  1. I agree with your first point. But your last a bit harsh is it not?
  2. No it was made by the newspapers.
  3. Life after Awakening

    Guru, guru, on the wall, Who's the wisest of them all? The wisest DaoBum so they say, Is wise enough to stay away.
  4. Disappearing threads ?

    Can you find my reading glasses?
  5. Disappearing threads ?

    I agree with this idiot ... http://thedaobums.com/topic/36001-help-us-help-buddhist-discussion/?p=573634
  6. Disappearing threads ?

    I hope it was me. In fact I confess now. I am the guilty one. I demand crucifixion.
  7. Disappearing threads ?

    Alien intervention I reckon.
  8. Life after Awakening

    And a folly shared is a folly doubled.
  9. Life after Awakening

    A Lament That thread snagged from my magic seat, Has left me guru-less and incomplete, And I forever will just be, A flea on top of other fleas.
  10. Disappearing threads ?

    This existed and now doesn't? What's going on?
  11. Disappearing threads ?

    I wonder what type of internal cultivation involves cross board criticism of others who may disagree with you. Odd really that the fascination of lighting lightbulbs at a distance justifies such a petty state of mind.
  12. What more can one do than spread laughter and smiles where ever you go?
  13. From that article: ... so the way this has been linked to the refugee crisis and the recent influx into Germany is disingenuous. By the way - if an asylum seeker is found guilty of this through the due process of law I think they should be deported.
  14. I know it's dangerous to point this out, as it might prompt another spin off conversation, but the idea of the precious human birth does not put humans at the top of an evolutionary chain. It puts us in the middle between gods and demi-gods and animals. Which was the common view in ancient India. Just as a side note as well even Darwinian Evolutionary Theory does not put us top of anything - though you could argue we are the most successful of one branch of primates.
  15. That's the Pedants' Revolt ...
  16. 1381 ... the Pedants Revolt.
  17. I think you may be demonstrating your lack of dyslexic high IQ. I feel convinced. What happened to jolly old Dzogchen?
  18. It is usual to spell English with a capital 'e'.
  19. Wells, Gatito was making the point that poor spelling can be dyslexia which in turn can be a sign of high intelligence. So there was no need to take umbrage at my (obviously humorous remark as I finished it with a to show I was being light hearted) remark. And you do not need to lecture us about the 'US' and language as neither of us are American.
  20. Yes father did you call?
  21. No not hard at all. The allegories you quote do not match the explanation you gave above - so I concluded that your understanding is wrong. I wasn't opening a debate about it - I just wanted to check you meant that cave allegory that's all.
  22. ..but cannot spell immediately ...???
