If the sounds in your own mind as you read this text are ones of delirium, it must be you who is delirious!
The issue has already been solved and everybody is relaxed here!
Yes, the issue is solved, people here think you are wacky and have given you permission to invent your own language. Of course, you never needed permission to invent your own language. But your initial inquiry was about trying to "correct" the functioning language of another ethnicity, -which as I said stinks of cultural imperialism.
If you like, please read the previous posts.
I read them all, sadly.
Your attacks are personally against me.
I leveled no personal attacks against you at all. Where do you see a personal attack? You give me advices that I never asked etc.
No, I only suggested that you seek advice from your teacher (assuming you have one), if linguistic issues concerning a language you don't speak is distracting you from actually practicing meditation. (The part about learning Tibetan was a suggestion, hardly advice)
I never insulted you, because I have nothing against you.
I never implied I'd thought you'd insulted me, nor have I leveled any insults at you.. I don't know why you wouldn't actually respond to any of the valid points which I've taken time to communicate to you though. I know nobody personally from Dharma Wheel.
We all know each other in the sense that we are having a conversation, --or trying to.
The only thing I know for you is your nickname "Adamantine" which in fact is female, like Sönam said yesterday.
According to my language and some others which have genders, Adamantine indicates the female gender, Adamantinos the male, and Adamantino is the neutral.
Actually, it is a word, as you must know-- which in English is defined as
"1
: made of or having the quality of adamant
2
: rigidly firm : unyielding <adamantine discipline>
3
: resembling the diamond in hardness or luster"
And as such is often used in English translations of Tibetan or Sanskrit to refer to the word Dorje or Vajra-- which as you may know is usually associated with the masculine energy, and the phallus.
But I don't particularly care so much, as ultimately we are all beyond gender.
