The Buddha Project Reply To: Response to “start what we are dealing with”
As Buddhists, we believe that Right Speech takes priority over Free Speech. Put simply, Right Speech means abstaining from gossip and talk which is false, malicious, or harsh. Write only what you believe to be true and relevant, voicing your opinion with kindness and patience. Avoid worldly, partisan, or discriminatory topics and remarks that are patriarchal, misogynist, sexist, racist, anti-semitic, pro-nazi, bio essentialist, xenophobic, transphobic, homophobic or any other kind of hateful views even if such advocacy is couched in terms of ‘discussing the texts’ or ‘maintaining tradition’.

Manita – we are so not saying the same thing.
In fact there is no such thing of two people thinking, feel and intent exactly the same thing at the same time. That is impossible, cause we are conditioned. Hopefully you want to read my words above over and over again as it is, not your few towards them: to understand what is written by me. And read your respond (words) towards my words as it is and see the difference in thinking. Let the words settle, give it (some) time, perhaps meditate on it and use the tools which have been given to you and learn a bit from it, to make you even more beautifuler. Enjoy your day!
