    How Intellectually Stimulated Do You Feel

    in General Topics

    Posted

    I don't know where this is going anymore but it's not about who's intellectual or not it's about you and how you feel brain wise while you are here. As a general I felt more artistically stimulated by colours and smells and sights in Thailand but less intellectually stimulated.

    I just wondered how others felt...

    Tan Dhammanando lives in Wat Benchamabopitr in Bangkok. Does anyone go in to see him regulary? I sent him some fancy tea recently. We used to all have such wonderful meetings outside his quarters on a sunday

    As suggested here's the new thread on Robert. I've tried to copy in the stuff from the Sagharaja thread but think I've lost all the links... ooops, sorry about the pigs ear job. Maybe SJ can clean it up :o

    By the way do you know Phra Dhammanando in Wat Ben ?

    It was Somdet Phra Nyanasara that I met. It must have been cool to study with him SJ. By the way do you know Phra Dhammanando in Wat Ben ?

    Only via email, and the brilliant documentary about him, Act Normal. Coincidentally last weekend I visited a wat in Lampang that he recommended, Wat Tha Ma-O. Before Ven moved to Wat Ben to continue his Pali studies (though the actual courses are at Wat Rakhang), he lived here and at Wat Phra Phutthabaht Tak Pha in Lamphun, I believe. He's a very active poster at e-sangha.

    He is a good teacher and a good friend of mine too. Wonderful sense of humour and very knowledgable. He logged me on to e-sangha but I unsubscribed as there were too many emails

    I'd like to get a copy of this film. I've tried the Act Normal website but it's no longer available. Any idea where I can buy or download it. Thanks.

    I would suggest contacting the director, Olaf de Fleur, via his myspace.com page.

    Sabaijai would it be possible to create another thread on Robert? I've just watched that UTube clip and there are many issues. One most apparent is that Robert ordained at the age of 17 and was a dilligent and funny student until being in Iceland where he felt human urges take over an eventually married a woman fron Kasakstan (he stayed with me en route to visit her home town). But as with real Buddhism he discovered that all was not sweetness and light and chose to go back to the Sangha.

    See also the Movies About Buddhism thread, where I reviewed the DVD of Olaf's film.

    Seonai, feel free to start a new thread on Ven Dhammanando.

    How Intellectually Stimulated Do You Feel

    To make this clear... I do not mean that being less intellectually stimulated here as something against Thais or Thailand. I just felt myself being less stimulated on a daily basis in Thailand. I speak near fluent Thai and the conversations I have with people in Thai are limited to a lack of opinion. Suggesting that I probably agree with a lot of what Jingjok has to say and what others have to say about the method of education in Thailand - limited thinking. Thai children are not taught to think as much as Western children and this must have an effect on future generations. Also reading, very few Thais read for pleasure/learning.

    It's all very interesting...

    Tb Exposure

    I may have said this in the other TB thread... but anyway... when I was first infectious with TB in 2005 I thought I had a cold. I even lost my voice. I kept on taking otc treatments for colds.

    The whole of last year my AFBs were positive but I have just been told that, as they never grew one culture in all my tests, that those AFBs were false positive and that the acteria presenting were in fact dead.

    I am now on no medication at all
