Firstly, this is a platform for discussion which consist of various views.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:Your post is very vague here. You only criticise the posters, but you did not specify what exactly is wrong. So I hope you can be more detailed.
Originally posted by White_Wolf_Thunder:I understand that Cenarious's post may be non-sensical, but I do not think it is insulting or deserves to be removed. Again he does not represent Buddhists at large, and what he posts is his responsibility, he certainly does not represent our forum as a whole, but his own personal views.
From the start, this thread is not appropriate at all to be in this pureland.
Again with most of the replies, i do not think it should be that of a true buddhist.Which replies? Anyway words cant speak the Truth, but are skillful means to correct some people's ignorant misconcepts of Buddhism. If nobody corrects him, then others will also get the wrong idea by reading this topic.
Emptiness is there. Buddhism is not only practice through words, it in all your actions. So all these represent the doing of a Buddhist.
I am very shocked. Full of words doesn't mean it is full of Wisdom. A single action can speak a thousand words.
Sorry i am not full of words like many but the answer is right there in my few words, just you fail to see it.
I would like you to define your idea clearly ,so , you are a person who likes to generalise people and take things at first impressionOriginally posted by White_Wolf_Thunder:Firstly, this is a platform for discussion which consist of various views.
I gave my view you said it is very vague.
I am just implying so this is the impression of Buddhism which you want others to know you as.

I know and i understand.
That is your views, i have my views.
Your understanding and views does not represent the voice of all buddhists at large.
So you are telling me your views represent your forum as a whole?

You got it, it is about impression you are showing to all right now.Originally posted by bohiruci:I would like you to define your idea clearly ,so , you are a person who likes to generalise people and take things at first impression
everyone have everyone ability ,we have the freewill to speak ourselves out
you are thrashing ideas upon others ,dun you think it is very naive of you to come here .
I suggest you read up about Buddhism before starting to criticise people in the forum .You couldnt be much better in your action
Who can goes to heaven ? only the humble and kind soul ,NOT the fundamentalist , radicalist and intolerant people will go
my 2 cents worth
if patience is what that's lacking, then i wonder what's a freewill? the freedom of speech?Originally posted by White_Wolf_Thunder:You got it, it is about impression you are showing to all right now.
I see freewill don't exist in your doing.
What idea? Now who is naive?
I am not well learned and i am still learning every single day but i am better than you in many ways.
Patience is what you lack. Wisdom will never be there untill then.
Humble that is the word that don't make other see of you.
Intolerance? Many can tell.
Thank you for your 2 cents, it mean so much to everyone.
Interesting.Originally posted by paperflower:if patience is what that's lacking, then i wonder what's a freewill? the freedom of speech?
impression? what kind of impression? i don't see impression in profound emptiness.
How do you spell humble?
you are learning, so is everyone else.
be open hearted, guide people with kindness, not with hostility.
naive is not a bad thing after all. you think too much unnecessarily.
simplicity is powerful.
if 2 cents means so much to everyone including you, then take more of it. anyway they are free. words are free. if you add the word cheap in it? then, free of charge things don't cost any penny....
"wonderful song", thank you. i reciprocate.Originally posted by White_Wolf_Thunder:Interesting.
You should read the earlier replies.
Freedom of speech we all have. I am exercising it.
But it take two hands to clap.
Simplicity is needed in here. who think too much? How profound can it be in simple few words?
Yes 2 cents, I am taking more of it. Just like a song sung, i sing it back to you my way.
Free does not mean it is good. FOC is good but not to all. To give is better than take. To accept or not is up to the receiver. No happiness there if there is unwillingness.
I appreciate your reply hope you in turn appreciate mine. Thank you.![]()
Originally posted by paperflower:"wonderful song", thank you. i reciprocate.
simplicity is infinity. complications in turn are actually limited. don't be misled by glossy covers.
free stuff have values of their own, it is still too early to sum things up. good or bad, it is in the eyes of the beholder.
simple few words can determine a strong impact onto your well being because they are easy to remember. isn't that sophisticatedly lethal at times or enlightening at times?
surely, what goes around comes around. it is good to give, the more you give the more you gain.
thanks you too.![]()
points noted ..altruistic idea here ... I take my retirement at this topicsOriginally posted by White_Wolf_Thunder:You got it, it is about impression you are showing to all right now.

Of course not...Originally posted by White_Wolf_Thunder:I know and i understand.

Your understanding and views does not represent the voice of all buddhists at large.
So you are telling me your views represent your forum as a whole?
Similarly, not everyone is afraid of "ugly girls" like you. In fact I believe there more people are afraid of death than people who are afraid of ugly girls.Originally posted by Cenarious:But not everyone is afraid of death. Why do some people commit suicide? Because they think something in their life sux more than death. Many people would rather shorten their lives by a few years to enjoy their life more thoroughly. As is what I think.
If everyone were equally ugly, then there wont be sadness. It is this unequality that makes it suck.
Originally posted by An Eternal Now:how many times do i have to say that i am not "afraid" of ugly girls? are you trying to become bohiruci?
Similarly, not everyone is afraid of "ugly girls" like you. In fact I believe there more people are afraid of death than people who are afraid of ugly girls.
And anyway my point is [b]not whether one is afraid of death or not. Pls read my previous reply and you will know. My point is to know that death is a fact that is equal in all beings and in all our livetimes, in fact also in all things that we possess, and to transcend birth and death and dukkha we have to practise.[/b]
and usually i dont like to use the word "ugly" and this topic is like overusing itOh but isnt that the whole point of your topic?
it was supposed to be lite and end quick but it dragged on and on.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:Oh but isnt that the whole point of your topic?
You say this topic shouldnt be here, but unfortunately the forum doesn't have the policy of removing topics unless it has malicious intentions to insult or otherwise deemed as appropriate to delete... and I believe you mentioned earlier you understood this point.Originally posted by White_Wolf_Thunder:I am saying the replies in here in general.
Your correction is definitely not working out.
Just like a jar of muddy water, the more you stir the dirtier it get.
A jar of muddy water should'nt be here at all in this pureland.
I see a stain here i am telling you now.
It takes two hands to clap to make a sound.
Well you are also part of the reason why it dragged on and on. Also, you post a topic in an open forum like this, you must expect replies. It is not a place where you simply say a one liner statement and let people read - you can do that on a website. On a forum, everyone can express their opinions and reply to the thread. If they disagree, they will say why. If they agree, they will also say why.Originally posted by Cenarious:it was supposed to be lite and end quick but it dragged on and on.
It would have ended quick if you caught what I meant immediately. Sorry for overestimating you.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:Well you are also part of the reason why it dragged on and on.

I do get what you meant, and your idea is wrong.Originally posted by Cenarious:It would have ended quick if you caught what I meant immediately. Sorry for overestimating you.
Ok then. Strange... so many closed threads today.Originally posted by Cenarious:I think this topic should be closed. The misunderstanding is getting too much.
Outer inequality is not the primary cause that makes people sick, it is discrimination and dualism that makes people sick.Originally posted by Cenarious:If everyone were equally ugly, then there wont be sadness. It is this unequality that makes it suck.
