1. Does one human being need to follow a particular form of faith to be friendly? How does one proceed to heal emotional scars in such cases? I am only human and I say I do it to the extent of what I feel if put in such a situation. If I had to face the same situations in my personal life How would I expect to be treated or even for that matter be understood? But where does that leave the one who scratches and puts such scars? I even like to talk with grace to such likes, if they are human beings. I have only one thing to say and that is, you need to be forgiven from such crimes from my side, so at least that much guilt will be less on the day of The Great Judgement!!! Words of Grace heals human, emotional scars and I received that from my Lord Jesus Christ. I atleast need to tell the source, right so that those who desire might seek. Is that a crime in seeking Grace? If yes, then I think you are right in thinking that I have commited a great crime in not seeking revenge but rather clothing the criminals in grace. Does that let out a criminal? No, I only healed the emotional scar which the law of the land is unable to take care of. Where does that leave me? I forgive my abusers and oppressors and allow the law of the land to take its own course of action. What I mean is one can be forgiven from the act of sin /crime but must bear the concequences of such sinful act.
2. the first one. life is suffering. if a person doesn't believe it's true then there won't be a true motivation to end it. of course, you have to have the other 3 to explain why it is suffering and how to get out of it or you just fall into despair. i've done 7 ten day retreats and would say that experientially speaking the first was the best because i didn't know what i was getting into and it was a hellish nightmare both physically and mentally for me but i stuck it out and said i would never do another but evidently some change took place where i was willing to endure it several more times. i would quess that i have some really bad karma to work out(both personal difficulties and retreat difficulties,more than most) but according to Buddhist teachings ,if i hadn't have had some really good karma i wouldn't have come across the teaching or the practice.
