Who have read or listened to passages of the Gospel of Judas?

Hmmm.....if you really can say you do not have an ego (an ego is really hard to completely eradicate), yes that is true, but we all have one and when the ego is hurt it start to identify with the word hurt, and an hurt ego is more hard to tame is le…

Sutric references Vincenzi? As far as I've understood it, the stage of Anagami is beyond worldly pleasures, and an Anagami does not have sex. That's from all that I've studied and remembered, at least, even if I don't myself know where it's located …

(...) Hunab Ku (the Brahma of this Galaxy) exists... In your head maybe, but not mine. you deny that there is a center of a galaxy, and that the energy and matter that emanates from it exist? Buddh'ists are such an uptight group sometimes... do…
-
Yes, because the aim is to have a rebirth in Sudavasa Vihara (were only other anagamis reside). anagamis, like all enlightened beings, are such due to the eradication of self-view even so, the practicality of it... is that Sudavasa Vihara seems l…

Love is a complex human emotion. God is a figment of our imagination. Hunab Ku (the Brahma of this Galaxy) exists... there is personal proof/experience on my part (and it does not contradict anatta).
-
(...) However, it was the Buddha who redefined "God" as "love". Please refer to the Tevijja Sutta at the link. http://www.metta.lk/tipitaka/2Sutta-Pitaka/1Digha-Nikaya/Digha1/13-tevijja-e.html Regards :) I liked it. It reminds me of other…

What does the word "god" have to do with the word "love?" "God is love" was an attempt to reform religious doctrine (by the Christians), which failed miserably :hrm: God is love is the summary of some of the teachings of Jesus.
-
It's not about cooing and hugging and loving. It's about understanding. You understand that people are the way they are because they are suffering. Like what has been said. It's connectedness. Love is simply the wrong word. (...) that's karuna (comp…

mediocre western mind will not find the mind on the brain. it is rebirth, not reincarnation. anatta, anicca, dukkha.

@Mr Serenity sorry to say but your last post sounds like the kind of things conspiracy theorists regurgitate over and over again. Anyway as you say each to their own, if you want to believe then by all means do so. ad hominem, argument lacking,…

. ad hominem, next post... write an actual argument.

(...) The cool thing about that footage is that it shows how aliens can disappear and appear at will. They're very much in touch with the astral plane, with other dimensions, they can go through walls etc. They aren't restricted by the modern scienc…

What I am proposing is that the nordic mythologic of elves are rebirths from devanamanarati (Alfheim, Pleiades) that remembered their past lives there and had transhuman skills. among those skills is Galdr (bard magic). Please let me give you my ma…

@Mr Serenity Im sorry if I am sounding over critical, which I probably am. If you or someone else wants to believe it, of course that is fine, its up to you. All I am pointing out is that this aliens visiting earth theory has been around for so long…

Catholic priests are expected to live properly, die righteous, and go to heaven. While there is a sub-culture of mysticism in the Catholic church, it is not a prerequisite for Catholicism, and is rarely practiced. Buddhist monks and nuns, however,…

Could you provide a definition of "trishna", please, Vincenzi? Just as a reminder: the topic is celibacy in Buddhism in general (and by comparison, Catholicism). Problems and lack of adherence to the vow arise not only in Tibetan Buddhism, but in C…

Brahma Vihara :: Maitri ...another thing in common (if the BodhiDharma were theist).

both leaved as ascetics, Jesus in a desert and Shayamuni in forests.

@tjampel thanks for your valuable contribution. // there is no time to reply to just links nor replies that didn't adressed my arguments.

(...) The idea of a perfect creator is alien to Buddhism. (...) Jesus may stop believing in a creator god after its visit to Hades/Hellheim... and you don't understand an iota of gnostic christianism. you assume much.

@zidangus I don't accept your "gift", it is yours to keep.

Pleiadians are basically elves... and they will probably return in a few years. being a rebirth of Pleiades/Pleione... I consider myself one.
-
anāgamis are not sexually disfunctive... why is that simple fact so difficult to understand?
-
Vincenzi, Once Returners are not necessarily celibate. Maybe you can go for that instead . I wouldn't say that non-returners have aversion towards sex. It is just that lust have been uprooted in them. Again , the practice of celibacy and the like…

Zen is Satori.

if this world is tri years away from Diluvio... there is a need for a samyak Buddha.

AVERSION is a TRAP of samsāra... plz, this should be basic Dharma.

(...)Also, he is living a celibate life. That is another feature of a non-returner. according to which one's dogma? sutric reference missing. For Stream Enterer and Once Returner, they can be sexually active though. if becoming a Buddha means n…
-
so... women are automatically non-returners since they can't get an erection? arousal, erection, whatever :orange: maybe you are or want to be asexual, just don't push that view on others... and DO NOT pass it as Dharma.
-
for someone that understands anatta... rebirth is a non-issue, and undeniable part of the Dharma.
-
Also, he is living a celibate life. That is another feature of a non-returner. Absolutely. :om: :thumbsup: Because a non-returner has no sexual lust, a non-returner cannot have an erection passion is not lust. so... women are automatically non-…

Also, he is living a celibate life. That is another feature of a non-returner. Absolutely. :om: :thumbsup: you propose sexual disfunction as holy, that aspect of your stream of conciousness is... problematic.

in MN 115, Buddha said one of wrong view may acknowledge another teacher. But for one of right view, that is impossible :) http://www.dhammasukha.org/Study/Talks/Transcripts/MN-115-SUM03-TS.htm He understands: 'It is impossible, it cannot happen th…

at least an anāgami? anāgami = non-returner does not return to the world :facepalm: according to theravadins... neutral: broke the first five fetters AND had access to jhāna at will. using my terms: Jesus was a bodhigami ("Bodhi nature that …

but yes, he had christ-consciousness, and was able to teach... making Tathagata a Samyak Buddha. Non-sense Buddha lived 500 years before Christ :wtf: can you bend your mind past 0.9% to accomodate other's toughts... break the ego already!
-
@Dhamma Dhatu read the apocrypha, get your own conclusions. there was just one Judas, Magdalene was an apostol, Mother Mary was young (NOT virgin). the father of Jesus was either: Gabriel, Longinus (to use a recognizable name), or Joseph.
-
@Dakini "Vincenzi, why would a supposed resurrection indicate that Jesus was a Buddha? Do you really believe in the resurrection of Jesus?" today, I got proof that (the resurrected) Jesus is in Tathagathagarba... "among" (anatta) Shakyamuni.
-
Was Gotama a Christ? this is a buddhist forum. but yes, he had christ-consciousness, and was able to teach... making Tathagata a Samyak Buddha.
-
The Buddha said that the next Buddha is Maitreyya and he doesn't come for a while (when his dhamma completely disappeared for some time) . Perhaps Jesus is a bodhisattva but definitely not the next Buddha after Gautama Buddha. at least an anāgami?
-
Buddhist Cosmology this proves nothing, as I said you seem to be interpreting arupa-dhatu as some "place" rather than a state of mind the Buddha taught arupa-jhanas are conditioned states of mind or acts of will (rather than some "place") (...) a…

continued the evidence Jesus was not a Buddha is that Jesus explicity sought to reform a godly religion, i.e., Judaism, and entered the temples to claim them as his own, turning over tables and doing other forms of disruptive behaviour (...) he sa…
