United States run the International Space Station. Other countries also help
with the space station. But only Russian spacecraft carry people to it right

crew members are called cosmonauts. NASA crew members from the United States
are called astronauts. Crew members from Europe, Canada and Japan are also
called astronauts.
The
Soyuz takes cosmonauts and astronauts to and from the space station. A Soyuz
has room for three people to ride in it. The spacecraft also brings food and
water to the space station.
The
Soyuz is like a lifeboat. At least one Soyuz is always attached to the space
station. If there were an emergency on the space station, the crew could use
the Soyuz to leave the space station and return to Earth.

Venerable Master Hsing Yun is a Chinese Buddhist monk, author, philanthropist, and founder of the Fo Guang Shan monastic order, which has branches throughout Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, and the Americas. Ordained at the age of twelve in Jiangsu Province, China, Hsing Yun has spent over seventy years as a Buddhist monk promoting what he calls “Humanistic Buddhism”—Buddhism that meets the needs of people and is integrated into all aspects of daily life.
In 1949, Hsing Yun went to Taiwan and began to nurture the burgeoning Buddhist culture on the island. Early on in his monastic career, he was involved in promoting Buddhism through the written word. He has served as an editor and contributor for many Buddhist magazines and periodicals, authoring the daily columns “Between Ignorance and Enlightenment,” “Dharma Words,” and “Hsing Yun’s Chan Talk.”In 1957, he started his own Buddhist magazine, Awakening the World, and in 2000, the first daily Buddhist newspaper, the Merit Times.
