John, Thanks for your concern and your suggestion. I understand that misunderstandings occur, but frankly I was surprised when Michael misunderstood my email...
It would be overly idealistic to insist on a world where the words one writes and/or speaks are what matter Ken ... Perhaps you are right. For myself I do not...
Dear John, Please forgive the delay. Am battling some stubborn respiratory infections. ... I so much agree. I don't believe "Lone Rangers" make it, at least...
Dear Ken, Please do not misinterpret this to be either patronizing or condescending but I think you need to take a breath, re-read what I wrote and your...
Dear Joe, Sorry to hear about your illness and I hope you're well on your way to a full recovering. There's no need to explain the delay. It seems the length...
Dear John, Your response saddens me a great deal. For it is, not only patronizing and condescending, but also pretentious. I honestly expected to hear ...
Dear Ken, It was only in the spirit of the Pali word "metta" ("caritas" in Latin), that I suggested you take a breath and re-read my posting rather than my...
Dear John and Ken, It is natural for us all to see things that suit ourselves. But, I ask. Has this brought either of us closer to the Buddha way? The...
Dear Joe, Having a difficult time tonight so I figured I'd spend some time on my reply. No guarantees as to cohesive thought, though. I laughed at the concept...
Good morning everyone! I would like to share with this group that I got married Jan 5th. I wanted to share this with you since I find this group very...
Whenever I have the ability to detach a bit, I look at my anger, disagreements, as a sign that I am operating from ego. Those emotions always brings about a...
Dear Steve, Congratulations on your wedding. You certainly kept the fact a well-kept secret 'til now. Best wishes to you and the bride. Ah, to be young and...
John thanks for the congrats. Newly-wed yes but young no. I guess you're as young as you feel. I have already reached that 40 and beyond mark. This is my...
Dear Steven, 40+ Ah, to be young and.... If one is as young as one feels I'm in a desparate situation (ugh!). My wife and I are married neigh on 35 yrs. I tell...
Dear John, I hope you were able to gain comfort and get some good sleep. I'm glad that you were to enjoy some of Paramahansa Yogananda's work. I agree with...
Very verty funny! So this is Buddhism in action? Reading your posts I get this wonderfull picture of orange and brown robed Buddist monks in a very heated food...
Chris, I get the impression that we are people wanting to learn about Buddhism. We have an opportunity to see our foibles as we interact with each other. I...
I, too, have read about the experiences with Kundalini and frankly I don't want to have that experience though I have heard there are many benefits. The...
Dear Chris, Certainly a visual and thanks for the laugh (I needed it). Only thing: if it's Tibetan Buddhists it should be burgundy not orange and brown. If I...
Dear Judy, I'm totally unfamiliar with Kundalini (guess that'll be my homework). Can you provide me with info and the experiences to which you referred? I'd...
John, I can't say I know much at all. I've been running across mention of it for about the past ten years. I was only commenting upon it after I think it was...
Dear Judy, I did a real fast "google" on Kundalini and you're correct in what you've stated. Joe and I have been discussing similarities/differences between...
Dear Joe, Good sleep? Doesn't happen. The surgeries were successful (according to the neuro-surgeon) and I'm supposed to "live" with it as if one has a choice...
Dear Judy, I definitely agree with you. Everything that happens is a learning opportunity that we can apply to our own lives. I know for me that watching the...
Dear John, You are correct in that kundalini is the feminine aspect - to be more specific considered 'shakti,' or goddess energy (I'll get back there in a ...
Friends: Energy is The Chief Hero: Root of all Success! Your majesty, like a man might reinforce a house that was falling down with an extra piece of wood, &...
