Dhamma Wheel

Greetings, This direction this topic is going is reminding me of a topic I started in February called Drop in, drop out, drop in, drop out... . The topic was started in the Lounge, but in light of this discussion and the fact the Lounge forum is archived, I'll shift it across to Personal Experience ...

Greetings, https://cdn.pbrd.co/images/HEELMW4.png Another consideration when looking at the chart above, which will be most meaningful to those who have been here for a long time, is the sharp spike in activity created and sustained by two major events - firstly what Circle5 has often described as "...

Greetings, Yes, it's all good; quality is better than quantity. :twothumbsup: What I'm enjoying, generally speaking (i.e. this topic aside), is that since the News and Lounge sections have been retired, certain members have been far less quarrelsome, if indeed participating at all. As such, those wh...

Greetings,

Please note that content violating TOS2f as it relates to vilification of individuals based on their level of experience has been removed. Please desist from any further crass displays of elitism...

Greetings, Although perhaps your rules only count unsubstantiated badmouthing, in which case i wouldnt have a case. Perhaps if it were gratuitous, it might constitute badmouthing, and there is a possibility that this topic may be closed if moderators assess that this line has been crossed... ...and ...

Makes me wonder, are governments not breaking the precept of taking what's not given? Hmm..

The Buddha allowed for appropriate levels of taxation, so I'd suggest no.... but nice "taxation is theft" gag nonetheless.

I'd imagine DW would also turn feminist if enuff really determined feminists rushed the servers and started calling any1 with a different pov a heretic or nazi.

Been there, done that... but in the long-run it didn't work.

Greetings TRobinson465, Its true its a statement of fact, but i figured even things that are factual count as badmouthing. Not really. If something is good or bad by virtue of the facts of the matter, then it is what is is. And as per my above question to you, what is regarded as good by one, may be...

Greetings, I was more talking about the idea that they ban non-feminist users as bad. rather than feminism itself, which i am more neutral towards. OK, well, I'd suggest if there are any doubts about any specific claims that have been made, or bans that you or anyone else wishes to enquire about, su...

Greetings, Not that im a fan of SuttaCentral's forums or its moderators. but isnt there a rule about talking bad about other Buddhist forums? Are you suggesting that feminism is bad? :stirthepot: Surely that's a matter of perspective, no? It's simply a statement of fact that there is a feminist agen...

Greetings, Don't be a feminist, don't be a (male) chauvinist; be a personist, with concern for all humanity based on the content of their character, not their color, gender, etc. Or... better still, be a beingist ! Whatever living beings there may be; Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none, ...

Greetings, notes on Dhamma? Is that a good start to his work? Yes... Notes On Dhamma is his primary text. Letters is also very insightful. Notes On Dhamma + Letters = Clearing The Path... which was linked to in PDF format above. I can't help you with US sourcing, but I bought my copy of each from th...

Greetings, The question is, is throwing food bad kamma or not? I can think of no reason why throwing away expired food would constitute bad kamma. However, before it becomes inedible, it may be advantageous to give it to another person or creature. I believe there is provision for this in the Vinaya...

Dhp 1 refers to dhammā rather than saṅkhārā.

And all dhammas with the exception of nibbana are sankhata, so your objection is moot.
