I hope the durian don't fall on him .. bald head no protection siah.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:BTW, whenever a Buddha attains enlightenment under a tree, that tree will be called bodhi tree. Bodhi = Enlightenment. The BODHI (enlightenment) is important, not the tree. So if a Buddha happens to attain enlightenment under a durian tree, the durian tree will be called the Bodhi Tree. In the future, Maitreya Buddha will attain enlightenment under another kind of tree, called the Dragon-Flower tree. Dragon-Flower tree will then become the Bodhi Tree of the era.
Maciam like the usual research where they try to figure out what is the fruit of the tree that Eve eat...Originally posted by Icemoon:I hope the durian don't fall on him .. bald head no protection siah.
Wait .. Buddha was not bald .. monks are.
Nice attempt.Originally posted by breytonhartge:You draw the line where the Holy Spirit convicts you.
The truth you are referring to is? Enlightenment is?Originally posted by An Eternal Now:Let me be the 'devil's advocate' by voicing out my opinions.
Christians focus on merely having FAITH in what is supposedly the TRUTH.
Buddhists focus on REALISING the TRUTHS themselves
God is one, though He may be worshipped in different forms and by different names.Originally posted by breytonhartge:don't look at man, look to GOD, speak to Him and ask Him to show you who He really is. I have and will always maintain, Christianity is a personal relationship with God, not the Church or the people in the Church. It is all about you and God, no one else.
Jesus also said that if we believe in him, we can also be like him. Thats self realisation also.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:Let me be the 'devil's advocate' by voicing out my opinions.

Seriously, I dont think what he writes is controversial. It also echoes icemoon also said. More like a summary of each faith's mission or how each faith works.Originally posted by Chin Eng:The truth you are referring to is? Enlightenment is?
Another "bigotted" way to paraphrase your statements:
Christians focus on merely having FAITH in what we know as TRUTH
Buddhists focus on REALISING something they perceive to be the TRUTH.....
My point is: why the need to state a controversial statement in EH? At this present time and dimension, neither one of us is able to prove our statements to each other.
I do not encourage any Christian to go into the Buddhist Wisdom site to write controversial stuff about each other's beliefs. So chill!
Buddha was bald and has shaven his head. But when the Buddha cut his hair for the first time, the uncut portions snapped into 'snail-shell' curls and he never had to cut his hair again.Originally posted by Icemoon:I hope the durian don't fall on him .. bald head no protection siah.

That is just so ignorant of you. The only type of music that can be considered satanic is probably Black Metal, which sometimes contains themes of evil or even anti-christ. All other music is fine.Originally posted by assfer:rock music
sounds like some cultic teachingOriginally posted by maggot:God loves mankind and want mankind to join him in heaven.....
As the only to go to heaven is by death.....
Why not all the "believers" commit mass suicide and join GOD in heaven?
Then this world will have PEACE
