I am a Buddhist and if anyone wants to question my beliefs then they are welcome to do so...

Wtf? You seem to be trapped in a debate with yourself.

Ha Ha just waiting for a bite….bulma……

I know all about the inward ONLY meditative techniques that Buddhism practices ….You need to practice inward/outward meditation,PERIOD and NOT just inward only meditation.

You are NEVER “in the moment” when you practice “inward” only meditation.

I know all about inward only meditation because I practiced it for years.It was only when I put the brakes on and turned back that the “meltdown” happened so I know all about mental health struggles as well.

Trying to bring the computer back on line after a “crash” is hell itself…..I know the experience that many know about extreme mental health battles.

Don‘t “toggle” in the inward state …..“toggle” between the inward/outward consciousness states......I offer sound advice that works.

The thing is, it’s alright when the autopilot part of our nature is working ok….but when it fails and you are handed the controls fully and the plane is going into “free fall” and you have no means of stopping it because you haven’t got the instruction manual, then it’s NOT GOOD,I can assure you.

Lived it…experienced it all….so I am serious about absolutely everything I post.

I know all about extreme “fight or flight” and all the hellish and I mean hellish mental anguish that causes it.

I got the “blue screen” when my system went down and I had to reboot it myself because after all nobody else was going to do it for me. You learn an awful lot about yourself and the system (by torturous trail and error at times) and how it operates and how you relate to it during this process.

The answers are within us. I am as sure as I can be on that point ….however……and it is a big however…..I have learnt that to find those answers you need to go about it in the right way and inward ONLY meditation like Buddhism practices, is not the right way.

You do go “within” (go out of synch) but you must come back out again (back in synch) and APPLY what you have learn’t.

This is the meditative practice that you need to work at.

Once you are AWARE of the inward and outward states of consciousness, focus a bit more on what you are AWARE of whilst in the OUTWARD state…..or “in synch” state.

I would suggest that you start off by “talking“ to yourself inwardly and then consciously stop talking to yourself inwardly and notice the silence. Practice this exercise ALWAYS.

It is so important that you know and get confidence in the sound of your own inward voice and KNOW that you can talk to yourself and stop talking to yourself “inwardly”.

This may sound ridiculous but it is crucial to be able to distinguish between your own voice and all the other noise that goes on within the head.

Another example of outward meditation is an AWARENESS that disassociation is connected to going “inward” or “out of synch”.Bring yourself back “in synch” or “in the moment” and the disassociation experiences will gradually disappear.

The above are further examples of “outward“ meditation/ACTION.

If you don’t recognise “SELF” then you are effectively saying that it is not possible to do these “outward” meditative ACTIONS because “SELF” doesn’t exist to be able to do them.

You can believe that cr*p if you want but for me ACTIONS speak louder than words.

You see this is what happens when you have a “starting point” but you are then only prepared to to go one way and accept/acknowledge one type of meditative practice as in just “INWARD“ meditation, choosing to completely ignore/discount “OUTWARD” meditation, and yet it is the “OUTWARD“ meditative practice ACTIONS that makes more sense to the individual.

In SUMMARY………..Buddhism meditation is a …….consciously, one sided …….inward only ……….”out of sync” and thus “not in the moment” meditative practice.

…It’s the most consciously UNBALANCED meditative practice that there is and therefore SHOULD NOT be practiced in isolation from OUTWARD meditation.

Inward/Outward meditation should be practiced together.

PERIOD.

(Sorry, I only know a little about meditation and nothing about Buddhist meditation. So I was having trouble responding)

I do know that the Buddhists have this thing about inner being true, and outer being false. And I do know that when I was thinking, if I was lost in my own ****, I was 100x more messed up than thinking about other stuffs.

Basically from their analysis, they reject Western style prayer and meditation.)

The Christians also had a meditation tradition (it mentions prayer and meditation in the Bible), but I suspect they didn't have a meditation posture, and were simply sitting (or even lying down) and thinking. But their focus is more people-centered, an outer path.
In fact... there is this film called The Man from Earth which discusses the idea of an immortal man, who learned from the Buddha, and eventually became (shocking spoiler: Jesus). They kinda discuss the faint theory, which I totally don't agree with. But here's one thing I do know. There is a version of the Prodigal Son in Buddhist text.

Where would Jesus have gotten such ideas? Well possibly from the kings (magi?) who visited him. It's possible they came fron quite far away, as far as China or Japan. Buddhism is quite old, so is Zoroastrianism. The third? Well I'm not sure but I'll get to that. The tradition of Africa, Europe, Asia doesn't really stack up. They were all from Asia, and they seem to have brought with them writing or teachings, because Jesus clearly knew this story.

You see, the Zoroastrian religion looks for savior figures. That's part of its focus. They have Saviors (plural) and are constantly on the lookout for one. They rejected Jesus in much the same way most Christians have, they are looking for one in the future (much like Christian ppl look for Jesus's coming again, instead of understanding the resurrection). And an Ahriman offshoot eventually became Islam (which wholly rejects Christianity)
https://authenticgathazoroastrianism.org/2013/09/02/the-future-savior-saoshyant-of-zoroastrianism-and-saoshyantship-in-the-poetic-gathas/
As for the Buddhists, not only is there a Maitreya (future Buddha) but they later had the search for the Dalai Lama. The Mahayana Buddhist sect also is on the lookout for boddhisatva figures, or savior types. So, they accepted Jesus when he went back to his country, right? Well, no.
https://jashow.org/articles/buddhism-and-jesus-christ/

Why is this important? Well, like the Jews, most people who encountered Jesus rejected him. So this story tells about how they gave gifts, and then went back to their own country, declaring they had seen their chosen one. It's probable they visited another time to verify (closer to his death). This outer path meditation (which is more in line with Western and particularly Christian thought), is soundly rejected. But there are Buddhist prophecies of exactly the sort of person Jesus was.
http://peopleofyes.com/the-golden-boat-buddhas-prophecy-of-christ.html/
http://tibetanbuddhistencyclopedia.com/en/index.php/Siddhartha_Gautama_Buddha_prophecies_Jesus

Okay, so who was the last wise man? Well, in ancient China, there is a story about how Lao Tzu, after writing his Taoist text, left the country. Given that, there were probably a small group of Taoists or Zen types outside China. Jesus seems very chill, and like the Zoroastrians and Buddhists, they find a reason to reject Jesus (or rather they are for the most part atheists, in terms of the philosophy of Jesus, there is a fairly good match in the teaching of unconditional love; Taoist text talks about not esteeming great people, and the defiance of the Confucian order of society fits in with much of Jesus's very rebellious ideas). And both are called the Way.

Nonetheless, none of these faiths saw Jesus as their answer. Yet, Jesus predicts that may not always be the case. In John 10:16, Jesus says he has "other sheep who are not of this fold. "

Thanks for all this Bulma…..really interesting….so it would appear that even the Buddha recognised the pointlessness of trying to correct our own sins in our own merit and even described a future saviours wounds which according to the Christian bible were identical to the wounds of Jesus Christ…..and all this he spoke 500 years!!! before Jesus lived on earth…..

What’s going on then? Don’t Buddhist believe what their Buddha said? Is that it?

They seem not to believe this scripture.

And I definitely can't verify this prophetic writing, because it's originally in text written in Thai (not my first language).

I legit believe Buddhists do have interactions with Christianity (the prodigal son story was straight-up lifted in the text I read called The Teaching of Buddha (it has a sunrise on the cover)), but it is unclear about this prediction. I found this text (The Teaching of Buddha, not the earlier text I mentioned) difficult to get through because despite Buddha says "If you see the Buddha, kill him," much of the text appeared to make him a rival of God to worship. I found it a disgusting distortion.

The thing is, there has always been a sort of split between the founders of religion and their priests.

Jesus: You have seen these priests and their long robes, and wanting to be greeted in the marketplace, don't be like them.
Tele-Evangelist: (owns fancy cars)

Jesus (again): So, guys, I rose again. "I will be with you always." Spread the word that there is grace and we now have a personal relationship with God
Most Christians: Jesus is gone, and he'll will come again at End Times.

Isaac/Jacob/Abraham: (meets God in the wilderness, and while traveling)
Jews in Jesus's Day: Everyone must worship in the Temple. God is only found in the Temple.

Buddha: There are no gods, so if you see me on the road, kill me.
Buddhist priests: Buddha was basically a deity

You get the idea. If Buddha did write this prediction, it was kept out of canon.

CONSCIOUSNESS……. that thing Buddhism and modern day secular science says is all we are.

Now we know that there is an “in the moment” state and a “not in the moment” state of consciousness and we know that Buddhism IS an “inward only” “not in the moment” consciousness meditative practice.

We know that the division happens whilst the individual is within this one sided “not in the moment” consciousness state…….”dualism and all that”…….

The “out of synch” Buddhist/Person who practices Buddhism meditation then comes out of this one sided unbalanced consciousness state which has been divided and then try’s to tell us the true nature of reality.

Uummmmmm……..surely, we can all see the problem with that?

If you go into “inward” consciousness and then divide you then become a “Prisoner of Consciousness” toggling from right to left and left to right ………you are not “in synch” and “not in the moment”…….therefore bring yourself back out…….back “in synch”…back “into the moment”.

AWARENESS sits above CONSCIOUSNESS.

INWARD only,“OUT OF SYNCH” and therefore “UNBALANCED” consciousness meditative practices, (Buddhism meditation being a typical example) are not good for mental health because they are merely “knowledge gathering” exercises.

Buddha just sits silently（坐禅）in his own temple and tens of millions people go there to pilgrimage and put billions of bills into his Morality Box (功德箱).

If somebody “sure enough” he can replace G* / Lord of creature. Why not establish his own church and sing his own “bible”? Not capable to do that? Or fear no one would go there to prey? Bully what here?
If somebody “sure enough” he is the most powerful in this cosmos, please go to Shaolin Temple (少林寺) and has a try to bully bully there.
阿弥陀佛

When somebody tries to insult this one or attack that one, pee on the ground as a mirror and take a look at himself first. Is it very perfect / COMPLETE呵呵

I am not insulting anyone htam9876….it’s just your aggressive AUTOPILOT “caged logic” ignorance that makes you think that.

You know nothing about consciousness htam9876 therefore you have no control over it….and yet you have the capacity within you to understand it.

When you are more AWARE…..then comment……until then…….the best thing to do is stay silent.

You only post nonsense my friend because you are so UNAWARE.

You just don’t realise it.

Buddhism “inward only” meditative practice is an “out of synch” …”unbalanced”…”not in the moment” ….”Autopilot” …..“knowledge only gathering” CONSCIOUSNESS practice…….PERIOD……

If your consciousness state is “out of synch” to start with …well…I rest my case.You have to STILL consciousness.

Buddhism “inward only “ meditation is a “BIASED CONSCIOUSNESS”meditative practice that has no concept of “PRESENCE”.

I think I accept Buddhism until it tries to deify its founder. Christianity actually did make the outrageous claim that Jesus was the Son of God, but Buddha made no such claim. People give to Buddha not because he is Lord of the universe, but because they believe in the system he taught.

Piggy not yet joined any religion. So, piggy did little research in this respect. I think “People give to Buddha” mainly because they wish to satisfy their own psychology with this method. Buddha just sits there and laugh…Of course, “ they believe in the system he taught”. Buddha promotes morality, harmony and charity. Many people appreciate such things.
The ancient Chinese fiction “Travelling to the West” did deify Buddhism. It even deified a pig. Haha
Have a lovely weekend.

Piggy can’t find out where’s the J – 10 Temple / Church…Piggy doesn’t know “why”…
Shaolin Temple is in Henan province, very big, with grand architectures and beautiful environment…
The most wonderful thing could the that a martial monk there just pushes with one finger, J – 10 bully bully would surely fall onto the ground on his back and meditate all day all night, INWARD / OUTWARD, +/- +/-, toggle toggle, perhaps bubble bubble too…呵呵 This point can be verified with experiment.

The issue bulma is that science knows nothing about consciousness.

It’s about balance bulma and we know that Buddhism meditative practice is carried out in the “not in the moment” consciousness state….i.e. the individual goes “inward” and therefore does not have balanced consciousness.The individual may divide whilst in this meditative state but it still doesn’t change the fact that they are in an “inward” out of balance consciousness state when they start their meditations.

I gave up on “inward” only meditative practices years ago when I became sufficiently aware of consciousness types.

I have to disagree I have lived in both Kent and Somerset. I have only ever heard jasper used in Kent, never in Somerset.

And although I don't live in Somerset now, I live close by, and I still spend a lot of time there. My father lives there.

I appologize. That was an example of buzzed posting.

I'll try to find what I meant to send you, a definition of Jasper as a "sucker" or a "nitwit".
