Q. I am a 24 year old choir director and I need some ideas on how to get people, especially non members of the church to join my church choir. I have been directing this choir for 4 years now and the quality of the choir is very low, unfortunately. 98% of the choir is over 75-80 years old. Hence, many of these members are losing their voices, can't project their voices, have trouble standing up while singing, are becoming less committed (missing rehearsals).

A. I work with my church's choir. We have several non-members involved. One thing I've found out, at least in my area, is that there are people who really like to sing, but don't initially realize that they don't have to be a church member to do so. Maybe start with an announcement in your church's service bulletin saying that anyone is welcome to be a chorister. Some people shy away from choirs because they think there's going to be some sort of embarrassing tryout (and in some churches, there actually is). Have you considered taking out an ad in your local shopper or newspaper? I know that it might sound odd, but there's a chance that people in the community might see it and decide to give it a try.

Q. I use to play chess in Dallas, big club, and the only yearly membership fee was $60. Now why would I have to pay $240 yearly to sit(zazen) in a Zen Center? I find this excessive do you? Also that Zen Center is in Dallas with apparently a lot of members so don't tell me it is all going in utilities. :). I was under the impression that Zen Center were following the Buddha tradition without seeking for money or materialistic goods & values. I guess I will stay home with my meditation Bench :)

A. Only in America do we have this very strange notion that we shouldn't need to support the Dharma. This doesn't exist in traditional Buddhist countries, where the standard "religious tithe" in America of 10% of your income is seen as insultingly little. Why do you think it's fair that other people should pay to support your access to the dharma, a teacher, teachings, and a reliable place to practice? When we are children, our parents see to our needs, but part of growing up is learning to be responsible on our own. If you honestly cannot afford $20 a month to support the availability of the dharma and a place to practice it (and this takes a lot of serious introspection - it's hard to imagine an adult who does not have less than a dollar… [cont.]

Need to lose weight - seeking advice?
Q. Hi everyone, I'm 15 and I'm 5 ft 8 weighing 12st (male), my BMI is 26. Well I don't look 12st atall, infact when I was weighed my family was suprised because I'm just average looking really. But without a top like anyone else I can see my faults with my body, such as a little bit of a belly and a chest. I have gym membership which I haven't been taking advantage of really admittingly since of gcse's im studying really hard, but i'm going to be fitting gym in. My gym is open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays ( 3:30pm-6pm) for us, and also Saturdays from 9am-12pm. At gym sessions I burnt 600 callories a day on average. Now I'm thinking that I should definitly go to these gym sessions, as I went in july and i did lose and looked so much… [cont.]

A. You don't need to loose weight - you just need to tone up and build up some muscle on the upper half of your body. Speak to a member of staff at your gym and find out what exercises you need to do to tone up your torso. A healthy male needs 2500 calaries a day. You don't have a weight problem just try and build up some muscle. All the best :)
