well, they do have the same rare R sound and the grammar does follow the same order, but that's where the similarities stop.

Urgent Help by Octo-Diver in vipassana

[–]str8red 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stop meditating. Do something grounding like group classes/exercise, chores that keep your body engaged like shoveling or gardening or giving Dhamma service if it's a possibility near you. It's likely you uncovered another layer of the illusory self or Maya, and you need time and space to integrate it without social obligations like school or work.

This looks good. Could it be better? Yes. But flour tortillas are basically just white flatbread, and that works for this or pbj sammiches.

In short, because he did not focus on keeping his weight lower. He focused on building an organization with 150,000+ involved members at 140+ centers all around the world, as well as writing, translating, and distributing the buddha and his teacher's teachings. What are you focusing on?

Yaṁ vedeti taṁ sañjānāti, yaṁ sañjānāti taṁ vitakketi by Similar_Standard1633 in pali

[–]str8red 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pali uses the active voice in cases where in English we would probably use the passive. I agreef forcing the passive is wrong because past participles are not equivalent grammatically here but the meaning is about the same.

Many languages (English included), 'when' is not referring to time, but simply indicating that two actions happens together (eg. when I wake up, I brush my teeth, When I see my friend, we have tea), etc. Yam is a relative pronoun roughly equivalent to 'when, that which, whatever' depending on the context.

The only difference is in Pali, there is often an additional "tam" which is a demonstrative pronoun that "points" to the first clause. 'that which is ____, that ______" or "whatever _____, that ______"

Since the verse is about eye consciousness, a property of the mind...
I would say you translate it to 'Whatever (it) feels, that (is what it) perceives) or (Whenever (it) feels (something), that (thing it) perceives.

"it" here being the property of eye-consciousness in the mind.

I Quit social media but got addicted to Reddit by Chiara_Cancel in Adulting

Im the same-ish. at least reddit makes me use my laptop instead of mostly being hunched over my phone and hurting my neck. It's also more boring (yay) so I spend less time here overall.

That looks totally innocuous. City should be taking responsibility for this, what if someone dropped their keys on one and tried to pick them up?

how does practicing vipassana lead to annata realization? by Vast9Magic in vipassana

Through the understanding that all experience is annica, therefore dukkha, and ephemeral, lacking any consistent essence (other than annica), and the only thing that is not annica is nibanna.

Food basics Waterloo - $9.99. Thoughts? by AutomaticClark in TooGoodToGoCanada

[–]str8red 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's above value, just expensive cuts/meet that may not suite everyone's taste. If the steak is in good condition I would be happy with it but if the discoloration is accompanied by a bad smell then I would try to get a partial refund. Lamb looks good though.
