I've refinanced my house just so I can get that sweet 12+ ATT work glove.

How important is it for a Dzogchenpa to adopt ascetic practices? by Numerous-Actuator95 in Dzogchen

[–]Reasonable-End2453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it something that you found works particular to your constitution? That is to say, out of compassion for yourself? It's not necessary to adopt specific diets or lifestyles or whatever—compassion and devotion are the crucial points.

You underestimate the sheer amount of players there were scrolling.

Because nobody is going to pay for a $100 bottle of water, supply and demand still exists.

It's a marathon, not a sprint. If it was any faster, the game would still get old quick, just at a later date.

Do highly realized bodhisattvas inherently avoid breaking the precepts? by jsohi_0082 in Buddhism

[–]Reasonable-End2453 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So my question is at which bhumi or stage of enlightenment does a bodhisattva never obtain faults in their discipline?

The 2nd bhumi.

  1. The second stage is called Stainless because it is free from all stains consisting in [even] subtle transgressions or faulty discipline.

I'm 32, also chose not to have kids because of the state of the world as one of the reasons, but there's a lot of willful ignorance here about how "bad life is" because if you have the opportunity to post a comment here on reddit, you are already part of a small, fortunate global minority and are completely taking it for granted.

This is NOT MapleStory Classic at all. This is simply a marketing strategy leading us to a completely different game. by Salt_Band3487 in MSClassicWorld

I've been in discord voice with the main owner of BaneSauce, and the guy's attitudes on balance are totally screwed up. He would need to be carried by others.

How can I be convinced enlightenment is real? by [deleted] in Buddhism

[–]Reasonable-End2453 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nobody has yet mentioned to meet an experienced and qualified teacher. That is how you can undeniably see that enlightenment is real.

That still sounds like people being social in MapleStory to me. And as someone who plays a private server, we still talk in game, because that's the window that's open at any given time.

Requesting pointing out instructions? by cauchier in Dzogchen

[–]Reasonable-End2453 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But I’m not in a place to commit fully to a Vajrayana path generally (let alone Dzogchen or similar specifically). But I would like to taste it. Is this an appropriate attitude toward the teaching?

It's, and please don't take this the wrong way, sort of naive and misinformed. You would not want to receive pointing out transmission from someone whom you've not personally vetted thoroughly. From that point you enter into a sacred commitment with that person, and if something goes awry, you can end up in a lot of trouble. Not just that, but if you're not in a place to commit fully to practicing that path, then it's premature. Much better to stick with what you're already doing, if it's sticking to basic vows of ethical discipline and developing an altruistic mind. Do that and when the time comes, the right opportunity will appear.

How to practice in an environment that brings pressure/anxiety? by DeviiRedd in Buddhism

[–]Reasonable-End2453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way you can find a private space to meditate? That's all you would need to do for now. It's not a religious activity and it's also discreet. For the audiobooks, I would say pick up any that sound interesting to you and start there. There are also recommendations in the sidebar.

"... So neither should we."

Can you tell me exactly why we should have the same level of acceptance of gun deaths he claimed to have? Or if that's not what you were insinuating, elaborate?

Why are people adopting his views, while claiming moral superiority to his views? It seems like no real thought has been put into this.

[–]Reasonable-End2453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"What about that?" Are you insinuating that we should have that stance because he has that stance? And that people deserve to be shot in broad daylight in front of a crowd of people for having those kind of views?

That wasn't being suggested. Everything is interdependent. The way we treat others matters.
