Not currently living in Minnesota, and hi back at you.
What is the use of his knowledge
pertaining to the number of insects in the whole world?
Rather, inquire into his knowledge of
that which is to be practised by us

This being is bound to samsara, kamma is his means for going beyond.

Níl sa saol seo ach ceo
There is naught in this life but mist

And we will not be alive but a short hard time.

Ciao Vincenzi. It may be better if we try to write in English rather than Italian as the majority of folks here only speak English. Forse sarebbe meglio se parlassimo in inglese dato che sono pochi chi capiscono l'italiano.
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

That is a hard question to answer sensibly, because Nepal is mostly Hindu and the Buddhist minority is mostly Mahayana-Vajrayana. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Nepal and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism_in_Nepal.

Gain and loss, status and disgrace,
censure and praise, pleasure and pain:
these conditions among human beings are inconstant,
impermanent, subject to change.
Knowing this, the wise person, mindful,
ponders these changing conditions.
Desirable things don’t charm the mind,
undesirable ones bring no resistance.
His welcoming and rebelling are scattered,
gone to their end,
do not exist.

Stuff I write about things.
