Buddhism at its core is not about conceptually negating or accepting anything, even Samsara. In the beginning yes one acknowledges that one doesn't want to be in it anymore. It's an important step, not just in Buddhism in anything that speaks on relieving suffering. One has to know one is suffering, in order to take an initiative to resolve it. And yes for the very laymen yes the Buddha taught them not to do certain things for their own peace of mind. But again that's not really what the historical Buddha was really trying to teach. And the idea that nirvana is "503409304943 lifetimes away" is for those who don't practice at all. Albeit, what people call enlightenment in Buddhism that's just the beginning of the journey. And once enlightened initially one sees that even millions of years is akin to a blink of an eye because one is not bounded by space and time anymore. One begins to become aware of one's true body. But with practice one should see results in this lifetime, gnosis, not when one is dead and therein hopes to reap the rewards in some type of paradise. There are sects of Buddhism that do believe this, i.e. the Pure land sect. But if one goes and reads those who founded those sects, one will see that the Pure land is actually one's mind and heart, and therefore this Earth.

@asylum
Just leave my battle open until you close the rest at Midnight. It's not like their is 20 battles open, know what I'm saying? Close them all simultaneously. I don't want any special privileges. Thanks. And my vote was for NYCSPITZ.

If you feel like voting, you have about an hour to do so. |
