RE: Guy Fawkes and the Result Thereof

Guy Fawkes was caught trying to blow up the British Parliament he hanged.

New Zealand celebrates Guy Fawkes day with crackers but here in Australia they don't..probably because there are so few Catholics in this country laugh

anyway

Wintour introduced Fawkes to Robert Catesby, who planned to assassinate King James I and restore a Catholic monarch to the throne. The plotters leased an undercroft beneath the House of Lords, and Fawkes was placed in charge of the gunpowder they stockpiled there. Prompted by the receipt of an anonymous letter, the authorities searched Westminster Palace during the early hours of 5 November, and found Fawkes guarding the explosives. Over the next few days, he was questioned and tortured, and eventually he confessed. Immediately before his execution on 31 January, Fawkes fell from the scaffold where he was to be hanged and broke his neck, thus avoiding the agony of the mutilation that followed.

RE: No one but Allah can her my voice

a Syrian war mapping project, places Idlib, Maarat al-Noaman and Jisr al-Shoughour under the control of anti-Assad rebels and puts Hama in Assad-controlled territory.

Your probably better to wait and see what now occurs, rather than leave Hama.
Here is a map that is not very old dated 30/9/2015 of Syria, it displays Assad held area and shows other areas:

RE: KARMA

I believe word karma is a widely excepted term that falls short in explaining that the seeds of our tomorrows are sown by our actions of body speech and mind, both personal and collective actions.
That ignorance, lack of understanding, gives rise to harmful activities that harm others, which is only part of what the word karma describes. Its my understanding Karma denotes good, bad and indifference outcomes.

The unwholesome activities occur because of ignorance, arising from a lack of understanding that all beings seek happiness, not pain and suffering, and those that inflict pain and suffering on others have not, are not understanding the nature of experience, its causes and liberation.
Compassion is not forgiveness, or turn other cheek, rather i think our compassion should be directed towards those that harm us, its nature should be an awareness that its through ignorance ourselves and others engage in unwholesome activities. It is not forgiveness nor either should we generate hatred, nor pity, rather mindful understanding.
Because all sentient beings like ourselves have been sowing harmful seeds since beginningless time.
Understanding in that way makes room for us to develop good motivation directed towards correctly benefiting others instead of more layers of pain and suffering.

RE: Vietnam War Veterans PTSD(Post Traumatic Stress Di

I think its worth mentioning that Christians in North Vietnam were shipped to the South before the DMZ was put in place and a Christian Government was installed who promptly divested lots of the Buddhist Vietnamese of there land then invited USA to commence the killing.

For more than one century Vietnamese fought the French so pretty well understood the mind set of Christians and from my own side the Vietnamese did a number on us, dished up karmas we never understood anything about, they messed with our heads.

Myself I got lucky meeting Mahayana Tibetan Teachers and carefully considered what was been said, i engaged in meditation to still mind and very carefully sat around reviewing every single day of my life back to about age ten, including every single day of the thirteen months driving mostly unarmed and alone amongst the Vietnamese People. Most of my time was spent in Saigon, but not all, i saw quite a lot of Vietnam during my time in country.

In that way i subdued mind and quite a lot of anger as I was better able to comprehend my own impute, impute of army, impute of Americans i billeted and socialized with and above all the Vietnamese...lots of documents are posted on my website home page < robplum.com > and record in the form of news headlines of some events leading up to the war is also posted on my site by following this link < >

RE: Vietnam War Veterans PTSD(Post Traumatic Stress Di

ww2 vets in this part of the world (other than wounded or ex-POW) were mostly left to there own devices, most turned to drink and stuggeled with life.
I was appalled to note America did nothing much in support of its Vietnam Vets, other Vets supported injured Veterans while your government did stuff all.
In or about 2005/06 Deputy Prime Minister of Australia Tim Fischer (who was himself wounded in VN) traveled to USA and assisted better support and establishment of legal process of PTSD application. I know that as i demonstrated via Pleiku Pals, < > how to utilize the process.

RE: Vietnam War Veterans PTSD(Post Traumatic Stress Di

more labels or taking pills does not assist veterans to over come PTSD rather understanding the interdependent arising of there troubles is necessary to achieve more lasting happiness, not more labels. I am a Vietnam Veteran with long time experience with the subject matter and disagree with your prognosis, i am say veterans be better off looking looking at the causes and effect of disturbance in mind and that it is then possible to reorder ones thought process

RE: Pope Francis has it right when it comes to money

Believe anything you like, without casting stones i wouldn't take the word pope francis on any subject

The current market property value of Vatican City, in the heart of Rome alone is worth between US $1 Billion and $3 Billion. This excludes the value of the priceless artworks and valuables stored within its walls.

The most valuable property holdings of the Catholic Church by nation is the United States with around $50 Billion in visible property holdings and around $507 Billion in hidden property holdings through a massively complex network of front companies and trusts.

The next most valuable property holdings are Germany (US $297 Billion of which only $29 Billion is visible property), France (US $282 Billion of which only $28 Billion is visible), Italy (US $230 Billion of which around $23 Billion is visible), Brazil (US $194 Billion of which around $26 Billion is visible) and Spain (US $158 Billion of which around $15 Billion is visible).

The gold reserves held by the Vatican

The largest single holder of ingot/bullion gold of any organization for the past 1,000 years is and has always been the Roman Cult controlling the Catholic Church.

The Roman Catholic Church controls approximately 60,350 metric tonnes of gold, twice the size of the total official gold reserves around the world or approximately 30.2% of all the gold every mined/produced. At current prices, it puts the asset value of the greatest treasure in human history at over US $1,245 Billion.

RE: Dalai Lama

Dalai Lama does not seek others bow before him, never has and never would.

However I think only a fool would maintain ones own misguided pride and place himself/herself above or as an equal before even the lowest ranking monk or nun.

I have attended before and looked deeply into HH Dalai Lamas eyes, then as requested for past 25 engaged in a process HHDL requested me to.

Dalai Lama is but a humble Monk and some say living rebirth of Chenrezig

RE: I'm tired of being a failure.

then stop thinking of your own needs.
As much as possible benefit others by directing your mind in that direction you'll be happy again, there is only suffering in trying to find happiness within.
Its the same for all of us, unhappiness cannot arise while your mind is continually directed towards helping others...
