I see... very sorry if I have made a mistake. Yes, they do have a branch here.Originally posted by vegitto:helloz. watever made u come to that conclusion?
i would have wanted to suggest to TS that he may start by learning the precepts, 4 noble truths and eightfold path, etc. before going to mahayana texts.
wat i've noticed is that a lot of ppl are quite lost when 1st contact with buddhism, and straight away they will go into zen, vajrayana etc. whereas the precepts, 4 noble truths and eightfold path is a very good foundation of which many ppl neglected.
been here coz there's a lot of ppl here who knows a lot more than me, and i benefitted from reading wat they have shared in the threads.
true buddha school, they've got branch in sg? aren't they located at taiwan and US.

Cos I was surfing friendster and found your contact '[email protected]' http://profiles.friendster.com/user.php?uid=2230526, where you wrote your favourite books are 'GrandMaster's Books!!!' (Grand Master is the title they coined for their master Lu-Sheng yen) and within the picture of the sangha looked like True Buddha School (costumes look a little similar). And then I clicked on the link 'GrandMaster's Books!!!' and it linked me to another person's friendster profile, and for that person it is clearly stated she is from True Buddha School.
When I check her photos, it seems that their costume are exactly the same: http://www.friendster.com/photos/8987159/0/132664549#pic=1691236207 . Your profile: http://photos-526.friendster.com/e1/photos/62/50/2230526/36471032245637l.jpg. I don't recall Mahayana wearing this sort of costumes for lay persons. Furthermore, the picture in your profile shows a mixture of Vajrayana and Mahayana costume, not coming from a single school, a characteristic of True Buddha School.
But I might very well have made a mistake.
What sangha/organisation are you from btw?

anyway anyone here noes venerable kai zhao? he's a teravada monk from msia.
taken refuge under him.
he's been to sg to give talks occasionally..but sadly i haven't been going
But if you know he is falsely claiming biased conciousness to be something else? What would you do?Originally posted by wilsonhao:Now look whos stupid in the first place.. Its so foolish to critsize someone when you dunno how much knowledge and wisdom he has.
TS' intention is not malicious. He is also not a troll. He is a Buddhist and I think his intent is to show to fellow Buddhists that we do not practice what we learn in Buddhism. Here's a quote from the TS clarifying his intent, found in page 2 of this thread.Originally posted by wilsonhao:Now look whos stupid in the first place.. Its so foolish to critsize someone when you dunno how much knowledge and wisdom he has.
Lord buhdda is nothing but a normal person, his deeds and achievement are nothing measurable,
Lord buhdda is empty and originate from a human form, his achievements are nothing measurable because it is infinite, far too great to be measured and experience cannot be gauge, true?
Well, Lord buhdda is toopid and foolist, the right words for lord buhdda is stupid and foolish, its what the content that matter, i will give u a nicely covered book with hilarious content.
I said about his followers, yea?
Apparently, i am half impressed by some who here who indeed speaks of great wisdom whereas some who jsut preach the teaching of buhdda. I am personally in awe of the teaching of buhdda but in my recent stay here. I am very curious, i seen few religion threads, islam to christian, many are jsut an opposite of what their religion preaches.
I have a relative who practise buhdda teaching, meditate, go to temple, talk to his master, But i am pratically in shock that he is just someone who didnt have the right temper and attitude, wish you all can see what i am trying to say.
A chinese saying, real gold will withstand the heat. How much faith do you have in buhdda. Why is there such a strong reaction? Did the teaching buhdda indicate so? i beg to differ, why not go to read up some of the article An Enternal Now have put up.
I have found the answer i seek, to pick up buhddism for the sake of magic or pick up buhddism for sake of cultivating and alternatives. I been to quite afew forums and most are aggressive, Buhddism:wisdom bliss is a forum so far the friendliest of my walks of life, so i have decided to put a test to it.
Is those who practise buhdda teaching really practising buhddas teaching or are they in the pretext of it, initially, i have no faith in much religion except buhdda because his teaching speak the most sense but my question arrive to the point of his followers. How much impact can it have on the devotee.
My conclusion have finally urge me to pick buhddism as a religion even though its teaching do not have much influence on all but i can see it on some, which is a good thing.
