Lost souls are hurting and are seeking innocence. Innocence means not able to be hurt. I have compassion for these people but I know they will return to love. Love is alive. And that's want they want. Kind of funny, really. |

Leo99, you seem to be seeking your spirituality on youtube.com
Why??
What you are looking for is not outside of you
Some understanding ... maybe??
But, mostly you end up with more questions.
Is that what you are really looking for??
Be well and be happy .... haha

Sorry, I am still processing information.
If you want to know then do so for yourself.
No one can tell you how water taste ... you must taste it for yourself.
Where I am ... you may be on another path ... hahaha

Maybe you should re-evaluate what your priorities are??
Decide if you really want to find the Buddha's truth??
If so, then go find a Zen teacher and sangha ... learn and practice
If not then see what you really want and go after that.
Good luck to you in your endeavors .... hahaha

Yes.

Advice is meant as an option in choice of actions to be taken in a particular situation.
There is no presumption in being advanced or not.
That is your ego deciding to protect your beliefs.
The suggestions have been made ... now it is up to you to decide ... hahaha
Everyone seems to have turned to be adversarial rather than to be helpful.
So, sour has turned this environment ... seems you have made your choice ... hahaha

I have no problem when you or anyone else speaks non-sense. You are completely welcome to entrench yourself in a specific viewpoint and to defend it all you wish. I assert many things as I understand them, yet, as variables change my understanding changes, so that yes, something may have been right at that time, but latter, it no longer is. What is today’s non-sense is tomorrows wisdom and vice-a-versa. |

Kind of...logic can be its own self sustaining trap...but each persons logic can be different. So a koan for you may not work for me.

Sort of like stepping on the glasses you have been looking for all day. Honestly, I study Soto Zen and not Rinzai Zen, so do not let me mislead you on Koans. This is an intellectual understanding based on my meditation practice. I am a bit blasphemous in that I am willing to try to frame these things in language which is a poor way to convey what can only be done. |

Yes , because in my understanding of Buddhism , love / compassion is SAME and EQUAL as any other emotions ......a pollutants in emptiness .
In my current understanding of Buddhism , there is no good or bad , no true or false , no right or wrong .............all our emotions is actually "ourselves" ..which causes our existence .
