  Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Donald Tsang   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-17)
Tsang was the second Chief Secretary for Administration of Hong Kong SAR.
Tsang was born in Hong Kong in October, 1944.

 Santa Monica News Dr. Tsang Gets His Feet Wet
But Tsang’s surfing lessons had to be put on hold, as the incoming president dove into his first month on the job, getting to know the people and the issues that will drive his agenda.
And it’s probably no coincidence that one of Tsang’s first priorities is to address the parking and traffic issues that have pitted the college against neighborhood groups and the City as SMC expanded its campuses.
Tsang suggested a variety of tools, including studying traffic flow patterns, using shuttle lots and increasing “hybrid” courses which offer a mix of on-line and classroom instruction, keeping students connected to on-campus culture while minimizing traffic on neighborhood streets.

 Tsang loves his bow ties - Fashion - Entertainment - theage.com.au
The bow tie is such an integral part of Tsang's identity that he is nicknamed "bow tie Tsang." Tsang's recent election campaign logo featured his surname written in Chinese brush in green - with three strokes replaced by a blue bow tie.
Tsang's wardrobe is a remnant from his days as an official in Hong Kong's British colonial administration.
Donald Tsang's wife, Selina, was quoted in local media recently as saying that her husband prefers bow ties because they look better than a regular tie on his short build and they're functional - he has to worry less about food stains when he eats.

Tsang was declared Hong Kong's next Chief Executive on Thursday in an uncontested leadership race that critics have called a charade.

Harsha Vardhana invited Hsüan Tsang to his capital at Kanauj where he convoked a religious assembly on the banks of the Ganges, attended by the kings of twenty vassal states, together with monks and Brahmans.

Tsang is a devout Roman Catholic—he was educated at a Jesuit school—and worships daily at St. Joseph's Church near his office.
Moreover, with Tsang at the helm, at least the façade is maintained of a Hong Kong person running Hong Kong—which is a cornerstone of "one country, two systems"—even if China's leaders actually call the shots.

 Buddhist Deity Description: Ti Tsang Pusa / Ksitigarbha
Ti Tsang P'usa has often been mistaken by uninformed Buddhists to be Mogallana who was a disciple of Sakyamuni Buddha, because he too had a similar experience of descending to the Hell Realm to seek and save his mother.
Ti Tsang P'usa is again taken by many to be "Yen-Lo-Wang" or Yama, the "Over-Lord of Hell." It must be mentioned that Ti Tsang is a Bodhisattva and not a mere King of the Fifth Hell.
Ti Tsang's compassion is not practised exclusively for the benefit of the beings of the hell realm, he also gives blessings to those of the world who seek his help and he is a comforter of the poor, oppressed, sick, hungry, and those who are troubled by spirits and nightmares.

 Kim Knight : Chi Nei Tsang (Abdominal Massage) practitioner   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-17)
Hearing about Chi Nei Tsang in a yoga class in Costa Rica (of all places) she traveled to San Francisco to find out more, and after a transformative first session was intrigued by the technique and immediately began to learn more.
Chi Nei Tsang is the ancient form of bodywork used thousands of years ago in China by Taoist monks to strengthen and purify their bodies on their journey to enlightenment.
Chi Nei Tsang involves a high level of ‘self-responsibility’ which is ultimately far more powerful for a person, for once an individual knows that they have the power to heal themselves, (rather than continually look outside to someone else), they start to take back control of their life.
