Departure

Unfortunately a lot of my time has become required for self-improvement :meditate: on my path. I won't be able to comb through threads/posts here or on Dhamma Wheel (I was on both) any longer. If anyone e-mails me I'll do my best to help. I'm not an expert, but I am honest and not biased toward any ...

Re: Buddhism for the lay person?

The monastic Sangha really could not survive in its current form without the lay community. Lay Buddhists have played their role in our history from day one. I think Huifeng was also thinking about the problems involved in sustenance and procreation. Although to know suffering and the way to its ces...

Re: Hallo

Hehe... I will out myself as being at DhammaWheel too. We should order pizza, and have a trans-forum sleep over! I'm on three forums right now, myself. The first forum, and the one I'm still the most active on, is NewBuddhist.com. Naturally I went there because I haven't been a Buddhist for long. :...

Re: Hallo

Welcome, Mog. I just came here from Dhamma Wheel myself a few days ago. Of course there are so many people on these forums that I make more progress helping people on New Buddhist. :)

Re: Greetings

Honestly I'm having difficulty trying to figure that out for myself. It seems like I must've read it somewhere but didn't think about it until I was updating my website. I think it must've been posted somewhere on DhammaWheel. Do you know if they have a link from there to here? I assumed these must ...

Re: No Proofs of Sucessful Rebirths?&Are Pure Land sutras real?

No one can prove rebirth to you, nor can you use texts/teachings as proof any more than you can say God exists because the Bible says he does. If you understand the teachings and believe, that is your personal attachment. It is the same if you disbelieve, for disbelief is a form of belief-against, a...

Greetings

Hey all. My name is Stephen, and I'm a relatively new Buddhist; I've only considered myself one for about 3-4 months now. I'm not attached to any particular school and consider them all to be worthy of respect and all with the knowledge of the way to liberation. I have previously posted on DhammaWhe...
