Banner for example, is that a kind of killing?

THIS is his task!
Why?
Because the beings are bond in samsara and HE has sympathy for them.

Hope is tricky so as the fear to have no task.

Re: Knowledge and Awareness in Buddha
Yes, it is. There is a sutra on banner. Can you help me look up which sutra it is?Hanzze wrote:Banner for example, is that a kind of killing?
Killing is obviously right. How could anyone say otherwise? In fact I challenge you find one Buddhist sutra that says Killing is wrong.What do you think Mr. Gordo, is killing right or wrong?

Re: Knowledge and Awareness in Buddha
That is why we need to be careful when we use right and wrong.
From my view, there is no different between take somebodies life or banner him. But it would not have that much unwholesome effects on whom who is bannered. For those who banner, it will come again and again.
The problem is to believe in a task ratter than to letting go of them and make space for compassion.
Oh, and even the Buddha killed - do you remember what?

I agree. In fact there is no difference between a hamburger and 1965 camaro.
Why? The task is no differnent than letting go or holding on. There is no difference between compassion and indifference.The problem is to believe in a task ratter than to letting go of them and make space for compassion.

Absolutely. Dying is the real bad karma. Killing is good as it leads to rebirth, so the earlier we kill people the better - in fact we should kill people during their previous life, just to be sure of receiving the blessings as quickly as possible.
Thus was taught in the Yama Arashi Sutra of the Divine Wind Ornament, concerning the sweeping or blowing away of life by Yama, Lord of Death.

It's funny, as I was just re-reading Dennis Hirota's book on the biography of Ippen who was a Japanese Pure Land practitioner and wandering mendicant. Ippen actually had to tell his followers not to commit suicide in order to achive rebirth in Sukhavati quicker. Ippen was obviously a fool.

I have lost any hope that you ever get a grasp of language and I fear that you will never undertake the task to remedy this incapacity.Hanzze wrote:Hope is tricky so as the fear to have no task.
However the Buddha certainly has undertaken the task to teach beings what is right, i.e. what to adopt, and what is wrong, i.e. what to cast aside, in order to put an end to dukkha.

I favour the Anna Baptist eschatology - which asserts that those who die lack faith in their own immortality. It was often the last thing they considered - before being killed, so better to kill them before they get as far as thinking.

Re: Knowledge and Awareness in Buddha
Dear friends,
While I am writing here, I am aware of that I am killing.
When ever there is a name of what we are killing it will have unwholesome effects.
Stay natural and mindful.

There is no killing as there must be death . There is only regret of action .

Re: Knowledge and Awareness in Buddha
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 buddhist, I think it would be disgraceful to let others see your actions. Your words are a reflection of your cultivation and practice.
Come on everyone, we're buddhists, oh no, I mean we're PEOPLE. BE NICE!
Namo Amituofo!
