  2. there is no god but thats ok.

    It wouldnt, when i was typing the there is no god part i was thinking that all of the "god sightings" are part of the brain, like with holding food and such cause them to happen. But like i said all is non-dual.

  9. so i am wondering if you guys could help me find a different translation of the tao te ching. I usually read john c h wu's translation. but i am getting tired of that one. was wondering if anyone could recommend a philosophical translation. i really want to stay away from the religious translations. Thanks
  10. So thought i would revisit this with some new blood. As you know i consider rafiki to be enlightened. well in watching my little pony i see zecora as a parallel character. Also ed from lion king has a crazy wisdom spark in him. As well as pinkie pie. And i see twilight as a student. Thoughts?
  11. gods are caught up in samsara too. but in the show maybe they are enlightened also. in making this i was only thinking of the charecters around ponyville.
  12. So yeah i was at my anime club around a month ago and one of the members has a 4 year old daughter well she brought her daughter along and we watched an episode of my little pony friendship is magic. I liked it so i looked it up on youtube and saw the first 2 eps. They were really good. It was basically a heros journey. I highly recomend this series. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGVAaZVsHjw ep 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk0Pi1VxJus&feature=fvwrel ep 2

  18. Sacred Writings of Different Past Cultures

    vmarco what about the fact that alot of the tibetan buddhist meditations are only for initiated monks and nuns and lamas etc? If they really are the key to achieving liberation should they not be free?
  19. The Joker, The Taoist

    One day there was an earthquake that shook the entire Zen temple. Parts of it even collapsed. Many of the monks were terrified. When the earthquake stopped the teacher said, "Now you have had the opportunity to see how a Zen man behaves in a crisis situation. You may have noticed that I did not panic. I was quite aware of what was happening and what to do. I led you all to the kitchen, the strongest part of the temple. It was a good decision, because you see we have all survived without any injuries. However, despite my self-control and composure, I did feel a little bit tense - which you may have deduced from the fact that I drank a large glass of water, something I never do under ordinary circumstances." One of the monks smiled, but didn't say anything. "What are you laughing at?" asked the teacher. "That wasn't water," the monk replied, "it was a large glass of soy sauce."
  20. would anyone be interested in seeing a video on me making a balloon animal dorje or a pic of one?
  21. Tao Te Ching is a Chinese philosophical work, compiled between the sixth and fourth centuries BCE. The author is unknown, but it is popularly ascribed to 老子 Lao Tzu. Its 81 chapters are short, and are written in an aphoristic style (eg: "those who think they know never learn"), and attempt to describe the 道 Tao ("the Way") and the virtues of wisdom. As a religious work, it has six advantages: 1. It doesn't mention God. 2. It's short. 3. You don't get Taoists ringing your doorbell while you're still in bed to lecture you about it. 4. Taoists don't insist that schools should incorporate Taoist rituals in the classroom. 5. People don't wear little gold figures of a man being tortured to death as Taoist jewelry. 6. Taoists don't picket veteran's funerals with signs that say "Tao Hates Fags!" It does have some disadvantages: 1. It is confusing. 2. It is esoteric, especially for people who are not familiar with Chinese mythology. [edit] Themes Many esoteric themes pervade the Tao Te Ching. One of these themes is the benefit of nothingness, stillness, or emptiness. An example of this is that the true usefulness of a jar is the empty volume inside the jar. Another is that everything depends on its opposite to exist as a concept. For example, the term "light" has no meaning without the existence of the term "dark". [edit] Philosophical or Religious? Purely philosophical taoism is called 道家 daojia and treats the Tao Te Ching as a guide to help one's actions conform with the way of nature. Religious taoism is called 道教 daojiao and is focused on extending human life and avoiding evil spirits. It should be noted that many Asian cultures do not make a distinction between religion and philosophy.
