MESSAGE FROM AN ETERNAL NOW: ALL INSULTS WILL BE DELETED FROM THE FORUM STRAIGHTAWAY. NO TROLLS SHALL BE TOLERATED.

mistyblue SG

can you list the table of contents?

An Eternal Now SG

I think he is still at the stage of gathering ideas..

An Eternal Now SG

BTW I would like to clarify regarding the book printing project... it is the sole effort of Bohiruci and I am not involved in this project.. so don't find me on this matter.

And to Bohiruci... pls avoid using forum name when publicising the book.. thanks

Herzog_Zwei SG

First, printing any text without considering the audience will cause pollution and environmental damage.
Second, smarter way to do it is only to print 1 copy and laminate it so you can easily bring it around for interested parties to read.
Thirdly, any excess copies should be mashed into compost and fed to earthworms so that the cellulose will not be wasted.

Just a reminder from An Eternal Now: As a moderator I have the right to edit any posts that are obviously insults. All other moderators are going to help me to keep this forum a clean place for serious and constructive discussions.

Dear all , whatever energy of Goodwill and Malice towards such project ,I can understand .

Its the residual image of Past Karma ,so even if one disagree and insist want to link with PKS or other Major Buddhist organisation or even
PM me all the harassment and insults , well I take it with pride

I will still go ahead with the project and complete it Laughing

Just as Buddha Sakyamuni preached MahaKaruna to all sentient beings in a 94 school of thoughts of External Path in ancient India

Whatever Malice you bore of this project , I will emit my most gracious Mandotoria [i cant remember the sanskrit name for it ,it is the most beautiful White Lotus] to you

May Wisdom Fill your life and well and happy Laughing

An Eternal Now SG

Hmm someone has been harrassing you..? Don't see why you shld be harrassed as this is an individual effort.. if they disagree they can take their own initiative to publish their own books..

The proper way of disposing a Buddhist material is to burn it.

Herzog_Zwei SG

Consider the CO2 created from the ecological viewpoint.

An Eternal Now SG

Consider the methane created from the ecological viewpoint if you put it for compost Rolling Eyes

Herzog_Zwei SG

Not if you use earthworms to speed the conversion.

Actually if it is something beneficial to the public, I will want to join, but first of all we need to find out
1) How to get to the public this information, is it legal and what is the procedure required.
2) What content we need to put in. we need to make sure that the information is correct and the potential reader will be interested to read further at first glance.
If we want to put any reference on it, have we sought consent from the owner.

Are you sure ????????????

An Eternal Now SG

Yes. It is the appropriate and respectful method to dispose Buddhist materials. Just like Buddha cremated himself in his fire of samadhi resulting in many of the shariras and relics.

Throwing it into the rubbish chute is a disrespectful way.

i feel that one has to think carefully about the intention of propagating the dharma to the extensive public by any means. if the intention is to flourish buddhism, then isn't it the same as seeking fame? here i'm not directing at the person with the idea or the sangha assisting with the publishing contents. i can't say that there ought to have or ought not have reasons or intentions behind because spreading dharma is also for the benefit of one and others.
as expounded in the diamond sutra, giving is without relying on forms. if we share the dharma with others, we are not attached to the form of dharma being spread nor attached to conditions of wanting something back. without these hindrances, actions would just be pure and authentic. besides, one has to look around understand more on the general public so that through expedient means according to different capacities may the teachings be beneficial and fruitful for all. just 2cents worth...

Herzog_Zwei SG

Agree.

knightlll SG

Personally , i think Buddhist materials are too holy to be burnt. I would let the temple staff handle them or keep them , in case some day i need to read them etc.
