Buddhism

Can Buddhism and capitalism coexist?
Can you be both a Buddhist and pure (every man for himself) capitalist?

I want to give one of these 10 day retreats a try sometime

Vipassana is very intense at 10 days
The above group does 3 day "intro" courses before you are allowed to take a more intense 7/10 day course.

They are both (pretty much all yoga) is based on Anapanasati so are similar in nature.

You are in Kingwood so the above link is local to you.

Namaste.

Buddhism is horse hockey.... that’s paraphrased from the Bible.

Thanks! I could peel off three days way easier than 10. Plus you gotta have a buffer on the tail end to process and reacclimatize before rejoining work, family, etc. I will check it out.

I have read and listened to the Dao De Jing and I have experienced the place of nothingness it describes. It isn’t Christian, but it isn’t necessarily anti-Christian. I believe it is more a tool or a means to experience the gifts God has given us.

Agnostic here. Antjropology seems believable.

Don’t take this the wrong way, or that I’m trying to sway your beliefs, but I’m going to pray for you this morning, very simple prayer, for peace and understanding in your life

The term "agnostic" literally means "without knowledge".

Please, no Christian advice or endless bible phrases please.

Was in a really interesting conversation today regarding Buddhism and Christianity and it got me thinking....
Anyone on the Green Screen practice Buddhism or keep it as a side belief ?

Seems a lot of folks can't resist the urge to not adhere to the OP's simple request. I am an agnostic who lives as closely as I can to Zen tenets.

Not surprising the resident libs are Buddhist monks

I'm curious, if it's against the first precept [in Buddhism] to harm, kill or eat sentient beings as it is the same as harming, killing or eating the flesh of our own child or mother, are there any bow hunters in Buddhism?

Good question and I have no good answer which is why I don't claim to be 100% Buddhist. I have a fundamental disagreement with any faith path that claims certain forms of life have more or less value than others. In the case of Buddhism, the fact that killing plants for sustenance is okay but not animals is a major hang up for me. I'm a middle 3 adherent...b/c let's face it, I like my meat, beer & coffee

That's because, as Christian's, we are called to honor Jesus instructions concerning something called the Great Commission. It was the last command given by Jesus before ascending into heaven. It can be found in the Bible in Matthew 28:16-20 if you want to study it some time.

Zen Buddhism is a philosophy; not a religion. I study both Zen Budhism and Northern European Paganism. Both very natural philosophemes. Happy Mōnandæg (moon day) yall!
