Hi Amym73, Sounds amazing where you live I decided to take the site down after Elder Ballard visited our area and gave a talk. He warned that our congregation would soon have a problem with false doctrines, and to keep the gospel simple. So I decided to stay away from creative or potentially controversial applications of the gosepl, lest I be perceived as a false prophet or troublemaker. I still meditate daily etc. I just keep it to myself now. P.S. Elder Ballard gave a great talk and left no question in my mind that he is an Apostle of the Lord. It was a much needed experience because my faith had been waning a bit.

@NightSG I worked night shift for eight years, so I can definitely relate.

@NightSG I'm sure it's possible though.

@NightSG That's a remarkable feat if you can eat one meal before noon, be active all day and still gain weight Buddha ate mostly rice, barely, and foods made from wheat and other grains. He also counselled his monks to use moderation at the table.

@tesuji So you picked up on the "Buddhist" references in Uctdorf's talks too? I was beginning to think it was my imagination @NightSG I think you have the Buddha mixed up with Budai, the future buddha: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budai. Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha most people think of) was likely very lean. He only ate one meal a day, before noon.Later in his life he had a digestive disorder which made eating even one meal uncomfortable. Also, Buddha lived until 80 years of age, and was highly active (doing good for others). This would also suggest he was fit. @MormonGator I have't tried yoga yet, although I've been eyeing it lately.

Hi everyone, I'm Jason and I have many hobbies and interests. I'm a self-employed conceptual designer and a faithful LDS member. Along with daily scripture study, I also practice Zazen and read koans. I recently made a website for Mormon Koans, which I may link to in the future. I'm not here to promote anything but the Restored Gospel though, and to learn from others. Thanks for reading!
