A pleasure, but XXOO? I don't know you well enough for smooches and hugs, and my trouble and strife might object.

Tilt, our dear friends form down under are notoriously good at affection and hospitality.
if she'd wanted to get down and serious with you, I'm sure you'd know it by now... and Retro's a mod... I hardly think he'd permit hanky-panky in his yard, somehow.... :jumping:

Well, we play Scrabble over the computer from different rooms... typing to each other in different rooms should be nothing new.

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

It does feel "homey" here, I've got to say. Yeah, for an internet board, this place can feel good!

Hi Stephanie, woini and everyone..!

:group:
"As Buddhists, we should aim to develop relationships that are not predominated by grasping and clinging. Our relationships should be characterised by the brahmaviharas of metta (loving kindness), mudita (sympathetic joy), karuna (compassion), and upekkha (equanimity)."
