In front of my desk there is a wall where a grandfather's clock
hangs, and the pendulum swings to and fro telling me that time
is running out with each tick.
For some reason, Buddhists, or zen buddhists in particular,
practise with a notion of the house is burning down. There is
not much time to sit down for chitchat, even lesser time for
academic discussions.
Still, what should never be dispensed with, or at least I
thought, are the rules and regulations pertaining to practice.
In a family, who is the biggest? The father is the head of the
household, the mother takes care of everything, these are rules.
The father should look at least marginally like one, so has to be
the mother! Things get a bit funny when I first started surfing the
internet for the newest and latest on the religion, because in the
absence of a regulating authority, I watched myself how e-sangha, a
forum I visited regularly between 2004 to 2008, went down in just a
poof of dust. It was started by a Singaporean, and I was proud of
it since day 1 till the days of its demise when quarrels became
frequent due to differences conflicts between rogue representatives
from other lineages.
I was just digging a little into the background of this forum,
and realised I had no idea where it came from, other than it is
owned by An Eternal Now and moderated by a few faces I came to
become familiar.
Still, hiding on a forum where the right-hand-side shoutbox are
saying things which are totally childish (see below)... I just
WONDER.. because I myself channel surf.. should I even create a new
nick in order to post within the Buddhist subforum -- as outside in
the other subforums, I could be crapping like nobody's business and
breaking the precepts mingling with the kids.
Just musing, to give myself some problems to think about today.
:) Need not reply.
