The "over" in your surname is actually a false friend with the modern English "over." The "over" in your name comes from "ofer," which used to refer to the banks of a river or the beach by a sea.

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. It might mean identify withdraw process from this specific body. Only a big trouble when it involves what the wife wants. <grin> I can handle her though, after a...

Re: Monks in Bagan in need of food

I'd gladly buy the rice if someone can explain that it's allowable to offer it in that way. I am breathing through the mouth here not much left in me. Monks/Nuns do not handle money and handle only the food placed in their alms bowl. All their needs are met by people not ordained. Metta :anjali:
