Greetings Cappuccino,

Are you suggesting the Buddha "misread" too?

Greetings James, This may assist... "From the origination of name-&-form is the origination of the mind. From the cessation of name-&-form is the cessation of the mind." Thus, just as in the Dhamma we are taught to see consciousness as something that arises and passes away, rather than "the consciou...

Greetings,

In light of the likelihood that this is a "misguided" project, rather than actual fraud, I'm going to close the topic and remove any links to the initiative.

Thank you paul, for your investigation.

Metta,
Paul.

Greetings, If you get through the first seven steps of the Noble Eightfold Path first, the need for Samma Samadhi will be self-evident. If you don't get through the first seven steps of the Noble Eightfold Path first, then meditation is not redundant (since redundant implies replaced by something ne...

your view is no self

hence you believe in annihilation

"No self" doesn't mean annihilation, per se.

"Self" being destroyed, resulting in "No Self".... that's annihilation.

Greetings Sean, Let me first say, based on what you have written, I am pleased you're not doing the 20 day course. OK, on with your questions. Do you guys feel depressed, lonely and hopeless about life sometimes? Lonely, no. Hopeless about life, no. Depressed? Well, I do experience Seasonal Affected...

Greetings James, I appreciate the suggestion but, in the spirit of not assuming the worst, I prefer to give people a chance to demonstrate the connection, before concluding the worst. Making this inquiry also makes it possible to make an appropriate referral to either DWM, DWE or Dharma Paths, as th...

Greetings,

That sort of explains what the topic is about, but it establishes no connection to Theravada Buddhism. This may possibly be more suited to Dharma Wheel Engaged?

Metta,
Paul.

Greetings,

Without making me watch a video, can you please explain what this topic is actually about, and what connection there is to Theravada Buddhism?

Thank you.

Metta,
Paul.

Greetings Zolbec, I am interested in reading a book by Bhikkhu Bodhi (In The Buddha's Words). As you know, it's not a beginner's book. It's an intermediate book. So which books do you recommend to me before this book? I wouldn't let that deter you. If you're going to develop Right View, you're going...

I mean a place for us to placate the assembly of devas.

Surely this is something that the suttas condone as wholesome?

Create a topic in the Shrine Room then?

Paul.

Karmically, that is?

No.

And since that point is uncontested, and the conversation is veering off into politics and general worldliness, it will be closed.

If anyone has anything worthwhile to add to the topic, please send me a PM.

Metta,
Paul.

Greetings, Should we have a special assembly for the Devas here? We have no distinction in this regard at Dhamma Wheel between the male/female, ordained/lay assemblies - it's all the same access, with the same forums. That said, if we get enough demand from devas for a special assembly, we'll seriou...
