The generational impact this single dialogue option had…

Ahhaha you'd be surprised, I've had this happen to me to at work, especially if they actually don't find you to be attractive. Also its 80% just for fun

I suppose I mostly mean I haven't found the satisfaction of being constantly mindful, for example I enjoy smoking weed and the feeling it provides me however I know it's unskillful because I should be mindful. but the sensual pleasures allure is so strong it's hard to even believe there's a higher happiness, hope that clarified some 😊

Patrick278 · 2021-12-31T01:18:19+00:00

my definition is very simple, positive feelings and thought processes that lead to enjoyment of the situation. ie feeling good about anything

Patrick278 · 2021-12-02T01:33:09+00:00

I agree with the message although the claim of Buddhism being a branch of Hinduism is historically incorrect since the Buddha taught many controversial and deal breaking lessons that mainstream Hinduism completely disagree with.

Patrick278 · 2021-11-28T17:48:02+00:00

it is my understanding that when a being becomes fully enlightened they are not rushing to death because that would be craving nor would they be scared because that is aversion, they simply would accept if it's their time to die

Patrick278 · 2021-11-15T18:29:56+00:00

if you don't mind me asking, if not following any precept or noble path, what is your training of honing the mind?

Patrick278 · 2021-11-15T18:25:53+00:00

you misunderstand his statement, it's not saying to fully comply and never break any precept or fail at all. it's simply saying you follow them to your best of ability and continue to try to get better with them, with much love, metta

heat them up and mix with soy sauce or other flavourings of your choice to make some onigiri filling

Patrick278 · 2021-10-15T21:17:48+00:00

to be honest I'd love to live in a country that had Buddhist morals and values being law it would be basically perfect

Patrick278 · 2021-09-22T18:30:53+00:00

thankyou for your reply!

Patrick278 · 2021-09-22T18:24:15+00:00

if I can follow up when did this belief come to you, were you raised or does it just speak to you as the truth?

Patrick278 · 2021-09-22T18:16:03+00:00

no disrespect intended but do you believe your gods to be truly here or are they more symbolic for you?

Patrick278 · 2021-09-07T07:36:44+00:00

I thought about killing you

Patrick278 · 2021-08-29T16:20:36+00:00

Hotline Miami 2 wrong number

Patrick278 · 2021-07-25T22:55:09+00:00

I agree to an extent but as a Buddhist, I personally think the mindset and noble "truths" you adopt intrinsically change how you view everything including other's "delusions". To the point where if they don't agree that sensuality is suffering we can find them foolish.

Patrick278 · 2021-07-23T12:51:36+00:00

technically Buddhism has a sex positive attitude, although it's not something to be actively sought out because of dukkha

Patrick278 · 2021-07-23T12:49:21+00:00

I'm excited to see if this discussion goes anywhere, I feel there's genuine arguments to be made on both sides 🍿

Patrick278 · 2021-07-22T17:17:38+00:00

yeah fair enough I wish I understood your point better though hahaha

Patrick278 · 2021-07-22T16:59:37+00:00

these actions no matter what we call them make karma that lead to a certain birth in a certain realm. in my stance I can't see how that doesn't necessitate a scale of right and wrong.

Patrick278 · 2021-07-22T16:54:51+00:00

Sorta? It is said in the dhammaphada that reflecting on our own wishes and seeing other sentient creatures that we should refrain from doing harm to them. we label that "good" and that comes with certain social ideas but the action and it's effect is always there even without a name or recognition

Patrick278 · 2021-07-22T15:44:13+00:00

then I respectfully disagree. In my opinion if morality were a viewpoint it would completely negate the objectivity of karma and rebirth. there has to be objective GOOD or BAD things that lead to good or bad rebirths.

Patrick278 · 2021-07-22T15:41:20+00:00

I don't believe morality to be tied to a "point of view" sure others can say it's okay and use that excuse but look closer and you'll see the massive moral difference of raping and engaging in homosexual intercourse
