It says zero views. I feel special.

Give up all forms of parrotry. Start practicing whatever you truly feel to be true and justly to be just. Do not make a show of your faith and beliefs. You have not to give up your religion, but to give up clinging to the husk of mere ritual and ceremony. To get to the fundamental core of Truth underlying all religions, reach beyond religion.

This is what our monks do in the temples every morning:

"Buddhist forest monks chanting the morning puja"

So, so true......all the statues / books etc. of Buddhism can be destroyed as they are only material....but we must NEVER allow the teaching and essence of Buddhism be destroyed....as then that would REALLY have destroyed Buddhism.

'Mentally undeveloped person'. Do you realize that Ajhan Brahm is a holder of a first class degree in Theoretical physics (if you know what that is), from Cambridge. You certainly are a very confused person.

those who know does not talk those who asked have more question than answer. Still your mind and lower your ego than your question will be answer.

How could you be sure your way of rational could save yourself from the hellfire ? There is nothing in this world is absolute right and absolute wrong. It's your perception that makes it to be what you are to become. The monks chose their life so they can gain wisdom and compassion from humiliation, they put down their ego so no dukka can disturb them.

This is even more confusing.

The Buddists who are scared to face the realitites of the world become monk, and depend on others for their survival!

How can such a metally undeveloped person help others?

Please see this video if it might answer ur question, "Alms Round in North Hollywood". The monk supposed to act as Psychologist, they used what they learned from themself by using buddha teaching to apply in life then they support ppl. in need for mental health, and daily life problem.

Whn meditate just b aware of any sensure feeling, etc. during medit. if craving comes up, u can't get rid of craving, u just be aware of if. b aware of every feelings. Zen master says when u e hungry, u eat; when ur thirsty, u drink; when u want 2 sleep, u sleep. tha't is. That's buddhism, teaching. Just accept nature with moral, u learns buddhism, u learn about ur own mind, the nature of life. when 1 can't realize the suffering of life they become victimize.

[impermanentoo]

Phenomena are preceded by the heart, ruled by the heart made of the heart. If you speak or act with a corrupted heart, suffering follows you, as the wheel of the cart the track of the ox that pulls it. Phenomena are preceded by the heart, ruled by the heart, made of the heart. If you speak or act with a calm, bright heart, then happiness follows you, like a shadow that never leaves.. (Dhammapada verses 1 & 2)
