Re: Hahahaha !

As an atheist Theravada Buddhist, I don't believe in marriage.

Nothing is permanent and unchangeable. Love and emotions do fade and alter. That's why there are divorces. Marriage is a state of delusion hoping for something to last even though it goes against the nature of all things to change. Just like chasing after an invisible man in the sky hoping for eternal salvation ...

Good for you, at least, you are earnest with your belief not like some fakes.

Salvation ? To each his own.

A branch of bloody looking evil bastard using God as their tool to suck people money, bring bad image to the real Christians and still not repenting!!!

This is not the right way of using Buddhism. Further more, when you start with "evil bastard" you are already violating the Buddhist rule.

Seriously, does Buddhism not have black sheep just like Christianity? This has all to do with human heart, as long as there are greed, there are people who would abuse the trust of followers. Shaolin temple is a very good example, it has turned into a place for commerical gain with little reference to Buddhism. The monks there may be reciting Buddhist script every morning, noon and night, but the activities suggest little for spiritual practice.

The difference we can make is our reaction to such incidents. If there is a case against an abbot of a temple, would you be reacting the same way as CHC members or would you instead urge the abbot to come clean? Ming Yi is a very good example, the whole revelation tells us more than just embezzlement, questions arises even on his intimate relationship with his assistant! Yet when he is out of jail, he received a grand welcome back from his temple and still maintaining a large followings. there is not a single shread of regrets in him even after much desecration of Lord Buddha's name.

If we treasure our own religion, we need to be critical of our own actions. If we can't even achieve this, do we even have the right to criticise others of their responsibilities to their religion?

If hardcore Theravada Buddhism is not against marriage and sex, you would see the Buddha alongside a certain prophetic man screwing 1024 virgins in Tavatimsa heaven.

Really, there's nothing wrong with marriage. It's just how you view it, and the view from hardcore Theravada Buddhism is quite different from yours. It's all about perceptions. So long as you are satisfied and happy with your perception of marriage, everything is just fine.

Yes, it's all about perceptions. The degree of delusion is the case of your perception of marriage is obviously much less than the degree of delusion in the above case.

Welcome to the power of perceptions! Do you perceive a God in the sky? He is talking to you!

Without perceptions, there would be no expressions. However you perceive something, that is how you express it. It's because of the diversity in perceptions that there are diversity in expressions in this religious folder. It's just too bad you chased Kinana away.

If hardcore theravada buddhism is agsint marriage and sex, then there will not be any layman followers to this discipline. I consider Theravada Buddhism as the most primitive and closest to the original Buddha's teaching and base on what I learn, Buddha has never tell people not to have sex or marriage. He did provide a guidelines on what is the right behaviour for married couples and responsibility towards sexual activities.

If abstenance is what you referring to regarding sex, then it only applies to monkhood when a person put more commitment to rid of worldly cravings and attain inner peace.

I agree with you that nothing is permanant and unchangeable and one thing you need to know is that marriage is more of a financial contract and not one base on love. those getting married for love alone will more likely to fail which will lead to your prediction of divorce.

In maariage, one commits to building a family, reproduction of next generation and take care of your life partner till death do us part. This means that one must give and continue to provide for a marriage to work. Don't you realise that marriage base on love fails because one of both sides failing to give and prefers to wait for the other side to contribute? Blaming on impermanance is a lazy excuse for failure.

Marriage is not a concept of God because marriage also occurs in ancient times at places where God did not exist.

Obviously, you have never heard of the eight precepts when you speak in this manner.

The Buddha actively encouraged monks and lay followers to put commitment to rid of cravings (craving is worldly, by the way) and attain unworldly happiness.
