Basically the council or whatever wouldn't back him over what he thought was essential and important. Being that was the case, he stepped down from it as the only viable solution.

2019-03-02 14:35:56 UTC  

Since he could not, _especially_ not as head monk, do otherwise.

2019-03-02 14:36:05 UTC  

You cannot be a buddhist and go "Well I'll just ignore this then"

2019-03-02 14:36:28 UTC  

take what's useful discard th rest

2019-03-02 14:36:39 UTC  

people are so set on association

2019-03-02 14:36:49 UTC  

want to be a part of someting

2019-03-02 14:36:52 UTC  

@Kragt That 'bad at introspection' part is what worries the fuck out of me. Buddhist principles are excellent for average introspection, but it's like any other philosophy: putty in the hands of a solipsist.

2019-03-02 14:37:26 UTC  

You develop introspection by meditating.

2019-03-02 14:37:37 UTC  

Hence the whole development of it.

2019-03-02 14:38:15 UTC  

@Wojak I'll need to look up who argued for what, then, I'd hadn't heard it was a doctrinal disagreement, half expected it to be a political falling out.

2019-03-02 14:38:34 UTC  

it's as if empathy doesn't esxist

2019-03-02 14:38:51 UTC  

And I agree, but handing a histrionic meditation principles without a roadmap is asking for trouble.

2019-03-02 14:38:56 UTC  

@Wojak I retract my previous argument. You are right here.

2019-03-02 14:39:03 UTC  

Nah, he wanted to make things less of a workload by expanding committees with people he trusts. Apparently it got vetoed by the use of some proxy or other legalese.

2019-03-02 14:39:30 UTC  

He thinks that was unethical, as the people who vetoed didn't even (according to him) know what was going on.

2019-03-02 14:39:47 UTC  

any ufc fans? 235 tonight

2019-03-02 14:39:49 UTC  

Ah, I see.

What's going on?

2019-03-02 14:40:41 UTC

Dunno... 45 mins ago?

2019-03-02 14:42:11 UTC  

I would have to go out to watch the fight.

2019-03-02 14:42:16 UTC  

Oh

2019-03-02 14:42:20 UTC  

@Wojak I'm glad to hear it was a step down, not entirely out.

2019-03-02 14:42:35 UTC  

yea, great time to get some ass too

2019-03-02 14:42:50 UTC  

I think I misread @Xychotic 's question.
