Dealing With Difficult People

great talk, buddhism should be bout great laughter not stuffy doctrine, this guy manifests a lot of freedom

Very good speech! =/

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.

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.

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

if you were a zen monk, you'd get hit by a stick

@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!

You're welcome! :)


And thank you for giving that person some water. :)

@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.

i needed to hear this today!
