Emoticon!
by Reductor » Sun Jul 18, 2010 6:53 am
Hey, you know what this joint needs? More emoticons! There are just not enough to capture the many moods of the Reductor. I cannot think of an example just now, but the thought has occurred to me on occasion.

This forum has some good ones that I haven't seen elsewhere.
I wish there was an emoticon for saying something went "over my head". I've never seen one like that anywhere.
Also, on another forum I go to, they have a "head-smack" emoticon for those "d'oh!" occasions.

I'd like Kling-on and Spock emotocons!
What about an asura-emotocon too?
OO and a naga - this forum definately needs a naga emotocon ...
Happy Friday from Mt. Meru,

Why would it need a naga emoticon? 
Suffering is asking from life what it can never give you.

If you see any unskillful speech (or other action) from me let me know, so I can learn from it.

Ah, I didn't know this.
I only know naga (in the context of the Dhamma) from a passage in the Vinaya that says that naga's can't ordain.

Nagas are particularly revered along the Mekong river on the Thailand-Laos border...
My local Wat is a branch of Wat Nak Prok, Bangkok:
The Buddha-Rupa I have at home is based on that Naga story and looks something like this (but less ornate...):

Greetings,
You can come up with your own emoticon lists without us added (even) more to Dhamma Wheel itself.
For example, here's one from a site I frequent...
It's simply an image.
If you keep a handy collection of them in a TXT file or somewhere easily accessible, you can wheel out your own as/when required.
As for adding more, they already distract me sometimes when I'm trying to type a response and they're all jumping around and such at the edge of the screen.... and I'm actually in favour of emoticons... there are some members who are genuinely anti-emoticon. Distractions aside, they do take up an inordinate amount of room, particular if your screen has small resolution on the horizontal axis, because they wrap down.
Metta,
Retro.

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

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
-- Dharmakirti
This being is bound to samsara, kamma is his means for going beyond.
SN I, 38.
Níl sa saol seo ach ceo
There is naught in this life but mist
Is ní bheimid beo ach seal beag gearr.
And we will not be alive but a short hard time.
