Giving of a Question+Answer Software (Q&A) toward the Sangha

[Johann]

    


Venerable Members of the Sangha,
Venerable Theras,
Venerable fellows,

Seeing that it might be of very helpful use for many communities, my person approached the developers of Q2A, as having come across and thought to even remorseless use.

 

May the Venerables make given, proper, and remorseless use of the generosity of the developers, headed by master Gideon Greenspan, out of compassion for the doner and for the welfare of many.

A second... a third...for the welfare of many.

Good team of Q2A,

first of all may my uninvited approach be pardoned in case it would arrive
not welcome.

Maybe a not usual question, but releasing from doubt: Would it be welcome
and a matter of certain joy if Buddhist M9nks would make use of your
generous shared developments for non-commercial, of course, and harmless
purpose? It would be also the case that nothing in worldly spheres could be
expected as reward for making use of given.

Please, may the question do not cause any burden in every case.

Independent of that: may all your good undertakings always bear their
fruits quick and traceable so that faith in good deeds soon increase to
it's fullness.

Samana,

Thank you for your kind message.

First, please know you do not need our permission to use Q2A for your
website, since the license makes this permission open to anybody.

Nonetheless, as the original developer of Q2A, I give my blessing for the
platform to be used among Buddhist monks, to promote the well-being and
spiritual development of yourselves and others.

As you well know, we are all one and the same.

Best wishes,

Gideon

Sadhu, Sadhu (Excellent, Excellent; approve of skilful deeds), good Master Gideon.

Let my person give a 'blessing', encouragement/appreciation, something as a secure refuge when ever wishing to reflect:

- Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa -

Bhuttā bhogā bhaṭā bhaccā    Vitiṇṇā āpadāsu me Uddhaggā dakkhiṇā dinnā    Atho pañca balī katā Upaṭṭhitā sīlavanto    Saññatā brahmacārino Yadatthaṃ bhogam-iccheyya    Paṇḍito gharam-āvasaṃ So me attho anuppatto    Kataṃ ananutāpiyaṃ Etaṃ anussaraṃ macco    Ariya-dhamme ṭhito naro Idheva naṃ pasaṃsanti    Pecca sagge pamodatīti.

"My wealth has been enjoyed,
My dependents supported,    
protected from calamities by me.
I have given lofty offerings,    
and performed the five oblations.
I have provided for the virtuous,    
the restrained, leaders of the holy life.
For whatever aim a wise householder    
would desire wealth,    
that aim I have attained.
I have done what will not lead to future distress."
When this is recollected by a mortal,    
a person established in the Dhamma of the Noble Ones,
He is praised in this life    and, after death, rejoices in heaven.

(For info and to rejoice on own quick-witness and wisdom: Monk, if serious in keeping 'taking only given', if informed, are now able to (what is called) "take on trust", requiring that the owner personaly told to take, the owner is a known, he is happy about the use and still alive. Otherwise taken could cause even downfall transgression. Good also to consider that they, if serious, have left society, do no more take part an live only on given. Even to take something in the wild, in the forest, would be not proper for one living on alms of the land.)
