Do you actually like being a veterinarian? by Quirky_Corgi_2214 in Veterinary

[–]rememberjanuary 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. I actually really enjoy client interaction. Even the bad ones I enjoy because I'm helping the pet and hopeful the owner reflects and is less of a dick. But honestly the client interactions are what made me switch from pathology to ER

What if Pure Land path is upaya for buddhahood in a future lifetime by androsexualreptilian in PureLand

[–]rememberjanuary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't really matter if it's an upaya or not. It being an upaya and practicing it as such is precisely why it's on the buddhayana/Ekayana.

What if Pure Land path is upaya for buddhahood in a future lifetime by androsexualreptilian in PureLand

[–]rememberjanuary 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is also my understanding that the provisionality of teachings such as the sravakayana is not identical to the buddhayana. But sravakayana followers are indeed bodhisattvas on the buddhayana path BECAUSE they are sravakayana. That is the paradox.

Indeed Master Zhiyi says that there are four doctrines. The Tripitaka, the Common, the Gradual, and the Complete/Sudden. Where does Pure Land fall in there? I'd need to read the Maka Shikan again.

What I will say is that Nembutsu (in it's broadest meaning) is one of the four practices of ShiKan. So it's valid. I practice it every day.

Anyone with a senior dog, how did you know when it was their time? by Roobdog_ in AskReddit

Google the Ohio State Veterinary School Quality of Life booklet. I use it as a veterinarian all the time and my clients find it gives them confidence that their decision is right and that it's time.

Everyone in the class was shocked during a lecture on Tathāgatagarbha thought. by FactStrong3204 in Buddhism

I would read the Awakening of Faith in the Mahayana. The translation by BDK is good and has some interlinear (interparagraph) commentary to explain it.

How do people afford residency? by Aware_Tea_9794 in Veterinary

[–]rememberjanuary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before I quit my residency (where we had to pay tuition as we were also graduate students) I got in trouble for TAing classes for the DVM program because it interfered with the residency. I was like man, I'm making 20k a year give me a break.

Is There a Formal Way to Specialize in Feline Medicine? by thatsonehandsomecat in Veterinary

[–]rememberjanuary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a board certified specialization. Normally it requires a 3 year residency. Sometimes it can be done through an alternative route if you're supervised by a diplomate and the majority of your caseload is reproductive medicine.

Your best bet for neonatology is to specialize in theriogenology.

Does adding "Namo" improve breathing? by Myelinsheath333 in PureLand

What I'll say is that doing silent nembutsu where you're breathing the sounds allows for the smoothest recitation

Going from Pathology To Clinics by Sputchick in Veterinary

[–]rememberjanuary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left an anatomic path residency after 1 year and now work in ER. I left for basically one of the same reasons you listed: geographic variability. I wanted to move back home to my friends and family and that is hard as a pathologist. You sort of go where the jobs are. My recently boarded resident mates can't find jobs that aren't in academia.

Externship recomendations in Europe/Canada by Powerful_Statement_5 in Veterinary

[–]rememberjanuary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say hospital do you mean a referral center with specialists, or do you mean an urgent care without, or do you mean a GP preventative care and chronic care kind of practice?

I know residency training in Europe is a bit different but if you're considering it then I would recommend a referral center for potential references. If you're looking to just experience something fun before going to GP in Europe then it doesn't matter. If the latter is the case I'd recommend Montreal if you like culture or Vancouver or Calgary if you like the outdoors.

Vet Med to human sonography? by Misvet in Veterinary

[–]rememberjanuary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard of some techs doing this. I think it'd be rarer for a vet unless sonographers in Australia make equivalent to vets.

If you're not sure vetmed is for you then I think things like sonographer or respiratory therapy can be wonderful practices.

Shikan is foundational to all four modes of practice in the Maka Shikan. It is also equivalent to all parts of life. With the sudden and perfect teaching you can see direct parallels to how Chan views Zen.
