Re: I need some life advice

I don't understand what you mean by "make a packet", or what I have the skills for. There is no need for hostility though, I do not wish you or anyone in this community ill will. I just thought a Buddhist forum might be a good place to ask for advice. I've tried my very best to be respectf...

Re: I need some life advice

I've tried my very best to be respectful here, I do not understand why it is necessary to be so rude and condescending. I wish you the best with your path. Mettā meditation may be a practice you will find useful with others in the future. I my practice is private and not a topic for public discussio...

Re: I need some life advice

I'm with you on this pemachophel...everyone is being very friendly and open with maynoth but in return he ignores direct questions about his religion or else replies with evasive nonsense like 'I didn't say I wasn't a Buddhist'. My growing suspicion is that it may be something decidedly 'inappropri...

Re: I need some life advice

The best choice is the middle way. Do meditation and work in a healthy amount. So you will not be poor, not rich, not materialistic and not in spiritual dreams. I do my meditation often while i'm working. If that were possible I would. I have to make a choice one way or the other. Thank you though.

Re: I need some life advice

Maynoth, Since this is a specifically Buddhist forum and you have said yourself that you are not a Buddhist, I respectfully request you take it somewhere else. Good luck and best wishes. :namaste: I never said I wasn't Buddhist, only that my main practice isn't a form of Buddhist meditation. I don'...

Re: I need some life advice

I've put much research into this, I can do it. I'll need 4 years of school, 4 years of self study and 5 years of with an unpaid or low paid internship. After that I can write my own ticket. If I have 10 years experience, and a masters degree and some extremely high level certifications I can earn ne...

Re: I need some life advice

I have two options, I can chase wealth, or I can chase my dreams. If I chase my dreams I'll be in extreme poverty, beyond what I find acceptable [bold mine].... Sounds like you already made your choice. I don't really know what to do at this point, working a full time job no matter what will kill m...

Well assume by the time you had wealth, you'd be too old or for some other reason incapable of chasing your dreams.

In that scenario where you cannot have your cake and eat it too, which would you choose?
Dreams

thank you :)

Re: I need some life advice

If I were to say the same about what you practice, I'd venture to guess you and most others would be offended by it, so I won't. I will however say the results I am looking for are only offered by what I am studying The difference is that we know where Andrew108 is coming from...whereas you are bei...

Re: I need some life advice

Really I appreciate it, I do. But what I am looking for are peoples opinions on the matter. If you were forced to choose between your dreams and extreme poverty, or giving up your dreams and wealth, which would you pick and why? I see. I would choose wealth because I can chase my dreams when I have...

Re: I need some life advice

When you think enlightenment is something you achieve then the tension inherent in that belief prevents enlightenment. When you think that enlightenment has a cause such as meditating 20 hours a day then the result you get will be conditioned and you will be a long way from genuine enlightenment. I...

Re: I need some life advice

Maynoth, respectfully, I am sure there are other options available to you, but perhaps you're feeling a bit blue about this question, and not seeing the options. Just for some background I've spent 5 years doing research on every career listed on BLS.GOV that has decent pay, and reasonable educatio...

Re: I need some life advice

Then my advice is to give up this type of practice because it won't bring you any genuine benefit. If I were to say the same about what you practice, I'd venture to guess you and most others would be offended by it, so I won't. I will however say the results I am looking for are only offered by wha...

Re: I need some life advice

Formal meditation on the cushion is a necessity for most of us. But meditation does not only happen on the cushion. That is true, but what I study is a specific form, an extremely deep state of trance and suspended animation for hours on end, If I had 10 hours to devote to it, I might get to spend ...

Re: I need some life advice

Sorry I didn't mean to imply I wanted to teach. I just want to move away from the USA. Norway, Sweden, Canada, New Zealand, Australia. Canada looks the most realistic at this point. Mostly for political reasons. I fantasize a lot about having a home in a very very rural area, and enough money to pay...
