Christ, My Bodhisattva

Pathless said:
I'd like to clarify that although I do believe Nirvana is found in the world and that Earth is literally Nirvana (perhaps just not collectively realized as such ath this point in Time by Her inhabitants), Nirvana is not limited to "this reality." Indeed, Earth and "this reality" are simply expressions of Higher Reality/Nirvana, which is infinite, in all things, is all things, and contains all things. :eek:

Hopefully that makes the prognosis (prognosis is good!) a bit easier to swallow, pattimax. :)

Peace,
Pathless

Perhaps faulty collective realization has led to a shaky forecast. (prognosis is questionable.);)

Yes, Peace

Rednecks love him. Count yourself fortunate for being among the unknowing regarding Larry. :)

Isn't that just a little patronizing? I have some serious redneck tendencies, and I know nothing more than the name "Larry the Cable Guy."

Jeff Foxworthy on the other hand... :D

Just to point out your prejudices... ;)

If yer idea of an evenings entertainment is a six pack and a bug zapper, you might be a redneck.

If you ever had to climb a water tower with a bucket of paint to defend yer sister's honor, you might be a redneck.

If yer front porch collapses, and it kills more'n three dogs, you might be a redneck.

Ah, the good ol' days when comedy was actually funny...

A peace frog gave it to me during an interstellar zen transmission.

What else would Nirvana be, if not reality? Unreal? ;)


by the way, maybe a mod-type should scoot this thread on over to Comparative forum.

Thinking of Jesus as the ultimate Guru...I never considered that perspective.

I think it's ok to stay here Pathless (the thread in Christianity). We're not debating the merits of one faith over another, but rather showing an integratedness between them (of a sort).

Very interesting...

oh, yeah if you see Jesus walking on water and the first thing that comes to mind is that He's scaring away the Bass...you might be a redneck. :D

"...quite a load of fertilizer on that one..." :D
 
hmmm Jeff Foxworthy, Buhdda, gurus and Jesus...now that's an unlikey troupe if I ever considered...:rolleyes: :p :D
 
Sorry about that. I had some very nice NASA and ancient culture shots on a screen saver. 1,2,3 and I lived in the same town at one point and we used to watch that. Inside joke. :)
 
Never thought I'd see nirvana being discussed in this forum. A bodhisattva refrains from taking the "final step" to nirvana in order to assist all sentient beings across to the other shore.

Do you agree with Pathless' reality definition of nirvana? Please understand that I don't want to debate this, it's been about 7 years since I seriously studied it. Have definitions changed that much?

Christianity focuses on transforming the mind.

Hey, this is good. I reckon it's not contentious to say the same of Buddhism. Not posting this as a jumping off point to highlight divergences but to highlight common ground.:)
