'smh' by the way means 'shaking my head'

Your second post shows blank for me, and I can't speak for Chownah, but I'm guessing your use of the phrase "figuratively give you cancer" might come across as a bit insolent to a person who actually has cancer, or has a loved on with cancer.
Just sayin'.

many figures of speech have offensive origins. well, my intention wasn't to make fun of people with cancer.

smh at the view that killing other beings leads to rebirth in heaven.

smh at the view that sex equals happiness.

smh at the view that there is no kamma, no rebirth, and no result of generosity...

smh = shaking my head :shrug:
smdh = shaking my damn head :shrug:

:namaste:
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

The view that judging others' views is the proper focus.

The view that "all paths lead to the same mountaintop."

Buddhism holds that anyone can get to heaven leading a moral life and precepts from any religion, but the ultimate Nibbana is through the Buddhist path of Right View.

All roads lead to Everest base camp, but from there, Buddhism is the only route to the summit.

Some paths are going in the opposite direction, for example, those that advocate violence, especially against innocent ones.

Very true - how much time and effort do we waste doing that?
