You are sanctimonious, i didn't force you to respond to the topic, you went ahead and did it anyway because you clearly thought you were helping me or something. There's nothing wrong with leaving your forum blank until better content comes along.
You clearly haven't learned anything. Obviously not everyone in SC likes NASCAR, I'm so %^&*ing tired of other peoples dumb as hell generalizations, it's a nightmare, %^&* you. I'm tired of hearing one type of person say "the welfare cheats ruin everything! the immigrants steal!", and then the other person say "america is white supremacist! white supremacists are ruining democracy!".
I also don't fully rely on other people's generalizations...but that's part of being a human, is you rely on information that other people give you, I can't make them out of thin air unless I'm either lying or writing stories. I find very questionable the idea that "attachment leads to suffering", so am I supposed to believe an attachment believe an infant and a mother always without a doubt leads to suffering? Seems like a lot of people don't want to question ancient religious ideas. But what would buddhism be if they did?
All sanghas seem to either want you to torture yourself or lie to you, so what's the point? I don't see why more people don't practice meditation alone and fully divorce it from hindu spirituality and buddhism (there's very little difference between the two...). I wanted to put this in a much shorter message but your programming clearly still doesn't %^&*ing work. It would have taken you much less time and effort to tell me what a TOS is...
Dude, what are you going on about? Somebody pee in your Wheaties this morning or something?
Now, I'm gonna let the "!@#$ You" slide. Just this once. But for the record ......
I'm not sanctimonious.
You're the one who presumed to say I lived in a rural area, my best guess why being that you apparently assume that SC is entirely rural. You're also the one made the generalization that people down here are "rednecks".
I didn't write the 4NT, ok? If you don't like the idea that attachment is suffering, that's fine, but it is what Buddhism teaches.
You can meditate all you like and completely divorce yourself from the Dharmic Religion part. That's fine, too.
I understand if you've had some trouble with other Sanghas. I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about that.
You are also the one who put this topic in the DZ. What did you expect.
You also posted a topic that quite honestly would be difficult to impossible to discuss here. I'm sorry but I can't helpt that, either.
So what's the !@#$ing problem?
Oh, and TOS means Terms of Service
