Causality- from the Dalai Lama- on Dependent Origination- " In the  Dependent Origination Sutra  Buddha states: If there is this, that ensues; Because this came into being, that came into being. It is thus: Due to ignorance volition arises… In other words, in order for a particular event or experience to take place, there must be a cause, and the cause itself must be existent.

My bio- Amba - mother, grandmother , jazz singer 9 years in Europe from age 18 to 27 - studied film production, Child development and psychology before doing a doctorate program in medical qigong therapy.
