Thank you for your continuing support in viewing the twelfth issue of our Internet Magazine, "The Buddhist Door".

"Buddhism in a Nutshell" Part X covers more topics about Cultivation. These topics include the methods and attitude in Cultivation. The section on "the Practice of Meditation" continues to Part IV in this issue. This wraps up the series on the popular topic. The new section "Zen Story" starts in this issue with a short story about how to pacify the mind. In the section on "Diamond Sutra", we present the commentaries on Chapters 6, 7 and 8. There is also a series of questions and answers on "Rebirth" by Ven. S. Dhammika, as well as an article on "Confused Mind, Clear Mind" by Reverend Eshin.

Acknowledgement for the sources of some contents: The contents on Cultivation in "Buddhism In A Nutshell" are based on the book "What Is Buddhism ?" by Hsu Heng Chi, translated by P.H.Wei, published by the Buddhist Association of San Francisco. The English translation of the Diamond Sutra is taken from "A General Explanation of the Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra by Dhyana Master Hsuan Hua", published by the Dharma Realm Buddhas Association, Incorporated, San Francisco, California.
