Time and Culture
Time and Culture
So a lot of times, the time can be looked at culturally and or with ideas, and language.
There are different kinds of language, including transcendental, and such like this;
and whether we are advanced sometimes is shown by the words and thoughts we share.
What do you think the 24th century will be like, if things only get better in terms of inter-cultural understanding?

Jetsun Milarepa 1052-1135 CE
"Butchers, prostitutes, those guilty of the five most heinous crimes, outcasts, the underprivileged: all are utterly the substance of existence and nothing other than total bliss."

Re: Time and Culture
Sometimes I drive to work in my gas guzzling car and I reflect that people like me are the reasons why our planet is dying. "Innocent" people like me who need to get to work.
Then, the monks uttered this gāthā:
These bodies are like foam.
Them being frail, who can rejoice in them?
The Buddha attained the vajra-body.
Still, it becomes inconstant and ruined.
The many Buddhas are vajra-entities.
All are also subject to inconstancy.
Quickly ended, like melting snow --
how could things be different?
The Buddha passed into parinirvāṇa afterward.
(T1.27b10 Mahāparinirvāṇasūtra DĀ 2)

No, but thank you Amanita. I do not read books by violent individuals. Killing toward animals is also considered killing; I do not consider is less.

A problem perhaps unique to Canada is that here, it is common to live 2hr+ from your work, given the extreme sparsity of the population density here.
