    Are Humans and Humanity Special?

    No. And their capacity to love is far less than most of the animal kingdom members.

    California activist and their legal zeal

    So is abortion. It's a woman's right to have one. That didn't stop the religious zealots from pushing for its extinction.

    Liberals: Do you donate to the government?

    Where do you get the idea that liberals or progressives say this? Please provide your source. I find it right leaning offensive and propaganda pushing.

    For Real?!?

    Sanctimoniously appealing to the masses in TN while offending the common sense of mankind everywhere. What a terrible law.

    Quote by High Lama from "Lost Horizon" I love that it embraces kindness and love

    Your Christian faith extends your desires beyond yourself. I believe Buddhists keep themselves on their path and it is that and the inner peace they exhibit which attracts others. We can only control us. Buddhists are not out to convert the world. What the world sees in the buddhist is...

    How long will it be until I am enlightened?

    Enlightenment is an eternal not an external quality to "realize". It unveils the delusions of what we are in this life and what we see and think we know. It is the falling away of what we thought was reality. I guess it can be obtained at any moment.....the real enlightenment, however, IMHO...

    buddha's last words

    I am not sure the connection between Siddharta and a worshipped deity is a good one. Siddhart was a man who learned, through experimenting on his own, how to attain enlightenment which had been done for thousands of years before. Siddharta is not a christ nor a god. He just had one school of...

    New Tibetan Book of the Dead

    I truly appreciate your pointing out the meditation you do with regard to all persons considered the same. Indeed, in my own failings, i have focused on my perceptions of my relationship to others instead of how I am related to all others. I will do that contemplations of three persons and...

    New Tibetan Book of the Dead

    You made me smile. It's a gift to do that in life. It's a way of life, IMHO, to be able to do that over a computer. I am learning much, as well. I have focused a lot on death and it has helped me live. I at first found the concept from Soygal Rinpoche in The Tibetan Book on Living and Dying...

    Hello all...I'm Sinks Canyon and am seeking life as a Buddhist

    Although I have been reading and practicing as a Buddhist for about 10 years, I still feel as though I am just scratching the surface. My meditation is not a consistent practice with me which causes great failures on my part. I am working on Right Thinking and attempting to alter my bad...

    Varying schools of Buddhism

    IMHO, as I understand Buddhism to date, there are varying schools of practicing meditation and life which will allow for enlightenment. These schools popped in at varying times and offer no more than just ways of performing meditation and living life and are not contradictions in and of...

    New Tibetan Book of the Dead

    As the Tibetan Book of the Dead is a manual, a better book to read about Tibetan Buddhism is Soygal Rinpoche's A Tibetan Book on Living and Dying. It helps to explain more about the beliefs and practices contained in Tibetan Buddhism.

    Who are the Liberal Christians?

    Are you saying then that the Liberal Christians are those who don't necessarily go to an organized church but who still believe in God and Christ and read the bible?

    Buddhism and Creationism

    In my school, all forms are energy and it has always existed. There was no beginning and there is no end...there just is.
