She was only 12 years old and rode a bus to Jewish Hospital of St. Louis, where her tasks included wrapping syringes, delivering food trays to patients and pushing book carts. This was the start to a lifetime of giving back that would leave a mark on the St. Louis community.

In one of many examples, they were among the initial donors to the M. Randall Spitzer Leukemia Fund in 1990 at The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital. 3 SERVICE 2019 A Focus on Community Health ROLL HONOR When Matt Matthews was CEO of Crown Vision Center, his company started a program offering free eye care services to disadvantaged children in low-income areas of St. Louis. Vision exams were conducted at its stores and certain public schools, and glasses were provided if needed. This experience sparked a passion for community health that led Matt to join the board of The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Since 2015, Matt Matthews has been an active I couldn’t be more proud to work with an organization member of the Foundation’s board on a committee that that’s taking this on.” reviews grant applications.

Without this screening, they might not be able community health improvement and the elimination to escape a life of poverty. of health disparities in both urban and rural areas. Matt is both an advocate of and contributor to the fund. “The negative consequences are that children who can’t see clearly act out in class and are put in the back of the classroom so they don’t disturb others,” he says. “But that’s exactly where they shouldn’t be because “ I couldn’t be they are farther away from any images on the board they need to see.” more proud to Exposure to the problem led Matt, his daughter Jennifer “JJ” Scarbrough, and others to establish a work with an nonprofit called Kids Vision for Life St. Louis (KVFL), which provides free vision screenings, eye exams and organization prescription eyewear to underserved elementary school students through a mobile clinic van, school systems, that’s taking central locations and special events. “It was very familiar,” he says about his work with the this on.” Foundation. “It involved the same challenges of finding basics, of finding food, clothing and shelter, of trying “I was delighted to learn about the Foundation’s to stop the ripple effect of poverty.” initiatives to go in and impact public health in the inner city and near-county portions of St. Louis,” he says. “I’m so glad the challenge is being taken head-on and articulated as this is what we want to do. This is what we need to change. It’s very courageous and needed. 5 COURAGE 2019 A Fight of a Lifetime HONOR ROLL ROLL HONOR When Kevin Leahy watched his wife Anita’s courageous battle against colon-rectal cancer, he knew she wanted something positive to come out of her struggle.

  • The Decline of Buddhism in India
    The Decline of Buddhism in India It is almost impossible to provide a continuous account of the near disappearance of Buddhism from the plains of India. This is primarily so because of the dearth of archaeological material and the stunning silence of the indigenous literature on this subject. Interestingly, the subject itself has remained one of the most neglected topics in the history of India. In this book apart from the history of the decline of Buddhism in India, various issues relating to this decline have been critically examined. Following this methodology, an attempt has been made at a region-wise survey of the decline in Sind, Kashmir, northwestern India, central India, the Deccan, western India, Bengal, Orissa, and Assam, followed by a detailed analysis of the different hypotheses that propose to explain this decline. This is followed by author’s proposed model of decline of Buddhism in India. K.T.S. Sarao is currently Professor and Head of the Department of Buddhist Studies at the University of Delhi. He holds doctoral degrees from the universities of Delhi and Cambridge and an honorary doctorate from the P.S.R. Buddhist University, Phnom Penh.

Drake, Cynthia Beth (Ph.D., English) Dharma Kings and Flying Women: Buddhist Epistemologies in Early Twentieth-Century Indian and British Writing Thesis directed by Associate Professor Laura Winkiel The British fascination with Buddhism and India’s Buddhist roots gave birth to an epistemological framework combining non-dual awareness, compassion, and liberational praxis in early twentieth-century Indian and British writing. Four writers—E.M. Forster, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Lama Yongden, and P.L. Travers—chart a transnational cartography that mark points of location in the flow and emergence of this epistemological framework. To Forster, non- duality is a terrifying rupture and an echo of not merely gross mismanagement, but gross misunderstanding by the British of India and its spiritual legacy.

  • Reflections Volume 68
    1 Reflections Volume 68 International Catholic Family Newsletter AprilSept 2021 Are You Living‘ in the Flesh? The New Stigmata Saint of India Who Levitated The Silent Addiction to Technology The Real Easter Hallelujah Message Blessing to All: By: Richard Pickard “For those who live according to the flesh are concerned with the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the spirit with the things of the spirit.” (Romans 8:5) St. Paul was not talking about us acting as people created by God, but to those who have closed themselves to only matters of the flesh. He is talking about people who live only to satisfy their own desires. They care not for others, except for what others can do for them to satisfy their desires. In Philippians 1:21–24 we see a better example from St. Paul on the true meaning of Romans 8:5. “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart [that is, to die and leave behind the body] and be with Christ, for that is far better. But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.” Paul wants to help others understand the eternal and joyful salvation that Christ has to offer. Our life on earth is a series of frustrations, pains, sicknesses, hardships, and mental anguish when we live without the Spirit of Christ within us.

  • Origin and Nature of Ancient Indian Buddhism
    ORIGIN AND NATURE OF ANCIENT INDIAN BUDDHISM K.T.S. Sarao 1 INTRODUCTION Since times immemorial, religion has been a major motivating force and thus, human history cannot be understood without taking religion into consideration. However, it should never be forgotten that the study of religion as an academic discipline is one thing and its personal practice another. An objective academic study of religion carried many dangers with it. The biggest danger involved in such a study is that it challenges one’s personal beliefs more severely than any other discipline. For most people appreciation of religious diversity becomes difficult because it contradicts the religious instruction received by them. For people experiencing such a difficulty, it may be helpful to realize that it is quite possible to appreciate one’s own perspective without believing that others should also adopt it. Such an approach may be different but certainly not inferior to any other. It must never be forgotten that scholarship that values pluralism and diversity is more humane than scholarship that longs for universal agreement. An important requirement of objective academic study of religion is that one should avoid being personal and confessional. In fact, such a study must be based on neutrality and empathy. Without neutrality and empathy, it is not possible to attain the accuracy that is so basic to academic teaching and learning. The academic study of religion helps in moderating confessional zeal. Such a study does not have anything to do with proselyting, religious instruction, or spiritual direction. As a matter of fact, the academic study of religion depends upon making a distinction between the fact that knowing about and understanding a religion is one thing and believing in it another.
