Asked if I could. He said: no please, just off the record. I said: Okay and we continued the talk for 2 minutes. I didn't bother to put off the audio recording. Whether or not you should be able to record is not the issue. The issue is: 1. You asked his permission ("asked if I could"). 2....

No for me means mostly: 'No I don't want this published'. What other reason could there be, still haven't heard one answer. He does not know how you might twist what he says through what you describe as "framing" (which is another way of fabricating). He does not have to trust you, and yo...

What if he claims to be a fully enlightened one. Then be careful You show no concern about your own Karma Karma is heart wisdom. Clouded by ignorance which causes bad intentions. I have nothing of that. And no one has given any reason as to why it's wrong. Your own brain also records things, a reco...

No for me means mostly: 'No I don't want this published'. What other reason could there be, still haven't heard one answer. I kept the recording on because he may change his mind later and it was an interesting conversation, or to protect myself, or listen back to it. Two minutes later I asked again...

I didn't stop the recording for him, bit different than starting one after they say no. Even though I still haven't heard any good reason why we shouldn't be allowed to record people. I kept it on because he may change his mind later and it could be a valuable convo, and to protect myself against sl...

Karma is always watching, but I’m just saying everything is recorded by Karma Does that stop everyone from lying, slander, violence, corruption. If karma is always watching, then recording people is just a more sophisticated way of karma, (as long as it's used truthfully, so no false framing). Anci...

karma is always watching knows our every thought and intention Karma is always watching, but only works if people acknowledge their faults. Otherwise they are fighting against their karma, and create hell for themselves (and others). You asked to record. He asked you not to record. Full stop. You d...

So, I said 'Okay', to not recording for the interview.

I don't think anyone should be able to tell me not to record things for myself.

It's basically identical to perfect memory, but with the ability to share it potentially.

Hm. Isn't honesty the same as transparency? I was recording audio. Wanted to setup the video channel recording as well. Asked if I could. He said: no please, just off the record. I said: Okay and we continued the talk for 2 minutes. I didn't bother to put off the audio recording. Why should I not be...

I personally think that, for the sake of truth, and righteousness, people should be able to record people when ever they want, even without telling them, if the intention is wholesome (so not to lie, frame, and slander). I think the pros are: being able to record the truth in detail, exposing potent...

I think that is Ajahn Tong Daeng's monastery right? He is he #1 student of the recently deceased Phra Ajahn Plien. I have great respect for Phra Ajahn Plien as I have met him and read his biography and learned about how hard and well he practiced. I have been there but have never stayed there. Ajah...

I don't have any official psychology related credentials I don't think any Arahant ever had this and ariya would be diagnosed with some sort of personality disorders according to the standards of the field. Thanks for the review. It seems like most of these issues wouldn't apply if one was ordained...

Howdy from Oklahoma! I saw on your YouTube channel that you are a mental health coach. Out of curiosity, what was your training for this line of work? Metta Hi. It's based on my past 10 years of extensive practice, study and sitting with numerous teachers. Recovering from depression, anxiety, and e...

Fire element (eg anger) arising, due to conditions, can make a tolerable exterior temperature seem intolerable. Could be, but for Europeans, a very hot climate can be difficult, even native Indians etc. often want a fan or A/C. It was tolerable with practice, but honestly what made it really diffic...

And no, there are no cool climates in sri lanka.. I'm not writing this to the OP, but writing just in case anyone is reading this thread thinking it is an accurate source of information... There are absolutely cool climates in Sri Lanka. In the hill country. It's so cool that many Sri Lankans refus...
