...I think therefore I am? No! I AM, therefore I think. God bless you :)

You are very welcome, Cino ^_^ Unfortunatley with scans we can not copy/paste, so I have posted the text format in the original post. I would love to systematically read it with you ! We can start wherever you want n_n for me something extremley striking is how the writer decided to name the...

The purpose of words is to convey meaning. So the words dont matter. The meaning matters. We say God out of reverence. Its out of love for the system of creation. This is all actually Self love. Check out if you like the Garland Flower Sutra in the other thread :) lets talk about those words

You said you understand the teaching more clearly than me. This is obviously not so, for you judge and insult people, therefore you dont understand the teaching, my sister. You have ego, and its obvious.

Yes, thats a beautiful one, thank you :) I mostly read theravada but I read all the scripture. There are many forms to obtain buddhist knowledge. The different schools have no key differences in my opinion. Buddhism is not about words and definitions, its very clear in the teaching. Its a path...

You disagree that buddhism is refined hinduism? Or do you disagree the dao and other world teachings have no commonalities with buddhism?

What are my beliefs, my sister? :)

Regarding the miracles which ocurr through following the path (mental superpowers are a known aspect of buddhism and meditation, these are called Attainments in the teaching and they can be discovered experientially) I wanted to direct you to my other thread where I uploaded The Garland Flower...

Death doesn't exist. Its a concept. It doesnt exist outside of thought. The world is like an ilusion, like a dream. There is no one home, so to speak. There is only continual awareness. Its very beautiful. Thats why we say The Glory of God, The Glory of the Light of God, etc.

The neurologist doesn't know the mind. She knows the physical, material aspects of the brain, not the phenomena of consciousness. I dont see whats the point of pride in not having knowledge. The more things you know the better. You certainly wont learn how to play an instrument by hearing...

Stay wise, my friend :) its a wonderful knowledge to comprehend what being in the present truly means. Work hard to gain your own salvation. Love is all you need❁
