In fact my agression is one of my... downfalls
i get nasty and scare others...
The point of Buddhism is to actively seek quietness and stillness, within Theravada.
In Vajrayana Buddhism they do this but do it to prepare for further enlightenment by the writings of Buddha handed down to them.
You are Orthodox, right? @Rex Colt
lol I got an odd belief
I dont know
Hmm
i kinda go my own way
Well, you might be interested in a book called the Philokalia.
I also support "burial via feeding corpses to animals"
whcih bugs some people
It is full of stuff from the Eastern theologians and may help with spiritual life
Like sky burial and shit
That's cool.
i just think it's better
I mean if you're in the ground you end up becoming food for maggots and mold
When you're dead, you probably won't care all too much.
yeah
I'd rather something like birds or hyenas or wolves or something eat my corpse
No you wouldn't, because you would not be conscious of the life you had lived.
Nah I got this odd idea
In fact, there may be no **YOU** at all
where I think your "awareness"
is trappd in a single cosmic string or quirk
and if you're burried in a coffin or cremated
it prevents you from... being reborn
it's weird
I mean maybe it has some metaphysical effect but I don't see it. What makes you think this?
The fact I felt myself become a single "string" when meditating
Hmm... and you think it is good practice to interpret the emanations of the mind?
I have no idea
people might get mad
feeding dead bodies to wild animals
That is their issue.
I just read a snake actually ate a woman
Eh, some people are into that.
on the news
lol
I know a guy
