Do we need a "belief"?

[CobblersApprentice]

What? What does that mean?
Does it mean you are familiar with Tibetan Buddhism?

It is exactly a Buddhist doctrine.

Using "opinion" was just my sense of humour. And so it means that I have a sense of humour.

Yes, familiar. Don't really like the emphasis on "masters" and slightly sceptical of yogi's levitating and suchlike, but who knows?

Doctrine, or mere opinion?

 

[Bhaktajan II]

And so it means

I still dont get the joke.

You dislike master?

Maestro and Senior mean Master.

How can a master obtained the title without having served past masters?

yogi's levitating?

Buddhist belief is Buddhist belief.

Jeez I am losing interest in your tact.

We all have different senses of humour. To me, using the word "opinion" is mildly amusing. You need not share the joke. To explain it would be to destroy it.

I see all as potential mentors. Possibly that is the origin of having no particular interest in "masters". Who knows just who has "served" who in past lives.

Buddhist belief is Buddhist belief? I can't really argue with that one.

Tact? Well, here I agree with you. I am rather losing patience. I just may withdraw quietly before the fireworks start.......

[A Cup Of Tea]

It seems to me that I am often misunderstood. Often unclear.

Tell me something I have said, a "statement", explain how I have then "distanced myself from it" and I shall consider the situation.

Not your statements, quoted statements.

 

[Thomas]

Which just goes to show......Reality is one of grace and mercy, not consistency and justice.

Can you have one without the other?

Full of unexpected surprises...

Always ...

Sometimes strict beliefs can cut out the surprises that could have been ours.

Yes. And the lack of it.

Yes, beliefs can bring movement. Then they can congeal and leave us a bed to lie on that we may never have wanted. Unexpected.

Well that's always the issue.

 

[CobblersApprentice]

Not your statements, quoted statements.

Well, I have said that I do not necessarily agree with any quote I post. Without a specific quote, I really cannot reply.......or defend myself.....

 

[A Cup Of Tea]

or defend myself.....

Don't see why that would be necessary.
I've tried to get into that head of yours, but I feel like I'm just chasing my tail. This dog is taking a nap for now.

I would like to get into it sometimes.......
