Is Buddha tooth here the real McCoy?

If you don't want to be dogmatic, then why seek a teacher? Do the experiments on your own and then prove it. If it doesn't work, then the philosophy is false.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:What a weird notion. Do you tell me that having a physics or biology teacher really limits your mind in blah blah blah?
Buddhism is simply a subject just like anything else. If you want to learn Buddhism, you have to learn the correct way of practise, the correct teachings, in order to reach the goal of Enlightenment.
Just like if you want to learn Biology, or Physics or whatever you need to learn the the subject topics, and experiment accordingly to prove the result.
Obviously having a teacher does not limit your mind, because a teacher's task is merely to teach you the proper knowledge of a subject and a proper way to conduct an experiment to achieve a desired result.
If you want to come up with your own version of Biology or Physics with your own facts, obviously nothing good will come out of it, because it does not stand true to experience, observation, and reality. -
Perhaps, it is time to close this thread as there are no more discussions on the tooth. The truth has been extracted. The pain is gone.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:Hi, I have not read your post nor intend to reply today due to the limited time I have.
But I would like to suggest you to create a new topic for this discussion, since the recent replies and discussion has completely went off-topic.
I will look into it when I have the time..
I have spin off a thread on Relic and I think I will spin off a thread on Faith. -

Still cannot believe a tooth can grow by itself to that big
Everyone can see -
If you believe it is real, then it is real. If you believe it is fake, then it is fake. The heart counts.
