I am aware that it is not a mainstream teaching. But it is certainly within the bounds of some schools of Buddhism. Kundalini in Buddhism No. I believe Fohat is a different energy. There are three energies: prana, fohat and kundalini. I believe kundalini might be the equivalent of chi in...

I know very little about Buddhism and I am posting in this forum specifically to learn. So I invite you to tell me what kundalini connects to when it passes through the crown chakra.

It has occurred to me that if homosexuality was genetic, it would necessarily die out altogether because homosexual couples (of either gender) cannot procreate. So there must be some other factor. It is well known (to me anyhow) that many men marry and father children and later realize (or...

It takes courage for two reasons: (1) it is irreversible (2) no matter what you belief about the afterlife, you will never know until you get there. Are you in the habit of playing Russian roulette? Suicide is like playing Russian roulette with four or five bullets in the chamber rather than...

No doubt. I wonder then why Buddhism is always described as an atheistic belief system. I think many of the differences between religions are semantic rather than actual.

Thank you. I would agree with that.

LOL you are not wrong. I once knew a girl who had tattooed on her left breast a heart with initials of herself and current TEMPORARY boyfriend.

OK I'll bite. I invite you to tell me what God is not.

Yes it would be nice for God to have mercy on you. I trust he would.

Thanks for your comments. Please read my post again. No-one who has not themselves felt suicidal can understand the mindset of a suicidal person. Sometimes it is a conscious decision and takes a lot of courage to go through with it. In other cases it is done rashly without any hesitation. All...

Now why didn't someone tell me about that 40 years ago? It is a fact that I have to a considerable degree wasted my time and energy seeking answers to such questions as are mentioned here. I did not find the answers but the questions don't bother me any more. I guess that it some progress. I am...

It is my understanding that the peculiar head-dress seen on statues of the Buddha represents the thousand-petalled lotus or crown chakra, indicating that kundalini is fully awakened and connecting through the crown chakra to the universal mind. Some of you may disagree with this. But if it is...

Well that's a weird and spooky notion -- to kill yourself to freak out your estranged spouse.:eek: Your other option is mental illness caused by chemical imbalance in the brain. I think you would find this, statistically, to be a relatively infrequent cause of suicide. Most people who suicide...

As a person who has experienced suicidal feelings let me assure you that no person who has not themselves felt suicidal can relate to the suicidal mind-set. The question of whether or not it is a sin is irrelevant. The pain whatever it is becomes unbearable. If you are ever in the company of a...

How do any of you KNOW whether God is omniscient, omnipotent or both? Perhaps a verse or two in the Bible suggested to you that he might have either of both of these attributes. Just about any viewpoint can be supported by selective extracts from Scripture. Are we assuming that the Bible is...

We are all getting lofty and addressing the topic with our intellect. Yes we would like to learn new things indefinitely. We might like to become fully skilled on every musical instrument for example. We might like to excel in every kind of sport. In fact there is a virtually limitless number of...

Before I started my search for ultimate truth, I listened to jazz and pop music. This was back in 1965 so that you will understand the kind of pop music that was in vogue -- it included Elvis Presley just as one example. My favorite jazz artist was Dave Brubeck. Inspired by Benny Goodman I...

Thank you. I have been busy posting at meetchristians.com It is much more challenging than posting here, as most of the members are fundamentalists. I have sufficient knowledge of Christianity to debate sensibly and I feel that I am making some progress, however so slight, in provoking these...

I could not have said it better. Om.

Update -- and probably final word. I spent the afternoon with Xing on Monday November 26. She said she would ring me the following week but I have not had a word from her. Here is the email I sent to her on December 1. Hello Xing I don't know if you will receive this email but here...
