Some rules to live life by

[hofmann]

Couple Of Points:

1. Do not agree with #1.

2. Do not understand #6.

1. Refer to #7

2. Rule 6: don't be a Kay poh

Hope this helps

 

[hofmann]

so ru advocating violence as the solution? wat abt the law?

Another rule I have yet to mention:

y. Do not harm little children.

Ahhh........ thanks for explaining rule 6.

But as for rule 1, giving advice or opinion is not the same as bothering someone. You can choose not to take the advice or accept the opinion. No need for destruction.

1. Refer to #7

2. Rule 6: don't be a Kay poh

for you not agreeing with rule 1, you can apply rule 7 to anyone who disagrees with you.

A deeper way of looking at rule 6 is, don't complain about something if you have the ability to avoid that something.

So avoid it instead of complaining about it.

1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
3. When in another's home, show them respect or else do not go there.
4. If a guest in your home annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
5. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and they cry out to be relieved.
6. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself
7. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him

My personal favorite is no.7

Refer to rule (3)

 

[hofmann]

There seems to be a lot of misconceptions on rule (1), to take a broad view, as long as a thread is posted, it's a solicitation for opinions. So no infringement.

*Have fun*

A long time ago, a buddhist monk I met in Thailand told me this when I asked about how to be happy in life. He says all the problems you have in life are linked directly or indirectly to 3 things: financial, health and emotions. Therefore to be happy, practice moderation in everything you do concerning these 3 things and you will achieve happiness in life.

# a monk can tell you this bcoz he's still unable to rid these 3 else he would have been enlightened liao!
finance - will you prefer 50 cents when given a dollar when you are penniless?
health - are you happier by paralysing on bed than dying on-the-spot?
emotion - will you prefe above on yourself than your loved ones?

how will you achieve happiness if above 3 falls on you?

its so easy to say "practice moderation" when you are not in the choices.

a monk renounces himself from all accountabilities/responsibilities from the above 3 just for him to practice.
but it still goes back to #

Absolutely agree, if post here and not happy to get opinions or advice, then why post here?

You are missing my point and can't see the forest for the trees.

My personal favorite is no.7

starts with good points, but responses a bit extreme imo...

this parallels the path of how Islam is used. You start with a few good practices, but destroy those that don't follow your way? That's how extremist Muslims end up easily declaring jihad on everyone that doesn't follow the rules.

with due respect, sorry, can't support it. this reads severe, tyrannical and punitive to me. too much incitement to extreme measures and possibly violence.
