Tibetan girl came from Shangri-La


There are at least two "Shangri-Las," the mythical and one called Shangri-La, Yunnan, China along the Yangtze River, where marriages arranged by caring families are the norm. Where's Dong Dong?

Lost Horizon (James Hilton)
Shangri-La is a fictional place in Tibet's Kunlun Mountains [1], or mythological Kunlun, described in the 1933 novel Lost Horizon by the British author James Hilton.

Hilton portrays Shangri-La as a mystical, harmonious valley, gently guided from a Buddhist lamasery, enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountain [1].

In the novel, the people who live in Shangri-La are almost immortal, living hundreds of years beyond the normal lifespan and only very slowly ageing in appearance [possibly in our Hollow Earth, called Agartha, or on another dimension within this world].

Shangri-La has become synonymous with any earthly paradise, particularly a mythical Himalayan Buddhist utopia -- an enduringly happy land, isolated from the world.


Ancient Tibetan Buddhist scriptures mention Nghe-Beyul Khembalung [2], one of seven utopian beyuls which Tibetan Buddhists believe were established in the 9th century AD by Padmasambhava as hidden, sacred places of refuge for Buddhists during times of strife [3]. More

Catholic Church has lost IRELAND


Becoming a Buddhist in Ireland
(The Journal) Vajrashura is one of four full-time staff at the Dublin Buddhist Centre (DBC), which is a registered charity. Along with six other regular volunteers, they teach meditation to approximately 600 new students a year, and Buddhism to another 100. The DBC is the fulcrum of a wider community of 1,500 Buddhists in the Dublin area and has sister spiritual communities (or "Sanghas") in Killaloe, Clare, and Westport, County Mayo. Vajrashura grew up as Sean Boland in the west of Ireland, before coming across Buddhism in the TCD Meditation Society as a theoretical physics graduate. Now 39, he is a full-time Buddhist teacher and lives with two friends in a small Buddhist men’s community in Dublin 7. There, they meditate at 7:00 am each morning, breakfast together, and go off to work – in his case as manager of the DBC (jrnl.ie/3130287)

How the Catholic Church lost Ireland

Catholicism in Spain, Holy Week 2014
(Atlas Productions) July 12, 2025: How did Ireland go from one of the most devout Catholic nations in the world to a secular republic led by progressive values?

In 1979, over half the population turned out to greet Pope John Paul II. Just a generation later, Ireland legalized same-sex marriage, repealed its abortion ban, and witnessed a collapse in Catholic church attendance.

What happened? This video traces the dramatic decline of the Catholic Church’s power in Ireland—from its dominance in education, health, and politics to the wave of scandals that shattered its moral authority.

Through archival footage, personal stories, referendums, and cultural shifts, we explore how modern Ireland was born by challenging the institution that once defined it.

Greatest Jewish convert: Marilyn Monroe

Adz; Sheldon S., Shauna, Ananda (Dharma Buddhist Meditation), Wisdom Quarterly Wiki
Born Norma Jeane Mortenson, converted to Jewish atheism
I would do anything to become an American sex symbol and finally be loved, Daddy.

I'm an LA girl from an LA world.
Marilyn Monroe was born in Los Angeles, living in 12 foster homes and an orphanage, getting married at 16 to escape all that. She divorced then dated gaunt, Jewish, nebbish writer Arthur Miller (Death of a Salesman) and identified with Jewish people as a "dispossessed group."

She got engaged to Miller and wanted to convert to Judaism to make herself part of Miller's family [206]. She was instructed by Rabbi Robert Goldberg and converted on July 1, 1956 [205].


However pretty our food, it comes out the same.
Monroe's interest in Judaism as a religion was limited: She called herself a "Jewish atheist" and did not practice the faith after divorcing Miller, though she did retain some religious items [205].

Egypt lifted her ban after her divorce was finalized in 1961 [205]. Then she married baseball star and Italian Catholic Joe DiMaggio.

She's Catholic. Don't let anyone tell you different, like my sainted mother.
