ellauri216.html on line 558: St Macarius glorified God and said, “In truth, the Lord seeks neither virgins nor married women, and neither monks nor laymen, but values a person’s free intent, accepting it as the deed itself. He grants to everyone’s free will the grace of the Holy Spirit, which operates in an individual and directs the life of all who yearn to be saved.”
ellauri219.html on line 585: To a large degree, "Pelagianism" was defined by its opponent Augustine, and exact definitions remain elusive. Although Pelagianism had considerable support in the contemporary Christian world, especially among the Roman elite and monks, it was attacked by Augustine and his supporters, who had opposing views on grace, predestination and free will. Augustine proved victorious in the Pelagian controversy; Pelagianism was decisively condemned at the 418 Council of Carthage and is still regarded as heretical by the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church. Burn in hell Pelagius, go jump in the fiery lake! Vitun humanisti!
ellauri333.html on line 143: Meritorious is obedience to mother and father. Liberality to friends, acquaintances, and relatives, to Brahmanas and Sramanas (L e. Buddhist monks) is meritorious. Abstention from killing animals is meritorious. Moderation in expenditure (and) moderation in possessions are meritorious' (III, D).
ellauri399.html on line 120: In October 1973, Watts returned from a European lecture tour to his cabin in Druid Heights, California. Friends of Watts had been concerned about him for some time over his alcoholism. On 16 November 1973, at age 58, he died in the Mandala House in Druid Heights. He was reported to have been under treatment for a heart condition. Before authorities could attend, his body was whisked away from his home and cremated on a wood pyre at a nearby beach by Buddhist monks. Mark Watts relates that Watts was cremated on Muir Beach at 8:30 am after being discovered deceased at 6:00 am. He had it all planned. The trick about living is to know when to stop.
ellauri399.html on line 180: He once said, "I don't use religion for business but I use business principles in religion." You can say that again. Kas ainut työni tarkoitus / on raha, eikä synnin karkoitus. Viis sieluista: kun ruumis kuopataan / niin sielu menköön vaikka mustikkaan! Today, there are hundreds of SRF meditation groups and centers around the world that serve tens of thousands of members. He also worked to develop living exemplars of his teachings by setting up a monastic order within SRF that now includes more than 250 monks and nuns dedicated to their own pursuit of soul-unfoldment (monks) and to serving in missionary position (nuns).
ellauri447.html on line 295: Theophilus of Alexandria was sympathetic to Origenist teaching that God was incorporeal. MITVIT milläs sitten iso nyrkki jumalatonta kumauttaa? Mitenkä se sai leivotuxi käärmeitä? "These are a cinch." A large mob of Alexandrian monks who regarded God as anthropomorphic rioted in the streets. The only true and orthodox position, was that God had a literal, physical body resembling that of a human.
ellauri447.html on line 297: John Chrysostom, the Patriarch of Constantinople, granted the nitrite Tall Brothers asylum, which got him deposed. Some Origenist monks in Palestine, referred to by their enemies as "Isochristoi" emphasized Origen's teaching of the pre-existence of souls and held that all souls were originally equal to Christ's and would become equal again at the end of time. Both factions accused the other of heresy and other Christians accused both of them of heresy. Emperor Justinian ordered for all of Origen's writings to be burned. Even Gregory the Great was opposed to Universalism.
ellauri449.html on line 449: Instead of trying to define Beauty and the Good in words, Platonists might find it more productive to find wisdom about these ‘formless Forms’ through painting, mountain walking, mororbiking, running an allotment, writing a poem, solving a crossword or a difficult mathematical theorem, and/or creating a song. Above all, this process should be seen as an adventure in creating and discovering beautiful things. Non-Platonic texts can be helpful guides in this context. Good examples include F.S.C. Northrop, Homer, Nagarjuna, the Daoist monks quoted by John Blofeld, Patrick Doorly (author of The Truth About Art) and, of course, Robert Pirsig himself.

ellauri449.html on line 668: The Jingle Record of the Transmission of the Motor Bike is a 30 volume work consisting of putative biographies of the Chan Buddhist and Zen Buddhist patriarchs and other prominent Buddhist monks. It represents the first appearance of "encounter dialogues" in the Chan tradition, which in turn are the antecedents of the famous kōan stories.
xxx/ellauri125.html on line 788: Live Through This was released on Geffen's subsidiary label DGC on April 12, 1994, one week after Cobain's death from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the Seattle home he shared with Love, who was in rehab in Los Angeles at the time. In the following months, Love was rarely seen in public, holing up at her home with friends and family members. Cobain's remains were cremated and his ashes divided into portions by Love, who kept some in a teddy bear and some in an urn. In June 1994, she traveled to the Namgyal Buddhist Monastery in Ithaca, New York and had his ashes ceremonially blessed by Buddhist monks. Another portion was mixed into clay and made into memorial sculptures.

And fatten the monks' bank accounts. 1 to lama, 2 to me.
xxx/ellauri187.html on line 286: Jerome's Against Helvidius (c. 383) paved the way for aspects of future Josephite devotion with his assertion that Joseph was always a virgin. Poor guy. The earliest record of a formal devotional following for Joseph in the Western Church is in the abridged Martyrology of Rheinau in Northern France, which dates to the year 800. References to Joseph as nutritor Domini ("educator/guardian of the Lord") from the 9th to the 14th centuries continued to increase as Mariology developed, and by the 12th century, along with greater devotion to Mary, the writings of the Benedictine monks began to foster a following for Joseph and they inserted his name in their liturgical calendars and their martyrology.
xxx/ellauri250.html on line 592: The funeral rites, orchestrated by his widow, were conducted by Buddhist monks. His gravestone reads: "Don't Even Try". That is, you wait, and if nothing happens, you wait some more. It's like a fly high on the wall. You wait for it to come to you. When it gets close enough you reach out, slap out and kill it. Or, if you like its looks, you make a pet out of it, like Kärpyli."
