First I would like to address Brother Sayber's mordant post about me. I
care less about what others feel so do not humiliate yourself and bow
before me. Clearly, my post was not directed toward those of flesh.
Secondly, some may believe that it is not within a monk's power to take
life. Yes, I admire and respect the value of life in its own way as it
should be revered. However, there are more dimensions to life than just
living and breathing in the flesh as I am sure many scholars would
agree. Every monk's life begins with securing one's own well being
before tending to others--one cannot protect what they do not understand
within themselves. I have had some looming, unresolved issues
threatening the quality of my life hence my statements.
