miscellany...

Wouldn't it be cool if we could get Brian to give away a new house, car OR load of cash for members here?

Oh crap. I had never read anything like this. I was kind of hoping that Buddhism was above this. But, no matter what... Buddhism is above this sort of behavior. It's just that "some people" are not...

We know that meditating is one of the important parts of a Buddhist's practice. But, one thing people may not spend too much time thinking about is: "how Siddartha (and other ascetics) had been meditating before Siddartha's enlightenment". How far back does meditation go as a practice? Good question, eh? Too bad I don't have anything to either support or answer this question! But I do have a link on meditation and Hinduism...

    Yeah, Brian, hey, I got this brain wave, but I can't contribute much if this idea is formed...

    Why not those of us who can afford it (I wll definitely do it next time once I got the cash) build a REAL temple somewhere in the world? Where we can call OUR temple? Man we could house monks and spread the Dhamma well... But I know this gonna hurt alot in the pockets... Wait for me to grow up, then I'll throw my savings in.

    Well, Ajani, there are many temples already out there which would welcome your donations!

    Inter-school rivalry is good; inter-school racism is not.
