    What Einstein did say : The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism.

  • Buddhism makes sense. It encourages people to seek knowledge.

  • 10 people did not have the capacity to understand this.

  • Kya Hindu kisi janam me boudh ke braber ho payeng

  • Very very very good

  • @uilium Yes, been wanting to do a retreat for 30 years so my intention to follow instructions was strong. Intention is paramount, since you must drop your story. Even after a few days it became just about impossible to attach a sense of permanence to mere weather patterns. Everything arising is so utterly transient. After a few retreats it's just newness replacing newness continuously, one's own brain weather being just part of all that. I was lucky to find the "shortcut" Luangpor Teean method.

  • @siamkarl I need to go on one of those if I want to see myself happening in that detail...sounds like you were speed reading yourself. Since you mentioned it, could you see or experience the 3 marks of existence in yourself?

  • @uilium yes, I was 58 when I did my first vipassana retreat in a forest monastery in Thailand. After a few days I actually saw myself happening in micro-detail for long periods, felt 80 lbs lighter, and slapped my head in amazement. Why was I never told about this stress-free first-person domain during my long decades of expensive education in the West?

  • Fantastic lecture!

  • Un poco cientifista para mi gusto, pero no deja de ser una perspectiva muy hermosa. Aprendí un poco más del pensamiento budista gracias :)
