Yes pummy369, I would like to thank you aswell...Thanx for reminding my forgetable head Krusty! And thank you for a generous offer. I m going to Stuttgart, it s where I used to live till this sommer. Bist du Deutsch eigentlich?
I m not sure if I will show her the abortion videos, I m not even sure if I could see them myself.
Today I heard about something that really shocked me, even though I thought I can not be shocked in todays society.
There is a female artist (from US think, but I m not sure) and she is creating what she calls art, by deliberately getting pregnant and then aborting afterwords. I don t know how many times she repeated it, but definatelly several. And the best of all, she is backing it up with some kind of comparison with the art of Marcel Duschamp (spelling..!?).
I just imagine that this woman is so deluded that she is actually allready "over the cooko"s nest"- as Tsem Rinpcohes once put it his teaching, but what horrifies me is the tolerance our "liberal" society to such "performances".
There is a whole lot more actually in my head, I m even thinking about writing about it in an essay work I have, since I study philosophy. If it may help in any possible way!
uh, there are articles that state that it was all a hoax to gain attention. |

Hy folks!
What to say?
I m beginning to lose faith in people...I have been writing e mails to my sisters boyfriend, just trying to be objective and help the situation resolve in the best pobbible way...
And I m sorry to say that I m only more and more disappointed with people. He has even started to threat to do anything in his power to ship my sister back to Croatia, in case she has the baby. He comes from a very influential family and i don t doubt he would have the power to do it.
I know she is terrified, because she doesn t have anybody in Croatia...for her, it is the worst thing possible.
I m short on patience, it is hard to be compasionate, sometimes I would even say some nasty things to him, very nasty...
What to do?
I m so far that I even think it may not be such a good idea if she has a child with such a person. Who can decide???
I m thinking, maybe it s time to ask my Rinpoche for a divination...

You could take vows and dedicate the merit to your sister and her child, all mothers and their children.
Ask Ksitigarbha for help.
Calling that man's family may be a good move to protect the child, but your sister should definitely leave him as soon as possible I think.

Hi Lola,
If you do ask divination from your Rinpoche , make sure you carry out what he advises as our Rinpoche's time is very previous and they normally need to help many many people.
Could you provide shelter for your sister ? Crunch question?

I m aware of the importaince of divination, and I personaly ask for it only in extremely difficult situations. I myself would never doubt or disobay Rinpoche"s advice, but my sister is no Buddhist and therefore I m not sure how she would react to it. I would always provide my sister a shelter, whatever situation arrises, but I am a student in the moment and I can not help her financialy, and I m living with three other roomates in a veeeery small appartament. But she must not fear being left alone, I will take care of her with all the means possible. Forgive my lack of English, but what does the "crunch quastion" mean? |

By using crunch I meant , the question is one that pressures you.  Where are studying and what is yr major? |

I am studying in Croatia, Split (thats a beatifuly city on the coastline of Adriatic sea) and my majors are philosophy and English (embarassed to say, since my spelling is horrible, but it s just my second semester  ) Western philosophy was the first best thing, after my true interest, which is Buddhist philosophy... I m dreaming that it may help me one day, to help others... Next year I m maybe moving to Berlin, von Humboldt Univeristy...But lets see... And you? |
