@foleybarbarian,
Be careful about Sri Lanka. I am from there. There are some real monks there. Most of them are thugs who wear the robes for financial and political power.
I recommend Nepal.

@CharleeMary The Buddha lived at a time when life was hard – imagine dealing with an ailment with no medicine or undergoing an operation without anasthetic. Law & order was non-existent, few protections for the common man. Life is suffering if we make it so, it doesn’t have to be – it is upto us to make this world a heaven or a hell. Meditation helps the individual – innovation, hard work , consumerism will help the society at large.

@foleybarbarian , To regain control of your life, meditation is a good answer. It is irrelevant where your body is, that’s one of the greatest things about meditation. You can be in your room in Europe or in a cave in the Himalayas, either way the journey and the goal is outside of your physical body

I would like to know, what way to go about becoming a Buddhist Monk in Nepal or evening Sri Lankia, I am from the Europe and their is no information about this topic.
I have nothing here to live for, My Life is Ruling me, I want to be able to Rule my life.

The diff between …
The diff between Moksha & Heaven is simple – you Earn your way to Moksha, whereas getting to heaven is cheap – all a Pedophile or a Terrorist has to do is to grovel & beg like a dog. Yeah, he gets to enjoy heaven while his living victims deal with the pain he caused. “god”’s mercy is for the dead pedophile, not for the innocent living. But with Karma & Rebirth, that will not happen, a pedophile will have to come back & make amends.

the buddha did not say god did not exist the buddha contemplated not revealing what he learned fearning people would distort his teaching he said god(brahma) told him to teach anyway

mayurasana
It can; the problem is that no modern empirical study has really been performed, and English translations of Sanskrit, Pali, Chinese, and Tibetan are only vague interpretations of what those words really mean to their native speakers. A good example from English is the train; a simple concept to express here, yet in Chinese represented by the characters for ‘fire’ and ‘wagon’. While in a general way that is correct enough, it does not fully convey the distinct character of the train.

Things like …
Things like Emptiness and Selflessness are hard to understand and even if one understands it, it could take one to misconception in real practices. But, the most precious message of Buddha is “Your life is shaped by your mind; what you are is what you think”. This means mind is the most important factor to eliminate any sufferings.

Buddha said it doesn’t matter if God exists or not, the human condition is still the same. Life is suffering; The first noble truth. Buddhists are just trying to alleviate suffering, some through meditation some through other practices.

This is amazing. It shows how powerful meditation can really be. I wish that this stuff could be taught in school. This is something more useful than studying social studies or chemistry.

Their god is a metaphor at best, an abstract concept, which is a very good thing. As the god of theistic beliefs is something that can never be proven and is obviously comparable to something out of fairy tales.

@rick4318 Then this is your Buddhism. Your enlightment/awareness belongs to your and arises from your practice and experience. Just as your world arises with your birth and is reborn in every moment. It will pass away at your death. So will mine. Namaste.

@2007niko2007
you’re right, but the way you’re saying it is cheap and misleading. buddhism isn’t centered around deity worship, but it has many concepts that are comparable to the notion of god and doesn’t deny its existence. i misunderstood you as saying that believing in buddhism discounted the possibility that god exists.
the enlightened individual is the inner god. it’s a practice that has its roots deeply embedded in the experiential notion of divinity as it exists everywhere.

shut up i feel like im talking to an idiot, not buddhists, i said BUDDHISM THE BELIEF ITSELF has no god.

@2007niko2007
that’s a ridiculous generalization and proves you have no concept of the Buddhist word Emptiness.
if you meditate I feel like I have to tell you that self-centering practices cultivate God inside you.

, but im saying IN BUDDHISM THERE IS NO GOD. im not saying anything else.
