I have been depressed lately and started experimenting and reading new things One of which is buddhism after reading so much of it I realized how much it has related to me and my life Buddhists are completely peaceful and see the world and Humanity in all it's beauty therfore I am annoucing my conversion I just hope I don't have to shave my head

You don't have to shave your head unless you are a monk I don't think.

And prepare to be shit on by a lot of people.

And prepare to be shit on by a lot of people.>>

why do you say that?

HEY YOU GUYS

No offence but that is retarded. Buddists are all fucking wackos. At my job a claint is a buddist as well as a washed up co-worker of mine) and I take him to all these buddist things, and to listen to Thich Nach Hahn speak? You ever listen to what he says? it is at the level of an 8 year old. (He did write a book called "Becoming your own Theripist" I enjoyed) All the talks I have heard, and been to (believe me i have been to a lot) I am always thinking "wow this is incredibly behind my own thinking, it sounds like you are teaching to a 3rd grade chorus class". Also Buddism contradicts it self all the time. Look online and find some writings of Tich Nach Han's Dharma Talk, it is very contridicting at times. They Say Buddism isnt a "Religion" it is "A way of Life" fuck that! Why do they sell "prayer" flags for 25 bucks then, and "prayer beads" for 40. What are you praying too? Oh wait I forgot its a religion. Buddism is soo 1995, you should get into Kabballah to be into the new fashionable religion. Sorry to come off harsh that is just the way I feel, if you want more opinions of mine as well as negative experiences with the RELIGION let me know.

yo fuck you, back off Buddists

being a buddhist doesn't really change me that much as a person i'm still a metalhead I still Listen to black metal but I am more spiritually orianted and i feel that buddishm has always been who i am i just never relized it before

ok, i officially recognize this as a fake account because no one is that gay

tsk-tsk Aaron.

THE ELECTRIC COMPANY!

being a buddhist, can you listen to metal? if not its not worth it...all religion is trash...metal should be your only savior...good luck with that.

You can join my religion, we worship Goatsblood songs played backwards.

Are you gonna set your self on fire and sit motionless in front of the white house..if your a real buddhist shave your head, pour the gas, and prove to us all.

whore mastery, now thats a profession i should have got into

Oh and matt thanks for adding your review on our split, if you commence self immolation.....be listening to it in a walkman...if it doesnt melt to fast. think twice about this buddhist crap buddy!

joe..wanna set our selves on fire and hug homeless people?

yes

I don't think it's necessary that I answer that at this point.

buddihsm is not really a Religon per say it can also just but a spiritual mindset some may use as one but i prefer to just say it as a mindset like a way of thinking it hasn't softened me up in any way it just makes me feel much happier about myself and there is such thing as inner happiness you hust havn't discovered it yet

religion in nothing more than an escape for weak minded people.

I know a girl who ditched out on an apartment after we had already signed the lease, broke up with her boyfriend of 2 years, and took off leaving me to deal with a debt of hundreds of dollars that she had no intention of ever paying back. Her reasoning? She was going to be a Buddhist, she was engaging in a spiritual quest and was shedding all the unnecessary materialism in her life. By "unncessary materialism" she meant financial and personal obligations that had repercussions on more people than just herself. She gave up on Buddhism shortly after to follow a career as a full time couch hopping peice of shit.

She's really smart. You should ask her all about Buddhism and everything it can do for you.

my question is, why does one need deities and spirits in order to gain peace within? cant you do it on your own? why do you need a catalyst?

You fool. Without a church around you won't know what you're doing wrong. That's why we have churches, deacons, archbishops, the south, and Pat Roberts... to show us the distinction between finding peace, and finding peace the right way.

ooooh yeah, thats right. god, here i come!

yarrrr religion is for poseurs and metal is for soldiers!

Before my older brother got married, he had to get all chummy with the priest in the church he was to be wed in. My sister did this too before her wedding. They'd attend mass regularly for a few months before the wedding as to not upset the priest and then never go again after the wedding. My brother, though, knew how stupid it was. Whenever the church folk would chant the prayers and follow it up with "amen", he would instead follow them up with "yabadabadoo" loudly. Then when everybody was singing, he'd make sure to sing off key loudly. Also, he would periodically say "C'mon honey. Sing louder. The invisible man in the sky can't hear you" loudly so others could hear.

Yabadabadoo.

Brilliant.

oh shit, I spelled yabadabadoo wrong. There we go, fixed.

"Yabadaba-doo! I'm gonna rape-you!"

Do people into Buddism believe in karma and shit? If that is the case, then I know someone who says they are "buddist", but are a piece of trash that will rip you off in an instant and not live up to their obligations with their family. Hmmm, I guess he considers ditching his kids "material" goods. He is not too bright. Oh, and if the Karma is true, he will have plenty coming his way, in a bad way.

A good reason why buddists are great, they make the rest of us deal with our shit. Let's see a chirstian make a point like that.

Dharma of the Hindus is way more metal, read up the Mahabharata, and ramavyana, Rama and Arjuna are fucking metal, live the way of the warrior.

But Odin owns ye all
