The ammassed intelligence of the internet seems to suggest that only Aussies/Kiwi's are foolish enough to call their "billy grips" "pot holders" or "handles" Spondonicals.

Spelling is debatable, and origins seem to suggest that the word originated from a three stooges sketch.

How its possibly linked to the humble billy tongs is anyones guess?

"The point of meditation is to essentially push the ego into a corner so that it has nowhere else to go. The ego is based on attachment—our attachment to the body and to ideas. When the ego is cornered and has nowhere to go, the only thing one can do is to put it down. And when one puts down the ego, then that is enlightenment."

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 Panyapatipo
