“Although the teacher, through the three dimensions of his existence, taught about reality in various ways, those teachings were indirect and provisional.” – Longchenpa

Buddha's teachings about suffering and The Middle Way are indirect and provisional.

There's no such word in English, but the Germans have this word:

"Backpfeifengesicht"

It means, "a face that is in need of a punch." 🥊

Ya awful. I saw a doco a long time ago, not sure of its accuracy and just had a quick scan of WIKI_P on the scandal - from the doco, the atomic arrangement was correct originally and ok, but the main batches made had the arrangement skewed where a connection of part of the compound was 'left' instead of 'right' - something like that. On reading the main article on WIKI_P about the drug, it seems it was more to do with the stage of pregnancy that women were taking the drug - no mention of the bollox I just wrote.

I'm certain the Jews heard that far too often.

Tactile funk and under certain conditions for one reason or another, tactical funk.
