I say make 'em anyway! Thereās at least one nunās community I know that is practicing all of the Bhikkhuni patimokkha as is. If they came across the doodles, theyād probably appreciate it.
Please donāt stop it enables deeper understanding and investigation - beneficial things !
about sums it up!
It is not uncommon that when people leave the forces, or the police they go into private protection work. Now that Iāve hung up my mod gloves, if it would help to see these doodles come into being for the benefit of those who would benefit, Iād be willing to offer my services to safeguard the Doodle thread and and eject any flappy nonsense. I will happily charge my standard rate of nothing!
Ok. I canāt resist. Three cheers for Aminah the Dhamma Doodle Bouncer!
Hip hip!

This is so excellent!
I have a proof copy of the third and final Middle Length discourses on hand, and Iām going through it for typos and layout issues now. The Longer Discourses volume is in draft, and it will be done very soon. I look forward to putting this image on the cover. Itās perfect.
Iām glad you like it.
I have a larger file of this doodle (3.9 MB). If that would be useful for printing, let me know, and Iāll send it to you.
Iāve had no troubles so far, but it canāt hurt to have a bit higher resolution. Iāll send you my email privately.
Foolish Teachers
DN 12
Take a teacher who has not reached the goal of the ascetic life for which they went forth from the lay life to homelessness. They teach their disciples: āThis is for your welfare. This is for your happiness.ā ā¦
Itās like someone who abandons their own field and presumes to weed someone elseās field.
Yes, I made them myself.
I have been motivated to doodle lately.
The new Anagarikas wanted a cleaning check list that was āmore funā this has led to the suggestion we doodle our whole korwat. Yikes!
And then to help me remember pabbajja stuffā¦ or distract me from pabbajja anxiety.
There is an amusing bit of dramatic tension in the ācheck for miceā. One isnāt exactly sure what to do about this eventuality!
This is indeed fun, and also for me! The different features of the Dhammasara kitchen are easily recognizable for one who has been staying and working there for some monthsāand they arouse very fond memories! Please give my warmest regards to all those who remember me, especially to Ven. Ajita who then was working in the kitchen as Anagarika while I was there.
In fact, if the ācheck for miceā is neglected it might turn out not very well for a mouse who is sitting in the trap. If it doesnāt get detected it will starve right there; and if detected, while I was there we would take them to the forest and release there.
All the best wishes for that!!!
Heehee. Getting ready then??
Ah! You have humane traps then, not these awful maiming traps that I see in the store.
Dhammasara is a monastery that follows the Buddhaās teachingā¦
