Re: The woman of Buddha Sakyamuni
Give it all to me. You have no ego, no I, you renounce to everything. So give it all to me, your politics, your religion, your institutions, your commerce, your industries. You don't want it. You don't want to suffer, you don't want to rule, you are nothing. That is the true meaning of renounciatio...

Re: The woman of Buddha Sakyamuni
Greetings Ana, If you wish to discuss something, please do so without attacking other participants. It is entirely unneccessary and irrelevant to the point that you seem to be trying to make. Metta, Retro. :) Is that your son? You have that picture for a long time now It's a beautiful picture. So k...

Re: The woman of Buddha Sakyamuni
Greetings Ana Taken from your site And then the sex of your body doesn't speak for you, it doesn't says who you really are. We are all men, everybody is a man but Buddha. Buddha is the only woman. She who is like the Sun. She who warms like fire. I would like to challenge this if i may, Buddha is n...

Re: The woman of Buddha Sakyamuni
Enlightenment comes naturally. After many reincarnations. You can't stop being something. You can't stop being yourself. You can't provoke it. So in the meantime while you are still a man and a woman and not Buddha, be true, be genunine, be authentic. Nothing doesn't exist, that's why you try and yo...

Re: The woman of Buddha Sakyamuni

The woman of Buddha Sakyamuni
The woman of Buddha must have been the most unhappy human being in the world. She knew an enlightened person who didn't help her at all. It feels like cutting your wrists. What else? Woman must be very bad to be treated this way by an enlightened being. Why existing then? There is no need to exist. ...

Re: Women can be Buddha
i just dont think you get it.... look, i will never be a Sammasambuddha, probably no one on this board will be either (sorry :embarassed: ) but thats really not the point of buddhism as taught in theravada, it's not really the big deal youre making it out to be. Ola, how are you? maybe you're right...

Re: Women can be Buddha
It is impossible for a woman to be a Buddha but it is possible for a woman to be a fully enlightened arahant. and why is it impossible? give me a valid explanation. I already gave mine but it was deleted. Besides, you all speak about non dualiasm but in this issue of being impossible for a woman to...

Yes, but are you Theravadin? (see Tex's intro post) Metta, Retro. :) to be quite honest.... I don't know the distinction I am here with my heart I once died because of the need for a definition :shrug: poet poet poet it was silly, I did wrong I realized defining yourself or anything is not really i...

The Feminine
"Men are superior and women are inferior" :cry: :console: Actually it's quite the opposite: "the feminine is the beginning of everything and man is the end of himself". I explain, man is greedy and ambitious by nature, he is naturally farer from spirituality while woman is inhere...
