"Dhamma Verses" -- from the Suttas? Or from any feel-good source?
Because from the replies, it is looking like the latter.

Re: Nibbana Pre Buddhism Roots
Among non-buddhists, there is a fairly common myth that Buddhism developed from Hinduism, but this is not so. At the time of Buddhism there was Brahmanism (which would later evolve to modern Hinduism) and even that religion was quite diametrically different to the Buddha's Dhamma. Brahmanism/Hinduis...

Re: Is it possible that all the beings will attain Nibbana one day?
Enlightenment is a state of Metta and Love, I believe. Yes, those are good qualities and found in arahants, but it's not just that. It's wisdom (paññā) too; the understanding of DO forwards and backwards, recollection of past lives and numerous other good qualities and Insight which you won't find ...

Re: Is it possible that all the beings will attain Nibbana one day?
Can all the Monkeys attain Nibbana? :tongue: One day? No, they don't have the cognition to understand the Dhamma. They can be reborn as humans or devas, where they could attain enlightenment, but not while still a monkey. And this is why the idea that all beings can attain enlightenment at once is ...

Piya Tan's Mahayana as religious fiction
Piya Tan's reflection for this week: Mahāyāna as religious fiction [download R852] Excerpt from SD 60.3: Pilinda Sutta © Piya Tan 2023. 3.1.6.1 When, as a young Buddhist (the 1980s), I was learning Mahāyāna Buddhism from western teachers, I was often told to “suspend our belief (or disbelief)” and l...

Re: Are You prepared For an earthquake?
Most people don't live in an area known for earthquakes. Even for those who do, the "big ones" typically only happen once every 40 to 400 years. For those who live in hurricane and typhoon areas, they can come once every one to three years. However, at least with a hurricane/typhoon, you c...

Re: Right livelihood
In just about any job one can still make progress. Almost all (legitimate) jobs involve some kind of benefit or goods and services to people. For example, a person who works for the garbage removal company does a big service to people living in houses and apartments by removing their garbage in a sa...

Re: Nas Daily on Buddhism
Money corrupts. And this man seems to have plenty of it. No, it's how you use it. A car could run someone over to kill them or it could be used to drive safely to a destination. Anathapindika was a very wealthy banker-capitalist. He donated the large land to the Sangha for the monastery and other b...

Re: Nas Daily on Buddhism
We cannot look up to him as some sort of Buddhist Teacher. He is neither a Bhikkhu or a Layperson by Buddhist terms by his own calling. He never claimed to be a Buddhist teacher or even an upasaka. He is a secular Muslim, interested in a variety of topics, including religion. Sheez, haters gonna ha...
