    When you get like that is there anything we can do or say to help you through it?
  2. Hello all :)

    Welcome to the bums
  3. Hello, here finding a way out of depression

    Welcome Sublimation In whatever direction you decide to take for practice, take your time and be patient with yourself. I will echo Aussie in that physical activity in the gym or outdoors is probably best in the beginning and maybe some yoga or Tai Chi to get started with.
  4. hi

    Very curious... Penor Rinpoche Born: March 27, 1932 Died: March 27, 2009 Wiki Unless, of course you are the five year old child, reincarnation of the 11th throne-holder of Palyul, one of six “mother monasteries” in Tibet’s oldest Buddhist tradition, known as the Nyingma. Either way, welcome, the first immortal or the youngest member on TDB!?!?!
  5. Why shouldn't we meditate after eating?

    I've only noticed that because it is quiet and I am still I can hear and feel the digestion process. It is a distraction, especially at the temple, in a room full of people.

    A gentle reminder to you, allinone, owner permissions no longer apply outside of personal practice discussions, therefore, you may not lock threads in other areas of the forum.

  9. How do you edit the "about me" tab?

    Go to your profile, click Edit my Profile. You will be taken to a page that says General Account Settings. Scroll about half way down the page and look for Profile Information. Right next to Profile Information is a button that says "Edit my About Me page".
  10. Just another noob finding my way along the path.

  11. Counterbalancing Good & Evil

    Are you trying to counterbalance the "good" things about this forum with your attacks on its members? What is it that you are trying to accomplish? I get that you see me and others as inferior to you, but that still does not allow you to disregard the rules of this forum. Please take the time to read and absorb the contents of the following threads. http://www.thedaobums.com/topic/4237-insult-policy-reminder/ http://www.thedaobums.com/topic/31825-thedaobums-three-foundations-eclectic-egalitarian-civil/ http://www.thedaobums.com/topic/19575-forum-terms-rules/ If you fear being banned taking to heart those three threads will ensure you have an uninterrupted stay on TDB. The choice is yours.

    I encourage you to read your own words, I hope they will be more to your liking.
  13. Powerful places in America

    Sedona, Arizona is one of my favorite places. Just south of there is Mingus Mountain, another spot that offers up some nice energy.

  15. Watching The Birds

    Woodpeckers, starlings and grackles do a number on my fig harvest. I have to watch very closely and pick at the right moment or I will be lucky to get one or two, but the birds are fat and happy.
  16. an appealing forum

    It is not misleading, it is a place to continue the conversation without disrupting another thread. In the area of the forums this conversation began, it is quite specific and maintained more stringently to keep threads on topic. Now, if you would like to continue the conversation, or if you can think of another title for the topic I am happy to do both.

  19. Awareness is exhausting!

    ***MOD TEAM NOTICE*** Some selections from this thread have been split into a new thread to maintain the subject matter and integrity of the topic. This is a friendly reminder to stay on topic in this area of the boards and to remember we have folks here who are seekers. http://www.thedaobums.com/topic/43990-counterbalancing-evil/ ***
  20. Counterbalancing Good & Evil

    If we diligently practice we grow beyond what others think of or say about us and it becomes irrelevant to our state of being. When we are able to place our awareness on the energy another emits, specifically, in this instance, we are able to see the words as nothing more than attention seeking behavior. I am happy to indulge your thirst, however, it will no longer be in this thread. I ask as a fellow member and moderator of this forum to please get back on topic or let me know that you'd like to continue this conversation in another thread. As I have offered previously, I will gladly split our conversation out. Please know that name calling, trolling and derailing threads for our own amusement is frowned upon and could be met with action by staff, especially where folks are asking legitimate questions regarding their practices in system specific areas of the boards.
  21. Counterbalancing Good & Evil

    I am very pleased to be able to make you feel good and comfortable even though I feel no discomfort, nor do I feel bad being the noob you see me as. Perhaps one day you will open your heart and all three of your eyes through practice and you'll really be able to see me if for nothing else than an intelligible conversation that everyone can glean substance from.
  22. Counterbalancing Good & Evil

    There are many teachings and sutras that speak of awareness. Yes, birth and death are spoken of as well, however, that is not what I gathered you to be referring to when so much of your previous post was about good, evil, killing and death. At this point, I am pretty lost as to how all of this ties into the OP. I am happy to discuss anything you'd like, but to keep from derailing the topic of the OP it would need to be done in another thread. Let me know and I will split our conversation out if you have further questions or comments.
