Well in that case nausea I hope your search proves fruitful and it turns out not to be all crap, and you achieve enlightenment / nirvana or whatever final outcome you seek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nausea Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I have this strange feeling we all reach the outcome we seek. Be careful what you wish for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotBkk Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Many instances of monks up to all sorts of things they shouldn't be doing and no doubt many of those who criticize are less than perfect example of Buddhism themselves. Plenty of hypocrisy to go round. I agreeTAT. Are a perfect example!!!!' Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather like these two quotations from that venerable gentleman, the Dalai Lama. 1. “People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.” 2. “The whole purpose of religion is to facilitate love and compassion, patience, tolerance, humility, and forgiveness.” Live and let. And if that includes eating birthday cake, then let them carry on and enjoy. Life is too short to be making a fuss about such trifling matters.

File:Fact x importance equals ne.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Johniey makes a valid point here. The article says that 'The story had been shared more than 8,000 times by yesterday'. Again, it says 'shared', It does not say 8,000 people complained. But what bugs me more is that any news media should find such a trivial matter newsworthy, And even more. What is such trivial stuff doing on this forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dictater Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Lets all remember that Buddhism as a religion is as comic as Christianity or Islam. Very few actually care about the supposed tenants, they want the comfort. Monks are just humans who eat <deleted> and kill like all other humans. Why so upset about a birthday cake? I live next to a temple and have seen monks there involved in every kind of forbidden behavior and this includes eating McDonalds at 4 in the afternoon, drinking alcohol, having sex (yes behind my house). We all see them in the tech shops and malls, what the hell are they doing there, what about the fact that someone took a photo of this b-day cake and uploaded it on their phone, why does he have a phone? It's all farce that sucks resources from the community in the name of a man who rejected organized religion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must have been some cake, a cake that eats monks; rather gory, I should say. Fortunately, though, it was not some monk-eating cake, but some cake-eating monks.

gdgbb Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 You lot, and the other 8,000 odd netizens, must have access to different photos than I have, there are no monks eating cake in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
