  1. Women are not considered as a complete entity in Buddhism. Their body is not considered fit to attain enlightenment and become Buddha. There is a concept that women are not complete until they attain enlightenment to become reborn as a man. Discussion welcome.

    I've had discord for a while, presently I'm lurking, reading everything you have written and measuring your worth.

    Freudian slip?

    I'm curious to know, are you speaking ESL (English as a second or foreign language, the use of English by speakers with different native languages.)? Some of your expressions come across as condescending in tone. It may be unintentional?

    Excellent of you to make such a generous offer, I accept. When do we start?

    also as seducers (even when we're celibate), deceivers, corrupters and all round scapegoats for the perversities of men. https://qz.com/india/586192/theres-a-misogynist-aspect-of-buddhism-that-nobody-talks-about

    One would certainly hope this to be the case...and yet it may not have been so. Oh - to have been a fly on the wall in the mind of the Buddha!

    A direct quote from the ancientmasters.org website of @Neirong who posts here that: "weak, old, infantile people, women and elderly, [are] learning this" https://ancientmasters.org/library/adam-mizner-scam

    Contemplating reading this... "Buddhist literature implies that woman is biologically determined to be sexually uncontrollable...the `eternal feminine' as temptress & seductress is a common element in religious thought,"

    This was the source. I'd be interested to read more on the subject, it's curious. I wonder what the missing part or parts are, that a man allegedly has, and woman has not!
  12. The Sephiroth

    Most gentle entities I've encountered have been of the feminine (hag/crone/ancient one) aspect. The masculine seemingly more prone to defensive posturing.

    I'm wondering if the python skull anatomy may be related to Jacobson’s organ, also called vomeronasal organ. It's tongue flicks up and into a receptor place in the roof of the mouth. Other than that I have no idea, neither does snake friend here!
  14. Hermit heretic

    My nature is shy and solitary, perhaps like an otter, unusual to find me in congregation. Allegedly autistic, an artist, working mainly with death, although endeavouring to do no harm, for 'in filth it shall be found'. I disassemble corpses, clean bones, tan skins, create art, ritual, make offerings. Would that I may be granted wisdom. I am searching for insight, for something other. Sometimes life feels unendurable. But today, now it feels sublime.

    Greetings from East Anglia.

    Greetings from East of England Nungali. Your specimens! Wonderful. Mostly here it's roadkill, some are from the shoreline. The hardest skinning was badger, and recently seal. So heavy and the oils so copious, it took a lot of processing. The reverse of skulls and bones often have curious appearances, a hare cervical spine section here looks like a totem pole of canine faces. There's a friend here I will ask about the python. The otters back feet step into it's front footprints, treads lightly on the land, leaving little trace.
