Re: Is My Job Wrong Livelihood?
Suffering is my teacher. That's why I am on this planet. There are so many teachers here.

Re: Is My Job Wrong Livelihood?
Sorry, I don't watch movie. I meditate, and be mindful of my breathing, my thoughts and my action- other may disagree, but this is what I do. You call me friend, but your words are hardly friendly- yet you mentioned wisdom and relaxation. Nonetheless, I thank you for allowing me to express my point ...

Re: Is My Job Wrong Livelihood?
Thank you again for pointing out. Whatever that path is, I will be mindful as I have always been, every breath, every moment, every leave that I rake. And, if someone must take my life for what I did, I will bow down for it.

Re: Question on meditation
how will I know I am not a beginner any longer? If a person who has been meditating for 20 years on and off and not getting benefit out of meditation, is he still a beginner? If a person who has been meditating for 20 years straight, but full of arrogance and ego, is he advanced? Don't worry about ...

Re: Tel us about your meditation experience
After a while, it becomes part of you. The goal is so you become aware 24/7. Meditation doesn't stop simply because you already left your sitting cushion.

Re: Is My Job Wrong Livelihood?
Also, one thing I want you to see, is that soldiers are not bad people- they are actually good people willing to do what is necessary to protection their country and countryman- including giving up their lives. Soldiers have no say about what they can or can't do, they must follow the orders give by...

Re: Is My Job Wrong Livelihood?
As I remember, the five precepts use the word "avoid killing", not "Do not kill" . If I am in extreme pain and no medication can offer me comfort, must I continue this way? - that would be hell on earth! Surely, if I ask someone to put myself out of misery, is it a murder/ killin...
