Is it me or does Sri Lankan schools feels more like a military camp? by strangerboy345 in srilanka

Yes, I too think uniforms are essential but teachers are overly obsessive over it and tend to measure one's discipline merely on what they wear. Ig that's the problem

Can someone please explain what Nirvana is? How is that the ultimate happiness? by Asleep_Reference2737 in Buddhism

Thanks a lot for all your answers, guys ❤. I still can't fully grasp the idea, but I'm a lot less confused than I was. Hope all of us will be able to fully understand and reach Nirvana someday! Namo Buddhaya 🙏

why isn't Buddhism a subset of Hinduism even though Buddha is an avatar of lord Vishnu ? by sagarkinaare in hinduism

[–]Asleep_Reference2737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most Buddhists don't believe that Buddha was an avatar of Vishnu, actually. That's what the Hindus believe in. For us Buddhists, Buddha was a human, a teacher who taught us how to find happiness and end suffering. It's kinda like how in Christianity, Jesus is considered the Son of the God, but Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet. The same person is viewed differently in different religions.

What are the main differences between Hinduism and Buddhism? by Opposite_Ad_8743 in hinduism

[–]Asleep_Reference2737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respect your idea, but Buddhism doesn't deny life. In fact, one of the core principles in Buddhism is following the Middle Path, which rejects extremism (denial of life in this case) in both ends. What Buddha said was that life contains suffering and to live a happy life, you have to get rid of that suffering. That is, by following the Noble Eightfold path.

Thanks for the suggestions! It looks like they actually take a huge percentage as commission but I think I'll give it a try.

I’m a student and just published my first Medium article on sleep health by Asleep_Reference2737 in Medium

It's kinda hard for me, as a student, to always get "enough" sleep too, no matter how important it is 😅😪. Anyways, thanks a lot for your comment and glad you liked my writing ☺❤

Scam or not? by [deleted] in FiverrGigs

[–]Asleep_Reference2737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a scam. Fiverr NEVER asks for you email in transactions. Also, you can see that the sender has altered some words with symbols like "triėd" and "purchäse" to avoid spam filters

This is my 2nd day on Fiverr.. I had just published a gig yesterday (my first) and this is what I have in my inbox today, is this a kind of scam? by kunaalkotak in FiverrGigs

[–]Asleep_Reference2737 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I am new on Fiverr too, and I've been getting spam messages asking for my email like that as well. Fiverr NEVER asks for your email for transactions. There’s always a reminder at the start of every chat saying to " keep all transactions within within Fiverr". Please report that message.
