In addition to keeping a meditation / spiritual practice journal, use a blog to establish good social credit history

Ideal bed sleeping set up for meditators and yogis: only 20 seconds to make bed and put it away


Pre-washing dishes

As you're cooking, eating, and cleaning, as soon as an item is no longer in use pre wash and soak it like so: 

* soak it in enough water to prevent parts from drying up into hard to wash crust. 

* Use hands to rub out unsubmerged sections with food residue so no dry crust forms. 

* if it's a tough to wash item like a pot, cover it up so moisture doesn't evaporate and dry up the edges of pot.

* right after eating from a bowl, pre soak it as explained above.

* keep a large grey water bucket accessible, desposit all grey water into the bucket and use in your garden.

* now it's time to wash the dishes, and it goes super quick and easy because nothing is dry and crusty, and you don't have to scrub again and again checking to see if residue is gone.

My thoughts on Dalai Lama kissing boy, and the solution

HHDL = His holiness, the Dalai Lama I've collected good references here, including the actual video, and snippets from forums discussions containing valid critcism and explanations of cultural context, and most importantly, what the rules of the actual vinaya that buddhist monks are supposed to follow: 1min. video: Dalai Lama kissing boy and asking him to suck his tongue At the time of this writing, HHDL is about 88 years old. He has an exemplary record devoting his life to compassionate service to all living beings,  as a Tibetan Buddhist monk. In this age of 'me too',  everyone with a cell phone with high resolution cameras, and the ability to quickly publicize any indiscretion or sexual crime, we've seen sexual predators in positions of power being exposed and convicted. Leaders of large corporations,  governments, professional sports, doctors, leaders in all religions. Tibetan Buddhism has an especially poor track record with corrupt sexual predators. https://thewal...

Explanation from B. Thanissaro regarding Ajahn Mun biography section where he has conversations with (living) Buddhas

Ajahn Mun Bio, account of conversation with Buddhas excerpt from p.172 Venerable Ãcariya Mun Bhýridatta Thera: A Spiritual Biography by Ãcariya Mahã Boowa Ñãõasampanno.   http://www.forestdhamma.org/ebooks/english/pdf/Acariya_Mun__A_Spiritual_Biography.pdf On the nights subsequent to Ãcariya Mun’s attainment of vimutti, a number of Buddhas, accompanied by their Arahant disciples, came to congratulate him on his vimuttidhamma. One night, a certain Buddha, accompanied by tens of thousands of Arahant disciples, came to visit; the next night, he was visited by another Buddha who was accompanied by hundreds of thousands of Arahant disciples. Each night a different Buddha came to express his appreciation, accompanied by a different number of Arahant disciples. Ãcariya Mun stated that the number of accompanying Arahant disciples varied according to each Buddha’s relative accumulation of merit – a factor that differed from one Buddha to the next. Many critics cite that passa...
