	MARA
		In Buddhism Mara is the lord of misfortune, sin, destruction and Death.
		Mara is the ruler of desire and death, the two evils that chain man to the wheel of ceaseless rebirth.
		The best life, Mara claimed, is to "subdue the world both with arrows and with sacrifices, and from the world obtain the world of Vsava." Mara threatened the Prince with his bow and arrow stating that he spares those who indulge in carnal pleasures.

	Reflections on Mara
		Mara is a familiar figure in the rich lore of Buddhism, most especially as the deva, or supernatural being, whose forces attack the bodhisattva Siddhartha Gautama as he sat beneath the pipal tree prior to his Enlightenment.
		Mara also appears however, when the Buddha is surrounded by bhikkhus whom he is instructing, or when he is addressing a large gathering, when he is on his alms-round, or when he is preparing for sleep.
		For Mara is the self to Buddha's selflessness, the fear to Buddha's fearlessness, the death to Buddha's deathlessness.

		Mara Jade was born in 18 BBY during great instability as the Emperor Palpatine and his apprentice, Darth Vader, were murdering hundreds of Jedi.

		Though Mara was concerned for her husband's health after his intense meditation, she gave her full support to his decision to grant himself the title of Jedi Grand Master and assume full control of the Jedi Order.

	magic and accident + mara carlyle
		In various ensembles Mara has sung her way through church music, jazz, bluegrass, opera and electronica, elements of all of which can be found sitting harmoniously side by side on this album.
		This was not in homage to the book by Roddy Doyle, but a reference to the fact that Mara didn't really think that these songs would ever be anything more than musings for herself and her friends, particularly as she had (and still has) a full-time job.
		Mara's debut single, 'I Blame Dido EP', will be released in the spring of 2005 as a 7" with 'I Blame You Not' from her album alongside a new and unreleased arrangement of Purcell's 'Dido's Lament'.

	CD Baby: MARA: It's Who I Am - from galaris
		Mara's passion is endless on this explosive album, taking you on a journey to everywhere you've been or hope to go.
		Mara honors the memory of her Grandmother and the struggles of other family members by donating one dollar from the sale of every album to benefit breast cancer research.
		Unfortunately, for Mara, not for us, she is difficult to pigeonhole, this is to her credit, but it will undoubtedly cause her a world of frustrations in today's sub-culture oriented music scene.

	Mara, the Buddhist Manifestation of Evil
		Mara's most important appearance in Buddhist lore is his attack on Buddha under the Bodhi tree, just prior to Buddha's enlightenment.
		Mara recognizes that Buddha is on the verge of transcending the realm of senses and desire - Mara's domain - and engages in attempts to prevent this enlightenment through violence and distraction.
		Mara himself appears before Buddha, a terrifying monster mounted on his elephant, wielding powerful weapons, but even then he is unable to break his concentration and will.

	Mara, Papiyan and Varsavarti - Demons, Demonology, and Evil of the Eastern and Asian Cultures
		Mara ("death" or "thirst"), also called Papiyan ("more wicked") and Varsavarti ("he who fills desires"), is the evil spirit (or sometimes as simply the personification of evil) in Buddhism who tempted Siddharta during the time he searched for the way, and as he sat beneath the Bo Tree and meditated.
		During this confrontation, Mara, whose attributes include blindness, murkiness, death, and darkness, attempts to guide Siddharta from the path of enlightenment by tempting him to return to his former ways.
		Mara is said to be homeless, wandering the earth capturing the souls of the dying, and in Hinduism, personifies evil and death & is associated with the demon, Namuche ("Not letting go the waters").

	GORP - Masai Mara National Reserve
		In the Mara river, hippo submerge at the approach of a vehicle only to surface seconds later to snort and grumble their displeasure.
		But this richness of fauna, this profusion of winged beauty and the untouched fragility of the landscape, are all subordinate to the Mara's foremost attraction, the march of the wildebeest.
		Once the Mara's grass has been devoured and when fresh rain in Tanzania has brought forth a new flush there, the herds turn south, heading hundreds of kilometres back to Serengeti and the Ngorongoro plains.

	Introduction
		The Masai Mara is a Game Reserve (sometimes called a National Reserve) although an inner area is treated as a National Park.
		There are a number of Lodges (including Keekorok, Mara Serena, Mara Sopa) and Camps (including Fig Tree, Governor's, Intrepids Club, Kichwa Tembo, Mara Buffalo, Mara Cottar's, Mara River, Mara Sarova), plus other campsites (on the Talek River and near some of the Gates).
		Keep noise to a minimum to avoid disturbing the wildlife (it is very important that the carnivores have some peace alone for their hunting, particularly if they have young to feed).
