But in this case I believe that being a Robin Hood trumps being just meditative, and when you respect self immolating monks, you could not easily criticise someone who is fasting to the end. <br /><br />I also believe that modern Buddhists who follow the literal understanding of the Pali Canon have more to do with Franz than with a Buddha. That's the other site.GiDohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00037285400565881820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-66237789074944574202012-10-07T05:37:27.703-07:002012-10-07T05:37:27.703-07:00the occidental state at Jerusalem at the time of t...the occidental state at Jerusalem at the time of the saint order may be compared with the buddhist state. lirium of winds, eight winds as octogonal is the baptismal font and the beatitudes at evangelium. could be lotus of winds or rose.zehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12878862176565413131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-53035334186393417432012-10-07T05:31:05.835-07:002012-10-07T05:31:05.835-07:00 the bowl, Cisco Fran, colect alms, food of dayly ... the bowl, Cisco Fran, colect alms, food of dayly meal as a sacrament : this fall in desuse at occident ; this custume he learn at the oriental cruzade : he came from the orient ! zehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12878862176565413131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-19624845250303164312012-10-06T01:29:11.109-07:002012-10-06T01:29:11.109-07:00Dear Gui Do

Why don’t they just find a blog that agrees with them on all matters and read that? brahmaviharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882669862432841797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-64774292047655645112012-10-05T08:06:24.672-07:002012-10-05T08:06:24.672-07:00NO!

Buddhist scriptures were created long after his departure.<br /><br />Although Franz and Shakyamuni came from rich parents and were warriors once, Franz gave part of the possessions of their household to the poor and only stopped this because his father went to court against him. This is different from Shakyamuni who lacked that social pragmatism. Shakyamuni who was also reported to have eaten animals would therefore have to be a disciple of Franz von Assisi, who until his end did not give up fasting.GiDohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00037285400565881820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-20536521114146057092012-10-05T08:04:54.075-07:002012-10-05T08:04:54.075-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.GiDohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00037285400565881820noreply@blogger.com
