What language is this? Some sites say that Tim Roth's tattoo is written in Hindi, and means "compassion". It does not look anything like Hindi to me. Bengali perhaps?

Avalokiteshvara is the patron deity of Tibet. When this guy was
confronted with the suffering of the world he was filled
with such compassion that his head burst into eleven heads, and from his body sprang a
thousand helping arms and hands, like a badass empathetic superhero. I didn't count the hands though.

Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.
Everybody at the club has nothing but the highest respect and praise for what has been achieved this year by not just the 1sts, but all the senior teams, and one poor result isn’t going to change that – the welcome at Upritchard Park for the returning players is testament to that. With that in mind, the players now need to put this disappointment behind them and provide the best possible response against a struggling Portadown side at home in the league next Saturday.

In front of a big crowd at Chambers Park on Saturday afternoon Dundalk delivered a stunning and ruthless display to see off the challenge of Bangor and capture the All Ireland Junior Cup title for the very first time.
Three first half tries had them firmly in control at 19-0 ahead having played with the elements at the Portadown venue during the first half and while the wind dropped somewhat after half time the Dundalk intensity most certainly didn’t as they cut loose scoring five more tries.
Dundalk returned to a heroes welcome at their Mill Road clubhouse on Saturday night after a display of pure brilliance throughout the afternoon.
Precision, pace and skill from the Louth men from start to finish left Bangor playing second fiddle for long periods.
Two lions of valorous manhood (Ram & Lakshman), Joyously followed the Sage (Vishwamitra) and cast out fear from him.
Fount of compassion and tranquil courage, creators and creations of the vast universe.
Eyes red-rimmed as the lotus, wide and strong chested.
Luminously blue as the lotus, supple and tall as the palm.
How lustrously the yellow becomes them! How well the mighty bows enhance their strong arms.
Shri Ram asked to Brahmarshi Vishwamitra, “Revered Guru, this fearsome place is impassable, and whose are these strange foot-prints?”
Vishwamitra replied to Ram, “Of demonness Tadaka.”
Shri Ram queried to Sage, “Tadaka!”
Guru Vishwamitra told, “Yes, She rules over this vast rocky wasteland and no being escapes with its life from here. Once upon a time, this area was prosperous and peopled. Kald and Karush were the two beautiful cities here. Sage Agastya cursed Tadaka, she became demonness and with her rampaging son Mareech, she destroyed the cities. She has the strength of a thousand elephants.”
Maharshi Vishwamitra further told to Shri Ram & Lakshman, “Be careful…This is Tadaka jungle, she must be hiding somewhere. She has great powers of illusion to take any form. So…be careful.”
Shri Ram give ‘Danush Tankar’ of his bow hence hearing that, Tadaka came in front of them.
Rishi Vishwamitra claimed, “Ram, She is Tadaka.”
Tadaka laughed very badly to them and start her illusion (Maya) but Vishwamitra told to Ram, “Don’t waste time, Ram. The sun is setting. These night creatures grow so powerful in the dark, they’re indestructible. I command you…Kill her.”
Ram revealed, “O’ Seer, my father commanded me to obey every order of yours. By your command, I shall now end this sinner’s life cycle.”
Ram immediately killed Tadaka with an arrow shot from his bow.
Divine Sage Vishwamitra congratulates Ram, “Blessed are you, Ram. May victory be yours. In all three worlds no one but you could have killed Tadaka. I’m now convinced. You’re on this earth only to do the world good. As you have pleased me greatly, I shall give you such divine weapons that in all three worlds, only I possess.”
Shri Ram repudiated, “By considering me worthy of your grace and bounty, you do great honour to this humble servant of yours.”
The Lord Ram & Lakshman came to the Ashram and gladly partook of the fruits & roots offered by the Sages.
In the hermitage, Sage trained the two brothers in use of divine weapons. So after that training, they were fully prepared to fight the demons.
Great Sage Vishwamitra said, “I do know, Ram. Vashishth has imparted to you the skills to make an unsurpassed warrior. But the powers I impart to you today are beyond the reach of Devatas too. Through worldly, heavenly and scientific research and spiritual power I possess divinely powerful weapons that I alone have. For aeons have I sought a man worthy of receiving them, one who will use my powers for the good of the world. I can see that in the future Aryan lands must be saved from demonic evil, and yours shall be the task. And at that time, you’ll need these divine weapons.”
A warrior must bear weapons but bearing of arms have their own rules. To protect the land, nation and any weak being, a valiant man must raise his weapons as Dharma. But arrogance and a desire to exhibit his strength should not lead him to make war or attack someone. It’s against a warrior’s Dharma. For the knowledge I’m about to impart to you, I shall claim as the Guru’s due only this you shall not misuse them on any innocent being but where you see sin, injustice and oppression, use the weapons to kill the sinner and oppressor.
Lord Ram retorted to sage Vishwamitra, “Respected Sage! Now you may proceed with the performance of Yajnas without any fear.”
“May God bless you with long life, you shall be victorious, Ram.” Said the Sage and he got busy with the rituals, along with his fellow ascetics and hermits.
The news of Tadaka’s killing made both Mareech and Subahu mad with rage. They reached the Yajnas site to desecrate it. A usual they began throwing flesh and bones of dead animals in the sacred fire.
Ram at once shot an arrow which rotated above the sacred altar with such a speed that it formed an umbrella and the Rakshasas failed in their attempt to disturb the holy rituals of the Yajnas.
When Ram let loose the arrow from the bow-string, the demon Mareech was flung hundred miles away to be cast beyond the ocean.
Then Subahu was killed by Lakshman. The Yajnas were completed without any further disturbance.
“O’ sons of King Dasharath, by killing demons, you’ve made our mystic Ashram safe and tranquil. On behalf of the ascetics, I salute you two brothers.” Said Brahmarshi Vishwamitra.
most of you know that we are on the Student Life Tour right now. one of my favorite times during the tour is when we get the chance to speak on behalf of Compassion & all that they are doing for kids in poverty around the world. during this time we come out on stage & aaron talks about our heart for the world & those that are living in poverty. he then explains the video (footage of our trip) they are about to see & the song that we play during the video. after the video is over i get the awesome opportunity to speak to the people in the audience about my personal experience with my sponsored child Isabel. it's a moment that i take very seriously. i have been critiquing my story & presentation over the past 6 weeks because i want it to be the most impactful that it can be. i believe so much in what Compassion does, and i long for everyone in that room to sponsor a child...that i don't want myself or what i have to say be the reason for someone not sponsoring a child.
this moment on this tour has given me a new love & passion for what i do with my music & ministry. it brings joy to my heart to get a text message from Jared (the guy with Student Life that helps run the Compassion Table) saying that there were 80 children saved from poverty this weekend in Memphis. WOW!!! 80 kids sponsored! A huge thank you to all of those that sponsored children this weekend. Jared told me that his grandmother was there during the Compassion moment, and she decided to sponsor two kids! That is the kind of stuff that makes this all worth while.
i close my talk with this.."i'm not asking you to change the entire world on your own. i'm asking you to bring hope to just one child. and with that hope you bring progress. and when there is progress...there is change. the question we have to ask ourselves is this: are you & i willing to make the small sacrifice needed to make a huge & lasting impact in the life of a child? that is the question that we have to ask ourselves."
if you are willing & wanting to make that small sacrifice...click here to sponsor a child. help change the world one child at a time.
