Solid Gold interpretation of the Buddha's words! As an English teacher, Joseph lights the path to enlightenment again with his wise attention to detail.
Wow, I don't know how this could be more clear. Great storytelling combined with a detailed interpretation of the Buddha's words. What more could anyone ask for? Feeling very fortunate to have discovered Joseph’s domain. He creates portals and lights the way. What more could anyone ask for? A bag with openings at both ends…
Wow. I never thought of it that way - that doing something unwholesome with awareness is better than no awareness as it can bring a sense of restraint the next time the desire to do the unwholesome arises. Buddha is truly so wise! Thank you, Joseph, for sharing Buddha’s wisdom with the world!

Slippery slope from skepticism, doubt and cynicism, like a "dog that is a shameless animal, and they make a cult of shamelessness, not as being beneath modesty, but as superior to it."
