    Samsaric Desires are always filled with Suffering, Let them pass you will find no happiness here only more torment, If you are genuinly seeking Liberation and Enlightenment then you have to control these minds not the other way around. :)

    Horrible humour aside, hearing about people's experiences in this thread gives me warm fuzzy feelings of happiness. I'm glad you're all here to share your experiences - if Buddhism wasn't the way it is, you'd all not be here, and this place'd be pretty dull. :p

    We're all here because we're not all there.

    Because, as we know, no matter where you go, there you are. But what happens while you're actually in transit? And if a Buddhist meditates in the woods, would a fly still irritate him? :)

    Buddha - no problem with anyone, gay / lesbian / hetro.
    Buddha - warns problems due to attachment - aversion / desire.

    I imagine that the majority of sex, if not all of sex would come under the category of attachment through desire. All distractions. All sewing seeds of attachment.

    I guess it all depends on how extreme your practice is.
    I guess not everyone is ready to be a celibate monk.
    So, I would imagine, bite off as much as you can chew. Gay / Lesbian / Hetro / Trans etc. Be happy. Spread Love and Peace.

    Didn't get the cd/dvd/game job - so I'll just pack your groceries for you, like a good little till monkey :) Besides, everything is released at least a year later here in Australia. Still waiting on season two of Mentalist. Grr.

    On topic again, I imagine cold showers are probably quite common with beginner monks on the celibacy vow. No wonder those martial monks meditate under waterfalls...

    Umm, how does slagging off Australians relate to a thread about homosexuality? Are you suggesting we treat homosexuals any worse here than the rest of the world?? :confused:

    the world is only afraid of acting on its "homosexual" impulses. sexuality is bordered and fenced more than a palestinian warhorse... and australians just need to find their true self... like michael jackson.

    Oh so Americans and the rest of the world have "found their true self" and we Aussies are a bit slow?

    That's a very interesting revelation. Thanks for sharing.....................
