BarbarraBay ::: Favorites Tao means "the way". 4th Noble Truth in Buddhism is called "Magga", which means to way. Tao says the more you try to change the world the more you ruin it. Buddha disallowed his monks to even talk about politics. Christainity may be political but please do not compare it to genuine holiness. Did not God say: 'Do not covet'. 07-02-23 07:14:08 _____________________________________________________
careypeak23 ::: Favorites Jesus was against religion. the only time he got angry is at religious leaders. You dont have to do anything to be ok, you are and always have been perfect for eternity, which is how long we've been around. We are in the middle of the trinity by way of a bond that cant be broken. The ego is barking up the tree of knowledge, and that isnt the answer. All that exists is life(love). Science says there are no absolutes, buddha says we are the observer(holy spirit). 07-08-01 20:51:54 _____________________________________________________

careypeak23 ::: Favorites Religious leaders say you have to do something to be ok, jesus said just believe you are and you are. The mind will lie, the heart dosent. The physical is a manifestation of belief, for belief is an action. What you believe is the way. Jesus said the way is to love yourself unconditionally and you automatically love god and your neighbor, there is no difference, its all the same thing. 07-08-01 20:56:18 _____________________________________________________
careypeak23 ::: Favorites Jesus was adam, Melchesidek,and a couple of other people. He was a buddha, but christians will never admit that. He was a wine bibber, hung out with drug addicts and prostitutes and fishermen. He broke every jewish law, just to say none of this religiosity matters. He was concerned with the dream in everyones heart for security,identity, and belonging. He spoke in parables, and i'm convinced the decription of hell is a parable 07-08-01 21:05:03 _____________________________________________________
