i was up early today as i couldn't sleep. did all sorts of things like cleaning my fish tank, mopping the floor, feeding my dog, surfing the net etc... and i came across this blog - on dhamma musings by bhante shravasti dhammika. in this particular blog, he mused about buddhism and homosexuality. he wrote about his thoughts on the subject and shared his experience about a young lad's search for answers on this subject. he spoke of his pains when he found out about this lad's eventual sucide after possibly listening to a particular venerable who had so carelessly given an quick and irresponsible answer to him.
i felt so strongly that i should link it here as a way to share with people who read my blog. the bhante's writings touched me. it gave me a deep sense of peace and assurance that my views and understanding of buddhism and homosexuality has been in line with what the bhante had written. it cleared my doubts. and after reading the blog, i couldn't find any words of phrases that could appropriate capture my gratitude to the bhante other than "thank you".
i hope you feel the same too.
