Here I go again...

Post by ball-of-string »

In the 80's, a group of cyber-Buddhists in a CompuServe chat corrupted me away from being a good little Christian. They brainwashed me with their logical ways and their insistence that I am my only savior. I have since followed the Buddha's instruction manual, it has worked out okay for me.

I have drifted in and out of various Buddhist forums. Sometimes I contribute, sometimes I just read. A friend told me about this forum, and here I am.

Hi Ball-of-string -
Welcome -

I was on Compuserve in the '80's too - member of something called the Religion Forum which had a Buddhist section, which is where I posted for the most part. Those were the days! :hi:

“Where do atomic bombs come from?”
Zen Master Seung Sahn said, “That’s simple. Atomic bombs come from the mind that likes this and doesn’t like that.”

"Even if you practice only for an hour a day with faith and inspiration, good qualities will steadily increase. Regular practice makes it easy to transform your mind. From seeing only relative truth, you will eventually reach a profound certainty in the meaning of absolute truth."
Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.
