Unfortunately, from my PoV it's mainly one-sided... the men i speak of specifically wouldn't know, understand or accept the Dhamma if it jumped out at them with big day-glo-orange foam rubber hands and whupped them over the head... so it's largely a mono-lateral effort.... It's an utterly demoralisi...

Please, please believe me when i tell you that honestly and sincerely, i am mindful of that, and have so tried to practice it. Why is it then, that every time i feel i am beginning to conquer my emotional aversion to the male of the species - some dominating, arrogant, heavy-handed male chauvinist c...

a spin-off from a current thread elsewhere.... Have you thought some men may feel the same about women for good reason? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGDTDawB4wE&feature=share it's a pertinent point you make, but this kind of brutality is a fairly recently-aired phenomenon. Rightly, it fills people...

I had no idea this topic had been raised here, and what follows is actually something i posted elsewhere... And I'm completely with retro.... While I assure you I am practising compassion, I practise no more for her - or Amy Whitehouse - than I do for the homeless, freezing vagrant addicted to meths...

After practicing Zen for a couple of years I have started the practice of Vipassana and Samadha, as I prefer these meditations. For the most part I like therevada Buddhism. However I'm still heavily influenced by the Mahayana and I believe in Buddha nature. I've been told more than once that Buddha...

Father Christmas is easy to back up, with so much annual visual proof... they're everywhere...on TV, in films, in shopping malls.... and yet - how do we explain so many...? :thinking: Fabricated stories come unstuck the more we try to pin them down.... And out of respect for those who follow a theis...

I'm sorry, really I am, but this does irritate me. These hypothetical scenarios are utterly pointless. What about the one where you are a transplant surgeon and just happen to be working as a doctor in a small town (maybe an island) with no other medical help. 4 people come in and each has one diff...

.....My 6 years old daughter is not old enough to deeply question what she is observing. as a 50+-year-old ex-Roman catholic, i can tell you this isn't true. I would be prepared to bet a pound to a pinch of salt that she has all manner of questions in that little head of hers... I did, as did my 2 ...

Are you following me.....?

Yes, I understand your frustration when certain scenarios will not likely be relevant to you. But for me, I am precisely the Ray Mears type of person. Ok. well then, fair enough, i can see the relevance, to a certain extent. But only to a certain extent. I study Bushcraft as I plan to live in remot...
