TOPIC: WHY ASK WHY? |
|
|
|
Posted on Nov.10.2012 @ 06:02PM EDT by esoteric
"Why?" is a good question to keep asking, every moment. Like a child keeps asking his parent "Why?"
A
parent who gets irritated is no parent at all. A good parent answers
every "why" to the best of his ability. If he doesn't know, he says he
doesn't know, but he can learn and teach the child where to look for the
answer.

Well most people think and feel they are loving. You go ask. No one will tell you they are not loving. .. It seems so me that love is the most abused word in this world. Yet look what is happening...lol

The Meaning of Dharma
 |
First, one must get to know oneself. Then, having become familiar with oneself, one can live one’s life more deeply. Living one’s life more deeply is the meaning of dharma. |

Why do so many people get samadhi?
Why do so many people get kensho?
I remember I might have those when I got drunk...lol

Children are naturally curious, because learning is necessary for human beings.
Curiosity is not anxiety. Even so, answer the "why".
If it's curiosity, then you have helped him to know what he needs to know.
If it's anxiety, then you have helped him to know what he needs to know.

"Living one's life more deeply is the meaning of dharma."
"Being free from suffering is the meaning of dharma."
"Getting enlightenment is the meaning of dharma."
"Buddha is the meaning of dharma."
"Mu is the meaning of dharma."
"Just being is the meaning of dharma."
"There is no meaning of dharma."
"There is actually no dharma."
Say what you want about dharma and the meaning of dharma. What does any of that have to do with you?
"Dharma" is just teaching. What are you?

Shayne and esoteric, a while back you guys went off to start your own forum. But then no one came to join it, so you eventually came back.
If I recall correctly, Shayne just came back. esoteric went off to join another forum, but then came back to this one after having been asked to leave the other.
I think you guys should give it another try. Start your own forum again. |

You do not recall correctly.
Of course, I've explained all of this before. But you continue to think what you want to think. That's okay. As long as you realize that you're doing it, maybe you can look at that and ask yourself why you remember these things so incorrectly, and why they trouble you so much.

Maybe I was incorrect. I just remember Shayne inviting everyone to leave here to come to his new forum, and esoteric saying something about having been kicked out of another forum somewhere, and coming back here.
But I cant cite the particular posts, so I cant swear to it. I apologize if my memory was incorrect.
