I don't remember if there is a way now for members to change their own names. We might have disabled it, because it became very confusing when some members changed their name often at the same time as they changed their avatars so others didn't recognize them. It all got a bit trolly if I'm not mistaken.

I've changed your display name. Your login is the same as before.

A man sees the rope in the twilight he mistakenly apprehends a snake and develops fear. To remove this fear he must remove the mind apprehending a snake by realizing that there is no snake. Even then, if the rope is left in the same place there is a danger that the same mistake will be made in the future. The only way to remove this danger is to remove the rope. Similarly, sentient beings observing their aggregates in the darkness of their ignorance mistakenly apprehend an inherently existent I. This mind grasping at an inherently existent I is the root of samsara and the source of all fear. To remove the fears of samsara we must remove this mind by realizing that there is no inherently existent I.

Just so theres some sense of why I changed my username from BlueBuddha to Marcus Epicurus...

My "real" first name is Mark
Epicurus was a Greek Philosopher, and I like his way of thinking

Marcus sounds Greek...so Marcus Epicurus

and yes my new avatar image is actually me...with some blue coloring added via Paint Shop Pro

Thanks for the help Su Dongpo

Su Dongpo, are you new to FS or a reincarnation?  It would be good to know.
