| Apr 8, 2021 at 18:17 | comment | added | user8527 | @Neuromax I am familiar with the story of Ven. Subha poking out her eye, an answer would be good. | |
| Apr 8, 2021 at 17:13 | comment | added | ChrisW♦ | This story of a Zen nun -- itstheliar.wordpress.com/2020/09/17/love-openly -- is slightly similar ("She even bruised her face with a hot poker so as to diminish her beauty"). And ashidakim.com/zenkoans/6noloving-kindness.html from the same collection. "Intimidation" though -- there are are all those stories featuring Mara. And I guess a homeless monk might walk away himself, and so needn't chase away. | |
| Apr 8, 2021 at 16:48 | comment | added | user17652 | I recall reading a section in Thanissaro Bhikkhu's book The Buddha Smiles, in which a monk sought out a nun in the forest. He was delirious with sensual passion for her. The nun remedied the situation through a compassionate understanding, pulled out her eyeball and gave it to him, which drained away his desires. Not sure if that's close enough. I think the Buddha was involved in the story and that it was more of a symbolic gesture to paṭikkūlamanasikāra. I can provide an answer it appeals to you? | |
| Apr 8, 2021 at 14:58 | comment | added | user8527 | There is a place where the Buddha says that one ought not leave a person who is beneficial to one's training even if being chased away with a stick but i am interested in how to deal with a person who is ought to be chased away with a stick basically. | |
| Apr 8, 2021 at 14:53 | comment | added | user8527 | I am thinking more of people obsessively bothering others thinking they have some sort of relstionship or seeking to have a relationship. The Buddha says there is no fellowship with fools but what if a fool is not letting it go and is using intimidation & is acting crazy. | |
