The Charter for Compassion is a collaborative effort to build a peaceful and harmonious global community. Bringing together the voices of people from all religions, the Charter seeks to remind the world that while all faiths are not the same, they all share the core principle of compassion and the Golden Rule. The Charter will change the tenor of the conversation around religion. It will be a clarion call to the world.

Na een paar heerlijke dagen logeren mijn zuster (@llaan op twitter) en bezoekjes bij mijn moeder, ben ik weer terug thuis in de Limousin. De reis alleen in de auto ging heel goed, geen files in Antwerpen of Parijs, en een grijze lucht -wat wel fijn is als je in de richting van de zon rijdt.

Suzan is goed aangekomen in Karmê Chöling. Zij komt dinsdag weer thuis.

We gaan onderweg eens meer. Vanmiddag rijden we samen naar Parijs, waar we morgen op het vliegveld afscheid nemen voor anderhalve week. Suzan gaat naar Karmê Chöling om te vergaderen, en ik rij door naar Nederland om familie te bezoeken. Donderdag rij ik in mijn eentje weer terug naar Frankrijk.

One way to do this involves Google Alert, Twitter (of course) and a handy service called Twitterfeed. With Google Alert you can create an automated search, for instance for the words "peace meditation action". Google Alert will do a search and send an email or create an RSS feed when it finds new results according to your search. The RSS feed we will use with Twitterfeed, but first make a new Twitter account that will post the updates. The advantage to do this with a new Twitter account is that everyone interested in the result of the Google Alert search can "Follow" this account.

So, let say for this example we create a Twitter account with the name "peace_action". After we have created this account, we go to Twitterfeed. You need to create an account at Twitterfeed, if you haven't got one yet.

In Twitterfeed create a new twitterfeed, linking the RSS feed from Google Alert that we have created to the new Twitter account.

Now "Follow" the newly created Twitter account, and you will get updates from Twitter user "peace_action" about content that is published on the web on this subject.

If you have a Twitter account, you can follow the "@shambhala_med" account. This account I have created using the setup as described here, with Google Alert searching for the words "shambhala" and "meditation".
