Don't bag Buddhist methods and sutras

edited June 2011 in Buddhism Basics
Remember not to bag Buddhist sutras and practice methods just because you don't like them or you don't understand.

Practice the basic principles to heal your mental afflicitions first, so your concentration, morality and mood improves. Then investigate and choose a method that you like, stick with it but do not bag others like it's a competition!

Prostration
Chanting
reciting the Buddha's name
offerings

have been practiced by highly cultivated Monastics and lay practitioners for thousands of years, so it's not wise to bag anything just because of our own ego!

It's for your own good homeboys!!!

Good bye forum!!!!

    "just because you don't like them or you don't understand."

    I do think its silly to cricize something which you have never practiced. Or don't understand. Or have no other reason to criticize other than not liking the notion of something without any rational basis of criticism.
