Re: i was being killed.....

I appreciate your sentiments, but I don't think it's exactly accurate to anthropomorphize a crab like this. I doubt very much that a crab will miss its family, for example. But I could be wrong ...

If one cannot get to a teacher then the suttas are extremely helpful to the practise. :namaste: They studied his word by putting into practice his word. Scriptural study is outward study. Practice is i...
