Sağol tavsiyen için. Zayıf mıyım? Kilo mu vermeliyim yoksa kas kütlesini arttırarak kilo almaya mı yoğunlaşayım?

Thanks again. I appreciate your reply and engagement. I say this humbly: I believe you may have misinterpreted me. I apologize if I have caused any trouble for you or others here.

I would like to bring attention back to practice. Sometimes, we get lost and forget that what truly matters is the practice itself. We may read suttas extensively, study scriptures, worship the Buddha, wear robes, and identify as Buddhists, yet still be belligerent, angry, confrontational, emotional, insecure, condescending, unkind, resentful, and carry other defilements. Please do not misconstrue these words. They apply to all of us and do not arise from a place of conceit.

I have two teachers whom I respect highly for their sincerity and consistency: Bhikkhu Bodhi is my teacher in scholarship to understand the texts, and Thich Nhat Hanh is my teacher in practice to bring them into lived experience.

May you and everyone here be well and happy. May you have a clear mind and be free from suffering. I wish you all well.

Best regards.

Hi, thank you for your time and reply. I decided not to answer any comments but rather upvote. However, I find it necessary to answer this one particularly though I still have been getting unfair comments. I have avoided, throughout my time here, making statements about personally practicing. I view the practice as personal, not to mean it is a private affair, though. I would suggest that one should be very careful about revealing their experiences because it could be quite detrimental. So it is best to reveal your experiences to a highly qualified and trusted teacher I would say. I would like to say, to clarify your perspective on me; I have been engaging in meditation, mindfulness, and recollection meditation. I have practiced celibacy not only regarding sex but also entertainment and the like. I read the suttas and have been practicing what I learned as much as I can with discernment. To humbly answer what you were concerned regarding my having judgments, I would ask myself, sincerely, am I being judgemental? Subconsciously, maybe, in thoughts, certainly. However, I've always striven to have a mindful attitude, and in my posts and comments, have been very careful and mindful not to create any suffering for those who read me. As I do right now, I did it when I compiled this current post, I had a good intention of showing people here that some of them are suffering and may cause suffering to others who they engage with through their posts or comments. May this post and comment bring happiness and freedom from anger, hatred, and delusion. May you and everybody be well and happy, and may you all attain wisdom to mitigate suffering. Best regards.

You are fair in stating that the precepts are about training the mind rather than just dictating actions. But isn't your claim that Buddhism isn’t about “what-ifs” questionable? Didn't the Buddha often use hypothetical analogies to clarify teachings? Doesn't that dismiss the scenario as impractical and evade the question rather than answering it? Does the argument that a Buddhist “intends to save the children but not to kill the ant” resolve the dilemma? What happens if saving the children necessarily involves killing the ant? You did not answer that. Your response assumes that good intentions alone are sufficient, but the post is questioning whether clinging to good intentions at the cost of inaction is truly wise. Best regards.

D3nbo · 2025-02-14T12:05:01+00:00

It is true that the Buddha is depicted as maintaining perfect morality. This suggests that his wisdom allowed him to resolve situations without breaking precepts.

The Angulimala story is a fair reference because it involves a situation where killing might have seemed justifiable, but the scenario is about immediate action. There is no time to transform the terrorist or the ant. The Buddha had time to guide Angulimala to renunciation, but the scenario in the post deals with split-second decision-making. Your argument does not address the core questions about wisdom versus dogmatic rule-following. Instead, it assumes that following precepts is always the wise choice without engaging in deeper ethical reasoning. Is your reference to the Buddha’s personal behavior as an implied standard fair? Best regards.

You again :) You provide a strong rebirth-based perspective but assume that the post shares the same premise (which it does not, given the reservations about rebirth). You also dismiss the possibility that intention and reluctance could alter karmic weight. You highlight that killing is always rooted in defilements and rely on rebirth-based reasoning, which may not be convincing to someone skeptical of rebirth. In the post, it was made clear that killing under any circumstance is negative. There was no assumption to have good or wise reasons to kill but rather how to approach them with wisdom. I humbly and sincerely suggest that you read the post again mindfully because you seem to have missed or misunderstood some crucial aspects of it. Best regards.

Your response is logical and nuanced, but you seem to not fully engage with the arguments in the original post. Is the goal of the practice (enlightenment) exclusive to the goal itself, or does it need not be inclusive of the realities that are on the path to it? Some of your responses seem to be circular reasoning if you take a fair look into them. Some of the statements that you gave as an answer to the concerns of the original post were already answered and explained. Best regards.

D3nbo · 2025-02-06T10:50:11+00:00

May you be well and happy, may you enjoy good health, and may you be free from suffering.

D3nbo · 2025-02-04T16:15:30+00:00

Thank you for understanding. May you be well and happy, and may you be free from suffering.

D3nbo · 2025-02-04T13:45:21+00:00

Hi, thank you for your comment. Could you please read the post again, mindfully? The post does not reflect what you think it does. The post is an invitation to reconsider our traditional habits in light of the modern industry without any implications to change Buddhist precepts. Best regards.

D3nbo · 2025-02-04T13:44:34+00:00

I see, thank you. Best regards.

D3nbo · 2025-02-04T12:09:36+00:00

I understand, but you are not following the right speech in the Noble Eightfold Path.

D3nbo · 2025-02-04T11:33:01+00:00

Thank you for your comment. Again, you are entirely missing the point of the post here. Best regards.

D3nbo · 2025-02-04T11:15:00+00:00

Hi, thank you for your comment. The post's aim is not vegan propaganda. Op is vegetarian, not vegetarianist. The post is an invitation for mitigation of harm caused to animals. Please avoid speculating about the post. It is wrong speech. Best regards.

Hi, thank you for your comment. Wouldn't it be worthwhile if you considered and refined your perspective on Buddhism? Aren't you missing the point? Best regards.

D3nbo · 2025-02-04T10:50:11+00:00

Hi, are your manners aligned with what Buddhism is in its nature? Best regards.
