Wat’s Carbon Water-N-Stuff Thread - Concepts In Iron And Wood!!!

We plant merit with our minds, and we commit crimes with our minds. With our minds, we imprint images. This one mind is like an artist. It can draw anything, and what it draws is realized. If you surrender your impressions, ideas, thoughts, and so on at the moment they arise without imprinting them on your mind, your minds will not be tainted, just as the lotus flower is not tainted by the muddy water whence it grows.

~ Jae Woong Kim



Craving is the aspiring to an object that one has not yet reached; clinging is the grasping of an object that one has reached. They are the roots of the suffering due to seeking and guarding.

~ Buddhaghosa

The highest form of wisdom is kindness.

~ The Talmud

I never could understand the mindset behind this. Why would anyone spend all that cash to buy multiple somethings then just put them out in a field and let them rot?

Makes no sense.


I know what you mean. However, I sincerely doubt that there is much tied up in this row of model A coupes.

Even at the cost of buying them originally, at the time it was a lot of money.

It's like companies who buy semi trucks then park them out back to rot away instead of selling them after their depreciation is fully realized. They do it to avoid recapture of that depreciation but that's just fucking dum because it's peanuts compared to the profit in the sale and the paperwork is simple.

And it can be avoided by gifting the truck to someone who then sells it after transferring title.

The whole let it rot thing is just mind boggling.

My dad was working on a 1941 Cadillac 60 special way back a long time ago. There was a junkyard Southeast of town that had a lot of old old cars in it. He took me down there on Saturday looking for parts for something because they had a couple of Cadillacs there. They’re literally was a pile of model a Ford rear ends. It was kind of impressive. He had had a lot of model Fords there, and a lot of things he would not tell the parts from. My dad wanted the hood ornament off of one of his 41 Cadillacs, and it was not for sale. No matter what. Dad used to say that he was in love with with his junk. That would say that’s probably an accurate assessment. He certainly seemed to be a hoarder.


These other people are probably also hoarders.
 
'I've got children', 'I've got wealth.' This is the way a fool brings suffering on himself. He does not even own himself, so how can he have children or wealth?



The Four Noble Truths

1. Unenlightened life is full of suffering, pain, and difficulty.

2. This pain and suffering is caused by our ego-based desires and
attachments.

3. These desires can be overcome and we can lead lives of wisdom,
compassion, joy and equanimity.

4.
The way that leads to the cessation of pain is right views, right
thought or intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood,
right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.



~ Buddha
