Yeah Joe!
Don't complain about the slight transgression of the 6th Precept in your fellow

Well, Bill!, as you know, I don't complain. Just pointing at something with a
slight Zen connection. Sorry to cloud the issue with facts!
But maybe I *should* take a larger view, and truly lighten-up. Or I could try
breathing a whiff of Helium from time to time. If nothing else, I

I'd be glad if that's so, and would make proper apologies as warranted. But, I

Lessee... well, there's an Audio Book.
You'll have to try it yourself; I don't own it, and can't send it to you.
I would and I could if I did but I don't so I won't.
But, note: such posts may be off-topic, unwelcome, and offensive to un-named

Merle,
Having such thoughts -- of aggrandizing oneself while demeaning others -- is a
breaking of that Sixth precept.
One need not express the boast, nor the insult, vocally, nor in writing, as you
have done before us all, here. No.
It's not the expression of the thought, or the process,

Full original posts are all at the website as well. Back to the year 1999.

Is it all about you, you you?
