Stupid and foolish is never respectfully. How could my person be so foolish to talk on generosity. 20 years not a single time in this realm, that coming about a generous and faithful person. Not a single! Pardon for the disturbance, and it's really time to total abound this realm with it's...

Thought to start a topic on the proper seasons of giving, taking short lasting new peace as a starter for awareness. Crazy politic war... how ever, there are proper times of giving in need

Who ever would try to describe anything beyond the senses and their objects, would get into troubles. Why? Because it's lies out of range. Well, very less become "privat Buddhas". Does good householder think it's maybe possible to start to doubt own ideas and better relay on someone knowing...

That's how lack of freedom comes about. Doubt (in the Buddha and his Dhamma) is one of the five enemies. Along with sensual desire, control-will, lazyness and restlessness. Being still in association with the Nivaranas, one is bond to wander on in the wheel. Good householders cosmos has nothing...

Tittha Sutta: Sectarians It's by Bhante (no idea why some text and link was cut away in the quote.) It's good to stay with serious Venerables. When there is a loophole for denying responsibility, there is no effort toward skilful, and no fear of wrong doing. All the way open for the defilements...

Of course not. It's sense-desire, that leads beings to all bad and crimes. The more indebted toward senses, the more animal, in fear, and directed by craving, aversion and delusion. The "God" for animals (even humanoid) uses sense pleasure promises to let them act. God eye, ear, nose, tongue...

My person lives since 20 years in south asian forest. May good householder be sure that he knows personally "nothing" about wild animal and living day and night next to them. No, not like a camper or eco lover, but just with a set of robes and a bowl. Right next, yet far in regard of taking...

Good householder will not like to get informed, but neither are releasing moral and ethic democrazy nor are religions. No doubt that there are cheaters, promising fruits from wrong or no given causes. And it's maybe useful to tell further, that nobody made good householder to become here. Of...

Still "we". Good to investigate oneself, to what kind one might fit, good householder.

By animal-like deeds, a human becomes a match for an ox. By knowing goodness and feeling obligated, gratitude, an animal becomes a match for good householder. Certain many pets, which are of course not common animal, are more human then most human. Don't one think that, for example, pets can...

And how does good householders conscious answers, having killed and harmed other beings, gained by their lose?

It's not inherent a matter of birth. Actually there are many "special animals" actually more "human" that most human. More virtues, knowing goodness better. It's dangerous to place one's object of pride on birth. One who does more superior, is called superior. A matter of virtue, lesser a...

Only very, very less being, after having gained a human existence, gain are reborn as human or Devas, much much more are destinated toward animal womb, hungry ghost, hell realms. Being clear about the impart of actions and view, knowing the right way, there is all reason of much goodwill and...

So does good householders ideas just base on faith, believe, arguments, experience, investigation as far as memory and attention allows, right? Not really knowing what's the outcome of every single action he does. Just based on some memory and consideration, hear-saying, experiences in actually...

As for the question itself (assuming that good householder likes to touch the distinguishing between human existence and common animal existence): It's very, very seldom to gain a human existence, more seldom even to gain birth in an area of right view, and not mental defect. Even more seldom...

The topics astray shows already well how it goes on by unrestrained minds, "ever building on..." projection, profiling. One can use "objectivication" as synonym for "projection", and to understand this way of common thinking, a useful essay on it: The Arrows of Thinking: Papañca & the path to...

People like romantic suggestions... Dreams related to sensual joy, even if heavenly, stay just dreams. Why? Because such joy isn't lasting, real, and as conditioned, unease. How one remembers, so one thinks/dreams. Good to remember aging sickness decay of what ever conditioned, in the sense...

Yes, love, craving, is what keeps beings on dreaming on...

It's certain seldom that one might see the dangers in the world, good householder, but it's not enough to just realice the faults. It's extreme more seldom that someone sees and declares also the cause, the ending, and the path out of the wheel.
