Re: Porn Free for 90 Days

I have read in a few places that the ...

Re: Similarities of Mahayana and theravada
My intention was to try to bring peace between these 2 ranches of Buddhism. Guess it failed . Mod please close this topic. It's pointless to discuss this anymore. A lot of you are now Criticising the mahayahanist hence it makes things worse.

Re: Reunify the Buddhism, is there any way?
There is no need to reunify it. It is already unified . The best thing we should do is respect the other divisions , do not be a smart-ass and try to question and criticize the other divisions. Your intention was good, but this would lead to divisions questioning each others differences, like in the...

Re: Similarities of Mahayana and theravada
Let's forget about the differences shall we :)? Just to be simple, I think they share rather similar goals and of course their teacher: the Buddha. It is not that they (the teachings) would share goals but the people clinging to those teachings share a common goal: To overcome the dilemma of being ...

Re: Cloud Atlas - epic film about karma and reincarnation
The directors say that when they approached the big movie-making companies in Hollywood, nobody was interested in financing such a strange film which did not fit the usual category of block-busters that bring a lot of profit to them. So the directors had to seek private funding in order to make the...
