candide Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 "The committee split the group of individuals who took and set the exams into three groups - those who cheated completely, those who cheated a little and those who answered honestly." How did they find out? Oh, I see 1- those who answered most questions 2-those who barely passed 3-those who failed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Bob Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 8 hours ago, SaintLouisBlues said: That and the belief in karma - you reap in this life what you have sown in past lives. That's why the peasants cannot be entrusted with voting because they're peasants, therefore they must not have been sufficiently virtuous in their past lives. That's the concept that lies behind the Yellow Shirt/junta narrative of leaving government to "virtuous" people. That is NOT how karma works in real Buddhism. Off course those yellow shirt hi-so's don't know sh#t about that. They think they are entitled to exploiting the poor; and donating money and burning candles in the wat (tham boon) will get them an even better next life. Talk about ignorance ....

Ah, "real" Buddhism. Is this akin to the demarcation disputes between various christian sects, each claiming to have the purest expression of the faith, or the Shitites* and the Sunnis in Islam who blow each other up so certain are they of the impurity of the other's faith? * yes, I do know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant to say is that in Thailand, and in most other countries where it is practiced, Buddhism is mixed with Hinduism, animism and even politics, the outcome being something completely non-buddhist. For instance, in Buddhism there is no soul traveling from the dead body to another body after death (reincarnation), that is a Hindu concept. Buddhism says everything is dukkha, anicca, anatta: suffering, impermanence, non-self. Way off-topic, I know, I just take an interest in this stuff...

Or, more generally, all religions borrow from one another. Monotheism is a Jewish heresy of polytheism, Christianity is a heresy of Judaism, Islam is a heresy of Christianity (Arianism, to be specific) and so on. Then, when they co-mingle, they borrow. And since we're now coming to understand the chemical reactions in the brain that lead to religious experiences, the similarities between religions that appear never to have had much contact and therefore cross-fertilization are more understandable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's evident that many State-sponsored ideologies have many of the hallmarks of what we usually call "religion" I totally agree on that one! From the Kalama Sutta, the Buddha is said to have said: "So, as I said, Kalamas: 'Don't go by reports, by legends, by traditions, by scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by analogies, by agreement through pondering views, by probability, or by the thought, "This contemplative is our teacher." When you know for yourselves that, "These qualities are unskillful; these qualities are blameworthy; these qualities are criticized by the wise; these qualities, when adopted & carried out, lead to harm & to suffering" — then you should abandon them.' Thus was it said. And in reference to this was it said. "Now, Kalamas, don't go by reports, by legends, by traditions, by scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by analogies, by agreement through pondering views, by probability, or by the thought, 'This contemplative is our teacher.' When you know for yourselves that, 'These qualities are skillful; these qualities are blameless; these qualities are praised by the wise; these qualities, when adopted & carried out, lead to welfare & to happiness' — then you should enter & remain in them. In other words: find out for yourselves what is good, healthy and leading to happiness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daiwill60 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 What a bleeding joke, most of the ones now making this decision also went through the same process of paying for their positions in the first place. Why won't they show the figures? But at least it is now being addressed, but is this just more lip service , like the transport minister is spouting in cutting road deaths by introducing more checks on minivan drivers and checking a newly introduced tachograph type of system or removing multitudes of vans off the roads??

walterego Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 The third group who exhibited no evidence of cheating, all fail as despite the fact they cheated with utmost expertise and were never caught, the fact they did not share the answers with their fellow piglets highlights their inability to function as part of the team. Hopefully next time they will learn from this experience and share their answers like a good team player should! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
