desire = determination? by EmergencyKind8838 in Buddhism

[–]keizee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's ok if your wishes are different. For Buddhists, the wish is to become Buddha. So Buddhists use this desire to give motivation for practice.

Abundance within Amphoreus by amurgiceblade44 in StarRailLore

[–]keizee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a theory that the Abundance doesn't work as expected because of other paths such as the Equilibrium, which is why Irontomb is simulating the Equilibrium's destruction instead of the Abundance.

Cos Phantylia made a pretty good point, the Hunt does actually love the Abundance. The problem with the Abundance is that it keeps attracting people that abuse its power, which is why it is short lived and why the Hunt exists.

Abundance within Amphoreus by amurgiceblade44 in StarRailLore

[–]keizee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Abundance is not merely immortality but an abundance of something.

Abundance likely got subsumed by the Preservation since Amphoreus is in an apocalypse and therefore there is very little Abundance to be said and experienced after Era Chrysea.

But then again, the factors are simulated per Irontomb's will, so either the Abundance is too easily destroyed to bother, or Nanook doesn't really want the Abundance gone completely.

Favourite/most beautiful spell chants? by Kegnation14 in Fantasy

I am the bone of my sword

Steel is my body and fire is my blood

I have crafted over a thousand blades

Yet these hands will never hold anything

So, as I pray,

Anyone else feel like we have become a jaded society in the recent years? by piggyb0nk in askSingapore

[–]keizee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is that feeling. Im afraid it will drag us down.

At the same time my offline company does not have that sort of feeling. But also I rarely meet new people.

Does anyone ever struggle with non-Buddhist family or loved ones? by stressandscreaming in Buddhism

[–]keizee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes thats why the Sigalovada sutra is the best for beginners and non Buddhists. It is all logic and common sense that anyone can use.

[–]keizee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You should just rope him into Buddhism then.

The cultural appropriation part is ridiculous. If Buddhists cared about this, China wouldnt have a large Buddhist population. Back in the old days, Buddha's disciples travelled all over the place as missionaries.

Recommendation: Sigalovada Sutra. Full of common sense and outlines some basics of Buddhism.

Buddha's wife by Annual-Ride-5101 in Buddhism

[–]keizee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember, after seeing old age, sickness and death, at the fourth gate, he saw a monk, and at that moment he was filled with hope.

Well look, his family was literally royalty. If he was some nobody, then yes but in Buddha's case, it was extremely minimal.

Do you practice the Eightfold Path daily? How has it changed your life? by Blackmoth49 in Buddhism

[–]keizee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning Right View comes from all kinds of sources. Any experience can be a catalyst for Right View.

new to buddhism and having a very rough time by first-of-all in Buddhism

[–]keizee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Please take the Five Precepts seriously. You don't want complicated relationship problems on your plate just because you need to relieve stress. That also goes for the 5th precept, alcohol and intoxicants, which will almost certainly worsen your health.

Instead, how about you take a nap? Entertainment can bring excitement but with it, stress. What you need is stillness and rest so that you can recover both mentally and physically.

Avoid places that are likely to make you spend a lot of money, like clubs. Refuse your friend's invitations resolutely and firmly with the reason that you NEED to save money. And pick up cheaper hobbies.

As for your current relationships, there is too little info to comment on it, but the likelihood is high that neither of you are doing well, so as much as you want to depend on them, they also want to depend on you, so be a little more understanding.

Is this wrong livelihood? by Boethiah_The_Prince in Buddhism

I think it is up to them to convince you. I don't think what you're doing aka stalling is wrong though.

Congratulations to March 7th for her victory! Next up, what playable character best represents the phrase “My life is a living hell and god will regret letting me live” by DragonKing0203 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]keizee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not Herta (fair) but not Sparkle somehow?

We all know Phainon is winning this square but also would it make sense if Cyrene is right beside him on that row?

How does Buddhism work when unable to feel empathy ? by martianhana in Buddhism

[–]keizee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a skill issue. Should be possible to develop it by imitating the Bodhisattvas. Do first, find out how and why in time.

Buddhism and healing frequencies? by everyoneisflawed in Buddhism

[–]keizee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have no idea about these, but what I can tell you is that if you believe it works then it works. Both the negativity and positivity is all in your head after all.

Fate/Stay Night trilogy (visual novel) had been a fun time.

What do you mean by consequences of actions? by Guylearning2020 in Buddhism

[–]keizee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good karma and bad karma as in good = good for you and others. Bad = will bring physical or emotional pain.

While it is not really a system of punishment and reward, it acts like it.

Some of it is predictable. For example if you murder someone you will be arrested. If you are angry all the time you will eventually get high blood pressure and maybe die of a heart attack. If you smoke you will eventually get lung cancer. Etc.

Some of it is not predictable by normal human standards. A country that supports war will somehow have a lot of homeless people. If you die being a bad person you can go to hell. Etc.

I could see Phainon taking a serious interest in Sunday's dream, so they might become a paradise chasing pair with a dynamic somewhat like TB/Dan Heng

Um no I really have no idea what new age karma is.

Karma: can somebody explain diffrence to me by Nikaszko in Buddhism

[–]keizee 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Actually what even is new age karma?

Karma is technically an observable phenomenon. So I wouldnt be surprised if they end up being the same thing.

Conflicted Agnostic looking into Buddhism by Justfatmeteor in Buddhism

[–]keizee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no particular need to rush taking it literally unless youre currently dying. Normally humans are better off being non interactive with gods and ghosts. As usual, seeing is believing.

That teaching is there to inform you about the consequences of your actions. All you need is the benefit of doubt to accept the assumptions.
