you seem to be reactive to this accusation of Julian.
Rather than answer the charge specificially, you tell him to basically
"bug off."
would you say that Julian has disturbed your equanimity and universal love?
If so, it is too easily shaken.
Perhaps you have created a veneer of love that is holding down some
other less pleasant emotions?
If so you should take a look at that.

My Dear Julian,
The Buddha, with his monks, did beg for food/money everyday (on
regular schedule) in order to survive upon teaching his Dharma to the
World...
It's only natural, isn't it?!?
So, please go back and study the history of the Buddha and remove the
dust of your ignorance, so at least, you yourself may benefit from
it...
Cheers!
Rexsy
Buddha did not sell anything. He and his disciples begged -- in person
-- for their food for the day, nothing more. They went from door to
door. They did not sell the teachings, did they?
Re-read, yourself, You may find that the Buddha's lifestyle does not
justify your sales plan.
For myself, I have nothing against you selling your musical works. But
I do have a little problem with you likening yourself to the Buddha to
justify it to a Buddhist. That is utilizing the Buddha for your own
personal gain, and shows an ego that you have not disclosed properly to
yourself.

My wonderful Robert,
Sorry about on your blind judgement on Rexsy's status...Who never
claimed to be likening the Buddha, nor justifying anything to any
Buddhist whatsoever in the first place...Anyway, with compassion, I do
forgive your misjudgement in the profoundly moving of beauty and love,
and wish you great Enlightenment in the near future...
The gentle clouds rested over the mountain peaks, under the glorious
skies of an early summer morning. The beauty of "forgiveness" is to
penetrate one’s insight, knowledge, and understanding into the
infinite structure of phenomena, which may sacredly be followed by the
deep meditative absorption into the vast immense emptiness of the
Superconsciouness. With the profound comprehension of the cosmic
architecture of matters, via powerful observation, the meditative
omniscient knowledge of the mind exerts universal mastery over subtle
matters in the silent moving beauty of the Universe.
Peace for All!

My Dear Julian,

It's only natural, isn't it?!?
Your OPINION has been noted
along with the total lack of evidence to back it up..
So, please go back and study the history of the Buddha and remove the
dust of your ignorance, so at least, you yourself may benefit from
it...
"Although the Vinaya specifies a prohibition on accepting and handling
gold and silver, the real spirit of it is to forbid use and control over
funds, whether these are bank notes or credit cards. The Vinaya even
prohibits a monk from having someone else receive money on his behalf.
In practical terms, monasteries are financially controlled by lay
stewards, who then make open invitation for the Sangha to ask for what
they need, under the direction of the Abbot. A junior monk even has to
ask an appointed agent (generally a senior monk or Abbot) if he may take
up the stewards' offer to pay for dental treatment or obtain medicines,
for example. This means that as far as is reasonably possible, the
donations that are given to the stewards to support the Sangha are not
wasted on unnecessary whims.
If a layperson wishes to give something to a particular monk, but is
uncertain what he needs, he should make an invitation. Any financial
donations should not be to a monk but to the stewards of the monastery,
perhaps mentioning if it's for a particular item or for the needs of a
certain monk. For items such as travelling expenses, money can be given
to an accompanying anagarika (dressed in white) or accompanying
layperson, who can then buy tickets, drinks for a journey or anything
else that the monk may need at that time. It is quite a good exercise in
mindfulness for a layperson to actually consider what items are
necessary and offer those rather than money."

My dear Julian,
You're being "too innocent" to follow the human rules in the world of
religions...
The Buddha never did make such rules...even his own Dharma was said to
be temporary, impermanent, not really true Dharma (in his words)!
So, how could human rules remain to be true in the world of Buddhism
(compared to the Buddha's Dharma)?!?
Only if you're "ignorant" enough to follow such rules...
Peace,
Rexsy
I see; you claim justification from the Buddha's practices when |
convenient, and disavow them when they cease to serve your personal
aims. Well done! A true demonstration of hypocrisy at work!

Buddhist whatsoever in the first place...Anyway, with compassion, I do
forgive your misjudgement in the profoundly moving of beauty and love,

please don't attempt to forgive me for something that I haven't done.
you should check your own delusion on this matter as you seem to be in a
frothing whirlpool of self-certainty and inability to hear others.

thank you, that I will accept. If I do achieve great enlightenment, I
will attempt to help you from your own delusions, so it is always a good
idea to wish such to others. I hope that sometime soon you will emerge
from the shadow of enlightenment and experience the real thing.

you seem to be reactive to this accusation of Julian.
Rather than answer the charge specificially, you tell him to basically
"bug off."
would you say that Julian has disturbed your equanimity and universal love?
If so, it is too easily shaken.
Perhaps you have created a veneer of love that is holding down some
other less pleasant emotions?
If so you should take a look at that.

My wonderful Robert,
Sorry about on your blind judgement on Rexsy's status...Who never
claimed to be likening the Buddha, nor justifying anything to any
Buddhist whatsoever in the first place...Anyway, with compassion, I do
forgive your misjudgement in the profoundly moving of beauty and love,
and wish you great Enlightenment in the near future...
The gentle clouds rested over the mountain peaks, under the glorious
skies of an early summer morning. The beauty of "forgiveness" is to
penetrate one’s insight, knowledge, and understanding into the
infinite structure of phenomena, which may sacredly be followed by the
deep meditative absorption into the vast immense emptiness of the
Superconsciouness. With the profound comprehension of the cosmic
architecture of matters, via powerful observation, the meditative
omniscient knowledge of the mind exerts universal mastery over subtle
matters in the silent moving beauty of the Universe.
Peace for All!

Your OPINION has been noted

"Although the Vinaya specifies a prohibition on accepting and handling
gold and silver, the real spirit of it is to forbid use and control over
funds, whether these are bank notes or credit cards. The Vinaya even
prohibits a monk from having someone else receive money on his behalf.
In practical terms, monasteries are financially controlled by lay
stewards, who then make open invitation for the Sangha to ask for what
they need, under the direction of the Abbot. A junior monk even has to
ask an appointed agent (generally a senior monk or Abbot) if he may take
up the stewards' offer to pay for dental treatment or obtain medicines,
for example. This means that as far as is reasonably possible, the
donations that are given to the stewards to support the Sangha are not
wasted on unnecessary whims.
If a layperson wishes to give something to a particular monk, but is
uncertain what he needs, he should make an invitation. Any financial
donations should not be to a monk but to the stewards of the monastery,
perhaps mentioning if it's for a particular item or for the needs of a
certain monk. For items such as travelling expenses, money can be given
to an accompanying anagarika (dressed in white) or accompanying
layperson, who can then buy tickets, drinks for a journey or anything
else that the monk may need at that time. It is quite a good exercise in
mindfulness for a layperson to actually consider what items are
necessary and offer those rather than money."

My dear Julian,
You're being "too innocent" to follow the human rules in the world of
religions...
The Buddha never did make such rules...even his own Dharma was said to
be temporary, impermanent, not really true Dharma (in his words)!
So, how could human rules remain to be true in the world of Buddhism
(compared to the Buddha's Dharma)?!?
Only if you're "ignorant" enough to follow such rules...
I note your abject failure to provide any evidence whatsoever
to backup your claim that...
"The Buddha, with his monks, did beg for food/money everyday (on
regular schedule) in order to survive upon teaching his Dharma to the
World..."

I bought a living chicken, a bag of rice and some black dal to a
family wrecked by poverty begging in the street here a couple of days
ago. There is no doubt in my mind that they were buddhas. It was the
daughter that wanted the chicken though. Parvati, aged four. She
stated her need for meat clearly, and her teaching of the Dharma was
exellent, in my opinion. So of course...
Long live the buddhas :)

stewards, who then make open invitation for the Sangha to ask for what
they need, under the direction of the Abbot. A junior monk even has to
ask an appointed agent (generally a senior monk or Abbot) if he may take
up the stewards' offer to pay for dental treatment or obtain medicines,
for example. This means that as far as is reasonably possible, the
donations that are given to the stewards to support the Sangha are not
wasted on unnecessary whims.
If a layperson wishes to give something to a particular monk, but is
uncertain what he needs, he should make an invitation. Any financial
donations should not be to a monk but to the stewards of the monastery,
perhaps mentioning if it's for a particular item or for the needs of a
certain monk. For items such as travelling expenses, money can be given
to an accompanying anagarika (dressed in white) or accompanying
layperson, who can then buy tickets, drinks for a journey or anything
else that the monk may need at that time. It is quite a good exercise in
mindfulness for a layperson to actually consider what items are
necessary and offer those rather than money."

My dear Julian,
You're being "too innocent" to follow the human rules in the world of
religions...
The Buddha never did make such rules...even his own Dharma was said to
be temporary, impermanent, not really true Dharma (in his words)!
So, how could human rules remain to be true in the world of Buddhism
(compared to the Buddha's Dharma)?!?
Only if you're "ignorant" enough to follow such rules...
I note your abject failure to provide any evidence whatsoever
to backup your claim that...
"The Buddha, with his monks, did beg for food/money everyday (on
regular schedule) in order to survive upon teaching his Dharma to the
World..."
I bought a living chicken, a bag of rice and some black dal to a
family wrecked by poverty begging in the street here a couple of days
ago. There is no doubt in my mind that they were buddhas. It was the
daughter that wanted the chicken though. Parvati, aged four. She
stated her need for meat clearly, and her teaching of the Dharma was
exellent, in my opinion. So of course...
Long live the buddhas :)
