Wow thats so sad!.

So basically if someone is born in south america,africa or a country without monasteries they cant become a monk in practical terms?.

Or what they do? Get a temporary visa and constantly renew it?

Thats crazy.

Hi all: Question: I always imagined most countries probably had special treatment in terms of providing visas or residency to fully religious people - like priest or monks - , mainly because of humanitary reasons and them not being fully "part of the system". Maybe that was not the case if...

Hi I do not know Delson armstrong, but: -Where Delson Armstrong threaten to sue? -Where Delson Armstrong threaten to sue specifically because someone claimed he is not an arahant?

There should be a digital magazine dedicated to taking pictures of theravada monasteries and provide their basic info, weather, location, square feet, capacity, etc.

PD: im actually not making a movie haha, i just for personal gratification.

Im looking a more sutta like style: located in a forest of squarrels :bow: , hot springs, beautiful nature, 500 Bhikkhus Walking daily for alms to a near town or village, etc. I knows most are beautiful, for e...

I dont know.
Im sure some new rules could be of benefit in this century. But also the danger of changing things is probably greater. Maybe today is "no tea", but tomorrow some absurd idea.

Yes ,you can theoretically stop dukkha by "getting what you want" whenever you want. If you want a yatch, you suffer until you get the yatch. Once.you get it dukkha stops, until you become sad because it wasnt enough to fulfill you. Still, you needed to crave the yatch before obtaining it....

If you for example have cowardice and anxiety about jumping to water. The easiest way to make it dissapear is to become good at water jumping. On the contrary, cowardice and anxiety become bigger if you dont jump to water and keep thinking about why you didnt do it, or if you try to make the anxiety...

You could probably find as cause:

-attention to things that cause restlessness
-breaking precepts

...consciousness also ceases.
So no, no factors.

Since there arent so many, and they are more advanced that most monks, they just get very close to the sangha and teach, keeping that as a profession or some job that helps people.

Hi: Its more like indirect kamma what could make a person wanting to ordain not be able do it. For example if you like gambling because of some old habit or kamma, that could lead you to being in big debt in this life. And that can be a problem for ordaining. Sure, there could be some direct kamma c...

Why not?
We all have probably been mara once.
