Re: Vegetable gardening and the 1st precept
It depends on the pests you're dealing with. I find that a diluted mist of Murphys Oil Soap works well to deter pest. Cut worms can be negated by just placing tin can collars at the base of each plant. Sprinkling a bit of diatomaceous earth onto the beds works well too. Pots of marigolds strewn thro...

Re: I'm so depressed
The depression will dissipate on its own, as long as you don't dwell on it. Its existence relies on being fed by attention. I was severely depressed for 4+ years recently. It slowly faded after a month or so, when I decided I was too tired to have it around anymore. I focused on other things and for...

Re: unethical job for greater good?
As far as I'm concerned, selling the jewelry ... no matter how high the price ... is just business. If they weren't willing to pay it, the prices would come down or you'd go out of business. Because a piece might sell for a tremendous amount of money, that is then what its worth. Don't worry about t...

Re: Overcoming time (kappātīta)
I take it to mean "letting go of the past" and "not worrying about the future". I'm assuming it frees the mind to live in the present more fully.
