Dharma Wheel

I would say do it skillfully. I am doing my part to save all sentient beings by preventing CSEe and Hanzee from slandering the Dharma and creating negative causes and conditions for themselves which they do quite a good job of. I understand your kind intentions here. However, maybe this can be a re...

Ooops sorry i typed this before seeing your recent post. This is in reply to the one that is earlier. Not to add more fuel to this situation. But since I typed it I shall just let it stay. Whatever it is, being practitioners ourselves. I believe, at least for myself, that my words are a reflection ...

My apologies I take that back. I'm sorry.

But would you mind being nicer?

I thought that comment was too harsh.

Namo Amituofo!

With complete respect Mr. Gordo, no offence. Firstly, being in a buddhist forum, it is only wise to be nice as we are all or at least most of us are nice people. Patience is what we are to cultivate, anger, hatred and harsh speech should not be tolerated. Secondly, you proclaiming yourself as a budd...

awareness in my perception is measurement of our energy towards purity / emptiness - the Buddha . What do you mean by measurement of our energy towards purity/emptiness? What energy is that? Knowledge is only tiny part of awareness as in awareness there are compassion / desire / emotions /suffering...

Heh thanks. Yea read that already, thought I'd at least give it a try.

Thanks.

Hello, I'm a little interested in pure land visualisation practices according to the comtemplation sutra, anyone does this practice? Anyone can help me better understand how to go about doing this practice? Do I visualise all 16 visualisations at once or is there another way I should go about doing ...

Haha, yeah thats an actor who wore whatever clothing he could get his hands on to look like a monk.

hahahaha, he better not be trolling us.

CSEe, Here's some readings for your reference, http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/guide.htm (Don't worry, from what I read, I don't think these teachings are too hard to understand.) Might help you understand things from a different perspective, you don't have to follow them, but maybe just spend s...

Take it or not, let him be. Everyone faces difficulty when they encounter the dharma, I'm still facing difficulties. Let's just hope we will all find our way. What he is doing isn't wrong IMHO, a good enquiring spirit This to us, seems unnecessary, seems a long way, but if people like taking longer ...

Namo Amituofo! Hello, Correct me if I'm wrong, from what I see, you seem like you wish to be a Samyaksambuddha. Someone whos discovers the dhamma without refering to books or studies that the buddha has already taught us. Samyaksambuddhas (Pali: sammasambuddha) gain Nirvana by their own efforts, and...

Well that's a good thing. But we could also say that theres 15 days of chinese new year, so technically speaking, theres 11 more days to go.

Namo Amituofo! Namo Amituofo! Namo Amituofo!

Namo Amituofo! Pardon my lack of understanding and knowledge. Sorry and thank you for that!

I would say trapping them in a jar in your place would be the best and most ethical method, maybe give them a little food or something, let them age to death. But then again, too many in a jar, would they mate? Do they even mate? Haha, but i still prefer the idea of trapping them in the jar and let ...
