Hostage to fortune

Article Abstract:

Boeing, US aircraft manufacturer, is anxious to gain a large share of the Chinese market. The Chinese government has the last say in Chinese airlines' purchases, and decisions are affected by political issues. The company, which is now in competition with Airbus Industrie (France), European aircraft manufacturer, which was given orders in April 1996, estimates that China will order aircraft to the value of 140 billion dollars up to 2015. Boeing has established relations with 23 Chinese airlines, and purchases components from China.

Publish or perish: Tibetan lama propagates Buddhism from the land of the free and home of the brave

Article Abstract:

In its Berkeley, CA facilities Dharma Publishing strives to preserve the cultural heritage of Tibetan Buddhism, succeeding in a phenomenal venture to collect and publish the entire canon and accompanying teachings. From the Tibetans who fled with the Dalai Lama in 1959, exiled lama Tarthang Tulku and his staff gathered scraps and strips of paper and assembled them to form 128 huge, beautiful volumes comprising the canon and 627 volumes of the Nyingma, ancient teachings. The next effort is to translate these to English.
