I like spicy food and Ramen. Do you mean the Ramen noddles in the plastic cellophane? Actually I prefer making it myself and in a plate. :)

One refrain said: "Rich is not the one that have more but is the one that need less." I like that, but I still need a lot of needless stuff to feed my ego, so I'm not very rich for now :)

I take this from other place: Siddhartha lived an extremely sheltered life because his father, a king, was told by a seer that his son would either become a great king or an enlightened sage. Wanting desperately to make his son become a great king…

Of course, we all know about he book Quantum and the Lotus? Or is that ancient history now...? I know NOTHING really about science as a whole. Or in general. Or at all, even..... :D Really good book, but misleading tittle tough. The original tittle …

Land management researchers have heavily criticized the concepts of holistic management (that is what Allan Savory was talking about) because experiments conducted on grazed land in many different places in the last few decades have failed to find a…

@ArthurbodhiYes, yes it is needed, children need protein from meat when growing and even adults need it to help heal wounds Actually we require certain amino acids, fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins in specific amounts. That's all. It doesn't matt…

This is a extract from a book about Chinese Buddhist pantheon that I have: "The reasons for these female emanations are because of the then Confucianist influence on the attitude, customs and social systems which discouraged the female population f…

When i said 'before' i meant before we 'die'.. I agree that anything 'before' death, is all we have! So if we are sick - thats all we have .. If we are old - thats all we have! So my question still arises; why not just accept this reality and en…

Octopus is a mollusk. Very tasty. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octopus And very intelligent, some compare it with that of dogs. Here a small octopus gives a walk on dry land and leaves a souvenir to some tourists (maybe) :)

Why enjoy life before? That states are intrinsic with life. When we born we start to get sick, get old and dying, that don't happens later in life. If you what to enjoy life you need to do it meanwhile you are getting sick, getting old and dying. N…

@Invincible_summer - exactly, nothing bad to try to being more "present" or be more mindfulness. The error is think that the present moment is the only reality that exist, independent from other moment in time. The Special Relativity theory actually…

Omg, I think that I totally disagree with this video!...err...nah, actually is a good idea and is noble, good bye friend.

Depend of what is a scientific prove for you, for science a theory is something already being supported by facts. So you only need information about the Special Relativity theory and his implications in time perception to have the prove that past, f…

And the truth is, that is the only reality there is! (This *right now*) (Only my opinion) Not true according to science, that say the "right now" moment is just a illusion, not more real that past or future. Time. Not. Reality is weird :) Wha…

I'm just reading this book, really good, BTW the author also is the filmmaker of the movie "The Cup". Something peculiar is that the title of this book in Spanish is " Tu también puedes ser budista", that is " You also can be a Buddhist". :)

"What Buddha Taught" by Walpola Rahula and "Mindfulness in Plain English" by Henepola Gunaratana are really good. Also "The Monk and the Philosopher" and "In Defense of Happiness" from Matthieu Ricard are outstanding.

We now know that meat consumption is on the rise, so he was dead wrong. Maybe he wasn't dead wrong after all :) http://vegnews.com/articles/page.do?pageId=4916&catId=1

Matthieu Ricard is a teacher that I really appreciate. I learned a lot from his books and talks. You can see him in TED. http://www.ted.com/talks/matthieu_ricard_on_the_habits_of_happiness.html

Just watch out for the lack of B12 which is mainly gain from meat and dairy products. If you eat healthy (and not have any genetic b12 deficient diseases) B12 never will be a problem in your life until you get really old when consume supplements i…

Hunter gatherer, eh? That does sound a bit nuts :lol: But the negative effect of agriculture on the environment has been well documented and widely studied. So maybe a crank took it a little too far :lol: but it doesn't make it any less true. No it …

"The vegetarian diet is praised for being sustainable and animal-friendly, but after 20 years of being vegan, Keith has a different take. She argues that agriculture is a relentless assault against the planet. In service to annual grains, humans hav…

We can believe that Raman Maharishi was enlightened or that this Lama or that Zen master is enlightened. As long as we are puthujjana/prithagjana (worldly persons), we cannot distingish an aryan (a spiritual person) from a non-arayn. It is only wit…

Thanks, really interesting collection.

^ He's the head of a formal religious group, and seen by many in the world to be Buddhism's leading figure. Size is relative. And I like him and respect what he says, but I see a significant conflict in what he is and what he says in the example …

I like what H. H. Dalai Lama said: "This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples, no need for complication. One's own mind, one's own heart is the temple, and loving-kindness is the philosophy." I like what he said, too. So, if he re…

Why does this belief that the Buddha taught "no-self" keep coming up? I've always been told the Buddha taught a Middle Way between "no-self" and a permanent, immutable self, and that he thought "no-self" was wrong view. But maybe this is a topic fo…

I love fake Buddha quotes :)
