Huge reduction in meat-eating ‘essential’ to avoid climate breakdown

It is a false belief that we can’t get enough...

एउटी दयालु महिला

(A Kind Woman) भोकको पीडालाई धेरैले साँचो अर्थमा वुबुझ्दैनन् अथवा महसुस गर्दैनन् ।। संसारभर रहेका भुस्याहा कुकुरहरुरूको (Street Dog) भोकको पीडालाई त झन् थोरैले मात्र महसुस गर्दछन् ।। केही विशेष व्यक्तिले मात्र यस्तो पीडाको पहिचान गर्न सक्दछन् र ज्ञानी देउला तिनै विशेष व्यक्तिहरुरू मध्ये एक हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।।

Blog Chat Etiquette

These are some simple guidelines to make the blog chat room a positive, enjoyable and enlightening experience for everyone. Please note that as this is a chat room, we chat! Do not flood the chat room, or post without interacting with others.

EXPAND
Be friendly

Remember that these are real people you are chatting with. They may have different opinions to you and come from different cultures. Treat them as you would face to face, and respect their opinions, and they will treat you the same.

Be Patient

Give the room a chance to answer you. Patience is a virtue. And if after awhile, people don't respond, perhaps they don't know the answer or they did not see your question. Do ask again or address someone directly. Do not be offended if people do not or are unable to respond to you.

Be Relevant

Be polite

Avoid the use of language or attitudes which may be offensive to others. If someone is disrespectful to you, ignore them instead of arguing with them.

Please be advised that anyone who contravenes these guidelines may be banned from the chatroom. Banning is at the complete discretion of the administrator of this blog. Should anyone wish to make an appeal or complaint about the behaviour of someone in the chatroom, please copy paste the relevant chat in an email to us at care@kechara.com and state the date and time of the respective conversation.

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche
