might have, lotof sheep been killed by wild dogs round here, however that clearly means they aren't Kiwi dogs, no respectful Kiwi would kill a sheep ah mate?
The Maori dog was a small, low-set animal, very ugly in appearance. Although it had a poor sense of smell, it was of some use in hunting night-moving birds such as the kiwi and also ducks in the moulting season. The Frenchman Crozet, who was at the Bay of Islands in June 1772, noted that: “The dogs are a sort of domesticated fox, quite black or white, very low on the legs, straight ears, thick tail, long body, full jaws, but more pointed than those of the fox, and uttering the same cry; they do not bark like our dogs”.
I believe lawyers practicing in family law are having a field day with everyone's assets well and truly on the line. If you seek grant legal aid, probably only granted up and including the first return date, then you gott'a pay for protracted proceedings with grossly inflated legal expensive's to round about the amount of assets you used to have
yeah but differs depending on circumstances of both parties and proceedings
can be very complicated bubbles
You might like to consider the Family Court Act before you hold solid what said on this site. Perhaps you studied Military Law while in the daft and barmy, even that can get complicated
If Abbott wants to continue the Vietnam War here in Australia then that's fine by me. Catholics spent well over a hundred years trying to impose there utter rubbish on the prominently Mahayana Buddhist in that country and i certainly know where i sit in such a conflict
I think you being very very naive Martia
The Opposition Leader’s politics have been deeply influenced by his identification with political propagandists of the Catholic Church and his adherence to its dogma.
Father Edmund Campion, the distinguished literary priest, peers at his students at St Patrick’s seminary in Manly, Sydney’s famed beachside suburb. “I think we ought to have a class on Santamaria,” Campion says. “Who’s he?” asks a student. The year was 2000, just two years after the death of Bartholomew Augustine (B.?A.) Santamaria, Australian Catholicism’s greatest political warrior. Campion, who also taught Tony Abbott as a trainee priest in the 1980s was gobsmacked that the memory of such an extraordinary figure had faded among a new generation of priests.
Santamaria had no formal political role and never ran for office, but he kept Labor out of power for 17 years. He was also huge in the life of Abbott, who said after his death that Santamaria “saw politics as a way of giving glory to God”. Historical amnesia about Santamaria also raises the question about how well we know Tony Abbott, the man who would be Prime Minister.....
Well i think your grossly miscalculating with Thompson and Peter Slipper, Martia you might consider getting your eyes check out.
The FWA report was not released until couple weeks ago if you had more carefully to Thompson he firstly deniers the allegations in that report, address most points and offered until proven otherwise creditable explanation on most points. To my mind Abbott and Pyne should both be chucked out of the house for casting unfounded dispersion's on a member of the chamber degrading our parliamentary process. Abbott and Pyne commenced casting grossly misleading dispersion's on the floor of parliament long before the reports contents was known. I find it really sad that you would anyone in the way you are without allowing whatever process follows (if any) in the matters. The Police in NSW have already stated they don't intend charging Thompson with anything. Far as I can tell your expressing hate directed to a persons creditably in a subject that no body knows what the truth is. As for much valued my sitting member Peter Slipper it again appears you have selective hearing. You might give thought to the rights of electors in the division of Fisher who's representation in parliament is non existent because of loose allegations that appears to some extent to have been created by Burff Abbott and Pyne. I find your comments deeply offensive
the liberal party been beating it up for weeks trying to turn a sows ear into a silk purse and i disagree what you refer to is party politics, they were elected to represent voters not cast dispersion's on other candidates voters elected to express there views through. Likes Abbott and his clowns don't have a right to harshly judge anybody, remember themselves they support mass murder and all sorts outrageous crap, and perhaps you missed or have forgotten Pauline Hanson being stitched up by an ex-liberal party adviser, also my setting member is Peter Slipper, perhaps you've not noticed the lye's been exposed in that liberal/national stunt to
I listened and think he explained most issues, covered quite a lot actually. My mind goes to the extent of the liberal parties complete lack of integrity. The spectacle on the floor of Parliament of a few RC promoting pure speculation in the hope of pulling down the Australian government, promoting an agenda that hasn't anything to do with what our democratic process was intended for. Those idiot servants were elected to represent the voters who elected them, and not something else, they have a legal obligation to express the will and views of the electors and shouldn't be wasting time for which they are highly paid (grossly over paid) for to other than representing the people instead of demonstrating what sort of low scumbags without any integrity they are, i've not forgotten Pauline Hanson nor either the attempts made to stitch me up either.
The Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, has committed to increasing Australia's aid to Afghanistan by $85 million a year to $250 million by 2015 in an agreement signed with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai during a side meeting at the NATO summit.
Oh yeah replaced a lot of anger...i laugh a lot easier
my final comment if i may, I’ve listened to a teaching, then a couple of Monks got us students to sit in separate groups and share with each other what understanding they took from had been said. Every single one of us heard the exact same words, but each of us were in different stages in life experience our understanding and associated differently what was being said, still the same subject and teaching. A qualified Lama, teachers correctly to every single individual attending the discourse, quite mind-boggling stuff. Lama Zopa is quite capable of shuffling a whole room full of people around, without the people being aware of it, watched him shuffle two people together at the back of the room to dedicate there efforts.
Placing mind in park and not getting lost in whats been said, because its a lot better to comprehend what is otherwise likely completely foreign to our past habitual thought process. A high probably our completely deluded thinking process is a hindrance; in park with a still mind we at least allow the teaching to correctly flow in, even if you cannot quite follow what's been said (found it easy to get lost)like-in for a workmen its better not to blame the tool, later the penny will probably drop...
no no, often monks and nuns assist people who for the first time are approaching Buddha Dharma by leading meditation intended to help us still our minds. To me many many years before i was able to park my mind and i am grateful for those that put up with distractions i probably made. Once while Monk was bouncing white light around a group of us in the Gompa i stormed out slamming the Gompa door.
Usually westerners like myself (I include myself) are unable to hold our minds focused on a teaching on any one subject that be being transmitted over a few days or months. Stilling mind i found really hard, even when i latched onto a thought Alexander Berzin <
> kindly gave me, it took me three or four months to correctly apply the breathing meditation he had suggested on occasion he taught at Temple Gyalwa Ensapa, Killabakh in NSW i was the appointed director of Tony My experience is, its a slow long process to start to truly comprehend whats meant and begin to put into practice. Understanding is hopefully eventually obtained by observing our own thoughts and activities, then we can apply appropriate anti-dope
you welcome focus on Geshe words, his expressions and actions, (whole being) observe closely any dreams you might see carefully. You'd likely meet lot of other experts in your travels, listen to your teacher mate...lots of would be's if they could be (including in robes) window shop and know what they are doing might also appear, focus on the qualified source
I'm not suggesting you join anything, Buddhism is not a religion.
Our minds nature is dualistic, a teacher like Geshe Doga, who is actually a very highly qualified Tantric master and produces the biggest smile i've ever seen anyone with. Is a Highly Qualified Guide in both Sutra and Tantra)
Buddhist teacher (for want better word) like the Buddha but points the way, where and how for example we might look. The doing and understanding is our own, what we are left with is a sort of road map of our own making to travel this and future life with. I am merely saying i strongly advise connecting with qualified guide
oh well yes but its ground we are faced with working with. Its not possible to travel the path correctly without a qualified guide. The Mahayana path is two fold, however firstly we are well advised to search out a qualified teacher as our minds nature is dualistic therefore we can and often do delude ourselves as to the true nature of whats been written or said. We need the assistance of a qualified teacher to guide us, assist us to look correctly and then and probably only then do we start to correctly observe the in bred suffering making activities we have spent life time playing out
yeah we should all be studying the nature of suffering...if we don't understand the dependent arising of our suffering we cannot apply the correct anti-dopes The correct path we should follow is benefiting others
yeah even animals don't kill driven by ego, the best word is ignorance. During life experience I've attended a number of schools myself, i've floated about on a yacht studying a sea of death i was sailing upon, also of course previously army training for service unarmed mostly alone in Saigon for thirteen months, also Tim Fisher supported hearing in parliament, which federal Labor Leader Kim Beazley supported on the floor the house of our parliament, to one degree or another have studied Mahayana Buddhism (probably could say since 1967) however formally at least since far back as 1982.
Yes i think the spectacle of the likes of Abbott, Downer and other pure god like politician beings, who fetter away there representation for the people by the people harshly judging others, is as good-a-school-of-human-stupidity as it gets
"Foreign Aid this current year is $4.7 billion"! You'll be pleased to note Australia has just pledged $300 million to help the Afghan military continue the killing karmas being played out in Afghanistan
I think there is happiness and there is lasting happiness, lasting happiness comes from a healthy mental attitude in understanding the interdependence of all experience
