I hope that's a monastic aquarium, not a lay-fishbowl.
Best wishes, Venerable.

Re: Australia
It looks to me to be a fishbowl of solitude, rather than a fishbowl of constant others-contact...
The first thing I thought of when I saw it, despite the bowl sizes being somewhat opposite:
"I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion."

This or that, it's still a bowl.

It's quite noteworthy, to notice how sense contact sparks papanca-sanna-sankha, isn't it?Raitanator wrote:This or that, it's still a bowl.

The fish is jumping from the small vehicle (hinayana) into the big vehicle (mahayana).
Only kidding. In reality the fish will hang in midair.

It seems a bit silly. At least it makes the matter clear.
Be well, Bhante.

Re: Australia
What would be a better term? Nyushul Khen Rinpoche was also firm that Hinayana is a pejorative term and better term would be Root-yana. What do you think?cooran wrote: Do not use that term on DhammaWheel.

Re: Australia
In tibetan buddhism there's also practices same to Theravadin, and categorized in the same way, but to call it Theravada would be misleading, don't you think?Mr Man wrote:TheravadaRaitanator wrote:What would be a better term?cooran wrote: Do not use that term on DhammaWheel.
Re: Australia
All schools of Buddhism have many beliefs and practices in common but the schools are nevertheless distinct and are worth calling by their proper names.Raitanator wrote:In tibetan buddhism there's also practices same to Theravadin, and categorized in the same way, but to call it Theravada would be misleading, don't you think?
And in general, it is polite to call people by the name they prefer. Cooran is 'Cooran' or 'Chris'. You are 'Raitanator'. I am 'Kim'. Easy, simple, polite.
Theravada is 'Theravada'. Vajrayana is 'Vajrayana'. Easy, simple, polite. Anything else carries baggage that may be unwanted.
