That which was never born can never die, therefore deathless. Is this "awareness"?
If everyone successfully applies the Buddhas teaching, then how can this not be the outcome? Quote: A monk may for practice for decades in their quest for Awakening, and end up never reaching it, but he lived a lifestyle that he chose. To see the value in that I think it best to compare it with the lifestyle he would have lived if he'd stayed a layperson, this of course varies from person to person. There must be many lifestyles which will result in much pain, suffering & early demise. That's not to say that there aren't as many lifestyles, other than Buddhism, which might be very positive, satisfying and rewarding. Quote: Buddhist monastic renunciation is primarily about simplifying ones life so that you are not pulled in different directions and distracted from your practice. The need for monastic life, including renunciation, points to the need to commit a large portion of ones life to dedicated practice in order to successfully become Awakened. A life of denial and sacrifice in order to extinguish re birth (not reincarnation) of life, and to experience Equanimity. We have already agreed that “that which is born must die” & “impermanence”. If that which is Reborn is not us/me/you, then why would us/me/you practice a life filled with renunciation & denial to stop a Rebirth? Aren't there many lifestyles which can maximise balanced pleasure, love, enjoyment, & satisfaction in life whilst limiting pain and suffering without a life of renunciation and denial. -

SO who of you guys live in Thailand?
Visiting the US gives you only a fraction of what goes on there yearly. The food is as good as anywhere on earth, as there are many transplanted chefs from all over the world there, along with their recipes. The supermarkets are among the best worldwide, carrying more variety than most anywhere. We have Wholefoods and many other health oriented supermarkets there, along with hundreds of Asian markets run by Asians. I've been to many of them, as I've eaten healthy all of my life and seek out the same. Murderous police forces? Maybe certain unstable individuals , like the one here who murdered 23 toddlers and a few parents and teachers. That happens all over. People aren't special because of where they were born. All countries have good and bad, and it's up to the individual to act special to others, no matter where they came from. -
