Hello! Wow, very clear uh... clarification DT. As most of my understanding of Quantum matters comes from 'spiritual' texts, I had never really thought about it being purely observation without conciousness but it make a lot of sense. I should also point out that I think you have...

Hello! I thorougly enjoyed the previous posts, I think there are some very enlightened people on here, and since the original post asked for feedback from everyone, I'll attempt to give my view. I will definitely admit, even though Buddhism cautions against getting too caught up in phenomena...

Hello Dyan, welcome to CR. Thanks for posting. I really don't know, but it's a really good question, I have wondered this myself. I would tend to think that you should. I, myself, tend to think it's ultimately a matter of the heart. Also, you can keep your vows without re-taking them. I have...

Hello Sanguine Dawn and welcome! I agree with Tao Equus 100%. I have made a fool out of myself on here more than once and have learned a great deal through asking questions and answering questions I thought I knew the answer to and then found out I did not.:rolleyes: Thankfully Brian has...

[/font][/size][/color] Ew... [/color] Yes, but don't get him confused with Vajrapani who is also known for this. 'Tis a little different with Shugden. Interesting psychological insight. This is probably very effective. [color=black][size=3][font=Times New Roman][font=Verdana][size=2]...

Hello, This definitely works! Besides, here in the states ATF has something to do with Alcohol, Firearms and Tobacco. You might give people the wrong impression.:p So sad but true. To clarify; there's no temple where I'm at. My teacher, a nun, makes a 2 hour drive every 2 weeks. But we're...

Hello AT5! *I like AT5 better. It's much more Star-wars-ish*:D And you are, of course correct here. ;) I'm sorry to hear that. I have been on the verge of dissolusionment myself. Although I don't think that I'm yet deeply dissolusioned as I think he still means well and is a very...

Hello, [/size][/font][/color] Ah, so we've been arguing the same point! So this is kind of like the "real life" point where everything equals nothing. It's so infinite that it no longer exists, or at least is no longer noticed. And to answer your question... I would of course, have to answer...

Hello ATF, I was hesitant to return to this topic, but I did, as I just read a good book that goes in to non-biased depth on the tipic at hand ("Prisoners of Shangri-La" By: Donald S. Lopez, Jr.) To be fair and to clarify, the Dalai Lama is recognized as the leader of Tibetans in exile...

Hello Brian, Ha! The truth is, I agree 100%. Seems to me, to be a bit more science fiction than science fact. I can't seem to find a link to save my life... But it was interesting, assuming their research wasn't fictional, just how many people agreed on a given celebrity being dead...

I've just read some good info on this topic, what a coincidence! Apparently people who are blind from birth do dream, but the don't usually have visual dreams. They're generally limited to the other senses. Another commonality are that they often dream of shapes, possibly them actually seeing...

Hello again _Z_, Tisk, tisk, tisk... I keep trying to make finite 'things' infinite. I came here earlier thinking infinity was a reality, but the more I ponder it, conventionally, paradox is all I can see. It seems to me that anything that can be infinite, is only such, as long as it's...

You're absolutely right, Z! Not with the collective "us" as being vastly superior, of course. As we are a humble bunch... most of us.:D I think it's very important to clarify infinity, in and of itselt, and in a quantum setting. This is especially true with non-physical matters. For example...

Hello, I'm curious to see if anyone else has put any thought into this mystery. Has anyone ever had the experience of thinking someone, usually a celebrity, was dead, only to find out they were still alive? I heard a great radio show on this topic. The guest was attempting to point out...

Hello all, I suggest you research the late eccentric, Leonard Mlodinow, who had a doctorate in Quantum Theory. He's best known for his research on infinite dimensions and his help in the co-writing of Star Trek and even worked with Rod Sterling. I heard him on Coast to Coast AM...

Hello Taijasi, Thanks for all of the great info. I'll have to go do some research now. I have a lot of respect for Theosophicism (I just made that up for lack of knowledge of the proper term. I'm quite fond of it already:D.) Althought I personally feel Buddhism is all encompassing, Theosophy...

Hello Bandit, I've seen you around a bit. I'm sure we'll run into each other again!

Wow! That helps a lot! And great views and info as well, Taijasi. I'm quickly becoming attached to this place.:o Now I have some other confusion to deal with of which no one but myeself can help me understand. I do however, wonder why, what I have been tought in the past year is so drastically...

Thanks Vaj, That clears things up a bit. But I'm still confused. Wouldn't Buddha Shakyamuni make eight then? I'm also confused as to where the other Buddha's fit in? Can you help me out. Sorry, I hope you've been practicing patience.:o Anyone else feel free to chime in as well! ~Ricky

I just wrote a big long reply and it disappeared into cyberspace... My main question for Vajradhara or any knowledgable person was this... This is Vaj's list: This is the list provided in Vaj's link: After reading the Atanatiya Sutta, it seems to me that Buddha Gotama, Angirasa and...
