Actually in this thread I am asking the opinions of Buddhists and their sympathizers whether a post I had written in another forum, the James Randi Educational Foundation Forum (an atheistic skepticism forum) is hate speech. Because for writing this post: Quote: Okay, name&name, no more...

Re: End destiny of man... definitions of terms and what is every life form after? Thanks, Vaj, for your input. About definitions of terms like man and life and also the choice of a philosophy, the problem is who are to be taken as most to be depended upon for definitions and for the choice...

Thanks, Francis, for your informative post. We do have a number of similar drifts and a number of differing ones. Tell me though, what would you want to be the end destiny of man and life were you not a Buddhist by any measure and yardstick of Buddhism? Susma

in any event, our rejection of your OP is not a religious objection, rather it is a philosophical objection as the foundations upon which the question relies is based on a radically different ontology than what Buddha Dharma presents. -- Vaj Well, that is interesting. Do we have any common...

Re: Tell me Buddhists here and sympathizers... Dalai Lama and facts. In any event, when the Dalai Lama was asked which is the best religion, he replied, "Yours!" -- Samabudhi I would not take him seriously in this regard, because he does not have the habit of facts, evidence, and logic...

Re: End destiny of man and life in Buddhism... the simple and the complex answers. Since the Buddhists here and their sympathizers have not so far given any answers to the question what is the end destiny of man and life in Buddhism, I looked up in the Wikipedia the topics Buddhist eschatology...

Re: Tell me Buddhists here and sympathizers... test of a religion. Ipse dixit, he said so. Buddhism is a typical and conventional religion, its best followers are habituated to cite the words of their founder and their primitive by thousands of years doctrinaires. That is authoritarianism...

Re: End destiny of man and life in Buddhism... you have got to know it. I seem to notice that we have similar drifts and also dissimilar ones. Let me ask you a question which I hope you will not go away instead of answering it according to your best reasons and knowledge. You are a...

Re: End destiny of man... Let's start with what is meaningful for each of us. We are talking about the end destiny of man. And I am inviting Samabudhi to share with me what is meaningful to him as for myself, he is the one who asks me what is meaningful to me. So, I will say that what is...

Re: End destiny of man... Two kinds of truths in Buddhism...? Let me do a diagram of the whole universe of Buddhism and Buddhists in your knowledge about the teachings of Buddhism, but first I would like to ask you whether outside Buddhism and if you were not a Buddhist of this kind of...

Please read the following quotation carefully and thoughtfully, and tell me, Buddhists and sympathizers of Buddhists and Buddhism, is it tantamount to hate speech against Buddhism and Buddhists? If yes, why, and if not, what about seeing in it a message of extremely cruel and hateful content...

Re: End destiny of man.... Parinirvana is it. From my stock knowledge of Buddhism, everyman is supposed to be destined for Nirvana in this life, if you don't get there or attain that in this life you will come back again and again until you do; and when you do then you pass to Parinirvana...

Re: End destiny... What I mean by end destiny of man in Buddhism. I said Nirvana is the end destiny of man in Buddhism and for the whole universe. Maybe I should have said Parinirvana; but that might still to Buddhist doctrinaires not exactly correct in reference to the end destiny of man...

Re: Thanks, Brian, thanks for what? Assumption and presumption, what is the difference between the two words? In law the word presumption is more used than the word assumption, while in philosophy it is the word assumption that is more used. In religion? I think it is also the word...

The best and most perceptive study of a religion is to ask what is the end destiny of man and life in that religion. I have been a student of religions since when I started also getting the bug to do religion in my own personalistic way. No, no hand me down religion for me, I have got to have...

Re: Banned! I want to change the world for the better, ambitious, hahaha. Thanks, Libertylover. Wait, that is a violation of the rules, to write your name with the first letter in upper case; I got an almost warning from a mod at IIDB for that practice of mine, always writing a proper name...

Re: Banned! What about doing me that favor? Congratulations! Here is some food for thought to a new denizen in the world of message boards, from my spirit guide, Pes Oir Amsus: First they welcome you in, then they ban you, throw you out without ceremonies; and you do not demand, insist...

Re: Banned! I was banned also in a Buddhist forum aside from IIDB. I was in the E-Sangha Buddhist Forum for some two weeks time until they threw me out for disputing the teachings of Gautama and disparaging [sic] Buddhism. For these people any critique of Buddhism amounts to disparaging, and...

Re: Banned! Glad to know you also, and what about the favor? I took a leave of absence, a long one, because a confrere here from Turkey said something rather most unkind in foul words on me, people here including Brian don't know the language; so I left for an absence. Now, I am looking...

Re: Banned! Thanks, appreciate your attention and observation. Actually I can't read anymore what mods and admins tell people there, because I am outside already. This is one forum that is seemingly now looking back quite secretive. You can't use the search function if you are not...
