Re: Pictures that prove Australia is the Craziest
Tasmanian Tiger Snake giving a skink a lift. What a great image! As is the one of Ben re-posted by Modus.Ponens. We have several snakes at home. My partner has been keeping them for decades. (All have the proper permits and none are venomous; all are handled with great care.) Yes, I have a current ...

Re: Pictures that prove Australia is the Craziest
Indeed Australia is the craziest country. Just look at this strange man handling a dangerous snake and smiling as if it was a puppy. I think I've seen him before... :P http://www.dhammawheel.com/viewtopic.php?t=16705#p238415" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick=&qu...

Re: Did God create everything that exists?
Frankly, 'God' in its manifestations (human and mythological) throughout human history has been a vehicle for terror and suffering that is unparalleled.
I never hope to meet such a nasty, narcissistic and psychopathic being.

Re: Pictures that prove Australia is the Craziest
... Kim, Kim, Kim, Kim... You really know how to be a party pooper, don't you! Sorry! :embarassed: Maybe I've been a teacher too long, so that swatting the untruthful has become automatic, but I think I just like spiders and don't like seeing them maligned. Actually, one of my kids who is visiting ...

Re: Benefits of meditation - scientific study
I have just seen this on ABC TV's science programme, Catalyst. No great surprises for most of us here - yes, it does work! - but nice to see the kinds of research going on and to get the endorsement of the scientific and medical professionals. http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/4477405.htm :nam...

Re: About romantic relationships
There are many wonderful Buddhist practitioners and teachers engaged in romantic relationships. I think this is because there is often much more clinging and aversion in avoiding romantic relationships than there is in maintaining them. Relationships can also provide a lot of opportunities for prac...

Re: Tibetan "Buddhism" speaking of Theravada
I think this has a precedent in the Buddhavamsa, on which I've actually just created a thread (that I wouldn't mind seeing merged with this one, since the topics are essentially the same). The Buddhavamsa lists one of the conditions of becoming a samma-sambuddha as being a man and not a woman or in...
