Lilac oranges Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 is anyone out there buddist or studying buddhism? i would like to learn more about this religon but due to a conservitive home town and some very Catholic parents and school, i can't get much info. i'm partically intrested in Theravacla and zen. so if anyone has any info or mantra's or anything like that please post them. Sentinent beings are numberless. i vow to save them. desires are endless. i vow to put an end to them. the dharmas are boundless.i vow to master them. the buddha way is unattainable. i vow to attain it.

Ravenstorture Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 [color=darkgreen][font=gothic]I don't know much about Bhuddism, I did stay at a bhuddist retreat for a while, my mother is bhuddist. It was beautiful there. Here is some wonderful bhuddist artworks for you... [url]http://www.buddhanet.net/ftp01.htm[/url][/color][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transtic Nerve Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 I've studied some Buddhism in Mythology and Humanities. But I've never gone in depth in my study.

Dan L Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Lilac oranges [/i] [B]Sentinent beings are numberless. i vow to save them.[/B][/QUOTE] I have that same thought all the time.. but my definition of "save" is most likely different from yours *points to avatar* Still, I respect everyone's opinions, even if I do not necessarily hold them. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by genkai[/i] [B]im a fusion of buddhist, christian, and taoist[/B][/QUOTE] I don't quite see how that is. I have no idea what a taoist is, but buddhism and christianity are quite fundamentally different. Buddhism looks into the self to find enlightenment, and Christianity looks to Jesus Christ to find salvation, and acknowledges that the 'self' is helpless on it's own. Are you [i]really[/i] a fusion of the three, or just more of a pick and mix, choosing to believe certain parts of each? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genkai Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 Good point.. Yeah, it's the latter.. Which really can be a fusion.. Fusing the belief in christ and the elements of buddhism really isnt that strange. By looking into yourself for enlgightenment, you can still trust Jesus to guide you... I wont really go into taoism.. So I guess im a fusion and a pick and choose person..O_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 Im suprised. In all honesty taoism is not too complex. But truely knowing it... that is complex. If you want to hear about the tao, please write me a pm. I would love to explain it to someone truely intrested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 Well, even though I dont really like to run my mouth about it, taoism is a great philosophy in my opinion. Its a religious belief to most, but thats all in a matter of the way you personally take it. Any way, about "the tao." It would be hard to explain it and get the points across properly, but I will try to put it in super simple, laymans terms. Only there is one catch, you have to contact me privatly. You can reach me with an instant message. My aol screen name is kentahoggatt, or you can email me at [email][email protected][/email]. I really do want to explain, but not for a bunch of people on the boards. Just those who are really intrested. I look forward to your contacting me, so please hurry about it, Im dying to try and explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as far as the Fusion thing, I think he means one of his parents is a Christian and the other is buddhist. I'm I correct? And as to find stuff on Buddhism, I just searched on google.com and found this site for ya. [url]http://www.buddhanet.net/[/url] and [url]http://online.sfsu.edu/~rone/Buddhism/Buddhism.htm[/url] You can search of google.com to find some more stuff if you want.

Kent Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 No actually, taoism is real, and an intresting thing. Go do a search. Youll find it. Also if your really intrested, just hit my email link above. I could explain a little. But dont worry about insults, not knowing it exist isnt an insult.

Genkai Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 Yes, the Tao is very real.. There's some good books to introduce you to Taoism, and some bad ones... I personally do NOT suggest reading "The Tao of Pooh" or "The Te of Piglet". They're sweet books, but a bad intro to the tao... But you don't have to jump for the Tao Te Ching right away or anything... hmm.. well, the fastest and cheapest and easiest.......get in touch with kent!!! lol. well, yeah, we're getting a bit of the buddhism subject, lol... next post, i'll PROMISE to be back on topic ^^' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
