Thanks Genkaku :) I agree i need to practice my patience. I often have free time to myself but find i have trouble getting my butt in gear, a problem that has bothered me for some time. I think tomorrow morning when all is quiet in my suite i will t…

Yea the whole dilusion thing is extremely confusing to me as is a lot of the terminology. Well we can be beginners together! haha
-
Yea i would love to find some people nearby. I need to do some more research on the area around me as i am 6 hours away from home. Also the school im going to is quite conservative or as some would say "redneck". Nothing against rednecks but all of …

Thanks Dakini ^_^. I guess i just need to sit my butt down and meditate. Sometimes it's difficult because i have ADD and bi-polar, also high degrees of anxiety so my mind races like woah.
-
I know its a lot more simple than i am making it but i have a tendancy to over think until i completely defeat myself.

okay. thanks a bunch :)

yea but he doesn't understand. he believes that true love conquers all. even the things he does and the fact that he had no future. we were going to try and make it work long distance but he can even get a job I don't see him visiting me much... I'm…

yea I am going to away to college. I feel stuck in this relationship because it's been on and off for two years and I've always ended it. now I feel so guilty I feel like I lack that option.

Yes

Let me say.. As someone from the USA that I hate it here. I am deeply concerned about whether I want to bring children into this country as a mother.... If I had the money I'd leave today

DD... I just gotta say.. :clap: :rockon:

I enjoy drinking balsamic from time to time

Haha I know I wasn't criticizing ^_^

I can't remember my BMI I think it was 15 or something around that If it was 15 you would be emaciated or dead :) that's no good!

I wake up so that I don't find myself in the same bed 20 years later sad, living with my parents and with no future of any kind. I used to live like that... No fun

I will be compassionate to all sentient beings unless it's raining, snowing, sunny, day, night, before 2pm, after 2pm or on days that end in "y".
-
I will try to help others in the discussion of not wanting even though I am in am uphill battle currently and REALLY want a bagel with jam
-
1. I will kiss my dogs even though It makes my face smelly and others gasp in disgust
-
I speak much more politely in front of a general audience than I normally do if you want to know what I really think than message me and I will let you know :) I know that sounds awfully ominous but assure it's not
-
Retribution? What are you speaking of. All I said was that his actions have nothing to do with the religion that he is a part of. Not all Christians go around hating and burning books. I am not requires to meet your comment requirements. I dont rec…

The rioting seems to have much more to do with built-up resentment against US forces in Afghanistan, than with a US church burning a Koran. The latter just served as catalyst. If the US weren't harassing and killing civilians, this might not have …

I lie down. I have a bad back and sitting for prolonged periods is so painful I can't even relax into meditation. I just make sure that I am aware of myself and make sure that instead of getting sleepy, I grow more Mindful.

unconditional love for all sentient beings. Yes, and water element healing on the body is good, cleans the liver and kidneys, general places where demonic type energies enter the body. Oh nothing better than nice crisp water. Also air... Imagine a …

We can't blame it on the religion. This man clearly or not so clearly, had deep seeded hate that he did not deal with. Perhaps he feels threatened. Who knows why is he the way he is or why he did it... But we can't generalize all religions similar t…

unconditional love for all sentient beings. Likewise :D

when we see a flower we say 'I see a flower' and we think there is 'I' and there is 'a flower' that is our view (wrong view) but according to Buddha's Teaching there is 'eye+flower+eye consciousness' and there is just 'seeing' this is Right view …
-
Definitely. So it does make it hard to distinguish. Or do we just look too much into what others do? Or what the Pali says? I guess that's for each individual to decide :) With love, Jen

Buddhism is a non-theistic practice so there's no one/nothing to worship. Which is why in nations which are predominantly Buddhist, no ones kneels in front of the Buddha statue at the temple, no one lights incense, no one offers flowers, and no one …

He is suffering... He is trying to alleviate himself but doesn't know money will not help him. Have sympathy for him and how conditioned he is. View it as a challenge to build your patience.
