Re: It is a long story
You have some wise words Webbie, I'd like to add a couple myself, if thats ok with you,
"Forgiveness is primarily for our own sake, so that we no longer carry the burden of resentment. But to forgive does not mean we will allow injustice again".
"Avoid the company of deluded people when you can. When you cannot, keep your own counsel".
"Through our senses the world appears. Through our reactions we create delusions. Without reactions the world becomes clear".
"Do not blindly believe what others say, even the Buddha. See for yourself what brings contentment, clarity, and peace. That is the path for you to follow".
"Karma means you don't get away with anything".
Buddha's Wisdom.
I have been in the situation here on CZ where my own emails and posts (not posted in the ML forum), have been used by ML and his followers, to attack me personally. I am not allowed to post in the ML forum, as I was banned because I disagreed with him, so I have no recourse to defend myself, or present a truthful account, accept on other forums. While this situation is allowed to continue, there will no doubt be other instances that people will feel they need to bring to your attention.
In the meantime, I will be warning anyone that I reccommend CZ too, that there is a vicious dog on the path to heath at CZ, and that dog resides in the ML forum.
