Hi all,
41 no moving lines. Just joined. I have been living in a small Buddhist monastery for about 30 years. I am 64 now and the eldest monk. I have been on a forum for about 2 years and have recently started doubting a particular persons answers to my posts. I threw the Ching here and it came up "decrease" on asking what I should be doing this morning. I am torn between it's advice, and still wonder if I am imagining this persons sincerity. I do not like being made fun of because I walk a different path than householders.
But, I am not sure about returning to the forum ( have been gone three days ). I am waiting for some sign to let me know what I am supposed to do. For now I am in a sort of limbo and waiting, which is not hard for me, but I can't wait much longer to avoid the forum because of doubting this persons sincerity. Any ideas on how to proceed?
