New Music Monday! Fifth Harmony's Deluxe "Reflection"

  
categories: ,
 
"I can feel a wave beginning behind this group," said The X Factor creator and judge Simon Cowell before Fifth Harmony performed their version of Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger" on the show last year. The music mogul knows talent and chemistry when he sees it. (This is, after all, the man who assembled One Direction.) Cowell decided that individual contestants Dinah Jane Hansen, Lauren Jauregui, Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, and Camila Cabello were too special to let go, so at the end of the show's Boot Camp week, the five young women became Fifth Harmony. With their show-stopping vocals, undeniable charisma, and genuine sisterly bond, the "fearsome fivesome" (as they became known) endeared themselves to viewers across the country. Get their new deluxe-edition "Reflection" today!

Tibetan Buddhist Nun Chodron


In 2003, the Venerable Thubten Chodron founded Sravasti Abbey, one of the only U.S. monasteries where women can devote themselves to Tibetan Buddhism and become fully ordained. According to Huffington Post, the abbey in 2014 consecrated Chenrezig Hall, a $2 million lodge that houses the dining facilities as well as libraries, workrooms, meeting rooms, chapel and guest quarters.
Most of the nuns are from the U.S. and converted to Buddhism as adults. She is the only female monastic to pen a book with the Dalai Lama — “Buddhism: One Teacher, Many Traditions” (Wisdom Publications, 2014) — and is admired for writing texts about practical ways people can apply the Buddha’s teachings to their daily lives, says the article.
