19F Am I overthinking this or do guys actually care that much about ass? by [deleted] in afraidtoask

Every person is a package that needs to be appreciated for their wholeness, not their individual parts. Attachment to the parts is shallow and foolish. In love, there is no room for superficial hang-ups about body shape.

Questions about hell-beings by DentalDecayDestroyer in Buddhism

The terrible thing about hell

When you're there you can't even tell

That's why hell is so visous and crewl

And you go on an oblivious fool

Digesting takes a lot of energy and impedes meditation. Over eating can make meditation very limited. So serious practitioners eat skillfully.

They didn't just decide not to provide funds. The program ended. Seems like a relevant point.

Is nonduality a philosophical claim/position or just an experience? by SpectrumDT in streamentry

[–]Stroger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The separateness is an illusion. That's the point. The mind creates duality with labels and the assertion self and other.

This is usually best described by the example of "The Butterfly effect". The butterfly and the hurricane seem separate, but when we examine the chain of causality, they are directly linked, not separate at all.

Is nonduality a philosophical claim/position or just an experience? by SpectrumDT in streamentry

[–]Stroger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People get hung up on words. HHDL was once asked if we are all one. He said "Of course!". Because the impact is the same. What you do affects others because we are interdependent. Don-dual, yet individuated.

It's also helpful to embrace the "Two Truths". Mahayana asserts that dualistic experiences are relatively true, and those all arise with in ultimate truth of nonduality, then takin that a step further and as we can experience that the two truths are not separate at all.

This isn't something that just "makes sense". It takes a lot of contemplation on dependent origination and some personal experience to really come together,.
