The first precept

In theory it seems the easiest. Then mosquito season started.

Argh!

    I had a fly bugging me the whole evening. It was a very weird fly started trying to land on my computer screen. The next morning I saw it by the window. I could tell it was the same fly because it moved slow like it was in the house the whole night. It looked like a mutated fly very weird and I had some compassion on it and tried to get it out the window. Then I couldn't and I was sort of bottled up in my thoughts frustrated and thinking the fly would just have to deal. But then I thought, no you can do this think logically. And I got an index card and a glass and caught the fly. Then released it back outside. I knew it was going to die soon, but I wanted it to experience the fresh air.

    lol i had a fly inside the house so i waited until it went to the window, then closed it. then i opened the screen from the outside so that the fly could roam the skies.

    bodhisattva action!
    everything wants to live and be happy.

    Until this summer I don't believe I've ever thought twice about swatting at a mosquito. Certainly didn't care if it lived. It's been a different experience. I like the feeling and extra level of compassion. I could do without the bites. ;) People around me think I'm nuts. Haha

    it helps to wear bug repellant.

    i think of it as preemptive bodhisattva action for my body and all insects involved.

    Blowing or brushing mosquitos off works well and doesnt' kill them.

    ...or just put filters in the windows.

    ...or just put filters in the windows.
    It's only a problem when I'm outdoors. :)

    Blowing them off is my preference. And staying indoors in the evening works well too. ;)
