[Du lịch] Viếng Thiền Viện Trúc Lâm Chánh Giác - Tiểu Ấn Độ ở Việt Nam
Thiền viện Trúc Lâm Chánh Giác
Thiền viện Trúc Lâm Chánh Giác được Ủy ban Nhân dân tỉnh Tiền Giang chấp thuận cho khởi công xây dựng ngày 28 tháng 4 năm 2012 (mùng 8 tháng 4 âm lịch năm Nhâm Thìn), theo mô hình truyền thống của hệ phái Trúc Lâm Yên Tử trực thuộc danh bộ của Giáo hội Phật giáo Việt Nam tỉnh Tiền Giang, trên diện tích đất được giao trên 30 ha, và thời gian dự định hoàn thành là 5 năm (2012 - 2016) .
Khu đất rộng, nơi thiền viện tọa lạc, do một số Phật tử thành tâm hiến cúng. Do toàn bộ diện tích xây dựng các công trình có cao độ thấp hơn mặt đường giao thông từ 2,5 - 3 mét, vì vậy công việc đầu tiên là phải đắp đê bao xung quanh với chiều cao 3,7 m để bơm cát vào để đạt đến cao trình xây dựng +3 m. Bốn đoạn đê bao ấy có tổng chiều dài 2.200 m với lượng đất đào đắp là 109.890 m³. Sau đó, khối lượng cát lấp để tạo mặt bằng xây dựng cũng nhiều không kém, với hơn 100.000 m³.
Bên cạnh việc hiến đất, các Phật tử còn hiến cúng nhiều cây đại thụ để tạo cảnh quan, và nhiều khối lượng đá tảng (khoảng 2.500 tấn, mỗi tảng nặng từ trên 1 - 20 tấn, được sà lan chuyển về từ núi Thị Vải [thuộc tỉnh Bà Rịa - Vũng Tàu]) nhằm phục vụ cho việc xây dựng các hòn non bộ và trang trí...
Ngoài ra, các Phật tử còn hiến cúng pho tượng Phật Thích Ca Mâu Ni (đã an vị trong chánh điện ngày 20 tháng 10 năm 2013) được tạc bằng đá ngọc, thếp vàng, cao 4,5 m, nặng trên 30 tấn, do các nghệ nhân Myanmar chế tác....
Đại đức Thích Trúc Thông Kim hiện là Phó ban thường trực phụ trách xây dựng), thì Thiền viện Trúc Lâm Chánh Giác được thiết kế gần giống với Thiền viện Trúc Lâm ở Đà Lạt nhưng có quy mô lớn hơn. Đặc biệt, hệ thống đê bao xung quanh thiền viện có khả năng ngăn được nước lũ dâng trong vài chục năm tới.
Và theo định hướng quy hoạch, Thiền viện có 2 khu vực biệt lập là nội viện và ngoại viện. Trong đó khu ngoại viện bao gồm nhiều hạng mục: Chánh điện, Tổ đường, Thiền đường, Giảng đường, Nhà Tăng ngoại viện, Trai đường, Thư viện, Nhà Trưng bày, Lầu chuông, Lầu trống, Nhà khách cư sĩ nam, Nhà khách cư sĩ nữ...với tổng diện tích hơn 47.000 m²; khu nội viện có tổng diện tích gần 16.000 m², bao gồm: 4 Tăng đường, 1 Thiền đường và 10 Thất chuyên tu.
Sau nhiều tháng khẩn trương và vất vả thi công, đến nay thiền viện đã cơ bản hoàn thành một số hạng mục như: Chánh điện (diện tích 1.000 m², sức chứa trên 3.000 người), Lầu chuông, Gác trống, Nhà khách, Khu tịnh thất hòa thượng... Trong tương lai gần, một khu vực rộng 3.600 m² cũng sẽ được bố trí để xây dựng Tứ động tâm, bao gồm: Lâm Tì Ni (nơi Phật Thích Ca Mâu Ni đản sinh), Bồ Đề Đạo Tràng (nơi Phật Thích Ca Mâu Ni thành đạo), Lộc Uyển (nơi Phật Thích Ca Mâu Ni chuyển pháp luân) và Câu Thi Na (nơi Phật Thích Ca Mâu Ni nhập niết bàn).

A Writer at Work / The Legend of Annie Christmas / When the Mountain Fell
Amanda Randolph (September 2, 1896 -- August 24, 1967) was an American actress and singer. She was a native of Louisville, Kentucky, and was the older sister of actress Lillian Randolph. She was the first African-American performer to star in a regularly scheduled network television show, appearing in DuMont's The Laytons. This short-lived program was on the air two months in 1948.
Her film career began in 1936 with Black Network. She went on to do several Oscar Micheaux films, among them: Swing, Lying Lips and The Notorious Elinor Lee. Broadway roles in The Male Animal and Harlem Cavalcade soon followed. Around the same time, Randolph broke into radio, helped by people she met at The Clam House, who got her a CBS audition. She began working on various radio shows: Young Dr. Malone, Romance of Helen Trent and Big Sister. Amanda went on to become a regular cast member on Abie's Irish Rose, Kitty Foyle, and Miss Hattie with Ethel Barrymore, where she had the role of Venus. Amanda also appeared on Rudy Vallée's radio show and on Grand Central Station.
She continued working in films to the 1960s, and was one of the first black women to become a comedy favorite on television. She briefly starred in her own daytime musical TV program for DuMont, Amanda, during the 1948 - 1949 season, making her the first African-American woman with her own show on daytime television.[55][56] Randolph did not settle in California until 1949, when she earned a role in Sidney Poitier's No Way Out. Even though she was working in New York and her younger sister, Lillian, had been working in Hollywood for some time, newspapers often got the two sisters mixed up, doing a story on Amanda but with a photo of Lillian and vice-versa. She then became a regular on the top early black TV show of the decade, Amos 'n' Andy, as Sapphire's mother, Ramona Smith, from 1951 to 1953; she also played the same role for the show's radio version from 1951 to 1954.[57] Amanda was now working with her sister, Lillian, who played Madame Queen on the radio and television shows.[15] She was the star and titular character in Beulah from 1953 to 1954, assuming the role from Lillian. Randolph also did some work for radio in 1956, playing the role of the folk heroine Annie Christmas in The Legend of Annie Christmas. She also had a recurring role as Louise the maid on CBS's The Danny Thomas Show and appeared in the show's 1967 reunion. (The show was aired shortly after her death.) She guest starred on the NBC anthology series, The Barbara Stanwyck Show. In 1955, Amanda opened a restaurant in Los Angeles called Mama's Place, where she did the cooking.
Despite all her film and television work, Amanda found herself slightly short of the requirements for a much-needed Screen Actors Guild pension at age 70; both sisters struggled for roles in the late 1930s. A role was written for her to gain eligibility.
Suspense: I Won't Take a Minute / The Argyle Album / Double Entry
The program's heyday was in the early 1950s, when radio actor, producer and director Elliott Lewis took over (still during the Wilcox/Autolite run). Here the material reached new levels of sophistication. The writing was taut, and the casting, which had always been a strong point of the series (featuring such film stars as Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, Henry Fonda, Humphrey Bogart, Judy Garland, Ronald Colman, Marlene Dietrich, Eve McVeagh, Lena Horne, and Cary Grant), took an unexpected turn when Lewis expanded the repertory to include many of radio's famous drama and comedy stars — often playing against type — such as Jack Benny. Jim and Marian Jordan of Fibber McGee and Molly were heard in the episode, Backseat Driver, which originally aired February 3, 1949.
The highest production values enhanced Suspense, and many of the shows retain their power to grip and entertain. At the time he took over Suspense, Lewis was familiar to radio fans for playing Frankie Remley, the wastrel guitar-playing sidekick to Phil Harris in The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show. On the May 10, 1951 Suspense, Lewis reversed the roles with Death on My Hands: A bandleader (Harris) is horrified when an autograph-seeking fan accidentally shoots herself and dies in his hotel room, and a vocalist (Faye) tries to help him as the townfolk call for vigilante justice against him.
With the rise of television and the departures of Lewis and Autolite, subsequent producers (Antony Ellis, William N. Robson and others) struggled to maintain the series despite shrinking budgets, the availability of fewer name actors, and listenership decline. To save money, the program frequently used scripts first broadcast by another noteworthy CBS anthology, Escape. In addition to these tales of exotic adventure, Suspense expanded its repertoire to include more science fiction and supernatural content. By the end of its run, the series was remaking scripts from the long-canceled program The Mysterious Traveler. A time travel tale like Robert Arthur's The Man Who Went Back to Save Lincoln or a thriller about a death ray-wielding mad scientist would alternate with more run-of-the-mill crime dramas.
Eugene Frediani
Eugene Frediani is the son of Italian immigrants and a World War II Veteran who was drafted into the United States Army and served for four years. Frediani was dispatched to the South Pacific with the 70th A.A.A. Regiment and traveled extensively throughout that area on various missions. He was trained as a radio operator and was promoted to the rank of Buck Sergeant due to his exemplary conduct in Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands. The 70th Regiment relieved Marine artillery batteries during the battle and suffered many casualties during this conflict. Frediani also made military tours of Bougainville Island and Lae in Papua New Guina and the Philippines. He received six medals for his time served in the Army. After the war, Frediani married his sweetheart and raised a son. Later in life he served as the Chaplain of his local Veteran of Foreign Wars Association and was a respected member of his community.

You Bet Your Life: Secret Word - Sky / Window / Dust
Julius Henry Groucho Marx (October 2, 1890 -- August 19, 1977) was an American comedian and film and television star. He is known as a master of quick wit and widely considered one of the best comedians of the modern era. His rapid-fire, often impromptu delivery of innuendo-laden patter earned him many admirers and imitators. He made 13 feature films with his siblings the Marx Brothers, of whom he was the third-born. He also had a successful solo career, most notably as the host of the radio and television game show You Bet Your Life. His distinctive appearance, carried over from his days in vaudeville, included quirks such as an exaggerated stooped posture, glasses, cigar, and a thick greasepaint mustache and eyebrows. These exaggerated features resulted in the creation of one of the world's most ubiquitous and recognizable novelty disguises, known as Groucho glasses, a one-piece mask consisting of horn-rimmed glasses, large plastic nose, bushy eyebrows and mustache.
Groucho Marx was, and is, the most recognizable and well-known of the Marx Brothers. Groucho-like characters and references have appeared in popular culture both during and after his life, some aimed at audiences who may never have seen a Marx Brothers movie. Groucho's trademark eye glasses, nose, mustache, and cigar have become icons of comedy—glasses with fake noses and mustaches (referred to as Groucho glasses, nose-glasses, and other names) are sold by novelty and costume shops around the world.
Nat Perrin, close friend of Groucho Marx and writer of several Marx Brothers films, inspired John Astin's portrayal of Gomez Addams on the 1960s TV series The Addams Family with similarly thick mustache, eyebrows, sardonic remarks, backward logic, and ever-present cigar (pulled from his breast pocket already lit).
Alan Alda often vamped in the manner of Groucho on M*A*S*H. In one episode, Yankee Doodle Doctor, Hawkeye and Trapper put on a Marx Brothers act at the 4077, with Hawkeye playing Groucho and Trapper playing Harpo. In three other episodes, a character appeared who was named Captain Calvin Spalding (played by Loudon Wainwright III). Groucho's character in Animal Crackers was Captain Geoffrey T. Spaulding.
On many occasions, on the 1970s television sitcom All In The Family, Michael Stivic (Rob Reiner), would briefly imitate Groucho Marx and his mannerisms.
Two albums by British rock band Queen, A Night at the Opera (1975) and A Day at the Races (1976), are named after Marx Brothers films. In March 1977, Groucho invited Queen to visit him in his Los Angeles home; there they performed '39 a capella. A long-running ad campaign for Vlasic Pickles features an animated stork that imitates Groucho's mannerisms and voice. On the famous Hollywood Sign in California, one of the Os is dedicated to Groucho. Alice Cooper contributed over $27,000 to remodel the sign, in memory of his friend.
In 1982, Gabe Kaplan portrayed Marx in the film Groucho, in a one-man stage production. He also imitated Marx occasionally on his previous TV sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter.
Actor Frank Ferrante has performed as Groucho Marx on stage for more than two decades. He continues to tour under rights granted by the Marx family in a one-man show entitled An Evening With Groucho in theaters throughout the United States and Canada with piano accompanist Jim Furmston. In the late 1980s Ferrante starred as Groucho in the off-Broadway and London show Groucho: A Life in Revue penned by Groucho's son Arthur. Ferrante portrayed the comedian from age 15 to 85. The show was later filmed for PBS in 2001. Woody Allen's 1996 musical Everyone Says I Love You, in addition to being named for one of Groucho's signature songs, ends with a Groucho-themed New Year's Eve party in Paris, which some of the stars, including Allen and Goldie Hawn, attend in full Groucho costume. The highlight of the scene is an ensemble song-and-dance performance of Hooray for Captain Spaulding—done entirely in French.
In the last of the Tintin comics, Tintin and the Picaros, a balloon shaped like the face of Groucho could be seen in the Annual Carnival.
In the Italian horror comic Dylan Dog, the protagonist's sidekick is a Groucho impersonator whose character became his permanent personality.
The BBC remade the radio sitcom Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel, with contemporary actors playing the parts of the original cast. The series was repeated on digital radio station BBC7. Scottish playwright Louise Oliver wrote a play named Waiting For Groucho about Chico and Harpo waiting for Groucho to turn up for the filming of their last project together. This was performed by Glasgow theatre company Rhymes with Purple Productions at the Edinburgh Fringe and in Glasgow and Hamilton in 2007-08. Groucho was played by Scottish actor Frodo McDaniel.
Bad Ass 2: Bad Asses
Danny Trejo and Danny Glover deliver twice the Bad Ass action in this hard-hitting sequel to the original cult favorite! Vietnam vet Frank now runs an East L.A. community center where he trains young boxers to survive in and out of the ring. But when his prize student turns up dead, he teams up with his old pal Bernie to take matters into their own fists and prove that justice never gets old.
Calling All Cars: Disappearing Scar / Cinder Dick / The Man Who Lost His Face
The radio show Calling All Cars hired LAPD radio dispacher Jesse Rosenquist to be the voice of the dispatcher. Rosenquist was already famous because home radios could tune into early police radio frequencies. As the first police radio dispatcher presented to the public ear, his was the voice that actors went to when called upon for a radio dispatcher role.
The iconic television series Dragnet, with LAPD Detective Joe Friday as the primary character, was the first major media representation of the department. Real LAPD operations inspired Jack Webb to create the series and close cooperation with department officers let him make it as realistic as possible, including authentic police equipment and sound recording on-site at the police station.
Due to Dragnet's popularity, LAPD Chief Parker became, after J. Edgar Hoover, the most well known and respected law enforcement official in the nation. In the 1960s, when the LAPD under Chief Thomas Reddin expanded its community relations division and began efforts to reach out to the African-American community, Dragnet followed suit with more emphasis on internal affairs and community policing than solving crimes, the show's previous mainstay.
Several prominent representations of the LAPD and its officers in television and film include Adam-12, Blue Streak, Blue Thunder, Boomtown, The Closer, Colors, Crash, Columbo, Dark Blue, Die Hard, End of Watch, Heat, Hollywood Homicide, Hunter, Internal Affairs, Jackie Brown, L.A. Confidential, Lakeview Terrace, Law & Order: Los Angeles, Life, Numb3rs, The Shield, Southland, Speed, Street Kings, SWAT, Training Day and the Lethal Weapon, Rush Hour and Terminator film series. The LAPD is also featured in the video games Midnight Club II, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, L.A. Noire and Call of Juarez: The Cartel.
The LAPD has also been the subject of numerous novels. Elizabeth Linington used the department as her backdrop in three different series written under three different names, perhaps the most popular being those novel featuring Det. Lt. Luis Mendoza, who was introduced in the Edgar-nominated Case Pending. Joseph Wambaugh, the son of a Pittsburgh policeman, spent fourteen years in the department, using his background to write novels with authentic fictional depictions of life in the LAPD. Wambaugh also created the Emmy-winning TV anthology series Police Story. Wambaugh was also a major influence on James Ellroy, who wrote several novels about the Department set during the 1940s and 1950s, the most famous of which are probably The Black Dahlia, fictionalizing the LAPD's most famous cold case, and L.A. Confidential, which was made into a film of the same name. Both the novel and the film chronicled mass-murder and corruption inside and outside the force during the Parker era. Critic Roger Ebert indicates that the film's characters (from the 1950s) represent the choices ahead for the LAPD: assisting Hollywood limelight, aggressive policing with relaxed ethics, and a straight arrow approach.
