I was speaking to Modgala, the other evening and she suggested I contact you with a view to you running a 'pandramatic' session at the Islington Ecology Centre, my place of work and close by to Sukhavati. I think she was meaning some time when things get a bit warmer! In any event the building, situated within Gillespie Park Local Nature Reserve, would be warm enough whenever. The park itself comprises small areas of woodland, quite a large pond and meadows. Simon can describe it to you!

For now this is just by way of making contact on the topic.

As an anthropologist I think not only one or two religious idea can solve all problems but I would like to say religious diversity could be a strength also. We should make this strength across the world. We should share our knowledge with each other. And, I hope this is a good way to share. Take care

Much better now, reading the intro to a message from a suspicious source, in my inbox. It only takes a couple of seconds to suss, so I don't have to get to the Amida site, to see that I can fruitfully ignore the message. And there's no limit to my inbox space, on Yahoo. I've rarely deleted a message in years, so now there's no problem. Thanks for altering whatever you did.

At 10:57pm on November 15, 2009, Tara said…: Dear Kaspa, thank you for a very lovely weekend. It was stirring, informative, deeply moving and hilariously funny ;-) It is a blessing to be part of the community for a brief time and to learn more about pureland practice. Your gentle leadership brings a special quality. namo amida bu

yes, I see what you mean now, but she said nothing about the black suspenders and fishnets. I'm not really fussed, though, fishnets or not. Being forwarned, it's easy enough to ignore, just like the African Heads of State, who want to put millions through my bank account. I would have suspected, though, that all of this stuff, would be of more concern to Amida, or any group who may think their site is being brought into disrepute. In which case, is there not a way to stop notice that messages from programmes, have been posted. Or maybe to stop programmes getting membership in the first place ? Sorry if these look like suggestions to an egg sucking Granny. If you want to ignore this post. I won't be offended

At 11:39pm on November 13, 2009, John the Hat said…: P.S. I don't have anything in my spam folder, as I disabled it months ago, to see what would happen. Nowt did, other than the cessation of the annoyance where innocent, and sometimes important stuff, would get shunted into it, and ignored. I went through a phase, about 6 months ago, where obvious trickery, alledgedly from African Heads of State, etc, were offering to make me rich. I just ignored them. With Yahoo, the Inbox storage is limitless, anyway. Now, there's no spam, no spam filter, and no problem

At 11:13pm on November 13, 2009, John the Hat said…: Ahhhhhhhhh, it looks, now, like my ignorance / naievety of such matters could have got me into a little bother, without your / Rachel's intervention, .................... Your insight now leaves my Anarchist inards rumbling, and perplexed, though. I suppose I could just revert to the position that I have, when acting in defence of a potential victim, without his / her permission, ( babies, cats, dogs etc). That's where I say it's not the just the person the bigger brother tries to defend. If it's the person's autonomy; then, mistaken or not the outcome of the intervention will involve learning, and therefore progress.
I can accept that the your apparently wise intervention has defended my freedom
Does this seem pedantic ? Usually I find such attention to detail unnecessary. But every so often, when I find a principle I've invested a lot of faith in being challenged, I have to dissect it, to see if it really has deceased

At 5:22pm on November 9, 2009, Ant said…: Dear Kaspa Thanks very much for the welcome very open and friendly site will have to phone through at some point as I said I would and the first conversation was very helpful it's nice to have the contact with fellow pure landers ! Namo Amida Bu

At 3:56pm on October 25, 2009, Sus said…: Dear Kapalita;

How are you ?
I have to tell you something new.

As I strated in october in Brussels a new schoolyear of 'inversion of the ressenti (french word) through the tonico-emotional dialogue of the body", I got also new dates for the following monthes. So in december I cannot go to the chanting happening becauce on the same weekend we are working in Brussels.

But what I certenly will do in 2010 , in springtime, to go to Amida France.
I have a verry good souvenier of my last visit there thsi year and i will do it again next year. The combination of working, singing and praying together, got me a ver good feeling.
So I hope to see you there again.

Greatings for David ans Sumaya and Zeezee.

And a warm hug for you, Kaspalita.

Take care for yourself, brother !

Yes, Adobe Flash fixed the problem. Thanks. By the way I enjoyed the group talk on Culturally Engaged Buddhism. It feels much more personal now that I have met most of you.

namo amida bu,

At 4:19pm on September 29, 2009, Freya M said…: Kaspa - I was reading your profile and discovered you describe yourself as "Akunin". As I had not the slightest idea what that was I googled it, but all I found on Wikipaedia was "Akunin is a Japanese word that translates loosely to "villain". In his novel "The Diamond Chariot", the author redefines an "akunin" as one who creates his own rules." As I wouldn't have described you as either of these I was wondering what you meant by the word? NAB, Freya (some people say I'm nosey, but I say I'm curious!).

At 6:59pm on September 26, 2009, juditta Ben David said…: Thanks, I did not know it is so easy to spoof my email address.. I have a spam filter.. but when it comes from my address, or from addresses that have the same domain name, it is very difficult to filter them out. Any suggestions?

At 10:41pm on September 25, 2009, Teresa Bryant said…: Hi Kapalita,

Sorry to keep bothering you. Two questions: 1. Did my questions appear anywhere? As the sender I wasn't notified and I want to make sure I used the 'forum' correctly. 2. I imagine the problem with not seeing video's on ning is that I don't have the program to view ustream videos. Do you happen to have a handy link for usteam downloads.

At 9:17pm on September 25, 2009, juditta Ben David said…: Hi, Thanks for message about comments being erased, and your filtering these out. Yet, it seems that our emails have been used as well... :-( I have reason to believe that my email has been abused lately around the same time that the comments have been abused in Amida's ning.

At 7:29pm on September 22, 2009, Teresa Bryant said…: Hi Kaspalita,

At work my screen is black with the arrow for playing. On my home computer the same space is white with no ability to play anything. What I find unusual is that it has not always been like this.
