What is your website? I like the way you deliver those information. Keep it up.

Catechism of The Buddhist Doctrine Primarily in Buddhism it is compulsory to accept Rebirth & KARMA (Wholesome or Unwholesome Commitments) though only voluntarily one should accept The Doctrine, purely through conviction. after accepting Buddhism purely through conviction. It’s mandatory to make 5 sacrifices or observe Five Precepts as a Layman, 1. To Abstain from Killing, Harming or Endangering any kind of living beings. 2. To Abstain from Stealing or taking what is not granted to you. Pilferage, Cheat ,Plunder, Pillage, Loot, etc; 3. To Abstain from Committing Adultery or illegal sexual misbehavior. 4. To Abstain from Falsehood, Pretend, Mendacity, Lying or Deceit. It’s v.important for Buddhists to refrain from falsehood as they seek the Truth. 5. To Abstain from Intoxication or Narcotic Drug Abuse. Standards are of course higher and much more austere for a Novice Monk (like the Poverty vow, Strict Celibate living etc;) Unlike in all other major religions including Hinduism, Buddhism doesn’t accept a creator God but instead Evolution, according to the Commitment or KARMIC Force which enables the ideal situation. Eg; Wholesome Commitments will deliver pleasant or desirable births in a Celestial or Human birth or vis-à-vis in the case of Unwholesome Commitments. For whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. (New Testament - Saint Paul) A rather short and precise emphasis would be, mentally and physical commitment or action(volition,consciously acting by purpose). Therefore what happens accidentally(unintentionally) doesn't create a payback situation.Although KARMIC reaction may not take place quite instantly but for surely in due time-course it will start paying retribution to the owner of it(Eg; if one plants an apple seed you wouldn't get apples over night, but certainly for sure it will give results at its fruition). It's mind foremost. Though Envy, Jealousy, Aversion, Covetousness and Ignorance are all evil and doesn't involve any physical action but it will definitely have a KARMIC reaction in a miserable realm as they are mindful commitments(intention) . Lord BUDDHA has mentioned the type of KARMA and its reactions are infinite. This subject of KARMA is a vast subject in Buddhism with lots of elaborations like the Cause & Effect Theory, · Dependent on the main cause ignorance , volitional (KARMIC) formations evolves. · Dependent on volitional formations, consciousness evolves. · Dependent on consciousness, mentality-materially(Mind & Matter) evolves. · Dependent on mentality-materially, the six sense faculties(Eye,Nose,Tongue,Ear,Body & Brain ) evolves . · Dependent on the the six sense faculties, contact evolves. · Dependent on contact, sensual feeling evolves. · Dependent on Sensual feeling, craving evolves. · Dependent on craving, clinging evolves. · Dependent on clinging, existence( Rebirth in*31 Realms ) evolves. · Dependent on existence, birth evolves. · Dependent on existence,decay,senility death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief and despair evolves * According to Buddhist Cosmology,Lord BUDDHA has mentioned that the number of Galaxies run in to infinity in 625 B.C, a Galaxy comprises of 31 realms of existence and they are, the 4 miserable Hell Realms (1.Animal 2.Goblin or the Hungry Ghostly Forms 3. Extra Gigantic Miserable Ghostly Forms 4. The 136 Hell realms full of torture found beneath the earth.) 1 Human realm, 6 Celestial Heavenly realms, 20 Celestial Brahma realms(Super-mundane). Also Rebirth is quite different to Reincarnation which means the same person appearing again. According to Buddhism it’s NOT THE SAME or NOT ANOTHER Eg; Suppose Julius Caesar reborn currently as Prince Charles, he’s not Julius Caesar now ,but no one else either but a generation of the Cycle of Birth & Death of a being. We're driven by Greed, Hatred and Delusion the 3 evil KARMIC roots embedded in our minds which doesn't need any nourishment, the downward currents fueling our *cycle of birth and death (*SAMSARIC SOJOURN) which causes immense suffering to us. So the perfect solution or the antidote prescribed by The BUDDHA, is to engage our selves in acts of 1.Generosity, to nullify Greed. 2.To Contemplate on Loving Kindnesses and especially to Forgive one's Adversaries and Treacherous Enemies, this technique is to curtail the evil root of Anger, Animosity or Hatred and Jealousy which is embedded in our minds. 3.Finally to develop Wisdom through sheer Contemplative Meditation to make Ignorance obsolete. Ignorance which is the main reason for the existence of both other evil aspects Greed and Hatred. Both Greed and Hatred can't exist without Ignorance. Lord BUDDHA has taught us how to liberate our selves by contemplating on reality of the 1.The NATURAL PHENOMENON OF IMPERMANENCE(both Mind & Matter, arise to pass away or Appear to Disappear) 2.The NATURAL PHENOMENON OF SUFFERING(due to 1st phenomenon of Impermanence) 3. The NATURAL PHENOMENON OF SOULLESSNESS (non continuity or non eternity.This is the most subtle phenomenon) and this technique of meditation is known as The INSIGHT MEDITATION which enables you to exterminate the KARMIC FORCE and would nullify your future existence in any of the *31 realms of existence in this Galaxy or in any other Galaxy (Lord BUDDHA has mentioned that the number of Galaxies run in to infinity in 625 B.C) a Galaxy comprises of * 31 realms of existence and they are, the 4 miserable Hell Realms (1.Animal 2.Goblin or the Hungry Ghostly Forms 3. Extra Gigantic Miserable Ghostly Forms 4. The 136 Hell realms full of torture found beneath the earth.) 1 Human realm, 6 Celestial Heavenly realms, 20 Celestial Brahma realms(Super-mundane). And INSIGHT MEDITATION leads you to the emancipation of all suffering or NIRVANA( cessation of Birth, Decay, Illness,Death Lamentation and all forms of Suffering) Wherever Birth takes place it isn't NIRVANA and in NIRVANA there's no Birth taking place any more. "Transient alas are all component things Subject are they to birth & then decay Having gained birth to death the life flux swings Bliss truly dawns when unrest dies away" -The Buddha(Light of Asia. by Sir Edwin Arnold)

This is mostly Lineage invented BS ... Buddha DID NOT Awaken through meditation. "After Buddha's passing away, monks and nuns only emphasized meditation; there was no interest in studying the teachings." Anam Thubten "The location of the truth of the Great Perfection is the unfabricated present; not a hair of which has been forced into relaxation through meditation." Jigme Lingpa Buddha DID NOT Awaken by way of meditation ... Siddhartha was near dead from meditation when a young girl named Sujata (likely a dakini) offered Him some food (perhaps rice cooked in milk). Some say a state of appreciation filled Him from this meal, and others as He recovered His physical strength, through a state of appreciation, through which He realized the nature of Dependent Origination from which suffering arises. Bodhi unveiled reality by way of Appreciation, and thus removing the veil that obscures the way things really are. Bottom line ... suffering is a consequence of the desire for things to be other than they are, As for the 8-Fold Path ... this a consequence of Bodhicitta. Simulating of the 8-Fold Path is not the 8-Fold Path. ONLY the Self-Actualized follow the 8-Fold Path ... it's organic.

According to Buddha ... "Enlightenment" is near impossible to realize after death. Buddha said that the Human Realm is the most suitable to realize full Conscious Awareness, because humans are not completely distracted by Samsaric pleasure, like the God/Brahman (6th dimension), Deva (5th dimension) Realms, or the Samsaric anguish of Hell. Standing in the boat of the human body, You should cross the great flood of misery. Since later this boat is difficult to get, Do not sleep now, you fool. Jewel Ornament of Liberation

​​​​@@jamespanetta-cf6pualso I've heard many interpretations of how it supposedly went down. Supposedly he was dieing In a ditch struggling to find enlightenment and then it hit him and he said fuck it let's eat, and the stooges who were following him thought him mad and fucked off. All I see is more obfuscation. They tell me me meditation is not something you do, it's a state of being. They say lots of things

In coming year 2067, Buddhism in China would be two thousand years old. The next one thousand years, Mahayana Buddhism will flourish in China. Those who wish to seek the Buddha's Teachings, especially the Mahayana Pure Land Buddhism, China has most of the essential Sutras and the scriptures are well translated. After 3067, Mahayana Buddhism will take root in Sri Lanka and will remain there for six thousand years. The last one thousand years of Buddha's Teachings in this world will be in India. Buddhism will return back to India and will eventually disappear from the surface of the world. Then for a very long long period of time, there will be no Buddhism until Maitreya Bodhisattva appear in 5.67 billion years time. When the world discard the teachings of family education, moral education and education of causality, there will be no Buddha's Teachings. What the world would be like, if without good teachings and the Buddha's Teachings? 🙏🙏🙏Amituofo

The question, "What is truth?" misses the target. It is a deviation of the arrow of understanding flying towards spiritual enlightenment. Who is the one that judges what truth maybe? Who is the one seeking truth? An illusory 'me'? Looking from another's illusion? Without this knowledge, the archer cannot shoot the target, which is indeed the bullseye of Truth. To be precise in shooting, you have to know the archer intimately and how it operates. You have to know who the archer is first, and after that, perhaps you do not need to shoot outside yourself. Of course, if you have a lazy mind, you may prefer to enjoy a video game or stick your face inside an iPhone and text some friends. This will produce a life of endless suffering, until the end, which we all know very well. Good luck with your decisions, and farewell. I don't know you, I will never meet you, and frankly speaking, I will never notice if you die. You are just a bunch of letters on the screen of my PC. How could I possibly care for comments, critiques, or flattery and approval from a bunch of words? Bwahaha! Ha, ha, ha, HAAAAA! Interestingly enough, as I have no motivation to receive your response, as I have no invested money or needs I may satisfy from you, you can be sure of one single aspect of my writing: I am bluntly honest, and there is not a single lie in what I have exposed.
