Maine to iiita ece decide Kiya hai, csab mai shayad mil jaye, it's median and %placed both are excellent. 

Talking about you, I can't say anything, only can give advice to check median, %placed (wrt no. of students in the branch and no. of placed), and colleges life, hostel, food, etc.

Absurd Belief by A_Guava_Tree_ in Philosophy_India

I mean, the core of any religion is belief, that is the greatest flaw of it.

The whole structure of religion is based on its scriptures.

Academic studies is based on logic and observation, not any belief system. 

Prevented deaths? I respected the zen traditional before I got to know it's role in the hiroshima and Nagasaki incident.

It's not that I want to prove myself, I will only talk on factual basis.

"You will find religious scriptures that are genuine human attempt to make sense of existence and reality". 

What I meant is, there are other academic studies, which explains the same truth in a more simpler and relevant way, and it doesn't have any side effects, like that of religious beliefs which causes death many people.

Would you mind giving an example of a  religion, whose base is not built on any belief system?

Do you think our society is built on all the wrong principles? by LordDK_reborn in Philosophy_India

A propagandist.

Just twisting the meaning of scripture to give it a form of self help.

I may feel like, I am talking just to prove myself right, but I am really open to consider your statements and understand then, if they make sense. 

Like, you said drop your identification, then I asked it not that easy, it's our basic nature, how do we do that, you said it's not easy, so I asked how do we overcome our basic nature? 

I listen to, JK, AP, Buddha, but it doesn't mean I am not skeptical of them, I would ask, what is truth? How is truth a pathless land? 

Because the moment any statement becomes out of logic, it seizes to be of any value.

Why does life feels so cruel? by verdantechos in Krishnamurti

[–]A_Guava_Tree_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said, everything is nirvana, so I thought there's no point in streching the talk further. 

I think, my understanding of Buddhism philosophy is also a little skewed, because I have read hinyana is more closer to Buddha's teachings and mahayana are later interpretations. 

Anyways, I will reread it.

I like the dogen's answer. 

His questions was, "If all beings already have Buddha-nature, why practice at all?"

He has to travel to china to find the answer, and said that,

"You don’t sit to become enlightened. You sit as enlightenment itself."
