sounds, or are trained to do so. This kind of vocalization does not have a set meaning, and is unique to its situation. Recent examples have included a whimpering pug on the Late Show with David Letterman. A Hungarian Vizsla was also trained to speak a few words. The Vizsla can say "Food", "Help", and "Play" although these words often sound a little bit garbled and are sometimes hard to understand. This does not appear to be limited to any particular breed, though to quote trainer A.J. Haggerty:

"Generally, dogs that have a brachycephalic head — a wide head with a short muzzle — like the Bulldog, are good candidates for talking. They have cavernous mouths that make it easier for them to produce rounder sounds. I have found that Rottweilers are among the best talkers, because of the shape of their heads, and the fact that they have a high energy level. Terriers can also be good talkers, because they’re high energy dogs."
