| 2009-03-17 | phill | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | cool, thanks you explained it to a very high standard, I appreciate the time you gave and if you wanted to know why in some Buddhist cultures they refrain from saying thank you; it is because it may create attatchment and then a disire for the particular gift which would create suffering. Thought you could use it in future questions if it helps |
