Metta,
Retro.
If you have asked me of the origination of unease, then I shall explain it to you in accordance with my understanding:
Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)'We should not congratulate someone on the success of their misdeeds, but on the contrary should endeavour to advise him or her to lead a more skilful and wholesome life. If such advice is ignored then we can only give up and let go' - Phra PanyapatipoDharma Wheel (Mahayana / Vajrayana forum)

Thanks for this Retro.
Times like these, one misses the big city - temporarily.

I went to the opening film last night. Anyone else went?
Well, it was, I guess, a shameless plug for Zen. Pretty well-made, I would say, but I am sure not to everyone's taste. It made some very good points about practice although I found Enlightenment Guaranteed (another one that will be shown) to have more charm and a lighter touch.
Anyone planning to turn up to any of them?
PS Following a comment, maybe I overstating it saying it was a "shameless plug for Zen". People who are not put off by Zen practice and approach may well enjoy it. There is also a fair bit about the relationships between two brothers and their partners in the film.

Greetings Dan,
I would go to the one which is the follow-up of the one about the kids who grow up as monks... but only if I'd seen the first one... which I haven't.
