I know one cannot realistically steal from themselves, but do the other four apply to the person unto themselves, or only to other beings? I felt I should ask as I am somewhat confused about it.
I feel I'm a therian, and wish to explain it to my mother, who hasn't really heard of it before, and I want to be as clear and compassionate in explaining as possible.
Hi, I was wondering about a few things.
What school/s should I practice? I'm tempted to say Rimé or Gelug, but hope to avoid any kind of bias with whichever I choose.
I've been thinking about the phrase "there is certainty in uncertainty, and uncertainty in certainty", does this have anything to do with Buddhism as a whole?
I've made greater progress than before in forgiving and being kind to others, I've improved upon leaving unsaid what's unnecessary to say too, but at times I feel as though love and forgiveness are to be earned, and hard-earned at that. Where do I go from there?
I wish to bring as peace and hope to as many as I can whenever I'm out of the house, how do I make sure to do so, even when not actively focusing on it?
How do I reassure others who need it, and without being a jerk or condescending, teach others who wish to learn, be it about Buddhism or topics in general? To clarify, I don't feel that teachers are condescending jerks.
Are there any explicitly Buddhist musicians/groups? I feel like due to having ADHD as well as being autistic, having music of some sort would help me greatly in practice/practise.
How do I simultaneously hold views against governance, harm/death dealt others for any reason and prejudice/hatred, and also keep to the teachings and path?
I'll clarify if needed, but thank you all.
