The military is a big beast... are you able to be any more specific about the aspect of the military in which you intend to pursue a career?

Metta,

Hi. Maybe a medic. This all depends on the ASVAB test though.

I am 25 and considering a new career in the military. How strongly should this be avoided according to the dhamma?

Would there happen to be a sutta similar to the story of Milarepa? Who was not such a nice, perfect man, but eventually became enlightened? The Pali Canon is so large. I am really wanting to read something similar about repentance and the like. Would someone help me out with this if you could? :than...

Thank you, everyone.

Hi I'm pretty new at this and have a few questions. Why are all of the Uposatha calendars different and would it be wise to just observe the 8 precepts on the exact dates they occur according to the astrological calendar for my specific time zone? If yes, then say a full moon were to be at 1:00 AM. ...
