again i am sorry for have broken the rules and offended the users of this forum

hi Thinker

thank you for your apology when you felt you may have upset another. however, you are free to hold your personal opinion

in my experience, the most part in Asia, and especially in the West, the real Buddhism of the monks & nuns, monasteries & dhamma centres are perceived as objects of safety by homosexuals. for example, in Thailand, homosexuals generally do not exhibit fear when they visit the monastery

Buddha taught there are three gifts we can give the world:

(1) material gifts & helpful acts

(2) the gift of safety; abhayadana, which means 'no fear'

(3) the gift of equality

Buddha saw the world as comprising of different compositions of elements. Buddha never taught against homosexuality because he understood the different compositions of elements in nature

Again, the Tathagata understands as it actually is the world with its many and different elements. That too is a Tathagata's power...

Again, the Tathagata understands as it actually is how beings have different inclinations. That too is a Tathagata's power...
