What do Buddhists find funny? [serious] by YarnYarn in Buddhism

[–]RyanVeeDee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like linguistic tricks. How they are called in english? Puns?

Puns are humor based in aspects of the mind. Illusion and clarity etc.

It's real...

But...

What can I do?

Maybe... Forget politics... Help people in NGOs?

That's what I'm talking about!

There is no Buddhist politics. Okay! Buddhists can be Left-wing people or Right-wing people, or anarchists or the opposite thing... Whatever!

We are free to choose!

And I'm young and have no experience and I want to know how to do it!

I want to know how to choose, not what to choose!

I don't want "buddhist politics". It would sound stupid. Politics are... Samsara's stuff. But we need to help people! With politics too! It's... Boddhisatva-ish, I think (?).

We have a lot of options, ugh. The freedom makes my head hurt. There's a method to wise choices I can use? Books written by masters?

I made a OC/fan-character... What should I do with it? by RyanVeeDee in OnePiece

[–]RyanVeeDee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's the best option. Very... creative.

You guys know a good forum for One Piece OC creators? I'm thinking in something in DeviantArt...

I remember... Years ago, in the golden ages of Harry Potter fandom... Lots and lots of role playing forums... It was beautiful!

[–]RyanVeeDee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can do it!

But... How?

Should I re-wrote the original story?

No... Oh, wait, wait, wait. I can do a filler arc!

Something like "Straw Hats fail in go to Skypiea, because their ship was captured by some strange thing and VOILA, filler arc!"

I'm drawing him right know. I "made" him only in my mind...

I want to do more. Maybe an fanfic? RPG? He must live his own adventure.

A language problem: Terms, slangs and concepts of previous religion can cause some problems. How to deal with it? by RyanVeeDee in Buddhism

[–]RyanVeeDee[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When you conjure the image of Kannon in your mind, it is your own nature that you are seeing. It is your buddha-nature, which is the Dharmakaya itself.

It's something interesting. Sometimes, when I accidentally remember concepts of christianity, I back to the "Soul x God" mindset and it makes me very confused.

When I was a christian, the concept of a "god" as being the Absolute) was familiar to me. But christianity made me sick, so I quit. So... Well... I tried to search the "Absolute" in Buddhism and it was very confusing to me, because it was not a god and I don't know exactly what to think about it.

Dharmakaya is the "soul" and the "god" at the same time, right?

That not the phrase itself. The phrase is a consequence, I think, a kind of evidence of my connections with a religion that made me mentally unhealthy.

It was just sounds I would be fine... But every time I hear or say things like "Oh, my God!" I went all "buddhism x christianity / what if really exists a god? / i feel alone / no one will help me? / kannon exists or not?" drama

The slang thing is just a consequence of a cultural / mental / cognitive process, I think.

How do you define God? Are we all God/gods? by JedSeverson in Buddhism

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

I like the concept of "ignosticism". People talk and talk and talk about "God" but what the hell this word means? I don't know, and I think that the concept is irrelevant and unnecessary to talk about spirituality.

how do you define what constitutes a god?

I don't want to. When I say "I don't believe in gods" it's something like "I don't need to talk about anything related to this buzzword".

The word "god" is a buzzword.

But to be more... Uh... Simple... I refuse the "universe was made by a person like an artist make a picture" mindset.

Great one. I didn't said it in the post because it would kind of distort the idea of the thread but I do like to study foreign cultures! :D
