2024.05.14 12:59 Amazingnewthings Best guesses on the behaviour or black triangles

WHY SO CLOSE
Many accounts claim large black triangles have been seen floating/drifting slowly above rooftops.
Chris Mellon once claimed his best guess as to why triangles are seen so low to the ground is because he thinks they are “mapping” the landscape.
This supposed guess from Mellon is clearly nonsense. So I don't know if he was feeding disinformation or being serious?
Because there is no reason an areal platform, even a human one, would need to come within feet of a rooftop to “map” the environment AND there is no good reason that supposed mapping would need to be done in such a slow fashion.
Meaning there is some other reason flying triangles and maybe other UFOs (I have heard at least one other claim of a saucer doing this) are floating close VERY close to rooftops at night.
This behaviour IMV absolutely has to do with whats inside houses at night and whats asleep at night being HUMANS.
Obviously an intelligently operated areal platform can’t conduct surveillance in the day time at such low altitudes AND during the day time people are AWAKE.
There is a connection between being asleep and the close proximity of UFOs, particularly triangles.
It has also occurred where one family member will be aware of this low frequency humming, sometimes woken up by it, where as other family members in the same house are oblivious to it and continue sleeping.
This suggests its targeted and whatever the purpose for this is, its directed at specific people.
Meaning IMO the reason some of these UFOs get so close to houses is because there is something being accessed or delivered to individual human-beings, that can only be accessed or delivery when unaware and asleep.
This could include a heavy dose of targeted radiation for all anyone knows because we don't know why they need to get that close when someone is asleep.
It could also potentially be some people are attracting these objects during sleep. There is no way of knowing at the moment.
The bottom line is that, im not buying “mapping the landscape”.
WHY THE BIG LIGHTS?
Again, Mellon suggested the lights located at each of the 3 points on the triangle's are designed for mapping. I guess “triangulation”.
Again, this does not explain the excessive brightness of those lights or the close proximity to rooftops.
So there seems to be a paradox here as to why these UFOs have very bright lights yet behave covertly. Except not so much of a paradox really.
Because a car has full beam headlights but doesn't have them on at all times. Meaning just because triangles have been seen lit up, they have also been seen with no lighting. So their behaviour is clearly dependent of their activities and motives.
ARE THEY US TECH?
Well, they behave in ways that could mean they are.
Would highly advanced NHI need to get within feet of individuals its interested in? At night? When people are sleeping?
Would NHI want to advertise itself with huge lights yet never reveal itself?
HOW TO DETERMINE THE MOST LIKLEY ANSWER
Do low, slow flying triangles operate everywhere on the planet or do they only operate in countries that are allied to the USA? Because it if turns out all accounts of low, slow triangles are only seen in the US and its allies it would HIGHLY suggest these platforms cannot be risked being used in the same fashion in any hostile nation that might shoot them down.
THE BELGIUM WAVE
Why Belgium? The claim I heard on a UFO TV Show, was because its very well lit up and can be seen from space.. lol.
The actual most probable reason is that Brussels is headquarters of NATO.
The Belgium wave therefore was almost certainly a test of NATO response times, when faced with US top secret technology.
It also means that if NATO even had orders to shoot down one of these triangles (I bet they didn't have) that any possible crash would be scooped up by the USA anyhow. So a test on NATO with US black technology is a no risk test as far as the US is concerned.
SO IF THIS IS US TECH, WHAT IS IT DOING OVER HOUSES?
Shits and giggles is one potential reason. They can do it so they are doing it. Another reason is to bolster the alien mythology to distract from what it actually is.
Of corse a more concerning reason is the targeting of individuals for unknown reasons.
BOTTOM LINE
Friends do not hover about your rooftop at 3am without giving a plausible reason for doing it.
The behaviour 100% sounds like something the US would be responsible for IMHO

2024.05.14 12:58 jgucci111 Advice???? On toddler 5 years old and is my s/o nephew

This isn't my child but just wanted to vent and get some insight. Not even sure if this is the right spot to post but please anything helps! Just want to vent.
Long story short, my girlfriend has a nephew who is living with her and he is 5 1/2 years old that we are around pretty often. I'm getting to the point where his actions and the way he acts and the lil man he is becoming into is starting to get to me. This kid is a little sh*thead! Starting to annoy me.
I've grown to love the kid and been around him the last 3 1/2 years but man!!! Testing the hell out of me. I've noticed that it's starting to annoy me the way he has been reacting/acting and I find his actions as a 5 year old not okay nor acceptable. It's tough cause I KNOW it isn't my place to say nothing or let alone tell someone how to parent .. I feel like there isn't enough discipline on the child. Is this normal to feel like this even though it isn't my kid or my partners kid? It's her sister's child.
I'm constantly around him and it kinda upsets me that nobody else sees that there is no discipline in this child's life. McDonald's EVERYDAY, drinks soda, eating candy, sweets, etc. you tell him no and he starts hitting and saying "no". Tells you "be quiet", starts becoming disrespectful and does not listen. Grandma is ALWAYS spoiling him even when he gets in trouble inside and outside of school and even in the house. He controls the parents life. What he eats, gets to do, even down to what time he goes to bed going to sleep between 10-11pm. I know it's typical toddler tendencies but it's bad. List goes on... A menace right now. Just feel like an asshole for feeling like this??
My MAIN issue is that he's been real touchy and especially with my girlfriend. He is constantly trying to grab her butt and boobs. She tells him to stop and he still continues and tries. Sometimes he'll even try to "lay" with her and randomly will put his face on her butt or slap her butt and grab her boobs. To me, it feels like she isn't stern enough and isn't "mean" enough to let him know that isn't okay and you don't touch anyone in those parts of the body. It turns into an argument for her and I cause I find it uncomfortable that this is STILL an ongoing issue for over a year now. He recently got introuble at school for saying "boobs and butt" in Spanish. My girlfriend lately has been making it seem like I'm "jealous" of a 5 year old when I'm not at all jealous. Almost as if she's excusing the action. Truly just feel uncomfortable. Just not okay with a 5 year old ALMOST 6 who is that touchy. Doesn't help the case that he's getting introuble for similar things at school.
Am I over reacting or anyone else would feel this way also?

2024.05.14 12:58 Material-Explorer138 Messy sugar attempt

https://www.reddit.com/sugarlifestyleforum/s/AIkX0trKxX
Not sharing this for any specific reason, just a funny story that I have no one to share with
Tl;dr met with a POT we had amazing personal chemistry, but horrible sexual chemistry. Ended up with a friend rather than a SB
Story time: I posted about this POT a week ago, saying that its very annoying how after we moved to whatsapp she became fully unresponsive. A few days later she texts me that her phone wasn’t working which is why she wasn’t replying. I initially called BS but rolled with it anyway because she had become responsive so it was fine. We try to setup a date but it didn’t work out initially
A few days later I went on a solo wellness retreat in a resort an hour outside the city, spent the first night alone, then out of boredom decided to ask her if she’d join, fully expecting her to say no. Surprisingly she was totally game (later I kept joking about how she has zero regards for her own safety and she admitted that in retrospect it was dumb of her to do that)
I book her a separate room and send her uber money to come, then pick her up off the closest spot since its a private compound and ubers have no access. Right off the bat we hit it off amazingly and were really enjoying each other’s company. We check her in, she goes to her room to freshen up and get ready while I go lounge by the pool for a bit. She texts me “sorry its taking me long, just getting ready for you” accompanied by one of the sexiest spicy pics Ive ever received which got me really excited. We lounge by the pool, have dinner and hang out for a bit, and the conversation is flowing amazingly.
Then we head to my room, we start playing around for a bit nothing too serious, then she says shes kinda sleepy so she’ll rest a bit so we can have fun later. So we turn on a movie and just cuddle and she falls asleep.
A bit of backstory, we’re in a conservative middle eastern country where pre martial sex is kinda prohibited in resorts. A lot of places turn a blind eye, and I got the vibe from this place that they were chill, but boy was I wrong. 10 mins after she falls asleep someone bangs on the door, asking me to accompany them to the lobby. They say the cameras saw her stepping into my room 50 minutes ago and someone heard us fooling around, and we have to check out rn or theyll get the cops involved ( the legal side of this is a bit hazy, but I didnt want to cause I scene). Mind you, its 10 pm and were an hour outside the city in the middle of nowhere. I try to rationalize with the manager for a bit including hinting at money but he wasnt having it and he said we have to check out right now and that we’re both blacklisted from coming back (shame, I really liked the place before they turned out to be cockblocks)
Anyway we leave, try to find a last minute airbnb, drive for an hour till its ready, we have to enter separately (again conservative state) so a lot of drama was involved. We finally get to the room and we can’t wait any longer, we start going at each other instantly. Midway through I realize.. this is not doing anything.. for either of us. We tried different things, different positions, everything, the sex was just not sexing.. We rest a bit try again but by then we had already lost it and neither of us was really into it. We cuddle and sleep (the cuddling was great tbh but not really looking for a cuddle buddy). We wake up the next day, head to the shower, try to get it on a bit, again nothing. So we finally talk about it (I tried to get her to talk about it the previous night but she didnt want to), I end up giving her oral for a bit (I told her that Ive been told I give good head, but she said she didnt enjoy, the next day she asked me to). She seemed to enjoy it, or fake it, not entirely sure. Then we hang out for a bit then I drive her home, we stop for coffee on the way and again the conversation is amazing like constant laughing and relating to each other etc
We had agreed on PPM as a concept but she was too shy to name a number, so on my drive back home she says that even though the night was rocky she would still appreciate if I could help her out. I reply I was definitely gonna send her and asked again if she had a number in mind. She says no and I go with a mid range number to which she says is more than enough and shes really pleased with. We agreed that we would like to see each other again but definitely outside the bedroom. So no go on the SR but at least i made a friend

2024.05.14 12:56 Significant-Cut-2145 My neighbour the priest ✝️

Sorry for my bad grammar I’m not good at writing but i wanted to share. Around a year ago I (15F) at the time lived in a smallish house with my single mother, my mum is a very bubbly woman who can start a conversation with anyone and is loved by everyone. I remember one morning hearing her talk to someone outside my bedroom window just shrugging it off I eventually went downstairs to ask who she was talking too. Finding out she was talking to our new neighbour. She was very sympathetic towards him as she described him as very old (she said around 95ish) and lived by himself, a nurse coming to visit him a few times a month, my mum also found out while talking to him he had no family members as they all passed so it really was just him she also mentioned that he was a priest which I found quite creepy.
a few weeks had passed by and my mum been the kind woman she was cut our new neighbours grass for him and would usually strike up a conversation out of pity. I just want to mention that I never saw this man once I’d just heard about him from my mums daily rambling.
My house had a window at the top of my stairs that if you looked out of faces the priests house and as they were almost identically built there was a window facing right back at ours, again I never saw this man only his dim landing light on. It had now been around 3 months since I’d heard from the priest. This One night i will never forget, around 1am I’d gone downstairs to get somthing to eat and on my journey back up the stairs and too my bedroom I looked out the landing window out of just pure instinct. There on the opposite side was the old man , his hand gripping the banister as he helped himself up the stiars, the lighting was terrible but he was very skinny as old people usually are. Been nosy I stood there for a moment wanting to get a good look at him, he was hunched over slightly as he struggled to almost carry his own body weight and I swore I could see the ridges of his spine thought his shirt as he hobbled out of view of the window. Not to be mean but this freaked me the fuck out and I immediately went to my room trying to get that disturbing image out my head before I slept.
Around a week maybe two later the priests nurse showed up at our door asking if we’d seen him recently as she was unable to get into his house as it was completely locked and sealed. she hadn’t heard from him in over 4 months and was getting concerend for his well being. I wasn’t at home to tell her I’d seen him in the window as I was at school so my mother just said she hadnt heard from him either. The nurse called the police who broke down his door. I was just walking home as i reached my house, the police giving another blow at the door with like a pole thing i dont really know what it was all I do know is that when the door finally came down the smell that left that house could make anyones toes curl. All I can describe it as is when ur cat brings home a mouse and it dies under your couch without you knowing.
Rushing inside I immediately went up to my room. Peering out my bedroom window watching the police enter his house, covering their noses. I don’t really remember what happened after that except when they wheeled his body out in a black bag and into the back of a black van. It was sad really I’d never gotten to speak to him and I’d now felt guilty for been so horrified by his appearance.
My mum was also distraught by his passing and was talking to the police outside. The house took weeks to be cleaned as when he’d died all the windows and doors were shut, keeping the smell locked in.
When the police left and the street went silent again i found myself spending more time with my mum downstairs, she has always been religious so as we spoke she lit a candle for him out of respect and to help him pass into heaven. Bringing up the putrid smell I asked her what the police told her. And what she told me has stuck with me since that day. They said he’d died a few months ago and had been found, decomposing in his bed.
At first i just shrugged this off when she spoke, yeah it was disturbing but more sad nobody had noticed his disappearance. But then it clicked. If he died a few months ago, who was it that I saw through the window? I mentioned this to my mum, she also knew I’d never saw or spoke to him while he was alive so she asked me what he looked like.
Wispy white hair and a boney hunch. I still remember her face drop from a blush pink to a pale white.
We moved out a month later.
This story isn’t that interesting as I haven’t had many scary paranormal? Things happen to me but it’s a true story so I hope you enjoyed :)

2024.05.14 12:55 cats-arrr-cool I am terrible at creating relationships with others both platonic and romantic.

For some background, I (19F) am midsize , and my face has been called cute by some. That said I am not very attractive by societal standards, but I am alright. However, I do not believe others enjoy my company because, on top of being okay-looking, I am awkward, callous, and a bit foolish. I believe this self-concept is ruining my relationships with others.
There are many times have I killed a person’s interest in me with my awkward stares and long periods of silence. It's not because I don't care for the conversation but I am trying to find the words that will be right given the relationship, environment, and boundaries. I'm unsure of most of the boundaries. I usually put the boundaries of others so strictly whereas if I were asked, the things I want to ask, I would answer.
I have lost the chance for many meaningful friendships because I often confuse platonic feelings with romantic ones. Whenever I have strong feelings, I am unsure of it being romantic so I close off and put up more boundaries because I don't want to be deceiving them. I start to question everything I do and say as if I have ulterior motives for interacting with them.
I wonder what could have been if I had shown the people I care about, that I do care about them. I find myself thinking back to memories of people who I didn't think cared about my existence. Yet every single memory shows signs that they were, I just didn't see them or maybe even believe them.
What worries me the most is if I will ever stop running away from the connections I so desperately crave. I have tried dating apps many times. I download and delete in a never-ending cycle. I have conversations with people that are truly divine yet I delete the app in the middle without an explanation. I get scared when they want to meet up because I still feel I am deceiving them. I feel as if they don't know my size or the way my face looks. And every time I delete the app I feel horrible for all the people I left hanging without an explanation because it is not as if they are a problem.
It truly hit me when I downloaded a dating app again and saw an ex-coworker. I vaguely remember seeing him on the app right before I started working at that company. However, I am unclear if I chatted with him because I only have a feeling and a hint of distant memories. The fact I didn't remember him and can't remember if we talked, even though in person, I was in awe of his beauty both inside and out is more than enough proof that I have a problem. (Honestly unsure if this is relevant but I just had to include it)
Thank you for reading :). If you've read this far I'd like to know if anyone else has dealt with a similar problem or maybe some help with changing my ways? Sorry if it's formatted weirdly. It's my first post and I was unsure where this would be best said.

2024.05.14 12:54 DrYangHF7 Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door healed my MG after 3 ICU visits (重症肌无力)

Gratitude to the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva, Gratitude to Master Jun Hong Lu.
Respected fellow Buddhists, do you know what's worse than death? Have you ever escaped death? Today, I have a firsthand experience of escaping death to share with you.
Have you heard of a disease called myasthenia gravis (MG)? I believe many people have not. As only about 30,000 people worldwide suffer from this disease (Note: This figure may vary as there are differing estimates, with the United States alone having approximately 36,000 to 60,000 cases), where the nerves cannot control the muscles. For example, if the affected area is the hand, it can feel pain, heat, cold, and pressure. But no matter how much you command your hand to move, it won't budge. I am one of those 30,000 people. The affected areas include the cheeks, mouth, left arm, and the chest muscles responsible for breathing. In other words, during an episode of the disease, I cannot breathe. Can you now imagine how close I was to death?
Back to my story. In mid-September 2012, my lungs were infected with bacteria, and I fell seriously ill. On the night of September 29th, my breathing became increasingly difficult, and my family rushed me to the hospital for emergency treatment. The next night, my condition deteriorated to the point of MG, and my breathing became so weak that it was almost cut off. The doctors once again performed emergency procedures for me, eventually placing me on life support system (LSS) and transferring me to the intensive care unit (ICU). The so-called LSS involved many instruments strapped to my body and several tubes inserted into my body. Although the areas where the tubes were inserted were very painful, I dared not move for fear that any loosening of the instruments might endanger my life. So, at that moment, I didn't dare to move at all.
One night, a nurse attempted to draw blood for examination, but the needle just couldn't find the right artery. She would try once, then pull out the needle, try again, and repeat this process several times. I was in excruciating pain, but because my body was encased in instruments, I couldn't move. Finally, I couldn't help but ask myself in my heart, what did I do wrong? Why must I endure all this? I've never harmed anyone, never wronged anyone, so why me?
At that time, I didn't understand Buddhism, nor did I know anything about making vows. But the pain drove me, someone who barely recognized a few Chinese characters despite being educated in English, to silently call out the name of Guan Yin Bodhisattva in my heart, begging her to save me from this sea of suffering. A few days later, my condition improved. The doctors removed my LSS, and I was transferred from the ICU to a regular ward. I thought I would soon be discharged and return to my previous life, believing that everything was almost over. I felt very happy!
Looking back now, I realize how ignorant and selfish I was at that time, even as I began to recover. I was only thinking about my own survival and never cared about other people who were suffering like me. Perhaps it was because of this that I received a retribution. On the same evening that I was transferred to the regular ward, I suddenly had difficulty breathing again, couldn't make any sound, and my whole body was immobilized. I could only use my eyes and hands to draw attention, making small gestures with my hand to communicate.
A nurse noticed and called a doctor from the floor. Surprisingly, after glancing at the readings on the instruments, the doctor told the nurse that my heartbeat and breathing were normal, and then left. Once again, I tried my best to attract the attention of those around me. Thanks to the blessings of the Bodhisattva, another doctor passing by noticed me and observed that something was not right with my condition. He/She called back the previous doctor and urged him to conduct a detailed examination. While they were debating whether I was normal or not, I was almost breathless, mentally giving up on life.
The readings on the instruments once again sounded the alarm. Luckily, with both doctors nearby, they were able to save me at the fastest speed possible. The next day, I woke up in the familiar ICU, with the life support system back on me. Through this rollercoaster of emotions, I finally understood that the suffering I endured stemmed from the ignorance and folly accumulated since my birth, perhaps not just in this lifetime, but through countless past lives. Now, I must face the consequences.
I once again prayed to Guan Yin Bodhisattva and made a vow to her: "Guan Yin Bodhisattva, I believe that every soul, before they pass away, experiences a lot of suffering, and their pain is surely no less than what I am enduring now. I implore Guan Yin Bodhisattva to save me from all this suffering. I am willing to be a vegetarian for the rest of my life."
Whether you believe it or not is up to you. Two days after making this vow to Guan Yin Bodhisattva to be a lifelong vegetarian, my lung infection showed significant improvement, and I was subsequently transferred to a regular ward. Perhaps it was destined. Not only did I start to follow a vegetarian diet, but my parents also understood at the same time that my illness was beyond the control of doctors and only the Bodhisattva could save me. At that time, our entire family had just begun to explore Buddhism.
Every day, my mother devoutly chanted the name of Guan Yin Bodhisattva, while my father recited the Heart Sutra for me diligently.
However, our ordeal was not yet over. One night, I once again experienced difficulty breathing and had to be placed on the LSS for the third time.
I saw my parents kneeling down, praying to the deities and Bodhisattvas to bless me with a safe recovery. They had knelt before doctors before, but this time, seeing them kneel again went beyond what I could bear. I didn't want my parents to kneel for me. Witnessing them kneel deeply wounded me. As a 19-year-old young man, I should be taking care of my parents, yet why were my parents, who were over 50 years old, kneeling for me?
Three times being placed on LSS and admitted to the ICU, followed by three instances of improvement, resulted in my transfer to a regular ward. It was three months later, after my extended hospital stay, that I finally got discharged and returned home. I am deeply grateful for the blessings of the Bodhisattva. Instead of weakening our faith in Buddhism, this series of challenges only deepened our belief in the principles of karma and karmic obstacles as explanations for my condition. After leaving the hospital, my family and I continued to immerse ourselves in the teachings of Buddhism. Grateful for the blessings of the Bodhisattva!
One day, my family and I went to a vegetarian restaurant near our home and discovered Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door. Excitedly, I immediately went online when I returned home and downloaded several Buddhist scriptures in English phonetics from the Guan Yin Citta website to start reciting. Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door truly works wonders. That very night after reciting the Buddhist scriptures, I dreamt that while reciting the Great Compassion Mantra on the balcony at home, the image of Guan Yin Bodhisattva appeared in the clouds.
However, the next day after waking up, I felt a headache and drowsiness when reciting scriptures. My family and I took the liberty of contacting the Guan Yin Citta fellowship in Kuala Lumpur. The Buddhist practitioner who answered the call instructed us to come to the fellowship to recite scriptures. One day, while reciting scriptures at the fellowship, I experienced severe headaches. At that time, everyone was busy preparing for a Dharma conference, and the venue was crowded. I am grateful to the practitioner who cleared some space for me to lie down and gathered many fellow practitioners present to recite scriptures for me.
Later, the practitioner explained that my headaches were messages from the karmic creditors and taught me about releasing lives, making vows, and the importance of Little Houses for eliminating karmic obstacles. I immediately arranged to release thousands of fish. Today, my family still insists on releasing lives for me on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month.
Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door is truly a miraculous practice. Ever since I began reciting Little Houses under the guidance of the fellow practitioner, I have experienced continuous dreams. On the first night, I dreamt of a seven-story-tall Buddha statue with many people practicing beneath it. Just two weeks later, after memorizing the Great Compassion Mantra, I dreamt of the Dharmakaya of Bodhisattva and two Dharma protectors driving me around in a car. Even more wonderfully, two months later, after memorizing the Eighty-Eight Buddhas Great Repentance, I dreamt of myself having tea with Master Lu.
Most importantly, after continuing to release lives, make vows, and recite Little Houses, my illness has not recurred.
Having now healed from this unusual illness, I'm here to share my story with you. These dreams signify an enhancement in the quality of life. I deeply appreciate the blessings of the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva, which have reinforced my resolve to earnestly follow the path of Buddhism and instilled me with confidence. I am dedicated to diligently progressing in the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door and remain steadfast in my commitment.
Currently, I am studying in Singapore, and whenever I have the opportunity, I propagate the Dharma and benefit sentient beings. Whenever I return to Malaysia, I often volunteer at the fellowship center.
Additionally, I would like to mention two more things. Firstly, on the second night after making my vow to be a vegetarian, I saw a child's spirit clearly flying beside me in the hospital and heard it laughing. Shortly after, I dreamt of a man killing a woman and cutting open her chest. In the dream, I felt that the pain of the woman being cut open was exactly the same as the pain I felt during my surgery.
While many still question the reality of karma and karmic obstacles, doubting Master Lu's teachings, I have personally experienced their effects. Thus, I hope my story can encourage you to embark on the practice of Buddhism and the recitation of Buddhist scriptures, starting today. I wish to prevent anyone from following my path, waiting until karmic obstacles manifest and adversity strikes before beginning their spiritual journey. I am deeply thankful for all those who stood by me during that challenging time, particularly my family and friends, who supported me through my darkest moments. My heartfelt gratitude also goes to the fellow practitioners at the Guan Yin Citta fellowship in Kuala Lumpur, who patiently guided me into the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door.
Deep gratitude to our Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Master Jun Hong Lu for establishing the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door, guiding us on a path away from suffering towards happiness. Lastly, and most importantly, deep gratitude to the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva, who saves those in distress and hardship. With Her Buddha light blessing each one of us, She guides us back to the right path of learning Buddhism and constantly watches over us, blessing us at all times and in all places. Gratitude to the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva!

下面让我们有请来自马来西亚的郭同修与我们分享:郭同修身患绝症,重症肌无力,饱受病痛折磨几次病危。然而心灵法门使他摆脱病魔,重获新生。让我们掌声欢迎!
感恩大慈大悲观世音菩萨,感恩卢军宏师父。
尊敬的各位佛友,你是否知道什么事情比死更糟糕?你是否曾经死里逃生?今天我便有一个亲身经历死里逃生的故事要告诉你。
你是否听过一种称为重症肌无力的疾病?相信很多人都不曾听过。因为全世界只有约三万人患上这种病,患者的神经控制不到肌肉。举例说,如果患病部位是手臂,这个手就能感觉到痛热冷及压力。但无论如何你怎么叫你那个手动,它都不会动。我就是三万人之一。而受影响的部位包括脸颊,嘴巴,左手臂以及负责呼吸的胸肌。也就是说,当病程发作的时候,我是无法呼吸的。你现在估计到我多接近死亡了吧?
回到我的故事。2012年9月中旬,我肺部被细菌感染,久病不起。在9月29日当晚,我的呼吸也到了越来越困难,家人赶紧送进医院急救。第二天夜里,病情终于恶化到重症肌无力,我的呼吸微弱到快要断气了。医生再次替我急救,最后替我戴上了维生系统,并送进加护病房。所谓维生系统,就是很多仪器套在身上,很多管子插进身体里。虽然被插管子的部位很痛,但万一随便一个仪器松脱了,可能我的生命就会有危机。所以,我当时连动都不敢动。
有一夜,护士替我抽血检查,但是针管却一直插不进正确的动脉。她们这里插一下不行,拔出针管,在那里又插一下,一次又一次。我那时痛得死去活来,却因为全身套满了仪器而不能动。我终于忍不住在心里问自己,我做错了什么?为何必须承受这一切?我不曾伤害任何人,也不曾亏待任何人,为什么是我?
那时还不懂佛法,也不懂什么许愿。但痛苦使得我这个受英文教育认不到几个中文字的人也会在心里喊出观世音菩萨的佛号,祈求她救我出苦海。几天后,我的情况有好转。医生移除了我的维生系统,从加护病房推进了普通病房。我想自己很快可以出院,回到之前的生活,一切几乎结束了。我觉得很开心!
现在回想起来,我才发觉自己当时是多么的愚昧,才开始康复仍然如此的自私。只想着自己生存,不曾关心其他和我一样受苦的人。可能因为这样我受到了教训。就在我被转进普通病房的同一天晚上,我突然呼吸困难,发不出声音,全身又不能动,只能用眼神和手,以我的手用一点小动作来引起别人的注意。
一个护士发现到把楼层的医生叫来。想不到医生竟然看看仪器读数后跟护士说我的心跳和呼吸都正常,然后就离开了。我再一次用最尽力的引起身旁的人注意。感谢菩萨保佑。这时有另外一位医生经过,看到我,察觉到我的神态不正常,并把之前的医生叫回来,求他详细检查。就在他们两个还在争论我究竟是正常或不正常,一旁我已经几乎断气了,心里放弃活命了。
仪器读数也再一次变成警报状态。幸好两个医生在身旁,能以最快的速度把我救了。第二天,我在熟悉的加护病房里醒来,身上又套上了维生系统。经过这一次乐极生悲,我终于明白到我受的苦是源于我出生以来愚昧无知的罪,或许不止只有这一世,而是过去无数世累积下来的因果。如今要面对果报了。
我再次向观世音菩萨祈求,而且向她发愿说:“观世音菩萨,我相信每个灵魂,他们死之前都会受到很多苦,它们的痛苦肯定不比我现在所受的少。请求观世音菩萨救我脱离这一切痛苦。我愿意为此一生吃素。
相不相信由你。向观世音菩萨发愿终身吃素后两天我肺部感染有了明显的好转,之后被转进普通病房。或许是因缘到了。不但我自己开始吃素,我父母也同时明白到我的疾病已不在医生的控制范围,只有菩萨才能救到我。当时我们全家人才刚接触佛法。
妈妈每天勤念观音菩萨的佛号。爸爸找来一本《心经》每天为我念诵。
但是,我们的考验还没过去。某天晚上我再次感到呼吸困难,第三次戴上了维生系统。
我看到父母下跪求神佛菩萨保佑我平安度过。他们之前已经跪过医生了,这一次再下跪,已经超出我能承受的限度。我不要父母为我下跪。看到他们下跪,深深地刺伤了我。我这一个19岁的男孩应该照顾父母,反而为什么要让他们超过50岁的父母为我而下跪?
三次戴上了维生系统住进加护病房又三次的好转,被转进普通病房。我在医院里住了三个月后,才终于出院回家。感恩菩萨保佑。这三好三坏的过程,不但没有减少我和家人对佛法的信心,反而相信只有因果和业障才能解释我的状况。出院后,我和家人还继续研究什么是佛法。感恩菩萨加持!
某一天,我和家人到住家附近的一间素食馆,认识到心灵法门。于是,我回家就急不及待的上网,上心灵法门的网站下载了几篇佛经的英文拼音版开始念诵。心灵法门真的很灵验。我当夜念诵了经文后,便梦见在家中的阳台念诵《大悲咒》时,在梦里天上的云朵化出观世音菩萨的形象。
然而,第二天醒来后我念经便感到头痛及爱睡。我和家人冒昧地拨电话联络吉隆坡心灵法门共修会。接电话的师姐便叫我们到共修会里念经。一天我在共修会里念经时,头痛剧烈。当时大家正在忙着筹备法会,会所堆得很拥挤。很感恩师姐搬开东西,腾出空间让我躺下,还召集了在场的许多师兄师姐们一起为我念诵经文。
后来,师姐解释我的头痛是要经者的讯息,还教会我放生、许愿及小房子并告诉我消除业障的急迫性。我当时便即刻安排放生数千条鱼。如今家人依然坚持每逢初一十五为我放生。
心灵法门真的是很灵验的法门,自从我在师姐的教导下,开始以正确的方式念小房子之后,便不断有梦境显现。第一晚便梦见一座七层楼高的佛像,底下有很多人在共修。心灵法门真的很灵验的法门,两个星期后我背熟了《大悲咒》时,便梦到菩萨的法身,还有两护法神用车子载我兜圈。更美妙的是,两个月后,当我背起了《礼佛大忏悔文》,竟然梦见自己和师父一起喝茶。
最重要的是我继续的放生许愿及念小房子之后,我的病情不曾复发。
现在已经从这奇怪的疾病中痊愈,活下来告诉你们这一个故事。这一切的梦境显示生活素质提升。我都感恩大慈大悲的观世音菩萨的加持,坚定了我学佛精进,很有信心,并立志在心灵法门一门精进永不退转。
我如今在新加坡求学,只要有机会就弘法利生,一回到马来西亚更是经常到共修会工去做义工。
另外,我要补充两件事,第一件事在我发愿吃素后的第二晚,我便在医院看见一小孩子的灵性清楚地在我旁边飞过,还发出了笑声。不久后我又梦见了一个男人杀了一个女人,还把她的胸口割开。而我在梦里感觉,那女人的被割开胸口的痛苦竟然跟我动手术时的痛苦一模一样。很多人还在质疑因果和业障的存在,怀疑卢台长的教导,但是我亲身体验过了。因此,我希望自己的故事能启发你学佛,学习佛法,今天就开始念诵经文。因为我不希望有人跟我一样,等到业障显现坏事发生之后才开始修行。深深感恩所有在我那段时间陪伴过我的人,尤其是我家人和朋友,在我最艰难的时刻,可以为我支持的人。深深感恩吉隆坡心灵法门共修会的师兄师姐们。他们耐心引导我进入心灵法门。
深深感恩我们大慈大悲的卢军宏台长创办了心灵法门,指引我们一条离苦得乐的道路。最后也是最重要的,深深感恩南无大慈大悲救苦救难广大灵感观世音菩萨,以她的佛光加持了我们每一个人,指引我们回到正确的学佛之道,随时随地都在庇佑着我们。感恩南无大慈大悲救苦救难广大灵感观世音菩萨!
如果整理过程中有不如理不如法之处,还请观世音菩萨护法神菩萨慈悲原谅!

2024.05.14 12:53 Low-Platypus-8051 I screwed up big time. I cheated.

I’m sorry for the length. I don’t know which subreddit would be appropriate for this.
I’m M/28 and I spent my early 20s recklessly trying to pick up women. I would hit up women I knew, friends of friends, old HS friends just trying to pick them up. Fake a friendship to fuck. Idk why but im almost always horny. Ive numbed my life with weed for past decade. I’ve been a terrible boyfriend and friend.
At 20 I went on a date with a girl F/18. It was a bad date and later we talked and laughed a little so I told her I liked her. She said she liked me too but she had to go. I asked if I could get a kiss goodbye and she said sorry have to go to. I should’ve just left but I pretty much begged and kissed her on the cheek goodbye. I would occasionally message her afterwards and we would have little conversations but nothing else. I kept this up for like 4 years hoping something could happen despite her telling me she wasn’t interested. It was so selfish of me to just disregard that. Why the fuck wasn’t this processing then.
At 20, I had a thing with a girl F/19 who I was in love with. I wanted to marry her and I’ve known her for years at that point. Everything was fine and normal but I never made a move. When an opportunity for real love and sex that I wanted so bad was on the table, I folded with fear. I made it awkward by getting silent and just low energy. Very boring person. However I had it stuck in my head that we still liked each other. We were sitting in a car after talking for an hour and I put my hand on her thigh and she jumped and said oh no where I took my hand away and asked should I drive you home and she said yes. I drove her home and dropped her off. We were cordial after but never the same. Stopped talking to her at 25 of pretty much one way conversations couple times a year
At 22, I got lucky enough to get a girlfriend F/19. I actually currently date her today. This is where I feel worst because I’ve had another serious gf during my teens where i was so dependent and into her that after 3 years at the age of 18 she dumped me. We stopped talking at 20 and never communicated since. that relationship felt raw and really emotional. My current relationship feels more mature. We talk problems out and genuinely help each other build. I am breaking all this by being a fucking sleaze bag. I have cheated on her twice with meaningless relationships at 23 and 25. I completely used those women for sex and I wasted their time. They never knew of each other and relationship usually ended by me being distant. Those relationships lasted month.
Ever since the last cheating at 25, I haven’t done anything but damage is done. Even at 23 I was an idiot and screenshotted a photo of an acquaintance because it was scandalous pic. My old friends have that screenshot notification. I constantly make these horrible decisions and although 26 and 27 have been more mature, I’ve done so much stupid shit in my early 20s that I don’t how I could ever redeem myself or right my wrongs or just feel good about myself again.
My first step has to be to come clean to my girlfriend and let her make the decision if she wants to be with me or not. I have no idea what to say. I’m fucking scared, I’m a bitch but I can’t ruin her life by being with me.
Is it ever possible to feel good about myself again? I have two groups of friends, one is close still and the other has rejected me completely because of my behavior. I actually used to be in a team with them. Some of us would make music together. They have thrown subtle shots for couple years about releasing music about me. I’m fearful they want to publicly shame me. Post that screenshot notification on Instagram. Although I’m a mess, I wouldn’t call myself a predator. I fear they’ll call me this or worse on Instagram with my family and friends there. I can’t even act like I don’t deserve it. But I don’t want my life to be ruined
If you read all of that, what should I do?

2024.05.14 12:51 Yoga_Fra Help finding a manga about youkais!

Hi guys, I need help to find a manga about youkai fighting that I came across years ago please!
It was set up in the past (Edo period?) and centered on the fight between the main protagonist and youkais that appear periodically through portals or something like that (I don't remember exactly). The protagonist's family were merchants and they were all murdered by one youkai, the protagonist (Jin, if I remember correctly) is the only survivor. Jin is a young boy (12ish) with dark hair and eyes, dressed in black, with a calm and collected demeanor. During the night of the attack he's left severely injured and he's about to die, but manages to form a contract with a youkai happening to linger at the scene: it heals his injuries and lives inside his body, developing a symbiotic relationship. This youkai survives only if it manages to eat other youkais, thus forcing Jin to fight them constantly. The two don't have an amicable relationship and the youkai constantly reminds Jin that it's the one in power: whenever it wants it can withdraw its healing power and reopen Jin's ancient wounds.
In the main cast we find a girl and his boss, working as a special force against youkais in defense of the city. The girl comes to know Jin's story and visits him once, bringing him treats. Jin claims that since his body has been shared with the youkai he no longer needs to eat, but he often sleeps during the day, as the youkai possessing him cannot sustain sunlight.
Early in the story Jin is confronted by another orphaned young guy (don't remember the name) with long red hair and a wild personality, which was adopted and then abandoned by a gang of robbers. As he despises humans, he "joins sides" with youkais, dressing up and acting as such. After fighting with Jin (that initially mistook him for a real youkai), the red-haired boy re-encounters the gang boss that tries to kill him. The boy manages to kill the gang boss but suffers severe injuries and is taken care of by Jin, as they finally manage to find some kind of agreement, becoming allies.
This is a summary of the first 8ish chapters and, unfortunately, this manga had not been completely translated at the time I was reading it. AFAIK it had not been cancelled, but it simply did not gain so much attention to be completely translated.
Thanks for your help! :*

2024.05.14 12:51 Throw4away477 30 [M4F] Italy/Anywhere Looking for my player 2

I am not giving up just yet, I know you are out there and wherever you are, I really hope this reaches you. There were times, when I was younger, where I used to cry myself to sleep pretty often, I've always felt lonely, insecure, like I am not good enough, not cute enough or smart or funny like everybody else. That shit hurt back then and made me even more reserved and insecure. I also dreamed about something real, authentic yet simple and genuine. I don't cry anymore, it's very rare. I am starting to worry about the fact that I am accepting it...and it's scary ngl. I still hope to find someone I can be myself with; someone I can rely on for emotional support; someone who can be patient and kind; who can be my best friend; whom I can trust fully; whom I can be proud of for their successes; who loves a lot of cuddles and being bothered a little; who doesn't mind someone who is a bit clingy; who will force me to do stuff when I lack the motivation to; who will laugh at my stupid jokes; who will go on adventures with me; who will smile at me when I am sad knowing that their smile melts me all the time; who is not afraid to tell me what she thinks; whom I can have conversations about all kind of topics; who is not afraid to be themselves. I could go on lol
Let's talk a little about me starting with a physical description. I am 174 cm tall ( 5'8''), white skin, black hair and brown eyes. I workout at the gym regularly and I eat healthy.
I am nerdy and I like videogames: I am a sucker for souls games, bg3, the witcher, read dead redemption 2, ff, metal gear, nier automata, indie games etc... Mostly single player but I played a lot of overwatch in the past. Recently I started playing Civilization VI ( very new to the game) and fell in love with the main soundtrack which is entirely in italian and inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci and his "dream of flight" (literal name of the song). Which...reminds me of someone who also dreams about something that seems impossible...😂🥺
I love animals (I have a dog), nature, I am usually a homebody and an introvert but I wouldn't mind doing outdoors activities with the right company. I watched a few anime, old movies and tv shows; always open to recommendations :) I am calm, patient, a bit awkward and I literally can't lie because you can always tell when I am or I am just too stupid to make up a good lie 😅 I am not big into politics or religion but I am left leaning and an atheist.
As for you: just be yourself! But please, write something about yourself if you decide to reach out...for some reason lol

2024.05.14 12:49 PureXN Just moved into unit and roach infestation

Hey there, my partner and I just moved into a new apartment in Las Vegas and we’re on Day 3 and we spotted a roach during the day then we spotted 8 roaches before sleeping. I’ve been trying to look up the rights I can exercise, but I’m met with mixed messages. I’m completely enraged and want to figure out what should I say tomorrow to the office? Do I ask for a new unit or how do I approach this? I’m new to renting so I’m very overwhelmed.

2024.05.14 12:49 temmiesayshoi Best way to automate firejail sandboxing lutris prefixes? (non-firejail options possible)

I'm not doing any reverse engineering work on malware samples or anything but I tend to create more prefixes as a default and, knowing that windows software can be janky at the best of times, I don't really trust it to work well in wine. For instance I was trying to run Assassin's Creed Black Flag and, while it worked, it caused a weird issue with my headset that I've also seen Helldivers 2 cause. Everytime it launched it would lose connection, instantly gain connection, switch to a low quality codec, then switch back to a high quality codec again. (sometimes helldivers gets that last part wrong and it causes the codec to just stay borked. Thankfully on linux this can be fixed by disconnecting and reconnecting it but on windows not so lucky; you have to unpair and repair the device.)
Plus, even if I'm not actively reverse engineering malware or anything, it is still nice to have an extra layer of protection so to speak. Technically wine doesn't protect you from malware and it will still happily run things like wannacry, but most common malware will be trying to extract cookies from windows directories or do other badness that can't be done in a wine prefix unless they've explicitly written it to do so. I also installed lutris in a flatpak and limited it's filesystem permissions to only my game directory and a few extra readonly permissions so that it could see my theme files and such. (to mitigate exactly that sort of indiscriminant malware from hitting the majority of my system) Unfortunately I've looked through flatseal and I can't see any obvious way of fixing that weird issue with bluetooth headsets, meaning it can still directly access at least some hardware that it reaaaaally has no reason to. (I mean just giving it a few virtual audio devices that have their audio passed through to the actual audio devices on the computer would solve this problem and, at least in the context of normal Wine usecases, I really can't see any reason it'd need direct access to bluetooth peripherals like that)
I've looked into using something like firejail in the past for more options for isolation but I couldn't figure any way to automate it. Ideally I'd want to just have a low set of permissions granted by-default for each game/application so that it can only see inside of it's specific prefix and nowhere else, can't access hardware devices like headsets directly, etc. and then only loosen them if actually needed by the application, but I looked before and couldn't see any obvious way of doing th, at least not one that didn't make it more of a pain to manage and create new prefixes but after facing that bluetooth bug I started looking into it again and I was curious if there was a better way of going about things that I just couldn't find before. ( I don't have very much experience with firejail at all, I've used it a handful of times but that's about it )

    • In speed form, the maximum speed and hover height will be increased, and the vehicle gains a "collision acceleration" ability: it will not slow down when it hits an obstacle. Instead, it will accelerate using the stored magnetic energy.
    • In magnetic form, the maximum speed and hover height will be reduced, but it can activate a "Magnetize" ability to grab and toss characters, vehicles, and specific objects.
  • Armamech: A four-seater vehicle combined from a Levitron and a Strider. It can also be directly summoned from the Steel Ark.
    • It possesses 2 weapons that it can freely switch between: the Strider's missiles, and the Levitron's "Magnetize" ability.
    • It has a boosted jump that enables it to leap high and far with the assistance of jets.
    • Bring a Levitron and a Strider close together to combine them. After combining, the pilot of the Levitron becomes the pilot of the Armamech. It can also be separated at any time.

Brand New Environments

  • Steel Ark:
    • A giant space battleship that will land on the map at the start of a match. You can enter it and explore inside. The core of the Steel Ark is a platform where you can summon the Armamech from the skies! You can launch yourself into the air in this mecha for everyone to see.
    • The ark consists of many areas. You can find all kinds of supplies and Supply Crates at the Command Post, Dormitory, Warehouse, and more.
    • From the landing pad, you can board an evacuation Wingman, which will take you straight to the Playzone!
    • You can use elevators and ziplines in the ark to get around.
    • Steel Ark Air Drop: A Steel Ark loaded with supplies will fly around during the match and drop supplies consisting of an Air Drop Crate and several Supply Crates at specific drop points.
  • Assembly Base:
    • The Assembly Base contains a Mecha Repair Station. Approach it in a mecha to replenish the mecha's health, fuel, and missiles.
    • On the top floor of the Assembly Base, there is a detector that can determine the location of crates within the Assembly Base. An Access Card can be found in one of the crates, which can be used to open the door to the Secret Room and get loads of supplies.

New Items

  • Jetpack: Pick it up and equip it to increase movement speed. It possesses the ability to hover in the air for a short duration. It consumes Energy rapidly when lifting off.

2024.05.14 12:45 sobakablack PROTONS ARE RAINING DOWN ON EARTH: Spaceweather.com

From https://spaceweather.com/
PROTONS ARE RAINING DOWN ON EARTH: Giant sunspot AR3664 is no longer facing Earth. That makes it extra dangerous. Right now, the Carrington-class sunspot is passing over the sun's western limb--a region of the sun that is magnetically connected to our planet. Indeed, we are feeling the effects of that connection; take a look at this map of ongoing radio blackouts.
Head to website for full imagery: https://spaceweather.com/
Red zones in the map show where shortwave radio signals are being absorbed. Frequencies below 20 MHz are almost completely blacked out, a nuisance for long-distance aviators and ham radio operators.
What's causing this? Protons accelerated by solar flares in the magnetic canopy of AR3664 are following the Parker Spiral back to Earth. Think of it as a magnetic superhighway. Arriving particles are funneled by our planet's magnetic field toward the poles where they ionize the atmosphere and interfere with the transmission of shortwave radio signals.
This polar cap absorption event could last for days, especially if it is boosted by more flares from AR3664. You can can monitor its progress here.
Head to the website for full details. Thanks Dr. Tony Phillips.

2024.05.14 12:45 42rodents How to improve speaking and writing skills (when listening and reading comprehension are already high)?

I live in the US and work at a German-speaking company, so German is my main language for 40 hours per week. There are a few americans like me but most are either German citizens or dual citizens.
I am at the mid level management and work every closely with regional management so we discuss a variety of important topics regularly. There are very few moments I don’t understand something in German, and usually that happens at lunch when people are speaking more casually and about something niche. So my listening and reading is at a very high level.
The problem is I express myself poorly. Some of it is a “me” problem, not a language problem (I often trip over my words in English—my brother calls it my “verbal dyslexia”) but some of it is just when I go to speak I can’t recall the right words on the spot, or it is so difficult to determine the right case while speaking) and it really limits how I express myself. Although my speaking is enough for me to “get-by” at my job, it’s nothing I’m proud of. My writing is definitely better than speaking but I would also like to be able to write a little quicker than I do now.
I’ve been working here for 2 years and I just assumed that the immersion would be enough to sharpen my skills, but I’m worried it’s not. I’ve probably progressed more in the past two years than I realize, but I still feel uncomfortable with it.
TLDR: Are there any recommendations to improving speaking and writing skills when reading and listening comprehension is high? 40 h week immersion doesn’t seem to be enough to make the progress I want

2024.05.14 12:43 CurzedRocks33 Help, dermatica tret and oily skin

So I was given my dermatica formula which is:
Tretinoin 0.05%/ Niacinamide 4%/ Clindamycin 1% Lotion
This is my 4th week of using and I use every other night. My skin seems to handle the tret well, slight peeling but only noticeable with makeup on. I immediately noticed an improvement in acne, i tend to break out around my chin and jawline and everything cleared up in the first week, I didn’t have one active spot on my face, then at week 3 things changed, I’m slightly breaking out in places I didn’t even get acne before like my cheeks and neck but it’s not too bad and makeup covers it so I’m not too bothered about that it’s more that my skin texture is awful, it’s gone super oily with larger pores and I don’t know if it’s the formula or if it’s the other products I’m using alongside it.
My skin is oily with occasional hormonal breakouts.
My routine is: Am The inkey list salyclic acid cleanser, 20% niaciamide, omega water cream moisturiser. Same for PM on non tret nights but on tret nights I just use tret and the moisturiser.
I exfoliate once a week on a non tret night to try combat the peeling.
Is there something I’m doing wrong? I just want nice skin 😞 I feel like it was easier to deal with the breakouts than this oilyness.
