Buddhism is simple, and direct. The language that you are using is not. In my opinion, "right speech" would be a good place to start.

OK

Right speech means your criticism doesn't insult, your intellectualization doesn't consume & your honesty doesn't waver. Next?

See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. In my opinion, this kind of language isn't simple or direct. I honestly don't know what you're trying to say.

I prary for your guidance.

I prary for your guidance.

Are you saying that you want my guidance? If so, then here is my sincere advice: Speak (or write) using language that is simpler and more direct. That's Zen.

I would also recommend that you read my teacher's wonderful book, The Complete Book of Zen. I own dozens of books on Buddhism, but I would trade them all for this one book. It's a gem.

I wash my hands from you.

No I do not pray for your guidance human I pray to the Creator alone! How dare you insult my deen? For your own sake I asked that my Creator guide you to understand that you don't insult people and call it right speech! For that matter, modern Buddhism has no lack of increasingly corrupt hypocrisy: I posit this school counts as none other than sheer indulgence in innovation & the Sharia law of Malaysia ought to go ahead and execute every last one of you. L laha wa barakatuhu! LA ILAHA ILALLAH! Do not contact me or I shall ask my creator to return your blatant harassment!

Ah. I understand now.

Banned.
