But still holding money, trade, don't live the holly life at a pure state. Why? Because still seeing pleasures of the senses as own, not willing to take what's own as refuge yet. And in this regard, it was said: more worse then an ox. Who not, if in face of losing, wouldn't give up what's not to...

Being fullmoon night, Uposatha (cleaning day, by taking on useful identifications and joy with one's goodness), Atma thought to open a good barrel.Muluposatha Sutta: The Roots of the Uposatha

No, maybe the other side around: they don't take them as their good disciples. That's why it was said, it's not possible to become real disciple of the Buddha by relaying on books and Wiki, since those just serve desired, never teach of what's actually required to let go, to grasp, for a good...

If not starting to do some good efforts, good householder is more worse than an Ox (who seems to have a lot of equanimity, but just that of an eating Ox), since even an ox, when the daylight fades, goes on faster, to reach house timely. Good householder is higher of his action, those are his...

By drinking them, the spirits, and letting them take over control, lost mind... There isn't anybody with virtues, not to speak about Devas and Gods, who sacrifices toward drunkard and people having intoxicated themselfs and so lost all shame and concern.

It the problem of yours whom yours listen to. And nobody does not meet sickness and death, break apart, yet if having swept away all goodness and restrain by intoxication, what will be your refuge, or say ticket, to more secure and better place, or beyond.

Yes, with the lure of sensual pleasures one can unite all, lead them even into war or encourage to sacrifices a lot. One can even stop large ant communities stop large fighting each other, by putting sugar next. Yet as soon as one is no more able to provide with sensuality further, the old goes...

Yes, adds tell yours likewise. But it's a religious forum and not that of the opposite. And yes, religions have the purpose to guide toward heavens. If people would know good, know bad, their wouldn't first not stuck in the painfull sensual realm, and second not need guidance. If it's a...

It's not a contest, but useful, to pick out those with wisdom and flexibility to gain the underlying hardwood, good Brahman. Without proper attention it's just waste of time. A person less reflective, wouldn't take on, and go on searching food elsewhere. Right?

Giving food (rightly obtained, not doing harm for such), generosity (not for any trade) is most praiseworthy, good householder. Wishing others to receive beloved, as well (as long not "drugs"). One who give food, gives life and strength, and it's therefore reason for longlife and strengh...

That's actually a very bad wish, wishing others to become and stay bond in low and painful realms. Wrong is, how ever, done out of not knowing, of which is then also no excuse, good householder.

Yours wouldn't approve such if seeing that what's your joy is many others pain. Wise therfore reflect their past beloves in the food. How, a little wise, would be delight if eating his own son?

To make ones mother responsible for bad habits, is like to claim a God's responsibility for one's good or bad. It's neither because mother, nor because of a super being, that one is a drinker, adulter, liar, thieve, murder... or a virtuous person.

Seemingly most mistake intoxication, and alcohol spirits, as their God, and beyond sensual world, letting them forget the huge abonds of debts and wrong. In common spirit, no, monks aren't using spirits. It's means toward low realms, and no serious religion approves intoxication since not even...

The Sublime Buddha, of course (and in further his Sangha of monks):

Yes, and if good householder would have gotten the teachings on anatta right, he wouldn't cherish mental sankhars, seeing them as anicca, no refuge, a cancer, not worth to regard them as own. It's called ditthi-anusaya: Obsesssion; underlying tendency, "laying down" with certain views, not being...

What "longsuffering"... in regard of some's spirit?

Maybe good householder thinks that being funny wouldn't matter, yet may he be insured that it does.

What hopless ideas...

The Sublime Buddha also told, those who had gone for refuge, that own ideas and preference as the lowest judges. Certain bad translations, of strangely just in revolutionary societies known, serves consume well, like other cheeries good householder picked out and steady slander the Juwels by his...
