Dear gn20611,

It's so easy.Look at the bottom line.You go to the following empty square.You type your message.If you want to review your post,you click on preview reply.If it is to your liking,them click on submit,voila your post will appear.This applies to all topics.What I do not understand you are up to 10 already.This is a site of non-argumental style.Lisa the owner of the club is very strict on that.
Always choose your words.Words are like swords or like a dove.

In my case ,I always tell the truth ,I hide nothing .Precept #2 of Buddhism.This site is one of loving kindness,Metta,people come here to share to get help,not to be criticized or ostracised.
If my answer did not help you ,I apologise.

Wishing you luck with us.

To all or none,
My downstairs neighbour is slightly handicapped and her only
pleasure is the computer.Hers died.Buddha said give,give.
I found her a restored comp.for $99.00 and a new screen for $5.00

Tonite,I lived Something I have never lived.Some of the tenants were sitting outside,preparing for supper on the b.b.cue.My neighbor,had prepared the supper with me on her mind.Chicken brochettes,fantastic rice,a Queen Elizabeth cake.We had supper outside.I had never lived this in my life.We were 5 people.
The supper lasted about 2 hours.One of the greatest moment of my life.

I am so glad to hear about your dinner, a sense of fellowship is very important, especially when healing.

As for these words, they are hard! I don't know for sure, it might help to provide me the sentences they are used in. Does the book not have a glossary? The Lotus Sutra is very hard to read without guidance on the symbols and metaphors, as a lot of it is not literal.

Here are my best guesses, based on a Sanskrit dictionary that I have. However, without the passages I cannot be sure I am getting the correct definition, as many words have more than one meaning:

Ginas - siddha powers, supernatural powers, said to come with advanced meditation

Mangughoshas - this is a hard one. I believe it is a compound word, mangu + ghoshas. Ghosha as I am familiar with it means loud sound, or sometimes mystical sound. I am not sure about mangu, although mang means perishable or transitory. What is the context?

dharmaparyaya - also compound, dharma + paryaya. Dharma you know - based on the context refers to enlightened teachings or truth. Paryaya often refers to time, a passage of time, or the course of time. I have seen the phrase 'dharma paryaya' used to refer to the recitation of sutras for merit also I think.
