Being that I'm single, I met this nice woman. She's pretty, she's into yoga and meditation and she is smart, an attorney. The good kind of attorney though, public interest, civil rights, environmental protection, etc. However, get this, her name is..."Mara"... Seriously, LOL. Should I run away?!?! I don't know, what do you guys think? :lol:

    I think Mara is a really pretty name. Besides the Mara in Buddhism was a dude. Actually, I think Mara is genderless, but every mention I see seems to specify Mara as a male or doesn't specify. Don't think I have ever seen Mara assigned the feminine gender.

    So, I think you are safe unless you meet a dude named Mara, then run. ;)

    She doesn't happen to have a sister named Dukkha does she? If so, I might be wary. But if not, I'd go for it!

    BTW, does she have a sister at all? Who's single? :)

    Hey, you're dating Luke Skywalker's wife.:lol:

    Seriously though, in the words of Shakespeare.

    "A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet." Just don't let her become a cause for suffering. Otherwise, enjoy.

    I think you're safe ;) A rose by any other name, right?

    Try not to get caught up in concepts. I think that even the Buddha would invite Mara in for tea!
