Re: From Mahayana to Theravada
A big problem with Buddhists including myself is that there is always that feeling we are giving up something important. Actually there is nothing important worth attaching to in the conditioned world. Nothing in Samsara is worth our attachment. I would encourage you to spend time in a monastery as...

Re: Sadhguru
Does theravada accept this statement ? This is a common Zen saying. I would that indeed Theravada Buddhism accepts the idea that we all have potential to become a Buddha. They won't utter the words the Zen use, but say it differently. They are more likely to say that you to have awaken to become Bu...

Re: From Mahayana to Theravada
Around 4 - 6 year ago I was going to various Mahayana/Vajrayana groups and activities as this was the time I was opening up to Mahayana/Vajrayana Buddhism. Part of that exploration also involved me visiting Mahayana groups. I have been to a few Zen groups, a Seon group and a Chan group. I have a hi...

Re: New guy
I share many of the issues you do, dear friend.
While in Buddhism we have strong morality, one should have no shame.
May you fulfill your deepest wish for happiness.

Re: Buddhism: just another "truth"?
Yes, Theravada is very cut and dry. Really? :tongue: If you have ever dabbled in Tibetan Buddhism, Theravada looks like a much easier maze. I could never get my head around Tibetan Buddhism, even though I have greatly enjoyed their talks on emptiness, visualization meditations (the great silence), ...

Re: Buddhism: just another "truth"?
How long did he last in robes? I actually find Theravada practice terribly boring. Those who can do it for a living are troopers. Theravada Buddhism isn't for all Buddhists. Some people prefer other traditions, based on their personalities. Yes, Theravada is very cut and dry. But that's the beauty ...
