En Sabah Nur Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 you obviously know nothing about buddhism. buddhas are not gods. they do not save you. they do not take you to heaven. you do not pass go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WORDISM45 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 in Mahayana Buddhism they believe Buddha and others like him are 'Bodhisatvas', those who have reached enlightenment but come back to samsarra to save everything else. In Theravada they don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Module X Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Well I'm pretty psyched that you even tried. I find him interesting because he seems to have a very strong idea of how we percieve contemporary metaphysics, but had to couch it in secular language. "Contemporary metaphysics" is an interesting term to me. From a basic perspective, I don't really understand how philosophy can "evolve." I have to choose my words carefully here because I guess only mean evolve in the sense of "intrinsic" improvement, which is another sticky term. My point is that in differentiating a "contemporary" ontology from an older one, you might be relying on superficial differences. If philosophy is concerned with immutable truth, the discipline must only change in the way in which it is expressed. There is certainly value in varying expressions of philosophy, but as I've probably said here before this value seems very Daoist to me, in the sense that anything you do is potentially philosophically benificial, simply given the fact that it CAN be done. A drunken ramble after a doobie session, hope that's coherent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.crooked Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I think you are most certainly right. I don't think much has changed in the course of philosophy. It is always the same truth just in different words. But is important to every era of thought to have that truth said in the terms of that time. It is from these expressions that we find movement in other fields. Taoist indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoeWhan Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 The Truth about Death By NoeWhan Your time on this 'plane of existnce' or whatever must be well spent. So many nasty things happen on a daily basis, it is easy to get frustrated or confused. Death and pain are things that everyone fears, and we're all ticking fncking time bombs. Anyone could die any minute. But really... What is death? Like most things, it's an illusion. Along with the fear that people use to manipulate the overall control. But, nobody can stay alive forever. Death death death. Oh that time of glory. I can't wait... But I really want to make my time here so amazing, that my next life will remember it (if that whole theory of reincarnation is true.) Or maybe I'd like to be a different species. Being a fish or a bird would be the best. Infinite is often used to describe the ways of life. And you only have to look up into the stars to be inspired by that thought. People who have died before and who have come back, can sometimes remember meetings with glowing people, Gods, or being in their own paradise... Or even being led away by normal people in suits... to hell. If you really want to have a near death experience... I'd go to the native American Indians, and meet the Heyoka tribe. They still practice certain 'death journeys' where you meet the Gods, and all sorts of weird stuff. In conclusion... Nobody can tell you the experience, until you have been there yourself. Therefore my whole essay is worthless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
