no. impeccable ally.

an impeccable ally. really useful articulation, thankyou for that. the misunderstandings arrive over what is impeccability. I'm heartened by the quote that VMarco uses about truth being something about which it is not possible to disagree. When we reach that place of truth.. there are no more shades of grey ...'its a grey area' we say when we mean it is subject to interpretation, dependant on angle of observer.. in fact that is a state of divergence because it is in only partial relationship to the truth, or The Truth. Thankyou VMarco also for writing about truth. 'my truth'.. 'your truth'.. are realtive truths and therefore not actual 'truth' at all.. some other word would be more accurate.. 'my limited perception, such as it is'... might be the way to describe.. I would like to learn the language of the heart mind.

Anglican church says precisely this. Local anglican vicars said to me precisely this.

~ moderation warning ~ belittling and demeaning - fest may be something people fall into along with a mince pie and a santa hat... it could be a side effect of too much turkey. Whichevers, please now withold less than civil posting and approach civil and aimiable discussion. Anyone is subject to suspension rules, regardless of ho ho ho seasonal bhodisattvanessishness. TRUE FACT.

In which case we can find 'compassion' where we will. And not find it, also.

alwayson, could you contribute to the discussion constructively by making clear what your point is, not just by contradiction, but by explication of your point. Otherwise, your contrarianism acts without creativity. And is therefore lacking utility.

.. yes! same posture. really good to find out about rushan, so I add my thanks to TI's.

Yes. thankyou for quoting that. are there bhodisattvas which dont give off smoke? the type that have the action of a bhodisattva due to the way that we receive them, purely? the bhodisattva being in the eye of the beholder, as it were.

tea party literature. what a lovely idea. little stories about jellies and cucumber sandwiches.

the fire under the water has to be present or no cooking occurs

So is contextual. Which would mean, in practice... ?

That is a good answer. Thanks, yes. If we know them by their fruits, they are familiar fruits we resonate with.. .. its a verification and we can feel a comfort in that. If their fruits are not fruits we have ever seen before and they look gnarly and peculiar.. we might look at those unfamiliar fruits and reckon they could be poisonous.

I have heard this too! How do we recognize them?

Thats' very interesting 3bob. I dont know about it, could you tell more?

If a bhodisattva is not polite or easy to get along with... but we know we will be awakened by receiving his treatment without growling and snapping at his ankles.. what do we do with our growl reflex?

Thanks for posting this, anamatva.

what if they have a doglike appearance and you put them beyond reproach but they wont stay there. what happens then?!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY.

'God have you forsaken me?' is an essential part of the alchemy. The rhetoric of it employed at that moment is to illustrate the darkest point before the dawn. imu.

I believe we are speaking about germoloids.

This is the best thread ever posted on the webs. I just ate a mice pie! gluten free and full of micey goodness. YUM. Tonight i am going out mincing and nobody can stop me. dont even try.

Excellent, thankyou, bubbles, so much, for taking the time to fill out the picture. How different it looks, according to the way in which we look. How misleading is partial evidence.
