Bed Bugs
Posted: Sun Mar 11, 2012 1:45 pm
Hello Everyone,
I am currently in the unenviable position of dealing with a possible bed bug infestation. I saw one walking across my stairs in broad daylight three days ago and my life has been turned upside down. Besides the obvious difficulties and expenses I'm incurring in preparing my home for the exterminators I am very concerned with my ongoing breach of the first precepts. I recall Ven. Thanissaro recommending a passage to be chanted from the suttas or commentary in such a situation. Any thoughts are appreciated as I am deeply disturbed by the situation but have a young family that I am duty bound to protect. Mettaya
