Just lost a post GRR!!!! Kylie, you, or somebody may have noticed a post last night (well early hrs am) that disappeared. I posted using my seller's ID - not that worried about people here knowing who I am, but rather use this ID.
I wished you a good sleep, but seems you didn't get much - makes me think, somthing will happen soon!!!!
Ms Mioux you're spot on with the experience of your teacher. Buddhism has a lot in common with Christianity, and it is only through suffering, that we can learn true compassion, but only if we don't allow the suffering to make us bitter. Of course, it doesn't make the suffering, pain or hurt and easier, but when we've experienced suffering we can use it to reach out to others with true compassion. This thread is a testimony to that.
As a Christian, I believe God uses everything in our lives for good, if we allow Him - sometimes we are stubborn and it takes a while to get through our thick skulls (does with me anyway!!!)
I doubt my faith will ever be truly complete, as then I would be perfect, but I have more today than I had years ago, and sometimes I go backwards, but then can take a giant leap forward.
I'm struggling at the moment, as our finances are in a bad state, and I know something will happen, even if I don't like the outcome, but I also have some scary moments.
Saying Hi to everybody else and big hugs for those who need them. I hate this new format where you can't look at the whole thread - doesn't do much for "functionality" - just love eBay's choice of words at times!!!! :-x
