Dhamma Bhikkhu is a Buddhist. He does not believe in God or soul. Are you accusing him of being immoral, dishonest and unfair in his dealings?

Was Buddha fettered? He was a 'present' at one time. The enlightened are not fettered. I, like Buddha, know both, here and hereafter. Buddha, like Sankara, is my guru - a deadly combination. :D

Bhante, Tathagata was teaching Dhamma. I am talking about science. I have no problem with Dhamma, Hindu or Buddhist, since both are the same. I do not differ with even one word of the Noble Eight-fold Path.

What constitutes us will remain in space and time till the time when existence changes into non-existence. :)

You won't understand. You do not know Buddha. You are unenlightened (You are Tathagatagarbha - Tat twam asi). :D

That uneducated 19th Century Iranian? That is called licking the shoes.

You think there is an elephant in your cupboard?

Did you analyze what you were taught or accepted it blindly?

Stones too have their many different gunas. Compare a obsidian rock with pumice. Truth is the most sublime, the rest is all made-up.

What is wrong is that it is not true. I do not believe in any higher power and perhaps our Buddhist friend here also does not. If it works for you, it is OK for you. That also is true that it does not work for many other people. I follow science, I do not believe in existence of miracles. I do...

Ah, for once our views are similar. :D

That is true. Deeds may be fruitless for the person, but may affect other jeevas. The best explanation for 'karma' that some one told me is that 'karmas' are like billiard balls. Once set in motion, they will always have their effects, but not necessarily for the person who performed the karma...

There are various kinds of Hindus. I do not know even one God or Goddess, what to talk of any 'trinity'.
