Starting a sentence ... ( 4 months ago by VUandChips)

Starting a sentence with the word 'and' is very bad English.

VUandchips: yes you ... ( 4 months ago by aftaab007)

VUandchips: yes you are correct. as you can tell english is not my favorite subject.
tell me. don't you get bored watching anti-religious debates. Don't you think you should expand your mind in some other subject matter. i can tell you are an intelligent person, but its shame that a mind like your worries about such trivial issues.

He has pointed out ... ( 4 months ago by Hitononasubi)

He has pointed out a very true point that people think Buddhism is great and the best religion because they don't know anything. But it is still a wonderful religion. Capt Awesome just doesn't have a clue on what he is talking about because it is desire and attachment to external objects. External is not physical, it is spiritually external. Go to yogameditation's channel and his video on Buddhism and you will understand. Jesus was enlightened when he turned into light, therefore he is a Buddha.

For any believer in ... ( 3 months ago by Corocco1)

For any believer in Bhuddism, how should a thirteen-year-old living in America, such as me, begin following Bhuddism? I am tired of teetering between atheism and faith and have decided Buddhism is the right religion for myself.

Why are you tired ... ( 3 months ago by geodesicks)

Why are you tired of teetering? It is a good thing. It means you're thinking hard about it. Keep it up. Question everything. Discover your own understanding of the world through your own effort. You don't have to take up a religion just because you're uncomfortable with the confusion that you call "teetering" that is the result of thinking. Maybe you'll come up with a radically new understanding of the world like the Buddha did when he "teetered" between Hinduism and atheism.

Thanks for the ... ( 3 months ago by Corocco1)

Thanks for the advice.

Finding your own ... ( 3 months ago by randyey)

Finding your own way can be hard and is a true measure of ones independence. I am non religious but I do wish to study Buddhism because I think it may be beneficial in many ways even if you do not directly practice it.

I've heard this said before however I'm not sure of the truth in this statement, But let's say for the sake of arguement that it's true can you please tell me what it proves about the Dalai Lama?

His Holiness takes ... ( 3 months ago by kusali11)

His Holiness takes great pride in stating that the Tibetan Tradition is the Indian "Nalanda Tradition". In other words stemming from the great ancient University in India which great masters are from like Arya Nagarjuna and Master Chandrakirti.

Its amazing what ignorasmuses there are here. Dalai Lama is not perfect but when you compare him to the other religious and political leaders -I dont exactly think he is a midget.Everything he does and says has a greater good in focus.Maybe it backfires sometimes but he always tries:

To be precise, ... ( 2 weeks ago by tubeofpassion)

To be precise, Buddhism is the anatomy of living beings. Regardless of one's religion, a living being's life is judged upon by a set of principles. Those principle's were NOT invented by Budda. In fact, they are Universal thruth's (of nature) that Buddha realized himself. One of those is the pinciple of "Cause an Effect".
