] Date Posted: 15/12/06 8:55 In reply to: sweetsong 's message, "giving" on 14/12/06 10:13 blackhwalk and white wolf. thanks for the repsonses. i aspire to be like the special cow, taking nothing but that which is necessary for my sustenance. giving is an essential practice in hiduism leads to wonderful karma for all and i follow the Bhagavad Gita as my ideal. my main problems are wtiht some of the traditions that were appropriate for that period of history when things developed but not today such as arranged marriage and the caste systme. by my belief in the cosmoology and way the universe works is as in hinduism and giving for me creates wonderful karma but only when it is done without want for return. Zennny this is very helpful practial comments which i shall try to apply and will help. and yes i do get sad over this. oh Zenny my family have harboured a few issues with the buddha as he turned his back on hinduism and scorned it. you would be a good example to them that perhaps he was OK after all (which i know he was myself). thankyou for your replies.
