 Coolness: 57655 | your body is a house, and you must learn to detach yourself from cold, heat, desires and pain.
sleeping on the floor IS comfortable. and attachment to material beings is an illusion. |

 Coolness: 685820 | Feelings and emotion, wether hot and cold or love and hate, are all just electrical impulses in your brain.
Learn to control the brain and feel only what you chose to feel. |

| Coolness: 41210 | where does this hostility come from guy ?
we might not be robots, but considering the large amount of existing human beings.. do you really think it matters in the long run if others remember you or what you did? you can find your life satisfying, but it still is unimportant.. -miche- .. towards a place where i could not find safety i went.. |

 Coolness: 127000 | nice topic cloak
my favorite aspect of the bodhisattva vow is bout Thanking Our Enemies Despite Their Intent and it goes a little something like this "If Others Disrespect Me Or Give Me Flack I'll Stop And Think Before I React Knowing That They're Going Through Insecure Stages I'll Take The Opportunity To Exercise Patience I'll See It As A Chance To Help The Other Person Nip It In The Bud Before It Can Worsen" yeah yeah it's from a song and shit but it's hella cool and i think i exercise it pretty well kinda hard to apply where fronting and not taking shit is sort of the culture but yeah i talk alot of shit about people also bwhahaha; one step at a time so maybe not in this lifetime "And In Times Of Doubt I Can Think On The Dharma And The Enlightened Ones Who've Graduated Samsara" |

| Coolness: 221995 | i'd like my life to be dust, cause it stays forever. unlike the wind that comes and goes, the grain of sand can evolve into glass, much like humans evolve ro simply just grow.. |

| Coolness: 127000 | i think the point she's trying to make is...
well actually this is what i think... that there are certain comforts in the world that we forget to appreciate and take for granted enlightment doesnt necesarily come through abandonment or detachment siddhartha had to actually go into the world of wealth and debauchery before he achieved eternal enlightment so yeah step in and out of the fog frequently cant ever live outside of it forever since we each create our own filter in perception of reality but dont become too dependant of it either cause you'll choke like a smoker suddently without cancer sticks and in sort of a response the robot biznit we're a complex circuitry of nerves that determine our rational and irrational thoughts and behavior... sometimes we're too rational or try to be too logical for our own good that's why everyone tries to break out the mold yknow like DUDE I'M A COSMO PSYCHONAUTIC COWBOY CHECK IN YOUR CHAKRA AT THE ENTRANCE SECRET LOCATION OF THE PARTY PROJECT YOURSELF INTO OMEGA CENTAURI FREE MESKEx-DGBMT-TC CHRONIC FOR THE FIRST 10 PEOPLE havent explored those realms which is probably why if i come off ignorant... i can't really spell either |

 Coolness: 152740 | True,
nice topic. I agree with Sam on this: "that there are certain comforts in the world that we forget to appreciate and take for granted enlightment doesnt necesarily come through abandonment or detachment" Alot of people merely sacralise the "simple" life and totaly reject the rest of life's pleasure. I think that it's missing the point... you can't juts idealise a life of suffering just to reject any wealth. Wealth and abundance are something to be treasured ... for it's appropriate worth. Those who reject it often enough just see the people taking it for granted that do not truely earn that wealth. But anyways, what do I know, I'm just a chain of neurons... + I'm so credible with my sig.... :lol |

| Coolness: 64135 | good topic.
there was a time when i felt nothing. no attachments, no pain, no love, no desire, nothing at all really. i don't think that i was enlightned, i was just numb, depressed and dead inside. i understand though what is meant though when detachment becomes enlightenment. but i also think that in that detachment from the human condition there must also be an understanding and an empathy towards it. because even if we are nothing but a chain of chemical impulses and hormonal reactions we still are. and if detachment becomes just another form of snobbery, if the detached consider themselves superior just in the fact that they do not give in or do not feel basic "human" emotions or physical discomforts, then it's not really enlightenment is it? i don't know. i'm only a chain of chemical reactions that is aware, and that can love and hate the container that holds those chemicals. a robot cannot love or hate itself. i have no idea if this makes any sense. |

| Coolness: 127000 | i say google it and a practising tibetan buddhist for crosschecking information purpose

| Coolness: 57655 | oh people, dear people.
i wanted to specify what was my description of happiness. being in total harmony with yourself and your surroundings is already a great step to achieve. illusory needs and overwhelming desires (such as sexual or material ones) will make a human soul perpetually unsatified. i think that happiness goes beyond these points. i mean, whatever happens, think it has to happen. as for me, i try to reverse any `negative` situation into a positive one thinking it could have exploded in a worse way if i wouldn't have gone through it. either way, i constantly learn and grow. listen to the silence and stop overthinking. let things flow as they are meant to. anyway, we're empty and bear as dust then die and become dust again. |
