Buddha Jewelry Bring A World of Splendor

The history of jewelry can never be complete without the worthy mention of the Buddhist brand. This jewelry type is well known for its rich historical antecedents and also for its usefulness in the modern fashion industry. There are some facts you must know about the Buddhist jewelry. There are numerous distinct designs of Buddhist jewellery to choose from. Having said that, what on earth is the correct model for yourself? Whilst most jewellery is usually a personalized preference, Buddhist jewelry is not just a style statement. As an alternative they should be used to assist heal the body and brain. 

The Buddhist Jewelry has a very unique historical background based on the great religion known as Buddhism. The religion originated from Buddha himself who held the view that perfect state of enlightenment could be attained through the suppression of earthly desires. Little wonder why most of the Buddhist jewelry products do have the image of Buddha on them. Meanwhile, the "Om" symbol is also associated with Buddhist jewelry. This symbol is actually found in both Buddhism and Hinduism. It signifies the beginning and end of all things in the universe. Many Om jewelry products also have the Buddhist undertone in them. A person with the most well-liked are necklaces, charms, earrings, or rings that display the wonderful lotus flower. Being a image of enlightenment the lotus has turn out to be an important image in Buddhist.

Buddhist jewelry can also come in the form of rings. In the same way wedding rings are used to remind couples of their sacred vows of loyalty and love, Buddhist jewelry rings remind wearers to be loyal to the teachings of Buddhism. The Happiness Ring, for instance, is engraved with the words "This will also change" in Hebrew. It reminds the wearer of the fleetingness of life and how the only permanent thing in the world is change. One of the secrets to a content and happy life is, according to Buddhism, perfect balance—the point where in one becomes awakened or enlightened to the truths of the universe and the interconnectedness of the world. This balance is said to come from having a peaceful and calm mind and soul, both of which can be achieved through a moral life, prayer, meditation and detachment. It is these ideals that Buddhist seek to remind believer and followers everyday.

One Day At A Time star Bonnie Franklin, 69, dies after battle with pancreatic cancer

One Day At A Time star Bonnie Franklin has died at 69.
The actress, who play divorced mom Ann Romano on the long-running sitcom, passed away at her home due to complications from pancreatic cancer, family members said in a statement.
Her family had announced she was diagnosed with cancer in September.
Franklin was a veteran stage and television performer before One Day At A Time made her a star.

Screen legend: Veteran stage and TV actress Bonnie Franklin, pictured in 2012, passed away Friday due to complications from pancreatic cancer, said her family

Developed by Norman Lear and co-created by Whitney Blake - herself a former sitcom star and single mother raising future actress Meredith Baxter - the series was groundbreaking for its focus on a young divorced mother seeking independence from a suffocating marriage.

It premiered on CBS in December 1975, just five years after the network had balked at having Mary Tyler Moore play a divorcee on her own comedy series, insisting that newly single Mary Richards be portrayed as having ended her engagement instead.

On her own in Indianapolis, Ann Romano was raising two teenage girls (played by Mackenzie Phillips, already famous for the film American Graffiti, and a previously unknown Valerie Bertinelli). 

Groundbreaking: The actress, pictured in 2011, was famous for playing a divorced mother on the sitcom One Day At A Time

Bertinelli said in a statement Friday: 'My heart is breaking. Bonnie has always been one of the most important women in my life and was a second mother to me.
'The years on One Day at a Time were some of the happiest of my life, and along with Pat [Harrington Jr.] and Mackenzie [Phillips] we were a family in every way.
'She taught me how to navigate this business and life itself with grace and humor, and to always be true to yourself. I will miss her terribly.'

Single matriarch: Franklin broke new ground with her character in the sitcom, about a young divorced mother seeking independence from her suffocating marriage

One Day At A Time ran on CBS until 1984, by which time both daughters had grown and married, while Romano had remarried and become a grandmother. During the first seven of its nine seasons on the air, the show was a Top 20 hit.

Like other Lear productions such as All In The Family and Good Times, One Day at a Time dealt with contemporary issues once absent from TV comedies such as premarital sex, birth control, suicide and sexual harassment - issues that had previously been overlooked by TV comedies whose households were usually headed by a husband and wife or, rarely, a widowed parent.

Meanwhile, the series weathered its own crises as Phillips was twice written out of the series to deal with her drug abuse and other personal problems.

It's a hit: One Day At A Time ran on CBS until 1984, by which time both daughters had grown and married, while Romano had remarried and become a grandmother. During the first seven of its nine seasons on the air, the show was a Top 20 hit.

Writing in her 2009 memoir High On Arrival, Phillips remembered Franklin as hardworking and professional, even a perfectionist.

'Bonnie felt a responsibility to the character and always gave a million notes on the scripts,' Phillips wrote. 'Above all, she didn't want it to be sitcom fluff - she wanted it to deal honestly with the struggles and truths of raising two teenagers as a single mother.'

In her 2008 memoir Losing It, Bertinelli noted that Franklin, just 31 when the show began, wasn't old enough to be her real mother.

Even so, wrote Bertinelli, 'within a few days I recognized her immense talent and felt privileged to work with her. ... She was like a hip, younger complement to my real mom.'

Like old times: Franklin appeared in an episode of Hot In Cleveland in 2011 with her on-screen daughter from One Day At A Time Valerie Bertinelli

The truth of One Day At A Time was brought home to Franklin when in 2005 she got together with both TV daughters for a One Day At A Time reunion special. She told both actresses, 'You are living, in a sense, Ann Romano's life - you are single parents raising teenage kids. That is shocking and terrifying to me.'

Franklin herself was married for 29 years. Her husband, TV producer Marvin Minoff, died in 2009.

Born Bonnie Gail Franklin in Santa Monica, California, she entered show business at an early age. She was a child tap dancer and actress, and a protege of Donald O'Connor, with whom she performed in the 1950s on NBC's Colgate Comedy Hour.

A decade later, she was appearing on such episodic programs as Mr. Novak, Gidge and The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

Long-running career: The California native entered show business at an early age as a child actress and tap dancer

On stage, Franklin was in the original Broadway production of Applause, for which she received a 1970 Tony Award nomination, and other plays including Dames At Sea and A Thousand Clowns.

Franklin's recent credits include appearances on The Young And The Restless and the TV Land comedy Hot in Cleveland, which again reunited her with Bertinelli, one of that show's regulars.

A private memorial will be held next week, her family said.

How Rachel Zoe is 'furious' that her 'backstabbing' former assistant's reality show will be aired directly after her own

Rachel Zoe is 'furious' at the Bravo executives who scheduled her former assistant's reality show to air directly after her own.
The celebrity stylist and her once-beloved right-hand man Brad Goreski have not been on speaking terms since they parted ways in 2011.
And a source close to her told RadarOnline that she thinks the timing of his show - now in its second season - is 'tacky and in poor taste.'

Hard feelings: Rachel Zoe is 'furious' at the TV execs who scheduled her former assistant Brad Goreski's reality show, It's a Brad, Brad World, to air directly after her own

The source said: 'Rachel just can't escape Brad!
'The two had parted on good terms initially, but she felt he was very shady about branching out on his own as a stylist and then getting his own reality show.'
On The Rachel Zoe Project, Mr Goreski told his boss that he was leaving the show to get out of the limelight - not to launch a solo career.

 

But she soon learned that not only had her former ally acquired her client Demi Moore as one of his own, but he was also launching a reality series on the very same network as hers.
The style expert apparently fears that by making her ex-assistant famous, she also created 'a backstabbing monster'.
The petite 41-year-old fumed during one episode: 'Of course within a week of us parting, [Brad] started to pursue our clients, going to all these events, and doing all these things he said he wasn't interested in.'

Former best friends: After Mr Goreski (left, with Rachel Zoe in 2008) parted ways with the stylist to launch his own career, she accused him of trying to steal her clients

For his part, Mr Goreski has denied her allegations of client thievery.
'That's not the truth,' he told The Daily Beast in 2011. 'And she knows that's not the truth.'
He continued: 'I didn't even say goodbye to a lot of her clients because I didn't want anything to be misconstrued as me soliciting anybody.'
But according to RadarOnline, Ms Zoe's suspicions about him are not unfounded.
