Chinese Studies & New Learning Tools Discovered!

Began the New Year delving into Chinese studies. What better way to begin the Chinese New Year! I found some great online resources. The first two of which provide online Chinese Study through multimedia... Awesome! I've been searching for tools like these for years! Now I don't have to sign up for Chinese class this semster! I can stay at my computer, peering over the screen at my beautiful view of the Taidong mountains and skip the drive to the University. Spread the word and share any cool tools you find!

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 18. Conclusion--The Perfection of Renunciation http://www.asitis.com/18/51-53.html

Being purified by his intelligence and controlling the mind with determination, giving up the objects of sense gratification, being freed from attachment and hatred, one who lives in a secluded place, who eats little and who controls the body and the tongue, and is always in trance and is detached, who is without false ego, false strength, false pride, lust, anger, and who does not accept material things, such a person is certainly elevated to the position of self-realization.
