Re: Monks in Bagan in need of food
That's a lot of rice for a day' meal, last i checked monks weren't allowed to store food. I will check again,
pācittiya 38
"yo pana bhikkhu sannidhikāramaṃ khādanīyaṃ bojanīyaṃ vā khādeyya vā bhuñjeyya vā, pācittiaṃ.
Not to store food at afternoon time. A bhikkhu who consumes food, or a drink, after having kept it for a period exceeding a day after it was offered, commits the pācittiya 38 (food can be re-offered to a bhikkhu only if it has been abandoned the preceding night). All foods become "stored food" at dawn in the morning following the offering.

Explain to me how this is allowed and i will donate 400$We will donate smaller sacks of 4 Pyis (approximately equivalent to 8.5 kilos) of alms-rice to each monk and nun instead of going to all monasteries and nunneries.
...
for the monks and nuns to transport back to their abodes.
Re: Monks in Bagan in need of food
Well then the money and rice should go to these lay helpers who then ration out the daily rice meal, a day at a time.NotMe wrote: ↑Wed Jun 29, 2022 7:50 pmThe monasteries and nunneries have lay helpers for the monks - some each and every one, others serve multiple ordained.

These people want to give 8 kg of alms rice to the monks to take to their abodes
How is this not a storing of offered alms food?

Re: Monks in Bagan in need of food
Have you ever heard of a "shabbes goy?"
I'm sure it wouldn't be allowable in some communities. It's a lot easier to be a rigourist in good times with plentiful resources. It's even easier to be a rigourist when not even ordained and commenting on the holy life in the manner of a "backseat driver!"

What is the Uncreated?
Sublime & free, what is that obscured Eternity?
It is the Undying, the Bright, the Isle.
It is an Ocean, a Secret: Reality.
Both life and oblivion, it is Nirvāṇa.

Re: Monks in Bagan in need of food
There you go changing the rules after the ball is in play. Two separate people I give and it ain't right with you.

I am not changing rules, i am giving you options. This is a freeroll for you... I can't allow you to name yourself for arbitration, obviously.NotMe wrote: ↑Wed Jun 29, 2022 8:13 pmThere you go changing the rules after the ball is in play. Two separate people I give and it ain't right with you.
Patti Smyth says this is a Scandal! and sings along with me - Goodbye to you!
Name 5 active users and i will do the same, picking 1 or 2 from the list, you decide 1 or 2. This is to avoid collusion.
You have 1 hour.
Re: Monks in Bagan in need of food
You copy the official handbook that guides communal arbitration PASTE IT HERE and I'll then decide if I want to commune with you, but don't hold your breath.

Re: Monks in Bagan in need of food
I will pre-emptively decline to represent you in this lay arbitration you are trying to set up.

Re: Monks in Bagan in need of food
It's not representing me. You could've voted either way. Now that that you have declined i have to change you out because i assume you might be voting with prejudice due to your dislike of me.
I'll put Jack19990101 instead
