Well now I realize that it is:
*ok to break the 4th precept here,
*that it is ok to deny rebirth,
*ok to deny non-human beings existence,
*ok to deny other planes of existence etc.
*ok to claim that some suttas are fake
*or claim that the Buddha was Sri Lankan
*or that real experiences one has had are mere hallucinations…The list is endless… :toast:

It also ok to post ”hidden” racist comments & remarks here and there, ok to sympathize with hitler/mussolini on this forum and oh yeah even a pedophile is active on this forum starting threads…! :toilet:

But these things above do no damage to the Buddha-Dhamma at all or DW, it is that I chose a name based on affinity for Shango/Thor/Zeus/Indra in a buddhist context and my silly, below average posts with zero insight that is really stirring up the emotions, all that other stuff above that I mentioned is clearly ok… :rules:

/Asakka
Try not to attach to things people say. These are only thoughts that arise and fade away. The person who said that Buddha was not in Sri Lanka, or claimed that some suttas are false, just said it, they have forgotten that they ever said so.
It was
  • a thought that arose and faded, based on that moment's thinking
  • All things arising in the so called "Mind" are empty.
Empty Village SN 35.238
Why get attached to things arising in an empty village?
On this forum, should we not feel compassion towards the pedophile?
The forum allows for the beauty, ugliness, harmony and discord. Are these not features of
samsara we are immersed in? If we thought samsara was all beauty and harmony, we will not try to be free from it. But if we thought samsara was ugliness and discord??? tell me what you will do then?
With love :candle:

"Sakkå" can mean "Sakkå tribe"

Sakiyå/Sak[a]yå
👉 I think this is from Sri Langkan language aka non-Pāḷi

Sakkå (tribe), Sakkå (Devanamindå) 👉 Pāḷi

Sak[a]yamuni ✅
Sakkamuni ❌
