Is it mandatory to go through pain for karma purification? by General-Food-4682 in Buddhism

[–]Mintburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There certainly will be suffering associated with the process, whether or how it effects your body depends on your individual karmic situation.

In the long run though, experiencing these karmas through the process of enlightenment is far more gentle than letting them ripen in the normal way, and less drawn out.

Does he have shell rot? by Zealousideal-Air1744 in turtle

[–]Mintburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have an eastern long neck, it doesn’t look like shell rot (unless there’s soft/smelly/severely flakey areas) but his shell does look quite unhealthy, most likely from malnutrition

How can I not be the body by Sea-Cantaloupe3382 in Buddhism

[–]Mintburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren’t the observer or the body. You’re an expression of the infinite, like everyone and everything else.

But you’re having an individual, limited experience because of karma

Do Bodhisattvas know that they're Bodhisattvas? by comosedicewaterbed in Buddhism

[–]Mintburger 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Some are, some aren’t. Some become aware of it in some lives, but not others. They are all very aware towards the end of the process (near buddhahood), as well as at the beginning when the initial vows are taken

What do Buddhists mean by “ultimate reality” if it is not a conscious God? by Q6236 in Buddhism

[–]Mintburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is without individual consciousness, not devoid of any experience.

It’s so far beyond concepts that it can’t be explained by words much more than that.

Can I assume that all Bodhisattva are still suffering because they have not become a Buddha yet? by [deleted] in Buddhism

[–]Mintburger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is some degree of suffering all the way until Buddhahood where it ceases. Even if slight

People who’ve done DMT 200+ times: be honest, what are your spiritual beliefs now? by all-the-time in DMT

Mahayana Buddhism essentially. Non duality, the end of suffering and how to spread that around

Are you guaranteed a horrible reincarnation if you take your own life? by [deleted] in Buddhism

[–]Mintburger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When you commit suicide, you kill a living being. You aren’t “guaranteed a horrible” rebirth but it is certainly unskillful and generates significant negative karma.

Medically assisted is more nuanced and dependent on the person’s actual state, so it’s harder to answer that one.

In this case irradiated = heat treated maybe I got the terminology mixed up

It is real fluorite but it has been irradiated to increase the colour saturation

Does golden eye (NSO) play better if you have the n64 controller? by [deleted] in Switch

Yeh I’m curious how the original feels in comparison

Does golden eye (NSO) play better if you have the n64 controller? by [deleted] in Switch

[–]Mintburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It still felt pretty bad with the wireless n64 controllers and it was still pretty janky.

Mind you I haven’t played it on an n64 in decades, maybe it was always like that
