Other than that, sounds cool to me.
Fortunately today I will give Fundamentalists a 'Free Pass'.

Respectfully, Christianity is very clear about 'do not let the sun go down on your anger', let go of trivial things, etc.

Maybe tomorrow or the next day?

Goodwill towards men. No one man can do this-- I hope those of us who really want a better future will do simple things to encourage each other.

To the OP, thanks again--I really needed to read something like this today.

Hi Kirby.
Is Sarwa Mangalam a person? Sarva Mangalam in Sanskrit means “happiness to all”
Thinking of sanskrit made me thing of pali. And that made me think of the Tipitaka (pali canon)
Do the Tibetan Buddhists use the pali canon or is it just us Theravadins?

Metta,
Aeroman
