Momentum is important, don't loose yours down in the mud.

Boycotting as an ethical method
Lately, I've started boycotting more companies and their products. Not gonna mention who they are, but it's for various reasons like animal testing, employee abuses, and bad customer service. My list of boycotts is not big, so it's easy to do without brooding over it every time I shop. I can mostly ...

Re: Is Dharma practice a struggle for you?
It's up to us! I like to say that Buddhism is easy, we just need knowledge and training. But we might create obstacles for ourselves and society can make it difficult too. So if we have difficulties, it's not Buddhism's fault. But this is no reason to blame ourselves either. At this time, I also str...

Re: Working in the entertainment industry
Does Buddhism condemn those who work in the entertainment industry (actors, singers, dancers)? Is it considered a wrong livelihood to be in such profession? Nothing wrong with being an artist per se. But this occupation also needs ethics, because artists can influence people and should know what th...

Re: This Western Dharma experiment has been unsuccessful
My view is that Buddhism in the West is doing well. If we view past the prophecy that Buddhism will decline, I think it looks bright. It's only a century since it was introduced. The most important is that it's accessible to people. No worries about bad organisation or bad teachers or lack of teache...

In the footsteps of Tilopa and Naropa and Shantideva
The old tantrics preferrred to work amongst scum and whores. Well, so do I. I know only losers, drug abusers and bully victims.
I don't say this to brag, but what do you think? The deepest suffering is where we find peace and love. But it's tough.

Re: I wish to become a Doctor (MD)!
I believe everyone has infinite potential, So do I, but there could happen obstacles on the way. An example is the Angulimala story, to illustrate that he was able to do something to clean up his act, so he could live a happy life but he did never reach Nirvana. He had to wait till another life for...

Re: Where is Sakyamuni Buddha?
Another reality is own idea – fabrication, not an idea by any fellows or any other things, which would be again belief in independence of things-ones. That's riiigghht! The concept of "several realities" is like believeing your dreams are real and parts of "the one and only, singular...

Re: Where is Sakyamuni Buddha?
Man, what do you mean? Do you hold that reality doesn't exist at all? Please elaborate, your statement is arousing our curiousity. All realities arise through interdependent origination. Ultimately, what reality is there to talk about? Indeed, there's only one reality in existence so there is no po...

There is no 'one and only single reality'. That's Vedanta, not Buddhadharma. Man, what do you mean? Do you hold that reality doesn't exist at all?

Re: Where is Sakyamuni Buddha?

Where is Shakyamuni Buddha?
He is mostly in Nirvana, but he appears to people on Earth via a dimension door in our solar system. But he is not omnipotent like a creator-god.
