Hello! Wisdom without attachment is the Buddhist name our Japaneses Jodo Shinshu minister gave me when I first started attending our Hondo/Sangha. I guess it fits! Looking for the love of my life who is spiritual, open and whose companionship is fun to be with. In "the 8 Rules of Love" , the author , an ex-monk, thinks that you can know whether you both have the 3 requisites: personality, values, and life goals in 3 dates!. A man who can laugh at himself is fantastic!! I've learned attraction can't really be determined accurately online as we don't really look like our photos although I've been told I'm better in person. I've met both: better looking in person and not as good as his photo. So let's meet to see if we like each others personality and see if we can share/support each others life goals. I'm hoping this website already pre-screens for same values!! |
