PRACTICAL POSITIVITY AND DUTY OF CARE OF BKs
• With all positive intentions, we donated one house for spreading POSITIVITY in the world. Now we are fighting for it to take back. The details I can’t tell you on this forum as it may spoil your faith
• I know two Brothers who were donating all their salary, to the BK centre of course living there, and one suffered with jaundice and left alone, no care, no support from the spiritual family, the other one lost his job and could not sustain living with them in the centre, and due to over age went back to his lokiks.
There are so many small events testing our positivity. But alas, the teachers themselves are spreading and programming negativity in the intellects.
Almost missed this.
First point. Well if you give your house away to an organisation and change your mind some time later, it's pretty awkward. What if I gave all my wealth to Royal North Shore Hospital today? Then next year I say "sorry, all a mistake"? Awkward position.
Yes I know it's different. BKs encourage that surrender and donation. If it was up to me, I'd give it back. You get the point I am making though, right? Upshot: never give your house away unless you are 100% OK with never getting it back.
No, I do not believe anyone should be pressured to do it. If BKs somewhere are pressuring that, they are doing something extremely wrong. It must be genuine personal choice not coersion.
Second point: is this really true? My God, that would be incredibly unjust but I find it hard to believe that someone living in a centre is unsupported in an illness. They are practising BKs yeah? You sure about this? Can you post any facts without giving names? (It's not right to post personal names on the faceless internet I think.)
It just doesn't add up. No BK I know has had this happen. I know I live in this country and have a limited experience, but BKs in centres are definitely supported if they get sick.
