Karma Tashi Ling buddhistsamfunn
Vi oppfordrer alle buddhister og buddhistvenner som føler at de sogner til Karma Tashi Ling, om å melde seg inn i Buddhistforbundet, med tilhørighet Karma Tashi Ling buddhistsamfunn.
Medlemskap i Buddhistforbundet / Karma Tashi Ling buddhistsamfunn (KTLBS) er gratis.
Karma Tashi Ling buddhistsamfunn samarbeider med seks andre buddhistiske organisasjoner og grupperinger i Buddhistforbundet (BF), som er Norges nest største ikke-kristne trossamfunn, med vel 6000 medlemmer. For mer informasjon, se brosjyren Buddhismen i Norge.
OBS! Medlemskap i Karma Tashi Ling buddhistsamfunn er ikke det samme som støttemedlemskap i Karma Tashi Ling buddhistsenter. Det er to forskjellige forhold.
Se brosjyren: Hvordan kan du holde deg informert om Karma Tashi Lings aktiviteter, kurs, lamabesøk og andre aktiviteter.... for mer informasjon om støttemedlemskap. Vi oppfordrer deg til å gjøre begge deler!
For deg innebærer medlemskap i BF / Karma Tashi Ling buddhistsamfunn følgende fordeler:
* Du tilbys buddhistiske livssiter
* Du holdes informert om og inviteres til Buddhistforbundets arrangementer
* BF taler din sak overfor myndigheter, skolevesen i livssynssaker etc.
* Du får tilsendt BFs informasjonsbrosjyre ved hver ny revisjon.
* Du får stemmerett på årsmøtet og blir også valgbar - om du ønsker - til Karma Tashi Lings styre (dersom du også tegner støttemedlemskap). Se egen brosjyre.
* Og, som nevnt - det er fullstendig gratis
Ditt medlemskap innebærer følgende fordeler for Karma Tashi Ling:
* Årlige inntekter. Karma Tashi Ling mottar ca. kr. 300,- i gjennomsnitt pr. medlem pr. år fra stat og kommune, den såkalte kirkeskatten. Husk at denne skatten tilfaller statskirken også selvom du er utmeldt der, men ikke er innmeldt et annet tros- eller livssynssamfunn.
* Sikrere og raskere gjennomføring av planer og prosjekter, som bygging av stupa, utbygginger, nye sentre etc.
Jo flere medlemmer, jo sterkere stemme får buddhismen i Norge i religionspolitiske spørsmål, f.eks. i saker som religionsundervisning i skolen, påvirkning på lærebøker etc
Betingelser:
* Norsk lov krever at man bare kan være medlem av ett tros- eller livssynssamfunn. Du må derfor være utmeldt av f.eks. statskirken først (skjema til dette kan du få fra Karma Tashi Ling). Slik utmelding er ikke nødvendig for dem som er født utenfor Norge, med mindre man aktivt har meldt seg inn i et annet tros- eller livssynssamfunn etter at man kom til Norge.
* Du må ha bopel i Norge.
* Alle, både voksne og barn, kan meldes inn i KTLBS. For barn under 15 år, trengs underskrift fra foresatte.
* Medlemskapet løper til skriftlig utmelding foreligger.
* Du må gi skriftlig melding til Karma Tashi Ling buddhistsamfunn ved flytting.

Støttemedlemskap
Støttemedlemskap i Karma Tashi Ling buddhistsenter gir mange fordeler, ved siden av å støtte senteret. Du får brev med nyheter, rabatter ved arrangementer, hjemlån fra biblioteket. Skal du delta på hele eller store deler av kurset, vil du faktisk spare penger på å tegne støttemedlemskap. Støttemedlemskapet koster kr. 300,- pr. år. De som bor på samme adresse som en som har betalt full pris, betaler kr. 150,- i støttemedlemskap. Da mottar en ikke post . De som blir støttemedlem for første gang, etter 1. juli, betaler kun for et halvt år, kr. 150,-. Du kan sende inn kontingenten pr. postgiro: 0801 23 08427. Husk å merke blanketten med formålet med innbetalingen.

In Buddhist teaching, the law of karma, says only this: `for every event that occurs, there will follow another event whose existence was caused by the first, and this second event will be pleasant or unpleasant according as its cause was skillful or unskillful.' A skillful event is one that is not accompanied by craving, resistance or delusions; an unskillful event is one that is accompanied by any one of those things. (Events are not skillful in themselves, but are so called only in virtue of the mental events that occur with them.)
Therefore, the law of Karma teaches that responsibility for unskillful actions is born by the person who commits them.
Let's take an example of a sequence of events. An unpleasant sensation occurs. A thought arises that the source of the unpleasantness was a person. (This thought is a delusion; any decisions based upon it will therefore be unskillful.) A thought arises that some past sensations of unpleasantness issued from this same person. (This thought is a further delusion.) This is followed by a willful decision to speak words that will produce an unpleasant sensation in that which is perceived as a person. (This decision is an act of hostility. Of all the events described so far, only this is called a karma.) Words are carefully chosen in the hopes that when heard they will cause pain. The words are pronounced aloud. (This is the execution of the decision to be hostile. It may also be classed as a kind of karma, although technically it is an after-karma.) There is a visual sensation of a furrowed brow and downturned mouth. The thought arises that the other person's face is frowning. The thought arises that the other person's feelings were hurt. There is a fleeting joyful feeling of success in knowing that one has scored a damaging verbal blow. Eventually (perhaps much later) there is an unpleasant sensation of regret, perhaps taking the form of a sensation of fear that the perceived enemy may retaliate, or perhaps taking the form of remorse on having acted impetuously, like an immature child, and hping that no one will remember this childish action. (This regret or fear is the unpleasant ripening of the karma, the unskillful decision to inflict pain through words.)
If there are no persons at all, then there is no self and no other. There is no distinction between pain of which there is direct sensual awareness (which is conventionally called one's own pain) and pain that is known through inference (conventionally called another person's pain). Whether pain is known directly or indirectly, there is either an urge to quell it or an urge to cultivate it. Whether joy is known directly or indirectly, there is either an urge to nourish it or to quell it. In the conventional language of speaking of events personally, the urge to quell all pain and to nourish all joy is known as being ethical or skillful or (if you like) good. The urge to nourish pain and quell joy is known as being unskillful, unethical or bad.
Being fully ethical is said to be impossible for those who make a distinction between self and other and show preference for the perceived self over the perceived other, for such perceptions inhibit being fully responsive. Being fully ethical is possible only for those who realize that all persons are empty, that is, devoid of personhood.
1. Reverse Polarity. This can happen to the smartest guys and the biggest shops. I even did it. It is a very easy problem to diagnose since the LED will not go on and the heat will stay full on even with the switch turned off.
You can do a visual check. simply go to the plus post of the battery and take the wire from the battery harness in your hand. Run your hand up the wire and see that the fuse holder is attached to that wire. If not then you have the harness on backwards. If you have the fuse holder there, then continue up to the plug on the end of the harness and make sure that the side of the plug that is covered is attached to the wire you have been following. Some times these connectors can be put on wrong.
If you are using a BMW plug and you did not get it from us then you should test it to see if that has been wired correctly. The ones we make are filled with hot glue so there is no way to look inside to see how it is wired. You need a meter that will tell you continuity. the easiest ones to use will make a noise when there is continuity. Simply put one probe on the center tipof the BMW plug and one probe on the covered side of the SAE connector at the end of the cable. It should be where you plug the Heat-troller into the adapter. It should show continuity, these two points are attached. You should also test to make sure that if you have an after market BMW socket installed that it also has the polarity correct. Set your meter on Volts DC and using the red probe in the center of the socket, touch the ground probe to the interior side of the socket. it should show a 12 to 14 volts. if it shows a minus number then the socket is not wired up correctly.
2. Short in the Clothing. A short in the clothing can be caused by a number of things and it is usually seen in the gloves or socks where the connector wire and the resistance wire get a lot of stress. The sign in the past was for the Heat-troller to get very hot and show signs of melting. The fuse on the battery harness would sometimes blow. We now install a thermal fuse in the Heat-troller that will kill the unit if it encounters this problem or anything similar. The sign of this problem is that right before the Heat-troller dies, the clothing will go to full heat. Often people assume that the problem is in the Heat-troller and will get a replacement and at some point, it will happen again. Because the short is floating and depends on just when the wires touch, it can be months between episodes. In one case a customer had a short in one of four socks. He would kill the Heat-troller when he just happened to pick that one sock to wear.
Testing for a shorted thermal fuse is easy if you have a meter. Set for continuity test, put one probe in the covered side of the white banded Power Out connector and one in the uncovered side of the red banded Power In connector. If the internal sue is good then you will have continuity. If you do not then the fuse has died and you should do a quick check of the clothing. Although, i have to warn you that unless you get the wires just right, they may not show the short. Set the meter to check for resistance. Put one probe in one side of the connector to the clothing and the other probe in the other side. Below is a list of what it should show, more or less. If you get a zero then you have a short.
Gloves: 9.8 each
Pants: 2.6
Jacket: 1.6
Socks: 9.7 each
Full suit (with socks):.8
Weird Problem 1. The Heat-troller is plugged into the battery harness correctly, the battery harness is connected to the battery correctly and the heated product gets warm but it cannot be controlled by the Heat-troller. Plus the heated clothing gets warm even with the controller turned off. The LED is lit all the time. The customer ran some tests himself and complained that the heat-troller unit was defective.
1. Some problems are easy to solve, others take time. Some we never solve. After going round and round with this one we were convinced that we had a problem that we had no solution for until the customer solved it himself. In all the times we talked to him he forgot to tell us one crucial piece of information. He wanted to test the drop of power between the battery and the heated liner he owns. He plugged a probe into the plus side of the glove connector at the end of the sleeve, and then plugged the other probe, the common side of the meter, to the battery. Exactly correct for making this type of test. However, he didn't tell us how he ran the test. If we had we would explain why the controller was coming on with this type of test. Remember, there is no way you can or would do this in real use of the products. He told me that the solution came to him as he lay in bed. Being that we are using DC power not AC, our Heat-troller, like all normal DC devices, switch power to the ground side. That means that if you stick a probe to the plus side of output and the other side to the battery, you have just completed the circuit. Or turned the Heat-troller on.
We had three customers with the same "problem" in one week. In each case none of them mentioned that they were using a test probe but because one customer was good enough to stay in touch and not feel embarrassed by his confusion, we were able to solve this problem for other customers. We had already built him a new unit to see if there was a problem in his but he declined and said there was nothing wrong with his. We still get people doing variations of this. The latest was due to grounding a BMW socket to the frame.
Weird Problem 2. When the Heat-troller is turned on, I find that my headlights strobe to the pulsing of the LED.
1. The cause and solution of the problem is simple. The cause is that you are trying to draw more power from your charging system than is available. There is two solutions. You can cut back demand to equal the ability for your charging system to keep up. Or you can request a new unit and trade in your old one plus $20. With the new unit the strobing will stop. You will get dimming of your headlights since you a still trying to draw more power than is being produced. Also the LED will not flash but will go from dim to bright.
Weird Problem 3. The Heat-troller stays on full even when turned off and the LED stays on dim or may flash when the Heat-troller is turned off.On the new Mounted Heat-troller, the board that holds the switch can get covered with road grime and soap to the point where, if it gets wet, there is enough resistance between the solder points of the wire going to the Heat-troller box that a connection is made. Solution is to take Radio Shack Color Tuner Cleaner or alcohol and a toothbrush and clean the solder side of the board really well. Then cover the solder points with either dielectric grease or nail polish.
Weird Problem 4. The knob turns too easily.
Is the rotation of the switch too light for your needs? Is it being bumped and turning too easily? We have a clean solution. Get an O-ring at your local hardware or plumbing store. Ask for a 2-201 size. Then remove the knob on your Heat-troller(TM). Push the O-ring on to the shaft. Replace the knob. The knob has a small indentation that the O-ring will sit in. As the shaft and knob turn, resistance comes from rubbing along the O-ring. How deep you place the knob on the shaft will can change the resistance, and change the ease in which the knob turns.
Weird Problem 5. The LED glows even though the switch is off and then clothes are unplugged.
This Problem showed up on the new Heat-troller 6. If the exposed pin of the white connector (the one that plugs into the jacket) makes even a poor connection to the bike frame, the LED will glow. The better the connection, the brighter the glow, but that doesn't indicate a problem with the controller. It will not cause much of a drain on the battery and will not damage the bike. Even water could act as a bridge between the connector and the frame.
