    What Buddhist items do you have for worship?

    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.

    non-dualism

    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?

    Pulp mill in Tassie?

    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...

    Atheism is a faith

    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?

    Is God really perfect?

    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...

    non-dualism

    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...

    Buddhism in America?

    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...

    My agreement with god.

    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...

    My agreement with god.

    Thanks Mystic, Maybe I can help him research some more rather than just taking this one claim as the one true NDE.

    My agreement with god.

    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...

    My agreement with god.

    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...

    My agreement with god.

    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.

    My agreement with god.

    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...

    What happens when you die?

    Feel free to answer if you like it is more a general question than just for them.

    What happens when you die?

    Not long ago the mormans or "the other lot" payed a visit while I was out, they left behind a typical leaflet, however this one as I recall was about or at least touched on what actually happens when you die. It quoted from the bible a scrpture that said when you die you are dead, unconcious...

    Islam and homosexuality

    ok, seems like there is no concensus and no unbiased opinion.

    Religious Quote: What's your reaction?

    If the ethics are all that is important then why christianity, there are many other methods to base ethics on. If ethics were all that were important how we came to them would not matter, what makes a religion so is that it is more than just ethics.

    Why must I lie to say the pledge of allegiance?

    There are two problems here, 1). Your pledging for something you don't believe in, the pledge should have it removed if the US truely believes in freedom. 2). Your pledging your alliegence to a nation, nationalism and patriotism are not something to be proud of. Get rid of the pledge. And you...
