    What was the livelyhood of Jesus and his near fellows?

    ixoye9871, Sadhu for the generous share. Actually, since churches tend to give rise to "corruption", my person is more interested in how Jesus and his disciples, and those followed them, used to live on, meaning, did they trade or took what was given? Maranguape, Sadhu, supported means what...

    Problems with opening threads, and posting in threads

    Its maybe a different reason as in the OP whereas the general topic seems to be the same. Not sure why, aside of many other troubles with the forum use (error messages, not resolving links...) such again appears (attachment). Let my person know if being the only troubled so that there is no...

    Since those two attributs and means of observing/practicing are common in every useful and benefical religion, yet at the same time the practices whuch are common abounded today in every religion, it might be maybe good to have sub-forums for each and its good to encourage in such rather to...

    Anger

    Then pardon my person for causing some anger with spelling (or better for providing soil for seeds to grow), devoted person. Who caused this anger to become? What do you think? Just in addition, since you call yourself Devoted One (which is actually everybody, mostly to ones defilements): If...

    Maha Ghosananda

    Since you here "love" such lables as "peace" and "interfaith", my person thought of letting you getting known a kind of symbol for this words: Maha Ghosananda, a tiny Cambodian monk (of course more a wordling and not a perfect disciple of the Buddha) but he might be able to inspire some of you...

    Actually, if having less wishes and a strong fundation in faith, unshakeable, it's not at all burdensome but at ease. Less are there, very less, but actually possible for many. For now have to walk for another days food supply, giving others chances to rejoices in faith with it and making...

    "Faith, faith,..." they say. But what is meant by "faith"?

    As Wil likes to think, as some think that circumstances reflect ones mind, being attached to form, taking it as real. There are those who are at peace even if very sick, "punished" or dying, while the most are not even a little at peace yet just enjoying away their old merits, drunken in youth...
