Hi Minjeay,

My username is that of an old friend, a dog. And I wander here just around and think I play my role very well. In same way it is a theatre here. All usernames are presenting roles which are played in this little theatre.
But behind the theatre wisdom can shine. We therefore can use what is useful for us and continue our way. What is not useful we let go.
Then what we share with others, is our own practice.

Buddha:
"Just as gold is burnt, cut and rubbed,
examine well or carefully my speech
And then accept it, not otherwise,
for respect’s sake.“

Have a nice day.

It is a shame to see you leaving so soon. I understand if you feel that this forum is not the place for you.

Take care, and all the best.

Aaaaaahhh... Okay. I understand now. If I remember correctly I said that I cannot take your condemnations seriously given your limited experience. I didn't say that you should not be taken seriously. I was just expressing my personal opinion. I wasn't setting a broad ideological platform.
But I see.
You can see someone cry after slapping and would still insist it's their own fault.
Karma has NOTHING to do with fault and blame.
Please, if you understand anything, then you may further elaborate my comment towards oushi. I doubt you're able to. It is okay, obviously you feel justified.

You just broke with what you wrote formerly, that you would excuse if I name were you insulted me.
Now obviously you resist.
I don't expect you to change that.
Which makes you a liar.
But that's basically not my problem.

Just never try to make things up a way that makes them seem you would mean anything more nice, friendly or positive than it looks like. Obviously you lack the virtue to get this trust as a free gift in advance.
No, I am not a liar. Clearly you have misinterpreted some of the things I have been saying.

"(8) All of our sufferings derive from our habits
Of selfish delusions we heed and act out.
As all of us share in this tragic misfortune,
Which stems from our narrow and self-centered ways,
We must take all our sufferings and the miseries of others
And smother our wishes of selfish concern.
...
(11) Depressed and forlorn, when we feel mental anguish,
This is the wheel of sharp weapons returning
Full circle upon us from wrongs we have done.
Till now we have deeply disturbed minds of others;
Hereafter let’s take on this suffering ourselves.
...
(14) When we hear only language that is foul and abusive,
This is the wheel of sharp weapons returning
Full circle upon us from wrongs we have done.
Till now we have said many things without thinking;
We have slandered and caused many friendships to end.
Hereafter let’s censure all thoughtless remarks.
...
(17) When supreme holy gurus find us displeasing,
This is the wheel of sharp weapons returning
Full circle upon us from wrongs we have done.
Till now we have turned from the gurus and teachings,
Preferring the counsel of misleading friends;
Hereafter let’s end our dependent relations
With those who would turn us away from the path.
..
(49) As it’s true what I’ve said about self-centered interest,
I recognize clearly my enemy now.
I recognize clearly the bandit who plunders,
The liar who lures by pretending he’s part of me;
Oh what relief that I’ve conquered this doubt!

(50) And so Yamantaka, spin round with great power
The wheel of sharp weapons of good actions now.
Three times turn it round, [14] in your wrathful-like aspect
Your legs set apart for the two grades of truth,
With your eyes blazing open for wisdom and means.
...
(53) Batter him, batter him, rip out the heart
Of our grasping for ego, our love for ourselves!
Trample him, trample him, dance on the head
Of this treacherous concept of selfish concern!
Tear out the heart of this self-centered butcher
Who slaughters our chance to gain final release!"

Every one of us.

Those quotes from The Wheel of Sharp Weapons say it all.

I'm from Germany, almost 30 years old and working in the field of, I think "life sciences" is the correct term.
Welcome! May you be well, happy and peaceful. May no harm come to you. May all beings be friendly to one another. May the hearts of all beings overflow with lovingkindness and compassion one to another.
