Well, that's other people's choices. We can make choices too, by not becoming one of them.Originally posted by waliao:Indeed, there have been many FAKE buddhists who go around doing more harm than good for their own selfish means which is also e case with other religions. How these black sheeps have tarnished the name of religion.... haix....
Have been going around the major temples in Singapore to pray recently. Situation slighly better now but still not out of the red yet.Originally posted by yamizi:Well, that's other people's choices. We can make choices too, by not becoming one of them.
Do consider your business situation now. Sometimes it isn't really bad to fail in something, cos it may lead you to be successful in another.
Just keep your options open.

You been very kind in providing me with answers.Originally posted by dadaism:Field report 2
1) KMT is actually a child spirit of sorts and according to the thread in SOA is part of Thai Buddhism. At least that's what Zacken Sifu mentioned in the back of the thread about KMT.
2) Thus alittle contradiction in views here. Nothing much else.
I do understand what is buddhism.Originally posted by neutral_onliner:No
U can read books on Buddhism to get a better understanding of wat buddhism is all abt.
In the mean time u can oso read here...

There are four types of Buddhism exist in our society today, we should recognize them as they are and think carefully as to which way is most beneficial to us, and the one we will ultimately followOriginally posted by White_Wolf_Thunder:I do understand what is buddhism.
Just i am confused by all these or should i say i am shocked.
That is such wonderful read, great info. Thanks.
I like Thubten chodron teachings, she is very good and interesting to me. Warm and jovial personality, very charismatic with good sense of humour when i first saw her at her talk.![]()

you won't be shocked or confused if you really do understand what is buddhism. will others stir waves in your clear apprenhension? to be flowing into confusion & not being influenced into confusion and stay focus are two different abilities. (if you really claimed you understood buddhism).Originally posted by White_Wolf_Thunder:I do understand what is buddhism.

oh yes thubten chodron's dharma retreat was excellent. it was beneficial. perhaps you could try to recall her teachings and practice from her guidance.![]()
we have alot of learners here together including me.Originally posted by White_Wolf_Thunder:My understanding of Buddhism is simple not as complicated as here.
I understand Buddhism from what i see in my own views. We are all unique in our own way just like uniqueness of Buddhism.
I do not see myself as a true buddhist but i wish to know more.
Confusion are part of human weakness.
I admit i am not strong because i am only human, there is only so much i can do.
I do remember Thubten chodron's teaching in my heart.
Thank you.
See what i mean.Originally posted by dadaism:Something e matter here? i seem to sense a sudden shift in e mood. We all engaging in a good mannered discussion than suddenly storm clouds pass by.

You are kind.Originally posted by paperflower:we have alot of learners here together including me.
i am still not up to scratch of being a true "good" buddhist though wholeheartedly i have a direction towards it.
it's an affinity as valuable as gems that redeems us from poverty in ignorance.
may you have a safe and smooth journey.
