Re: Buddha appear lagging behind Jesus & Mohammed

Do we need more planets in our solar system? Is planet a simile for more religions in your statement above? If so, then I agree, we don't need any more religions or new religious movements. If you notice, virtually all of the New Religious Movements over the last few hundred years were just various...

Re: The Sri Lankan political and religious landscape is changing!

Perhaps some of you can recall I have mentioned a new leader emerging in Sri Lanka. His name is Anura Disanayaka and he is tipped to be the next president of Sri Lanka when the next Presidential election is held in September 2024. Reminder, politics can be discussed, but only in the news & poli...

Re: Buddhist Puritanism

I am sorry I missed your point. How is the cow connected to Puritanism? Could you simply explain your point? Hamas claims that imported red cows from the US, hence they launched their attack, which led to a campaign bordering genocide (another term for a purity of some sort) https://en.wikipedia.or...

Re: Buddhist Puritanism

In terms of the different schools of Buddhism, almost any sect could potentially be called "Buddhist Puritanism." For example; EBT - wants to get back to the original texts, implying they are original Buddhism, i.e., the most pure. Classical Theravada - Pali Canon and Commentaries, the onl...

The video I shared is from searching it
rambutan and radix were discussing how she wipes when using the toilet. So you were googling for answers to that and that is how you found this psychic?

Nibbana in the Visuddhimagga

Visuddhimagga Ch.XVI para.68 68. Again, it should not be said that Nibbána does not exist. Why not? Because it then follows that the way would be futile. [508] For if Nibbána were nonexistent, then it would follow that the right way, which includes the three aggregates beginning with virtue and is h...

Re: Are You prepared For an earthquake?

... No date mentioned in that video. There have been many major earthquakes in history and there will be many more in the future. There is no psychic skill in predicting that. If they can predict the exact date, that would be something incredible, but they never do. The 2004 earthquake just off the...
