Ajahn Brahmavamso ("Ajahn Brahm")
The Buddhist Society of WA has many of Ajahn Brahms talks which are lovely to sit and listen to, there are also many Youtube videos you can watch.
Reprieve for 140-year-old lobster
Craig has been exhibited to customers in an aquarium but its owners at Halu Japanese Restaurant & Grill in Brooklyn announced they would have the old 10kg crustacean shipped to Maine, where it is to be released into the sea.
Local law there forbids taking lobsters above a certain size.
"Kudos to Halu for allowing Craig to live out the rest of his days in his native habitat," Ingrid Newkirk, president of the animals rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), said.
PETA has organised a campaign to liberate restaurant lobsters and avoid them being thrown alive into boiling water.
According to invertebrate zoologist Jaren Horsley, lobsters have a "sophisticated nervous system" and feel "a great deal of pain" when cut or cooked alive.
