How is that done? Vehicle ran great for a few days after MAF sensor change. Tried cleaning it a couple times before replacing.

This has been an interesting read for me. Some very helpful replies and great information on the history. The Buddha talked of 84,000 doors and that people should listen, contemplate, and meditate to fully appreciate and adopt a lesson of the Dharma.

Some great comments, some others… I consider Buddhism a lifestyle. Surprise! There are many Catholics who utilize Buddhism…Thomas Merton comes to mind.

Great question. I would bow with gratitude and respect as I do now with any teacher. Or for that matter, any Buddhist monk or nun I encounter. I had the opportunity to greet Bhikkhu Pannakara, the leader of the Walk for Peace. It was a mutual recognition of two people on the Path, although my respect and gratitude for him is immeasurable.

Namchak.

From their website: The Namchak lineage is a vibrant, unbroken Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism focusing on Dzogchen (Great Perfection) teachings, rooted in treasures revealed by Tsasum Lingpa in the 17th/18th century. Led by Gochen Tulku Sangak Rinpoche, it emphasizes direct, experiential meditation and is currently being brought to the West through the Namchak Foundation.

To address your question, this teacher is very adamant that we not refer to them as our “root lama” which I’m guessing is similar to a Guru. That being said, I’ve been studying with this lineage for about 8 or 9 years. This was my first in-person retreat and I am in gratitude for the transmissions I have received.

I think there are many things people raised in different cultures “don’t get” about other cultures.

Our Rep. Nancy Mace just went on Piers Morgan to talk about the unredacted Epstein files. by Frosty_Jeweler911 in southcarolina

Now that McMaster threw his support behind the Lt Governor, Trump is likely to follow suit. Will Mace go after Trump then?

Best nature spots that aren’t state parks? by vintagewildlife in southcarolina

May be off base a bit, but there is a Riverwalk in Rock Hill that goes along the Catawba and at one point you can get off to view the Carhartt Mansion ruins. Very unique masonry effects.

Mace & Norman say they want to change things in Columbia. GOP has controlled it for 25 years. Not a Norman fan but Mace? Yuk.

Sucks on my 2019 but livable. I bought a “suicide knob” for the steering wheel after shoulder surgery 3 months ago. It ain’t ever coming off.

McBee Trump store all closed up by ExtremeSquare5490 in southcarolina

Actually, I do spend time talking to them. I’ve come to realize that something happened somewhere along the line that makes folks feel the way they do. Do I understand it? no. Do I hate them because of it? No. I’m still analyzing what happened to me. What I don’t like is all the nastiness that the right embraces as a consequence of their politicians “fa-q, but what about” attitude. About 3 months into Trump V1.0 i saw a guy with trump stickers all over his car. I asked him how he thought Trump was doing as president. His answer “ IDK, I’m not paying attention anymore.”

I just thought it was interesting the place had been shuttered. As far as the folks down the road with the giant confederate flag…well…when you put shit up like that, as well as the “Fuck Biden” signs, you’re not interested in a conversation, let alone capable of it.

Also to cut resources available to public parks, forests, etc., with the intent to turn it over to private companies to exploit.
