Yeah I have nothing really and even if I have any statues or whatever I wouldn't worship to them in anyway. I don't think worship will get me anywhere.
I've been unsure how to approach it, that does make more sense. I was thinking along the lines of there being a 3rd truth, "two but one more".
So how does it apply to things like good and evil?
I live in Tassie, The proposed pulp mill isn't desirable IMO, on the trees used to feed it no Old Growth is going to be used, although AFAIK there is nothing to guarantee that into the future. Tasmania is pretty backward politically, there seems to be no real plan for the state and the current...
Ah Oh he comes my non dualism problem again. As I see it atheism is like non dualism.
If we take -1, 0, 1 then lets make faith 1 and atheism 0, I'm not quite sure how to describe -1. Anyone able to help me here?
IMO only god can answer that and then only if...
1. God Exists
2. God is perfect
I'm betting you won't get an answer. I feel that if there is a god then what most people feel is gods nature would be far from fact. The most grounded and "good" people I've known who believe in god have a far...
Is non-dualism a part of your meditation/world view in regards to your Buddhist practice?
I ask because I confuse myself often with this. I asked myself when reading the thread about Koans, does a dog have buddha nature? Is there only two possible answers?
I'm struggling at the moment I...
You can see that anywhere I think, I've been reading posts by a guy on another forum, he is from Europe but in Sri Lanka, pretty much all his posts focus on the Buddhist "Hells". I really can't figure why he has a fixation on that, there definitely seems to be a lot of conflict with the non...
more discussion, we are getting more and more unreasonable now, to me what he is speaking of is incredibly shallow religion.
I am open to the posability of god but of course I had many questions. Even accepting a god exists your life is now reduced to a game where you must pick from a group of...
I must just say that the person I was chatting with is not the person who had the NDE.
It's quite obviously that this persons was merely attempting to scare people into "seeing the light", he ignores others NDE's without reason and believes others for no other reason than they agree with his...
He is what I wrote to the person who directed me to the the site and his reply.
Thanks, although I'm a no believer in both Hell and God, this story did stir some fear in me. Unfortunatley no matter how much I wanted or tried to I can not honestley do what is required of me to quarantee my...
If there is a god I think you are right but it's not something I can really concern myself with to much because regardless I can only follow the path I have chosen. I was directed to the account by a christian who obviously doesn't feel the same as you or I.
I live in a christian country, was brought up on christian values although not forced into christianity by virtue of where I was born christianity has been imprinted on my persona.
I am a Buddhist, atheistic towards the abrahamic god of christ\islam\etc and polytheistic religions, agnostic...
