Re: What is this knowledge for?
What is this knowledge for? I just started to think about why I am so engrossed in Buddhism. I feel that Sutta's study is mainly for monks. I just wondered whether there is much practical usage for laypeople. Is the exploration of Buddhism any different to the exploration of otherworldly pursuits? ...

Re: Your Dhamma Verses Here.
Many rounds of merriment and pleasure past, soon it will be evening.
Drunk with tears now, rest and see, soon it will be too late to finish the journey

I don’t get why this kind of thing is even uploaded to YouTube.

Re: Christian-Buddhism?
From a Christian perspective where would the historical Buddha be going upon death if there was no knowledge of God or sin?

Re: Christian-Buddhism?
Greetings Mr. Man, Well if you perceive yourself that way it is your prerogative. But to me it would seem that you are giving Christianity the pole position and essentially you are a Christian and not a Buddhist. Interesting, since I don't seem to have stopped doing anything that I was doing prior,...

Re: Christian-Buddhism?
Greetings, Do you belive there could be a Buddhist-Christian then Paul? Well, yeah, because that's what I am, and I think I've given a pretty comprehensive demonstration of what that looks like for me. As for a Christian Buddhist, I'm not so sure how that would work, as the scope of Buddhism is nar...

Re: Christian-Buddhism?
I personally think that the idea of being a Buddhist Christian or Christian Buddhist is a nonsense as the fundamentals just don't correlate. Being a Christian who finds value in some aspects of Buddhist teaching or practice or finds it intellectually stimulating or enjoyable, I can understand. And v...

Re: Christian-Buddhism?
Thanks for the questions. A couple more if that is okay? How does your relationship with God work? Is it inferred or direct or both? If it is direct how does it manifest? How do you experience god directly? I'm also interested in what it means to be baptized, I have quite worked out what I want to ...

Re: Christian-Buddhism?
retrofuturist I'd be interested to hear about your Christian practice, if you interested in sharing (without proselytizing). Do you collectively perform good works? Do you do group bible studies? Attend a church? Take sacrament? Or is your practice more introverted. Do you pray & if so how do yo...

Re: Christian-Buddhism?
Greetings, That's so cryptic, you'd give Cappuccino a run for his money. Care to elaborate? Metta, Paul. :) Well…. You never struck me as having a heart felt connection with Buddhism or Buddhist practice. It would seem that being a new Christian aligns more closely with your worldview and who you a...
