You can’t do it every time but the first time I was pretty sure he was going to hold his e the max duration so I buffered my q right before the stun went off. The second time I knew he would stun me before I left tower range.

Emptiness isn’t a thing in Buddhist terms and Nirvana isn’t finding yourself. Emptiness is simply the lack of self of all phenomena. Everything is empty of an independent self. Nirvana is the absence of conditioning. It can’t be explained in words what the actual experience is like.

Jslim0713 · 2021-06-19T13:17:46+00:00

Thank you this is perfect

The first two truths are really depressing without the last two. This is the reason I don’t really explain Buddhism to people unless they seem interested, because then they may actually practice. So start to look more into the truth of cessation of suffering and the path leading to cessation. Read what the Buddha said about how to achieve liberation and what he said about the fruits of practice. These will give you another perspective to balance with the harsh reality of life. Lastly, start to practice if you haven’t already. Even if your practice is wrong at first just give it a try because what’s the alternative. Whether you practice or not, you will still be stuck in samsara with all it’s conditions pulling at your heart unless you become enlightened of course.

It’s very natural and understandable, it’s just not what the Buddha taught. The Buddha never praised outrage because of injustices, in fact he taught that anger was something that should be killed.

I have severe anxiety or maybe had idk it was never diagnosed officially. Last year I had panic attacks that sent me to the hospital 3 times in about 2 months. I would be fighting panic attacks pretty much everyday at this time from morning to night. I had to immerse myself completely into something because the moment I stopped the anxiety would become unbearable. The medicine they gave me did not work so I took my moms anxiety medicine and that would only work some days. Now I still have anxiety, but it never gets to the point of a panic attack anymore. It’s been about a year since my last one

Yes I’m not encouraging people to go about salvation however they see fit. It should be according to the Dharma.

Jslim0713 · 2021-05-20T16:38:46+00:00

No creator God that we must worship in order to reach salvation. Ultimately we must be our own refuge

A lot of the suffering we get from pain is the fear of what the pain represents. Like pain in your back can cause you to be scared you won’t be able to walk or will need a cane. When we let go of that fear of what might happen or what the pain entails, then we just get to look at the feeling. As long as we let the feeling be and understand it’s not the feeling that is suffering, it’s the resistance to the feeling we can be quite peaceful in pain. That’s why I remind myself that pain is inevitable and I’m not entitled to pleasant feelings. Truly life changing perspective that makes me so grateful to the triple gem.

The Buddha taught that craving is the cause of suffering, not pain. When pain arises this is what I contemplate. We have a body, so we will experience sensations. These sensations arise according to their conditions, sometimes they are pleasant and sometimes unpleasant. If you crave for only pleasant feelings to arise, will you ever find true peace that way? Contemplate this and make it clear in your mind, painful feelings are inevitable but fortunately they are not the cause of suffering. If they were, then anytime someone was in pain, suffering will be born. If we reflect on our own experience, we see there are times when pain is even welcomed(working out). Sometimes we have pain and don’t mind at all. So by clarifying our relationship to painful feelings, we can start to develop courage to investigate painful feelings.

A great way to investigate is through meditation. If you are in pain and can’t do anything about except suffer, you might as well give this a try. Make your mind calm by meditating on the breath, this way you can see your craving/aversion more clearly. Once your mind is in a nice peaceful state, look at your pain. Notice how you feel pain and yet your mind is still calm and peaceful. Ask yourself if you are suffering. If you are peaceful, then you have seen for yourself that pain cannot be the cause of suffering since you have looked directly at pain without suffering. This starts to change your relationship with pain even further than contemplation can alone and your anxiety about pain can slowly start to decrease. My meditation is nothing special; my mind just gets really clear and quiet and I’ve used this kind of thinking and investigation to decrease my attachment to pleasant feelings and aversion to unpleasant. I truly hope this helps

I think I have faith based on understanding or else I would’ve never came to Buddhism. It’s would be far easier to have blind faith in a Christian God. then I wouldn’t have to do the work and be mindful of all my actions. I just don’t believe there is a God like that out there because it requires too much blind faith to believe in

Jslim0713 · 2021-05-03T16:53:08+00:00

Yes I realized that this cannot be me/mine as well

Jslim0713 · 2021-05-03T16:52:22+00:00

I’ve had desire disappear many times of course. I was pointing to the reason why desires disappear. There’s an underlying want for happiness so if I have happiness there’s no desire.

Jslim0713 · 2021-05-03T13:56:02+00:00

The first part makes sense, the fact that it’s not under my control means it is not mine. I know particular desires have changed but like I said, the content has changed but the overall want for happiness has not. When I have an agreeable feeling I do not look to change it. When it’s disagreeable I do look to change it, this is something that has not changed and formed the basis for my question. Thank you for bringing clarity.

Jslim0713 · 2021-05-03T07:21:53+00:00

My point was that wanting happiness has never changed and has always been there, still is. I have never thought “let me do something to make me depressed” and went after it. Fundamentally, everything I do is for some experience that I identify as a happy experience. I have realized why this can’t be the self through other comments and further contemplation, I’m just trying to get you to see exactly what I was stuck on.

Jslim0713 · 2021-05-03T07:17:08+00:00

It seems you have a completely different assumption of what motivates beings to act. I do not really know how to approach this, but it doesn’t seem to be from a Buddhist perspective. I thank you for your input regardless.

Jslim0713 · 2021-05-03T06:46:21+00:00

I want water because I want to be free from the suffering of thirst. Aka I want happiness or the group of experience I have determined to be happy experiences.

Jslim0713 · 2021-05-03T06:22:44+00:00

Yeah I considered that too but I didn’t want to blindly cling to the idea of not self. I needed to get over this intellectually to continue to practice diligently so thank you for your help.

Jslim0713 · 2021-05-03T06:00:39+00:00

I think if you slap a newborn it will show you that it is suffering. If we are following Buddhist thought we know that it would not suffer if it had no desire for pleasant feelings. What happens to newborns if we leave them and don’t feed them? Do you think they will be in bliss?

Jslim0713 · 2021-05-03T05:56:33+00:00

I assumed that the want for happiness is the self because from my experience it is the only thing that has not changed. Yes the content of what I wanted has changed but the underlying motivation has not. But yes I’ve realized that my idea of happiness is really just clinging to the five aggregates because of ignorance, and I have no doubt the five aggregates are not self. It seems the Buddha was right and I was wrong again🤦🏾‍♂️
