It’s April 8. 
Today is “Buddha Day”; he taught his followers to never be ignorant, hateful or angry.  Of those three, which is most important and why?

Trivial Fact of the Day:   Sadly, Buddha’s death—at age 80—was triggered by food poisoning, which he caught from eating a wild mushroom.

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”  --Gautama Buddha (teacher and founder of Buddhism)
Vocabulary Word of the Day:  probity (noun) – if you possess this noun, you show the world a lot of sound morals, good virtues, or solid integrity.  Who do you know who has the most probity?
