Zen Master Miao Tsan comes to Houston
To contact us Click HERE
Here is a release that is perfect for the stressed out Houston media types - remember to take a minute and relax/breathe:
Zen Master Miao Tsan, Abbot of Vairocana Zen Monastery and international lecturer and author, returns to Houston September 17 - 23 to launch his latest book, Intrinsic Awakened Nature (Bright Sky Press, Sept. 2012), which explores how many Western and Eastern religions share common principles despite the distinct ways in which they spread their teachings. He will present with such preeminent Western lecturers and educators as Episcopal priest and Jungian analyst J. Pittman McGehee D.D., and give public dialogues, dharma talks, workshops and programs at the Jung Center of Houston, Rothko Chapel, Memorial Hermann Hospital and C.T. Bauer College of Business University of Houston, among other Houston-area venues.
Venerable Master Miao Tsan’s multidisciplinary programs, free and open to the public, will include signings of Intrinsic Awakened Nature. His book provides important perspectives on the similarities in Western and Eastern pursuit of eternity, happiness and the ability to understand the meaning of life. In this new volume in a series of contemporary Zen studies, Master Miao Tsan shows readers a clear path to understanding the most important aspect of any spiritual teaching: At the source of any sound religion or ideology lies the one and only Universal Truth. While the superficial differences between religions have perplexed thinkers for centuries and left many modern people conflicted about which religion or ideology most deserves their loyalty, beneath their religious, linguistic and cultural differences lies a shared core value.
For additional information or to RSVP to any of the programs, please contact Jennifer Farmer, (281) 589-0810 or jfarmer@masterword.com.
* Full Calendar of Events/Houston Below
Zen Master Miao Tsan - Calendar of Events/Houston
September 17 – 23, 2012
When: Monday, September 17, 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Where: University of Texas Health Science Center, 6431 Fannin St.,
Rm. JJL 400 - Houston 77030
Program: "Master Your Living and Dying” - Lecture by Venerable Master Miao Tsan
Host: Alejandro Chaoul, Ph.D., Assistant Professor at the Integrative Medicine Program in the Department of General Oncology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Associate faculty at the McGovern Center for the Humanities and Ethics. Lunch will be available for the first 100 in attendance.
Although hospitals focus on healing, health care professionals are often called to serve patients facing death. Venerable Master Miao Tsan explains and illustrates how utilizing the Buddhist concept of impermanence can enable medical personnel to acknowledge that death is not a failure, but rather, the inevitable end of the physical body and the suffering inherent in each stage of life. Acceptance of this point of view opens the door for real compassion and loving kindness and provides deeper connection between patients and the medical community, greater peace for the dying, and a path to assuage the grief of patients’ families and loved ones.
When: Wednesday, September 19, 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Where: Christ Church Cathedral, 1117 Texas Avenue, Great Hall (Downtown)
Program: Zen Master Miao Tsan and J. Pittman McGehee, D.D., a noted Episcopal priest, Jungian analyst, author and lecturer will give their thoughts and definitions of the “Paradox of Love”. Is the Buddhist concept of compassion the same as the Western definition of love? What is the role of detachment? Is it a higher form of love than the more possessive Western romantic tradition? Does personal attachment bring suffering and can realization of our true essence transform it into happiness and universal and unconditional caring for all beings? Enlightening listeners with the wisdom of many traditions, these two masters will provide new insights on the most complex emotion.
Q&A and book signings of Intrinsic Awakened Nature (Venerable Master Miao Tsan) and The Paradox of Love (The Very Reverend J. Pittman McGehee) to follow.

Program: “Zen and the Art of Leadership”
Lecture by Venerable Master Miao Tsan
Venerable Master Miao Tsan explores the synergy between Zen and the common characteristics of successful leadership: self-discipline, responsibility, calmness in the face of challenge, and the ability to look at reality as it is. From Siddhartha to Steve Jobs, Zen principles have brought about a profound degree of personal transformation that can shape an individual into a natural leader, and Zen principles have led entrepreneurs and insightful corporate business people to greater success. Ten horses should pull in one direction: When leaders learn how to leave egocentric management style behind, teams can become productive and employees can reach their full potential.
When: Friday, September 21, Noon - 1 p.m.
Where: Memorial Hermann – Texas Medical Center, 6411 Fannin St.
Hermann Conference Center, Ground Floor of the Atrium

Lecture by Venerable Master Miao Tsan
Venerable Master Miao Tsan will share ways that healthcare professionals can deal with stress in their daily work.

This practical session applicable is to all involved in healthcare--physicians, nurses, therapists, technicians, and hospital support staff.
When: Friday, September 21, 7p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

Master Miao Tsan will explore the fundamental nature of Oneness and the way material attachments prevent our awareness of it.

KHOU 11 weather team shake up
To contact us Click HERE
I found out last week there are some big changes coming to the KHOU 11 weather team just in time for the height of hurricane season.
Chita Johnson moves from the noon and 4pm shows to the mornings (still will do noon).
David Paul moves from mornings to the 4 and 5 pm shows.
Gene Norman gives the 5pm to Paul and will handle the 6 and 10pm shows.
Mario Gomez will still handle the weekend shows.
Out of the changed schedules, David Paul has been in the affected shift the longest. According to his bio, Paul has been at the Houston Belo station since 1996. Gene Norman joined KHOU in 2008. Chita Johnson came to Houston in 2011.
Now I am no forecaster obviously (there is no degree from Mississippi State University on my wall), but I always figured Chita Johnson would end up on a morning show either at KHOU or somewhere else. Her bubbly personality fits perfectly with mornings.
A KHOU 11 spokesperson told me the new weather schedules go in effect September 3rd.

The Daily Buzz grabs Morgahn Miller from KIAH 39 NewsFix
To contact us Click HERE
KIAH 39 NewsFix News Content Coordinator Morgahn Miller jumps from behind the scenes to on air for nationally syndicated The Daily Buzz. I've covered some big TV market jumps here before, but this one might beat them all.
Miller is the social media producer for the show. She says the show really does listen to the audience.
"I give viewers a heads up on whats going on online (youtube, yahoo, twitter, facebook, etc)," Miller told mikemcguff.com. "I'm the liason between viewers and the show to make sure there voices are heard."
And being all about social media, soon Miller will also host an online show called Morgahn In The Morning that will highlight web trends.
"I was told I had to work in Podunk, USA for a year before being able to succeed on camera," Miller told me. "I didn't listen. Now I'm on a national morning television show. Make your own rules"
Miller is not the only former Houston TV staffer who now works at Orlando, Florida based The Daily Buzz. Former 39 KIAH news director KyAnn Lewis and KPRC 2 promotions producer JL Watkins are also with the show.
And we can't forget the other former Houstonian (Kingwood resident too) Lisa Spooner. Spooner joined TDB from FOX 4 WFTX Fort Myers, Cape Coral and Naples. You might recognize Spooner as Miss Texas 2002 in the Miss America Pageant.
You can watch The Daily Buzz in Houston on KUBE 57 from 6 to 7am. To see other city listings, click here.
