Re: Names
How old someone translate their English name into pali? Maybe if you trace your name back to the original language and find the 'not name' words that created your name - you could use that for translating. Never saw this before; http://dictionary.tamilcube.com/pali-dictionary.aspx Metta :anjali: ed...

Re: I’m having problems letting go of self view can you guys help.
Study all you can about anatta - not self. Understanding what is not self leaves ??? as self.

Re: Forgetfulness in Buddhism
Not sure about the context of old aging - But I have a feeling that forgetfulness in this context, is not necessarily a thing of trouble.

Re: This is important
1. Life in any world is unstable, it is swept away: this is the first summary of the Dhamma taught by the Blessed One who knows and sees, accomplished and fully enlightened. Knowing and seeing and hearing this, I went forth from the home life into homelessness. 2. Life in any world has no shelter a...
