You obviously bought the Western watered-down, new-agish version of Budhism.

Go to Asia and see what it is really like. Contact with spirits, food offerings, much like voodoo.
Not to mention Tibetan Budhism, which is a perverted sex cult.

if you don't believe in anything, just be yourself. Why do you need Budhism at all ?
 Quoting: saturnino


You speak about a thing that is NOTHING like the original teachings.

It has all been perverted for the sale of control.

It is not Buddhism. It is shit.

Re: Why I pick Buddhism over Religion, and achieve a higher level of serenity over religious people
who's this Buddha you speak of ? he also had the co-creator spirit within..oh, your calling the ark that was driven by the co-creator spirit, Buddha..why didn't you say so,lol..
How unfortunate for some rulers when men,women,and children continue to think... Keep repeating the lies loud enough and long enough and just maybe the people will start to believe the lies again and good luck with that...finding your energy open until mars becomes raging aries...

There is never a lasting victory over lies while the war against Truth has no exit strategy and always ends in defeat.

The Universe is perfectly fair, everyone and everything gets what they and it deserve, and there is no hope.

embrace your lower nature, embrace your ego and empower yourself...there is no need to be ashamed of your nature..
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22331300


True. There is no reason to be ashamed. But you will sometimes suffer. Your ability to empower yourself will sometimes fail. And let's face it, no one ELSE will want to embrace your lower nature when you are weak and failing. Its not a bad idea to know how to detach--you scandanavians do it with alcohol--others have less brain damaging methods.

Buddhism is a religion says Webster's dictionary. Buddhism was a relion of Asia teaching that by right thinking and self-denial one can achieve Nivarna. Buddha was teacher as Jesus was teacher. Preach on, non-religous person.

Actually, there is a profound difference between the conceptual adoption of a teaching and the direct realization of that to which it points.

HUUMMMM,nice avatar op, lets see if budha helps you in the great tribulation that is coming and if it warns you against the ANTICHRIST prince william and his Microchip ,
this is MK ULTRA BULLSHIT so 1 star and BY THE WAY DID YOU KNOW THE NOBEL PEACE DALAI LIAR LAMA APROVED THE KILLING OF BIN LADEN WITHOUT JUDGMENT????
AND HE WANTS A NEW WORLD ORDER:
"This urgent need for cooperation can only strengthen mankind, because it helps us recognize that the most secure foundation for the new world order is not simply broader political and economic alliances, but each individual's genuine practice of love and compassion..."

[link to www.dalailama.com]


so op you want peace without justice cause you are a liar or a sheep
you and dalai liar lama can:
stfu
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21718326


Well...you're certainly "par for the course."

I'll have to admit...the OP is definitely more serene than you, and despite his/her egoic statement about being at a higher state of consciousness than those wrapped up in religion, I'll support the idea that they also are showing higher qualities of "Christ-like" wisdom than yourself. You're not a very good representative sample of those who follow your religion. That's for sure.

This is precisely what the OP was referring to when he stated that he had achieved a "higher level of serenity."

You helped prove his point, despite the fact that other intelligent people were trying to counter it with logic and LOVE.

BRAVO...Brilliant...

I guess I retract all of my previous statements about the OP not achieving a higher state of serenity than people like yourselves. -You helped him prove it...LITERALLY.
 Quoting: Serenity777


do you have problems with THE TRUTH?
his not serene, is just lying, budhism is one more satans lie, and yes boy I`m in a war against satan and satanist to bring REAL PEACE to the world, JUSTICE is necessary for that but you hypocrites seem to forget .
Just look at China, all budhism and...THE GREATEST SHITHOLE OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE WORLD.
Truth hurts but budhists are being fooled by satan, they trust dalai liar lama but in fact in his own words what he really wants is a...NEW WORLD ORDER!!!
Future will tell who is speaking THE TRUTH and boy...GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL cause or you are just one more satanist or a sheep, so keep your peace and love liar talk to yourself cause the example of your budhist friends is all slavery and death...
your MAYTREA antichrist is arriving but he will be defeated by THE LIVING GOD and then you`ll see what JUSTICE is all about.
