Bhikkhus, if you develop and make much this one thing,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.
What is it? It is recollecting the Enlightened One.
If this single thing is recollected and made much,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.

Well, i guess that puts an end to any thoughts of being a drag queen.

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 offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

Being a female looks like way too much work.

I think this is true. My ex wife wore alot of lipstick and i did kiss her at times and she quite often remarked at how stupid i was. She was apparently unscathed.

children smart.
