Transitional Update: Pannobhasa Samanera
(A quick and sloppy video from a hotel room in New Orleans, telling how I got here, barely. Please excuse the razor burn etc. on my face but it's part of the purifying ordeal.)

Hell Pannobhasa Samanera!
Venerable Samanera, a question for you!
Is offending someone a violation of wrong speech? If one makes a joke or a criticism and another becomes offended does this entail kammic demerit? Did the Buddha ever deal with difficult/over sensitive people? I seem to have a habit of testing people with inflated egos, challenging them and trying to deflate their grandeur.
That's a good question, and a relatively easy one to answer, so if you don't mind I will answer it in the next Q&A, maybe a week from now? (Less if I get my ass in gear after this huge transition. At this moment I'm on a train stopped at Clemson SC, less than an hour from my final destination.)
Do you plan to grow your hair out?
