Re: question ordination
The rule is about stopping people from ordaining as a way to escape debt or from being convicted by the law. Are you aware of a warrant out for your arrest? Is a collection company pursuing you to make a payment? If not you're fine.mario92 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 26, 2023 12:23 am Hello i used pirate software in university, which i regret greatly, but i left using them some months after graduation, 5 years ago, 1-.can i ordain if i used them? 2-.is it considered to be in debt? 3-.and if so how to pay them back? 4-.am i considered a criminal and not being able to ordain?
Pronouns (no self / not self)
“Peace is within oneself to be found in the same place as agitation and suffering. It is not found in a forest or on a hilltop, nor is it given by a teacher. Where you experience suffering, you can also find freedom from suffering. Trying to run away from suffering is actually to run toward it.”
