If "everything is energy" then what does this mean?

[Rick O'Shez]

So you left Mahayana for more secure and cozy stagnant waters. You went backwards, which is reflected in your staid thinking.

So what experience have YOU had in the Theravada school? I don't think you've had any, you are clueless about it, so you're just spouting shallow sectarian rhetoric. No mature Buddhist would come out with this crap, but like I said you are neither a Buddhist OR mature.

You are just a tiresome new-age Chopra clone who hijacks threads to preach a ****e DIY religion.

I could equally say that grumpiness/divine hate is present even under the most beautiful of human conditions....

Now what? Did I prove anything about God's hate?

Who said anything about God?

Then replace God with whatever you have in mind.

Yeah. Like nature?

 

[Rick O'Shez]

So now unconditioned has two meanings. Tell us about the meaning in the sutta passage.

I explained this to you several pages back, as you well know. Though of course you didn't like the explanation because of your obsession with the "Absolute".

You really are pathetic, you have no interest in the truth at all, it's all just an ego-trip for you, trying to score points to prop up your ****e DIY religion.

 

[Rick O'Shez]

Yeah. Like nature?

"Nature" would certainly be better than all this pretentious deepity BS about "The Absolute".

 

[viole]

Yeah. Like nature?

Oh, the beautiful sunsets, flowers and tsunamis. Lol.

That is true. But Big Bang is unknown too. Whereas that I exist is not an unknown.

Not a good example. We have direct evidence of the Big Bang. We have very indirect evidence of the other three. As to the last part, GodnotGod would say that you are an illusion, a trick of the light, smoke on the winds of time. I don't hold that view.

 

[Rick O'Shez]

I simply fail to see why these designations are important of even particularly meaningful.

Yes, they're all rubbish, let's burn the lot of them.

Like.... The Absolute. (Just tryin' to help.)

 

[Rick O'Shez]

Now go to your room and weep.

No. You go back to your rabbit hole, perhaps the Mad Hatter will listen to your rambling monologues while Alice makes a nice cup of "herb tea".

 

[YmirGF]

Yes, they're all rubbish, let's burn the lot of them.

I say we take them out back, behind the garden shed and kick the living **** out of them.

Yeah, I would like to start with that pretentious "Absolute" character, he has been REALLY been asking for it.

 

[godnotgod]

Spiney has missed the jewel in the crown.

 

[Rick O'Shez]

They describe Sunyata as absolute.

No. One passage describes sunyata as absolute TRUTH, not as "The Absolute", which is what you keep claiming. All you do is twist things, you are SO dishonest.

A seller of snake-oil, always willing to tell a lie to make a sale.

 

[Rick O'Shez]

Whereas that I exist is not an unknown.

But perhaps not in the way you think you do.

 

[godnotgod]

Yeah, I would like to start with that pretentious "Absolute" character, he has been REALLY been asking for it.

So why do you fail to deliver?

 

[Rick O'Shez]

Spiney has missed the jewel in the crown.

Pathetic.

Typical Chopra clone.

 

[Rick O'Shez]

So why do you fail to deliver?

Why is your ego so large? Why do you continually lie?

 

[godnotgod]

I say we take them out back, behind the garden shed and kick the living **** out of them.

Ah, now you and the fake Buddhish show your true colors: drab gray and violent red. Your guys way of solving problems you don't understand. Typical of the ignorant and backward thinking.
