If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan ChahYeah... the thing that gets me is that he was a Parthian prince. Parthia being where Iran is now. Quite a trip.

If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan ChahAlso Aon (and Tzetze as well), my generic offer for anyone who is able hold hold an engaging conversation with me for multiple pages: Want to hang out sometime?
Eh? What do you mean by hangout?
If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan ChahI don't live in... Ohio?
And I was kind of hoping you'd explain the nature of the conflicts, aondeug. :(
[1] This facsimile operated in part by synAC.The nature of our fancy denominational battles? I AM TOO LAZY.
If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan Chah@Aon and Tze: I meant via P Ms, in other threads, in general. It was kind of my socially inept way of asking you two if you'd care to be e-friends with me.
(Also, Tze apparently read my post in the Troper Demographics thread. -is flattered-)
Ah.
If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan ChahBlech, I feel stupid now. Probably one of the more embarrassing moments in my neverending quest for more friends. But hey, can you really fault me for it? You and Tzetze are a Pretty Cool Gal/Guy.
Tzetze and I are part of one being?
If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan ChahMm, sexy... and I'm okay with PMs I suppose?
[1] This facsimile operated in part by synAC.?!
Sexy?

And yeah P Ms are ok.
If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan ChahWell that wasn't what I meant, but I guess we all sort of become part of a single huge organism after we post here for long enough. Also, P Ms yay!
You can't spell "organism" without "org" and you can't spell Laymen without "y"
...just putting it out there...

Just going to add that I think the Buddhist cosmology is wonderfully complex and awesome.
Justice is a joy to the godly, but it terrifies evildoers.Proverbs21:15 FimFiction account.Are you trying to tell me that orgies aren't sexual misconduct?
If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan ChahUpon rereading, I think it was a call for tropers and laypeople to have hot group sex...
Buddhism is probably one of the few eastern religions to not have any esoteric sex rituals. At least none that I'm aware of. I'd imagine it'd be pretty hard to reconcile with the teachings of the Buddha.
Justice is a joy to the godly, but it terrifies evildoers.Proverbs21:15 FimFiction account.You know, the only Buddhist religious poetry I've read happened to be a Zen monk asking the Buddha to forgive him for not controlling himself, because damn women are sexy [continues for three pages]
[1] This facsimile operated in part by synAC.Yeah we pretty much lack those...
If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan ChahThe Dream Hunters featured some potential hot Buddhist Priest/fox spirit action.
I'm guessing the idea that are people out there who decide, "Fuck it, I'm going to be holy and not have sex with ANYBODY", really piques the interests of other people.
Justice is a joy to the godly, but it terrifies evildoers.Proverbs21:15 FimFiction account.Wait what. Buddhist monk and fox spirit action? I WANT. Also how many realms back will my want for such send me back?
If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan ChahMan, I'm no karma judge. You'll have to ask Yama.

He kind of reminds me of those tropers who take care of pages but never post on the forums.
