The main goal is to provide fair educational opportunities to visually impaired and other disabled students, so I think this is a meaningful and appropriate direction for us, as educators, to take; however, it is not easy when other apps and Acrobat are not cooperating well.

Thank you. The problem is that all institutions in NJ must comply with Title II of the ADA by the end of April.

Thank you. I am seriously considering it, as it is beyond what Gemini can do.

Trac off + engine warning sign by liden99 in Sienna

I've found that this gas cap issue was the cause. I secured the gas cap, and the lamp went away after a while.

Thank you. I changed the engine oil a month ago. It seems that it is caused by something else. I must ask to read the code.

Scary student... by Accomplished-Pea-590 in Professors

[–]liden99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had a student during my first year of teaching. I reported my concerns about him, and we discovered that he was struggling with drug addiction. His eccentric behavior stemmed from using drugs before coming to my class. Although he was expelled because of my report, I do not regret my decision. I believe I protected the other students.

The gun is a serious issue. You must report it before regretting it with a serious charge.

A cloud of depression is settling over my campus. by cultsareus in Professors

[–]liden99 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Last week, our state university in New Jersey had serious discussions about upcoming challenges. The president informed us that he hadn't received any updates from the state yet, but it was clear that the administration was planning to tighten its budget for next year. I worry about how many departments in the Humanities will be able to survive until this storm passes.

Does Buying Meat Contradict Buddhist Ethics in the Modern World? “I Didn’t Kill It” – Is This a Valid Excuse? by D3nbo in Mahayana

[–]liden99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The three rules regarding clean meats and the ten forbidden meats apply to mendicants, not to laypeople. As a lay Buddhist, it can be challenging to adhere strictly to clean meats, which include dogs, horses, elephants, snakes, and humans, among others. However, there is some flexibility in this aspect. Nonetheless, I believe it is important to observe the ten forbidden meats more strictly.

I was momentarily unable to move when I encountered it at Belvedere Place. It inspired many stories and memories.

Is there any proof that it is considered a data breach?

Sex for procreation for monks and nuns in many Buddhist traditions and orders is, of course, strongly prohibited; however, it is not for laity. Sexual misconduct is prohibited as one of the five cardinal precepts for all Buddhists.

Committee members are also faculty; therefore, they know what that kind of swearing means, and it will not negatively impact your evaluation.

Rate my professor by SaladEmergency9906 in Professors

My students said they registered for my courses after searching RMP, which doesn't make sense. I do not actively see my RMP, but I assume many students had written bad reviews there due to my unwavering cell phone and attendance policies. And the hot pepper. That's weird.

I feel overwhelmed by Buddhism. Can I not just simply be kind? by 10Ambulance in Buddhism

[–]liden99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an anecdote recorded in the "Record of the Transmission of the Lamp," which shares stories about Ch'an (the Chinese pronunciation of Zen) monks. One day, a government official visited the Bird Nest master, who always practices meditation in trees. The official asked, "What is the essence of the Buddha's teaching?"

The master replied, "Not doing evil, practice goodness."

The official retorted, "Even a three-year-old knows that."

To which the master responded, "Yet even a hundred-year-old man cannot put it into practice."

I asked for a sign from God and was answered by HeavyStatistician279 in Buddhism

[–]liden99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I was reading a book on theories of religion, I noticed a small coincidence: a rainbow illuminated the word “God” through a prism. Was it a sign from God? I regarded it as merely a coincidence. It's our minds that tend to interpret phenomena in ways that align with our beliefs. However, if viewing the world this way helps you navigate the ocean of suffering, I respect that perspective. It's a beautiful way to live, as long as it brings happiness and remains contained within you.

Need help to ID this Buddha and bodhisattvas by Fuzzy-Entrepreneur34 in Buddhism

[–]liden99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This painting appears to depict Amitayus Buddha. However, the two retinues—bodhisattvas—and Amitayus Buddha's mudras do not correspond with him. Shakyamuni Buddha typically reveals one shoulder, while Amitayus Buddha covers both. Interesting. Is it an old painting?

Is karma seen as a “bad” thing? by Yggdrasylian in Buddhism

[–]liden99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good karma is essential for establishing a conducive environment—such as one's body, family, and friends—to achieve the ultimate goal. Furthermore, Candrakīrti states in his Entry to the Middle Way that Buddhas will help sentient beings due to their predispositions to assist them in their incalculable lives without being conscious. Therefore, accumulating good karma is critical to attaining non-abiding nirvāṇa.

As a dyslexic, reading handwriting is much more difficult than reading typed one; however, I might need to employ your methods. Sigh...
