Converting the pets and busy on studies in Buddhism
Sorry all been busy on advanced stuff in fpmt tibetan Buddhism and converting my little teacher the dog a staunch Abrahamic who believes in karma and rebirth but Christian style. He likes the fpmt teachings the dog. I asked about the dog being a dharma friend and guide due to a prophetic dream of a teacher and student ie the dog as student and I not sure but I believe I was the teacher. Anyways the cats aren’t fully interested they listen to some of it but not all.
I am getting vows I was told I can use the ceremony to get layvows by prostration to buddha statue. It’s ten virtues the only problem I have is meatless diet as meat helps my stomach as I have stomach issues and murdering insects as I am a janitor.
Though I drink alcohol Bahamas’s mamas on vacation gonna miss them.
i need to get back into the discovery of Buddhism course. Ie basic

How as a Buddhist do I forgive this guy and see it’s just as karma influencer
You get your sangha to take the hit

- Hit now activated
- It will look like an accident
… wait … think I may have gone wrong again …

Re: Close call on life today
"Loving the world to me, is no chore;
My big problem's the guy next door!"
Practising Metta and distributing our love, kindness, compassion and equanimity to all and sundry is easy-peasy Japaneesy... but pick one individual, and it's as hard as a giant jaw-breaker candy ball.
What's more, our sense of righteous indignation, and desire for justice, gets in the way, like some 7-foot high and three-foot wide guy directly in front of us at the ball game, whom, no matter how hard we try, we just can't see round.
Me? I love everyone, and can wrap my arms around the world, from Ghengis Khan, to Hitler, to Saint Francis of Assisi to HHDL... But I am still bugged by the fucktard who stole my tortoises 16 years ago, in France, and I know who it was too, damnit...
Time I dropped this, right?
Exactly.
