I keep getting too tired and rolling over to fall asleep. I need more discipline for this one

Greetings Josh, Welcome to the 'bums. A monk asked Zhaozhou to teach him. Zhaozhou asked, "Have you eaten your meal?" The monk replied, "Yes, I have." "Then go wash your bowl", said Zhaozhou. At that moment, the monk was enlightened. Hope you have fun here

Hi Morella, Welcome to the 'bums. Plenty of different views here so I'm sure you will have a great time. Enjoy

Cool, sort of like the (in)famous red phoenix. Just thinking about it (i.e. writing this) and I can feel it circulating in my brain. Cool and annoying

That seems a reasonable sumation. This seems to mean that the majority of people, if not all of them, practicing AYP would be doomed to failure by following a flawed method. Is that what you meant?

But when others notice it its funny My opinions change depending on how I feel at the time. I can vacillate around so much I often feel like saying "Look I'm sorry but my past actions can not be used to predict my future actions." Unless the issue is black or white (and how often does that happen!) I prefer to agree rather than argue. If they feel one way, what is to be gained by saying I feel differently.

I'm pretty sure they were from the 11 previous pages . I'm using the Hemp seed oil soap to brush my teeth at the moment. Tastes good, gums feeling dry and from green tea, thinking of trying oil pulling :

I like the fat laughing Buddha's, I have one on my desk. They are just symbols. and thanks for the image of Jesus, he has cool eyes

Yes, I often think "Mmmm why had that rubbed me the wrong way" I just need to refrain from replying so quickly

Thanks for you efforts, would these be something I could point Utorrent at? Or someone might have a site they can upload them to.

if it helps I put Taoist on the census forms

Jonathan Livingston Seagull, written by Richard Bach. I read it at the very end of the 80's in highschool. My first "spiritual" book

Another cool thing about Morality being the most important training is that it is of most benefit to others / society. Concentration and Wisdom have much to offer the individual. But they are not of much benefit to others, wisdom perhaps, but not if it is presented without love and compassion

Thanks, pretty sure it was your original post that I pinched the link from in post #1 These online books seem to generate the best discussions. Care to share a favourite verse?
