"An elderly chinese man locating a spirit in a private house. The spirit had got nowhere to hide and so, decided to possess into the body of a lady. Nevertheless, it was casted out of her body and 'jailed' into a bottle."
P.S. BWB does not recommend such acts of exorcism!! Just posting for fun -
Forum ratings are a lil weird these days...Originally posted by An Eternal Now:
Yesterday was so tired to post the top 20 list.. in fact I was already falling asleep then I remembered about the ratings then I go check, wow thats kind of surprising.. lol.
Anyway today's rating is a little weird, 70+ still out of top 20, and top 20 must be >80. Makes me wonder whats happening in sgforums...
Forum Activity Rating rose to 81.621 but still out of top 20 list (1 position behind)
Perhaps it suggests an overall increase in postings and traffic in sgForums as a whole... -
The economy is good, so everyone talks alot?Originally posted by An Eternal Now:Forum ratings are a lil weird these days...

Just now some Christian youth group approached me to do a survey... some 'life science' survey asking me about my views on evolution, etc.
Only after talking a bit to them did I realise that they are actually a Christian group
They asked me a lot of things like my beliefs and understanding... I don't think they have approached any true Buddhists before because they assume that since I'm a Buddhist I am those 'pray-pray' type of people, and believe that Nu Wah is the creator of all beings Then I had to tell them the 'guang yin tian' story in brief... well I told them a few things, including that in Buddhism, our aim is about liberation and enlightenment, and is not about accumulating good karma through good works. I also told them about us not worshipping Guan Yin but taking Guan Yin as a Bodhisattva role model in the Bodhisattva path to attain Buddhahood.
But because time is so short... I only was able to talk with them a while. Interesting conversation.
I just hope that more people will really find out more about what Buddhism truly is... it seems like theres alot of people out there who doesnt have the slightest idea what the Buddhadharma is about. -
I hope I can have ur patience, knowlege and skills when in such a situation. Really.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:Just now some Christian youth group approached me to do a survey... some 'life science' survey asking me about my views on evolution, etc.

I always smile, said I'm a Buddhist, then just "shut" my ears and walk away. Very "cowardly".
Or when they came a knocking on my door, I wld just let them finish reading a verse or a page ( yeah, a page), then said " thank you" and shut the door gentlly, leaving them in a daze outside. Sorry...

mm i have to mull over the book 'power of now' before posting any things... so not of any discussion on it yet... and i also haven't really finish reading the entire book..
Btw a friend jio me to the Buddha's relic temple yesterday and i went around with this sutra ( which is also rotating clockwise ) on the 4th floor of the temple.. heard it was a powerful sutra but i forgot the name of it...
and frankly, if i haven't join my sch's Buddhist society as a programmer for their foc, i couldn't honestly have learnt what buddhism is really about.
and i think i haven't been practising much cos i have been distracted by many things lately... so much worldly pleasure and troubles.. heh -
Partly because those Christians are interested to understand what I understand... they're not those who are trying to force their ideas upon you.Originally posted by cycle:I hope I can have ur patience, knowlege and skills when in such a situation. Really.

But even if they are I will still be very interested in discussing with them
