How can anyone think he understand buddhism more than others

jll

From my point of view, you seem totally confused.
but it does not matter. as long as you dont give up,
your understanding of Mr siddharta will deepen as time
passes. good luck.

@thickpaper , thank you for your comment and help.....

@SherabDorje ,

@thickpaper-
So @goshiki, if you don't think anyone can teach about Buddhism, why don't you just let the idea go out of your mind and get on with your life without learning about Buddhism?

I think I had answer it above posting , I am sorry if 'taken" your time here perhaps is my shortcoming in explaning my views /awareness of why I in my current awareness believe Buddhism cannot be taught .
Let me show you an example , Dalai Lama .
He in his own method , his own will searching for his own Buddha as me , is always me to learn from him of what he said , of his action of his "wisdom" to fit in my awareness same way I learn from cat or mouse , same respect and same mmanner .
Is always me to learn from others as is always you to learn from me and me to learn from you . In no condition Dalai Lama should regard himself greater than other and teaching other of Buddhism that he found in his own purification ......As he will never possibily know the awareness of the cat or mouse in Buddhism . Perhaps they know more than him , perhaps you know your own Buddha more than him but surely I will never think to know my Buddha more than you or the cat or the tree , that is my perception of Buddhism now......

@dorje wow is busy here I am just back from dinner is abt 8pm here in Malaysia .Sir you are trying to "reach" me , trying to "show" me what you know , trying to point on something you think is not right on me , trying to teach me , trying to make me believe etc . Sir as I said before knowing Buddha is to know own awareness by being awake . Not to influence others perhaps we are not in the same boat as I am here to learn but you are more eager to teach . As I am ready to change if only you could move me with your knowledge , our awareness perhaps by discussion etc but I am reason to believe you are more "defending" ourself of what you know ......
If in such case , I think I could only respect our differences and learned as much as I can without any discussion from my side .

Thks Sir .

If you're talking to me, I just read this thread out of idle curiosity and post in it pretty much for lack of anything else to do. I just got up from my nap and noticed there was new activity in the thread. Now I'm going to make a cup of coffee and either watch TV or play a video game.

I'm not trying to teach you anything, and it's apparent to me that you fail to see my distinction between knowing "about" Buddhism and "knowing Buddha". You are actually correct in saying that only the individual him/her self can "know Buddha". But when and how did you learn that Buddha and Buddhism even existed?

This has been a confusing thread. That's easy when someone refuses to even read the teachings of the Buddha (of any tradition) and argues Buddhism can not be taught, as well as confusing "Buddhism" with "Nirvana" (or Emptiness) consistently, calling the latter "Buddha" and saying it must be known for one's self (which we all know if we call it Nirvana!). It may be language barrier, but @goshiki / @CSEe has tried over and over to our vast disappointment and can not understand the rebuttles to his arguments.

Anyway, he was banned and wasn't meant to return, so... @goshiki is gone.
Case closed.
