  1. Final Fire Horse Poll

    @liminal_luke please don’t change anything to the horse, pretty please; it’s perfect as it is with it’s imperfections. It will lose it’s ‘magic’ if you touch it. [cry emoji here]
  2. Final Fire Horse Poll

    @Nungali It was there 8 hours ago
  3. Final Fire Horse Poll

    but it’s there already.
  4. Holy Grail plus Ouroboros, that’s ‘The Great Work’.
  5. Final Fire Horse Poll

    Great new banner look. Well done all admods. Thank you very much.
  6. Final Fire Horse Poll

    Two
  7. Don't worry be happy?

    You do occasionally come out with a gem. Mostly it is not what I believe in, but that’s fine. A few times I reported you for victim blaming. On balance I think you should stay.
  8. Female dragon. Avalokitesvara/Guanyin has a Dragon Female Companion (and is the Great Bodhisattva of the Western Pure Land).

    @liminal_luke Well that proves it then, Chinese astrology is hogwash. @ChiDragon no worries, no hurry. The horse will get extra time next year this time. Seriously, work done by volunteers must not be hurried along but appreciated. Thanks Luke.
  10. What are you practising for?

    Oops ^ wrong thread, sorry.
  11. What are you practising for?

    @Nintendao Guanyin 觀音 (guan1 yin1) = 觀 陰 (guan1 yin1) female outlook on life. 氣 功 (qi4 gong1) = 導 引 (dao3 yin3) = 道 陰 (dao4 yin1) the female way. There is some evidence old Chinese did not use tones.
  12. The Concept of 無為(Wu Wei)

    Thanks yes that’s true yes that’s the right way to do it, and I will keep it in mind. Thanks for the feedback.
  13. The Concept of 無為(Wu Wei)

    I realised my stupidity. I forgot I want to just let CD's views exiist in parallel to mine.
  14. The Concept of 無為(Wu Wei)

    Hi Apech, it was me that deleted my posts. Not in any way the doing of CD. And I agree with you that I should "Think first and post after." My apologies, and I will try to do better.
  15. What are you practising for?

    I never had any ambition, I went with the flow and found what I found.
  16. What are you practising for?

    I practice to become one with God.
  17. What are you practising for?

    I cannot find the answer in the rest of your post.
  18. Don't worry be happy?

    Yes.
  19. Soul in Buddhism

    Scholars , e.g. Jan Nattier, suggests the Heart Sūtra is a Chinese creation (not a translation from Sanskrit). Examining the "core section," scholars concluded it was composed in Chinese. Then "back-translated" into Sanskrit.
  20. Nothing. My intention was to remind of Blavatsky. As I seem to remember she thought something like that Lemuria spread across the Pacific Ocean. I thought Haribol might (possibly indirectly) have gotten the idea from there.

    It’s moot now (banner chosen). But I still wanted to thank you for thinking along creatively with the peace images. And I like the white Pegasus. Good find, as he is a horse (albeit an air one, not fire).

    No, there was a poll and (as far as I understood) it’s going to be this one.
