Re: Taking Leave
Greg, as I said before I support you and your roll as a moderator. I know how difficult it can be. I've followed this thread and have reread a few others where debates between you and a few others have gone on and on. These members are able to "press your buttons" so to speak, and a couple...

Re: Taking Leave
I know being a mod is a difficult thing to do. You have been a fair mod as far as I'm concerned and hope the time off will help you to regather yourself. You are and have been a great help to me and many others here, I hope this is only a break from being a mod. Hang in there my friend :namaste: Dave

Re: Taking the 8 Precepts for a day
Thank you for the reply, and all the great information.
I never considered either of those to be "intoxicants" before.
I know I should quit smoking and will in time.

Taking the 8 Precepts for a day
I was reading that upon taking the 8 Precepts for a day, the Precept which states the abstinence from intoxicants includes tobacco and cafine. This is from the Daily Prayers book from FPMT. Which states that these are mind altering substances and anything mind altering should be avoided when taking ...

The 100 million Mani Mantra retreat
This is being sponsored by FPMT, as I understand it, in Mongolia. The retreat started yesterday and is until the end of the month. I know many of us can not attend this retreat, but I was thinking to be "part of it", for lack of a better term, we could recite the Mani Mantra "x" ...

Re: Questions about Vajrayana
Thank you both very much for the reply and helping me to understand. The quote was from another thread here at DW. I didn't understand how it could be correct, hence my confusion. The last post in this thread is where it came from. http://www.dharmawheel.net/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=13529&p=176...

Questions about Vajrayana
This quote from another thread got me wondering/confused. Please note the bold , my emphasis, as to my question. All sentient beings will have to eliminate their karma to eliminate rebirth. The path should be the goal. We can't expect an animal or lower realm, human being to adhere to a Mahayana pra...

Re: Buddhism & Morality
Also, in my opinion, the "rules" are just a right way to live. And be mindful of our actions. As you said, Buddha made them as he went along to keep the Sangha out of trouble. To me the one that was made for that reason, more than the others, was to avoid intoxicants. The rest, as I said, ...

Re: Types of Bodhisattvas in Vajrayana
There are a lot of different manners to eat our noodle Dharma soup. But the soup doesn't digest if we grasp to the way we feel comfortable with, we need to eat. Then it digest and all focus on the way how to do is gone. There is just peace and no corrections of others' spoons or bowls, while they a...

Re: Relation of 4NT & 8FNP to tantric grounds and paths?
I read this this morning and thought it may be of some help. The Noble Eightfold Path consists of three parts, which can be practised first sequentially, then concurrently. The first is Moral Conduct. It is the clearing of the garbage floating on the surface of the lake of our mind. The second is Me...

Here is a little bit of information I read in "The Wish-Fulfilling Golden Sun" By Lama Zopa Rimpoche On page 47 it says: There are spirits called nagas, inhabiting the animal realm, who are very rich and possess many stores of jewels. (The naga spirits have bodies half-human and half-anima...

Re: compromise and relationships
Thank you Monsoon.
That seemed like quite the experiment and it seems your results were quite good.
This might be even one I may try. It will also help me break my ego down more.
