Where is Buddha today and what is he doing now?

[Kinana]

You mean Buddha is in heaven today? Is there heaven in Buddhism? What is he doing there?

 

[fishbuff]

you mean god can forgive hitler if he utter a word of repetence, but an atheist who have made much contributions to the human society will be burnt in hell?

is your god abit cuckoo, egomaniac, and narcissistic?

 

[Kinana]

I asked first bro

 

[khunking]

What good is the promise of Heaven in the afterlife when your current existence is a living hell?

Christianity is not about deeds and acts but more importantly faith.

If it were anything like doing good deeds to gain salvation, that is like any other religion.

If humans can set the universal rule, why do we need God because we are god ourselves!

If we are god, why do we need to do such things?

Think about it!

 

[Baluku]

Yes my Buddhist brothers. You still cant tell us where Buddha is and what is he doing now.

Buddha cant help himself how can he help you?

Zubin metta?

 

[Baluku]

What good is the promise of Heaven in the afterlife when your current existence is a living hell?

Because afterlife is super longer than life on earth?

And it is eternal.

 

[YellowRibbon]

Im a free thinker...

The best religion of all

any science to back this up? or is it something you pull out from a children story book?

God standards are much higher than men's standards. He is the ultimate judge. We men are not qualified to judge.

Put it another way, if a person have been doing good deeds for all his lives, do you think he is entitled to murder another person?

You got see testimonies that people came back from the brink of death and tell you about the light at the end of tunnel?

Have you ever heard people who have been dead and came back telling you they were reincarnated from someone else?

Science is just a finite of knowledge, when you start to learn about Jesus, that finite knowledge is extended because it covers just more than Petra dish life. Science came from men, it is only natural that science is limited because you know men's knowledge is limited, that is why men needs to learn and learn and learn.

Whereas the wisdom of God has withstood the test of time for thousands of years.

i read those encounters on the net of NDE, near death experience.. same goes to healing from witch doctors and roving preachers.

but the bible never cover reincarnation, so will you rule this option out totally since it is not biblical?

science if finite, no doubt about that. but if you extend your belief into superstition and illogical supernatural beings and extra ordinary claims, then that is where the danger lies. Learn yes, belief no.

The saying goes; if you don't reason your belief, then you belief without reason.

so it is best to rule all unsubstantiated superstitious ideas out, then accept all proven concepts in gradually.

This is a well known atheist that is trying to ruffle some feathers in here. He does not truely believe in god nor does he believe in anything other then himself. I won't be bothering trying to explain to him about Theravada buddishm. As its been pretty obvious he tries to ignore everything that was put forward to him in the other threads. Yes, I think he is an atheist that is out to have some fun here that is all.

Friend, when all phenomena are not-self, how do you expect me to answer your questions that assume the existence of the inviolable intrinsic essence of an individual? In Theravada Buddhism, your questions are invalid questions.

As I had said, when this phenomenon exist, that phenomenon also exists; when this phenomenon doesn't exist, that phenomenon also doesn't exist. This principle does not assume the existence of the inviolable intrinsic essence of an individual.

 

[Kinana]

Alright my Budhist frens. So where is Buddha now n what is he doing; This is not a trick question so dont worry

 

[kryonlight]

if that is the case, you too are also fleeting and fickle according to your definition and cannot tell where you are and what you are doing now right?

When old age and dementia sets in, there is a very high possibility that this may happen.

you mean you are suffering dementia now?

even if you do, you are still at a specific place at a specific time whether you remember or not.

even if you do, you are still at a specific place at a specific time whether you remember or not.

Being at a specific place at a specific time doesn't negate the fact that the five aggregates are subject to change and alteration. Which part of you is not subject to change and alteration?

 

[Kinana]

Yes, you can change your position over time, but you are at one place at a time.
So where is Buddha now n what is he doing? You don't know just say so my fren. There is no shame

 

[Alamaking]
