Why should religion be locked up?

Religiousness is in our genes.

Religion should be freely commented and discussed

like we discuss other aspects of our lives.

Can we choose not to be reborn? So tired of being human. Being animal is even worse. We should have a petition to Jade Emperor to repeal the reborn code. We should have the right to choose who we want to be even after we die....

Only if you studied the full history of Buddha, that is not captured in sutras or books, you will realise the full spectrum of consequence upon receiving enlightenment.

 

Remember that Buddha received his while under the Bodhi tree, where upon he called the Earth to bear witness to his Nirvana. The speculation is that he was in his 30s to 40s when this happened, after he left his kingdom, moved in with ascetics, and was then tested by temptations by Maya and Mara.

But unlike popular belief, he did not just go poof upon enlightenment. He still lived a human life, but an enlightened life, and dedicated his life to spreading awareness about receiving enlightenment to help other human beings. There was also a section in his history where he was visited by a future buddha (not Maitreya), upon his decision to eventually pass on or to stay on. To stay on is to take the path of the Bodhisaatva, most famous being Avalokiteshvara/Kuanyin.

 

Becoming Bodhisaatva is another set of commitment and consequence, hinting that the individual becomes immaterial but nonetheless, earthbound. This is where one might get the connection to earth angels, differing from heavenly angels. If you are interested, do more research into Sophia Perennis.

Only in his old age, did the Buddha eventually die in his mortal form. So he was in a state of Nirvana, until his eventual Parinirvana.

 

The thing with enlightenment is that it is a COMMITMENT. Even after gaining it, which most do in parts, if not nurtured, it will be lost.

Those who gain, commit and nurture enlightenment and their inner peace/awaremess can choose not to be reborn, because they have another set of duties thereafter.

 

So this is the full picture, don't think no need reborn can just shake leg and eng somewhere in the clouds. Your enlightenment is only a ticket to help present and future mankind. You become an agent of change. Thing is, do you really need to wait for enlightenment? What is this holy sign you are waiting for? And if it does appear, can you acknowledge it for what it is? Or will cynicism, skepticism hold you back? 

Any buddhist or spiritual person knows, the compass is already within us. We are all agents and portals of change, just whether you want to take up that responsibility or not. 

 

[Guest opinion]

just my humble opinion. i know it is impossible to make multiple buddhist threads so im not going to petition to make 10 more buddhist threads. we all know buddhism is firstly divided into 3 vehicles Therevada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana.  then again, if speaking in chinese buddhism sense, separates  into 8 sects which i don't know their names in english im sorry. (三论宗，瑜伽宗，天台宗，贤首宗，禅宗，净土宗，律宗，密宗) . basically there are different ways to cultivate in different sects to achieve buddhahood. personally i am purelander (净土宗) so i will only speak for pureland. i dont have the knowledge for other sects. when i learn about pureland, i only stick with 2 things. one is words spoken by buddha, and second texts explained by masters within pureland. that is because what works for zen, doesnt work for pureland. just like people saying we have to eradicate ignorance, greed and hatred in order to attain arhat fruit. but in pureland,  （im not good in english im sorry i prefer read sutras in chinese）《觀經》下品下生者，臨命欲終時，地獄火，彼人稱念不足十聲 南無阿彌陀佛，火變蓮花，阿彌陀佛現前，迎此等眾生往生極樂世界。(rough translation, visualization of amitabha sutra： a wicked man adorn with all sins, ready to fall to hell, during death bed chants the Namo Amitabha, eradicating all his karma, Amitabha buddha appears and welcomes him to sukhavati.) so this man still has ignorance, greed and hatred intact with him, whereas he can go to sukhavati. so what works in pureland doesnt make sense in zen at all. asking a zen master about mantras wont be as good as asking a vajrayana master, who studies about sutras regarding mantras. i think that if you are cultivating for something in buddhism, know what you are learning. and listen to masters within that sect. this thread is all jumbled into one hence its confusing for everybody with different methods of cultivating to speak. one person speak that buddha only becomes a buddha this lifetime and teach other people to be awaken(probably the smaller vehicle), another one believes he attained buddha before already and comes back and save sentient beings again due to his great vows (mahayana maybe). so if you ask a question here or debate something, you gonna get lots of different answers from different people from different sects. if you read diamond sutra, everything is void. if you read ksitigarbha sutra, there is karma. so whatever you are learning, go to that sect and learn. they are professionals in that area. peace out. Namo Amitabha.

But... how will you know anything about the Buddha if the information doesn't come originally from a book or some other reading material?

All the people from the time of the Buddha have died already.  Their writings don't exist anymore,  the earliest in existence are from over 500 years after him.

All you can know about him is hearsay.  This is the same as with all the other traditional religions.

It would be nice if you could study about Buddha from the real world, universe, whatever.  

But all what we have is not much better than speculation.

[Guest New]

Followers of Shakyamuni Buddha could memorize the words of the Dharma well enough. When he passed away, the whole convent of monks came together and started writing down his teachings. Specially Ānanda, he had a very good memory. These monks or arhats could really memorize word for word. Buddha has also said that if the teachers taught the same as did the Dharma, then it is the Dharma; if taught differently, then it is not the Dharma. 

 

In my opinion, the Heart Sutra wasn’t even taught/passed down by Shakyamuni Buddha. But it has the essence of the Dharma and it is still very powerful even it’s the shortest sutra one might find.

So, I'll say "Shen" is supposedly one of the 'Character/Concept" most difficult to translate into/from other language.

Utilizing IT in this context served to expose the narrator's sympathy to disowned subjects of the Heavenly Empire or those outside civilization.

On the topic of this thread,

is buddha "shen"?

Religions feed on promises of an afterlife.  Didn't Buddha defined an afterlife with successive reincarnations?  Are these nothingness?

Living creatures we don't converge naturally to nothingness.  Our lives have a meaning, a purpose, even if short lived.

Of course death can be an opportunity for nothingness.  But cannot this nothingness wait until then?

when buddha awakes from his illness, he realise that all is emptiness and nothingness. but it was too late, people thought it was something else when he really meant nothingness.

I like the idea that we come to this world as creditors.

But... is becoming a living creature something that rewards the creditor?

 

And how about the gays like me who are not childless?  Did we do something wrong in the past?

[fab]

Not wrong per se but perhaps just something unwholesome enough to warrant for your kid to demand from you.

 

Eg, he may have been a doting father who sacrifices painstakingly for you, so he wants you to know what deal he went through last life.

That's not too bad.   My kid never demanded much from me.  I simply gave him.

 

One exception happened when he was a young teenager,  he wanted, oh so desperately,  a four-wheeler to drive up and down through some empty land. 

And my response was NO!!  Oh he got so mad!   But now as an adult he understands how dangerous these four-wheeler are...

The term "Gay" carries connotation to Judeo-Christianity.

You may care to take into consideration the practices and changes of Tantra Buddhism, east and west.

Specifically, the lineage of Sakya sect, from the guru to Kublai Khan.

As well as a difference in between being not "straight", bi-sexual and engaging in homosexuality.

 

Reminded of BBC host of Hard Talk being surprised by support of coup by a leading figure in Egyptian women rights. 

"Whatever from Al-Sisi, I can oppose.

Whatever Mosi enforced, came from Allah.  I couldn't oppose."

 

I hope you don't find this post deviating from your post, as with your thread.

Which I am not returning.

Haha. Well said.

 

But that has not answered me. 

 

You explained in a simple way the karmic cause and effect of parents and their children. The child brings with him/her his/her own karma. So what is it we did that we like the man of the same sex? Notwithstanding that when we talked about man, we think there are man. But there is no man. Is merely called man.

 

Thank you.

In a karmic theory, there is some logic in that we humans have deserved to reincarnate as such and not into other inferior living forms.  Maybe this is a first level of karma, and once humans, a different category of karma opens up to measure our behavior as humans.  And in this stage we reincarnate with positive or negative amounts of this karma.  It makes sense that we are evaluated in many different human conditions, of different genders and sexual orientations. These cases don't depend on what we deserve, but there is this need for variety. 

 

You may think that to be childless is some premium for something we did earlier.  But why is childless better than with children?  There are just different circumstances, with positives and negatives on both cases.

 

And what is wrong with having kids for selfish reasons?  Why is "completing their own lives' meaning" bad? Don't we all want meaningful lives?  Could the inclination to have kids, selfish or not selfish,  be something positive in our nature to assure survival of our species?

 

Besides the conception by The Buddha, there surely can be different interesting  theories about karma.  After all,  there is no scientific demonstration of what karma really is.  Maybe one can make a good case for the EXISTENCE of karma,  but this is still far from knowing exactly WHAT IT IS.

In all the religions with ancient origins,  the authors of scriptures may not have been illiterate,  but they were definitely IGNORANT.

 

Knowledge cannot be acquired exclusively through thinking, meditation.  It requires observation, experimentation,  which are the foundations of science.  

And science cannot advance far by only one individual.  It has to come from a community of scientists.  This was difficult in the past, compared to the huge population we have today and the forms of communication in today's world.

How can an ignorant insignificant creature on the surface of an insignificant planet have the arrogance of claiming that he knows how the universe works and everything that is in it?

I had to reflect a little more on this after seeing some programs about the origin of the universe, quantum mechanics, nature of gravity, etc. in a recap of how we got to modern physics.

 

BEFORE someone can be believed in his story about the supernatural,  this individual should have a deep understanding of the Natural.  And all the Sages of old times,  Moses, Christ, Buddha, Confucius, Aristotle, were nearly totally ignorant of Nature.  They didn't know what matter is, what light is, what time is, what gravity is,  what the sun is, what the stars are, what lightening is, what thunder is,  what the atmosphere is,  etc. etc.  And even less,  what was the origin of our universe.

 

These ignorant individuals made up stories about the SUPERNATURAL.  Stories about creation of the universe, our creation, our afterlife,  the heaven in the sky, the hell underground, the nirvana.  What is our obligation as intelligent beings to believe in all these stories?   Maybe it is enough to appreciate the social teachings of these sages, apply some in our personal philosophies, and throw the rest to the big pile of stories of fantasy and science fiction.

This is an academic paper, scholarly writing on its way to being peer reviewed, but it deals with modern day interpretations,

and attempts to bridge the esoteric buddhist knowledge and daily practice.

 

All I can say is that upon receiving Enlightenment, that is when your true work begins. 

Your career, vanity, attempts at material wealth will simply be distractions. 

And as shown to me, there are up to 16 different roles that each person will be relegated to.

We can already see two of these in Buddhism - the Buddha and the Bodhisattva.

 

As seen in all instances of those who have gotten their call (Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad),

the periods after is where their actual work begins. Before that, they only had mundane vocations.
