What is Truth?

Pilot.

 

(silence)

Jesus.

 

 

The idea of Truth depends on the idea of Non Truth.

The idea of Non Truth depends on the idea of Truth.

Vicious loop.

i like the moral example of this ideal. we need ideals like this but

at the same time it's important to note that, if taken literally this

is unrealistically idealistic. take vegeterians for example. why

draw an arbitrary line at vegetables? if we didn't eat vegetables,

we'd be killing ourselves. in any case, we kill in order to survive

and we pay taxes which finances killings we pretend not to know. i

like maharaj's version as well, which is more realistic for the moral

beings:

 

" Nisargadatta: You fight others all the time for your survival as a

separate body-mind, a particular name and form. To live you must

destroy. From the moment you were conceived you started a war with

your environment - a merciless war of mutual extermination, until

death sets you free. "

Namaste,

 

Yes but that is no reason for lack of trying or doing our best. As

Jesus said 'be ye perfect as my Father in heaven is

perfect.'Otherwise the principle of Ahimsa is continually and

deliberately violated.....We can only do what we can

do.......ONS...Tony.

 

I'm a vege but not yet a vegan, for example. Then there are those who

only eat nuts and berries and fruits that fall...Or those that don't

eat at all and only absorb prana directly....ONS...Tony.

The Buddha didn't say that, pal. The Buddha never

commented about the afterlife. Some monk trying to

attract converts wrote that. For your information,

everyone gets peace after death because there is no

one

to get anything else. There is no one in life either,

so why don't you have peace?

 

Peace,

Pete

Hi Pete --

 

Yes, this business of worrying about

the afterlife can only be one

additional activity of mind,

with which to perplex itself,

as if it could be a self,

which could be perplexed,

or could ever know anything.

 

As for why one doesn't have peace --

it is because a cycle gets constructed

around assumed separation, in which

experience, memory, feeling, and

anticipation conspire to keep

an imagined sense of continuity

going --

 

And of course, that imagined continuity

wants to know what will become of it

after death --

 

As if it ever had a real beginning!

 

LOL!

 

Enjoying your comments,

Dan

If that's true, then the majority of the writings we have of the " sayings &

doings " of Buddha must grossly misrepresent what Buddha taught, in which case

one would wonder how you would know he did or did not make such a comment.

If there is no one in this life, then " he " already has peace. Death would make

no difference, would it?

Namaste,

 

This is religion more than the standard ones, such as

Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, etc etc etc.

IMO they serve a purpose at a basic level of awareness

as a guide, however it is good to be born in a

religion but not so good to die in one......ONS....Tony.

Namaste,IMO,

 

Whether it be Buddha or the Vedantists, it always

comes back to the same place: Purification of the

samskaras.

 

So many put forward the mental non dualism, without

the sadhana to purify the buddhi.

 

No matter how non dual one is mentally,( Vndists) one

thought or samskara will bring one back or prevent

moksha.

 

Moksha isn't fast food or instant gratification

through intelligence......It is hard work

Sadhana....look at Ghandiji.........ONS...Tony.
