Re: Is hair spiritual?
Hair can be something people become especially attached to and identify with (speaking from experience here!). I believe that's why it's shaved off in Buddhism, to lose your distinguishing marks and source of attachment. There's not anything spiritual about it as far as I'm aware. Yes, there are ma...

Re: Buddhist Asceticism and the first council
Does asceticism mean holy life? Yes and not giving in to every desire and chasing after sense pleasures. What others say is happiness the noble ones say is suffering. What others say is suffering the noble ones know as happiness. See, this teaching is hard to understand, it confuses the ignorant. T...

Re: Revisiting The Buddha's Ethnicity
https://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/kn/thag/thag.06.09.than.html Isn't that sutta arguing against your view of being fixated on ethnicity & race & color? Jenta, the Royal Chaplain's Son thought he was so high and great due to his: birth, wealth, & sovereignty. Drunk with the intoxi...

Re: Buddhist Asceticism and the first council
Some incorrectly think the Buddha was opposed to asceticism, but in numerous suttas we see the Buddha referred to as the ascetic-Gotama. "Though my skin, my nerves and my bones shall waste away and my life blood go dry, I will not leave this seat until I have attained the highest wisdom, called...

Re: Buddha appear lagging behind Jesus & Mohammed
It seems a unsurpassable person like the Buddha are not that popular , famous or well known compared to Jesus and Mohammed . It seems both Jesus and Mohammed followers are outnumbered the Buddha . Would it be possible buddhism try to catch up with them ? It's a numbers game, is it? To a large exten...

Re: Safe place during war
Russia is likely to be one of the major participants in WW3, so that would not be safe at all.
Maybe Madagascar or Mauritius might be safe. They are remote, far from most of the potential conflicts of WW3.

Re: Buddha appear lagging behind Jesus & Mohammed
Do we need more planets in our solar system? Is planet a simile for more religions in your statement above? If so, then I agree, we don't need any more religions or new religious movements. If you notice, virtually all of the New Religious Movements over the last few hundred years were just various...
