    I adore and am thankful for the lecture. But, what if the demon gets bigger because of your niceness? making them proud that their disgusting manners are the right way to get things their way?

    @minip64 Great if you have passed through all the fairy dust and found the essence behind all the veils of sophistry and solipsistic poetry. Heart Sutra is to be applied to all the fairy dust in Buddhism as well as to Heart Sutra itself. Meditating on being itself produces love.

    @EnvyAbomination

    Thank you for your comment. I watched Seung Sahn’s video on your profile page. Yes, I should get hit by stick 30 times Just yesterday, I gave water to a thirsty person!

    Very good speech! =/

  11. yankeejat66 mówi:

    For me, the four noble truths and the eightfold path is all that is important.

    Of course I didn’t mean to imply that understanding is a shopping list to be ticked off through travel and books. I meant to say than the only consistent thing about Buddhism( in the varieties, geographic and historical, that I’ve seen) is its inconsistency.Of course you can now rap about inconsistent consistencies, but without all the sophistry Buddhism is solipsistic poetry in a most morbidly obsessed state.regular people meditate all the time on being and love just minus the fairy dust.

  13. yankeejat66 mówi:

    I have read somewhere that Buddhism is all about uncertainty and being comfortable with that and that would include ‘meaning of life’ and all other indefinable and subjective phrases. It won’t be so just by watching a talk etcetera etcetera but by actually experiencing it yourself at the deepest level and for it, you will need to meditate.

    i needed to hear this today!

    I think you have a very warm and welcoming personality.

    Very least makes you think and try and be a better human

  17. minip64 mówi:

    If you watch a talk, watch buddhist posts,travel to buddhist countries,spend hours listening and talking to buddhists and buddhist friends(all of which I have done) and find little but conflated concepts, undefinable terms,sophistry and nonsense passing as a philosophy one can pass a verdict on a video by a man who, if one listens closely,is trading ambiguity as insight and super ego/ego obsessions as erudition. The ‘meaning of life’ – just another of those indefinable and subjective phrases

  18. doctormoo mówi:

    From your comment, you dont seem to understadn teh meaning of life. Dont criticise people if you dont understand what is the purpose and meaning of the talk.

    Thank you for your suggestion.

  21. minnicat190 mówi:

    may i suggest minimizing your screen and simply listening to this talk? very rewarding…

  22. anglaismoyen mówi:

    Hey, it’s 6 months on. Are things any better now? Are you still listening to Ajahn Brahm? I’m just asking because I sympathise.

  23. anglaismoyen mówi:

    Of course Buddha is dead. Ajahn Brahm even said in his rituals video that when he bows to the statue he knows it’s just a statue, it’s simply a reminder of respect to the Buddha’s wisdom.

  24. almkelkoo mówi:

    You say Buddah is dead yet I have never felt so alive since I start believing in his teachings…………Take care brother.

  25. QUIETEXPECTATIONS mówi:

    Obviously there are many people that just can’t take their own spiritual evolvment seriously. Sad. As for those of us who do, I suppose that it’s ‘find a quiet spot and be there’… confronting those unfortunate enough not to know that life can be sweeter only seems to make them even angrier and give them more pain.
