lets get real
I won't mind if you started another thread titled "Quarrels & Disputes Are Universal".
Really, it's all about the three roots of greed, aversion and delusion. All sorrows and all quarrels arise from these three roots.
as long as we are humans ...there are always greed ( sometimes its good to have some greed , its another way of motivation ) aversion or even delusion ( not all but most of the religious ppl have it ) .
Well, I caught a glimpse of the other shore. It seems to be still, tranquil and peaceful........
Is this Buddhist's teaching?
Well, I caught a glimpse of the other shore. It seems to be still, tranquil and peaceful.
I find this side of the shore too crowded and noisy. Although it has its share of fun, it also has its share of boredom and torture. If you feel happy being on this side of the shore, I am also happy for you! There are different types of happiness!
all humans have good and bad intentions no one is all the way bad or all the way good ...you still cant change and delete all the emotions be it good or bad in a human
Intention is a conditioned phenomenon. It arises from a cause. The other shore transcends all good and bad intentions.
Feeling/Emotion is a conditioned phenomenon. It arises from a cause. The other shore transcends all feelings/emotions.
Delight in conditioned phenomena is what ties beings down in this universe.
thats why i always tell myself if one day i really wanted to become a buddist ..i will give up everything i have and stay in the mountain ..and become a true buddist ...too bad , i still cannot give up of all the things i have now thats why im not a buddist . i dont believe a cityboy or a businessman can be a buddist ..theres too many temptation in the big city theres no way you can condition yourself
There are 4 stages to cross to the other shore. The first stage is relatively easy simply by getting rid of these three fetters.
1. Self-identity views / doctrines of self
2. Uncertainty/doubt about the existence of the other shore
3. Grasping at precepts and practices (including prayers to an invisible man)
I have passed the first stage, but I am not beyond sensual desire and ill will yet.
i have long ago passed the no.3 stage
No. 3 is part of the first stage.
so i passed the first stage ?
