It was said that Buddha was a beautiful person. But what defines beauty. What is beauty? Of course, we all know what inner beauty is, someone who is compassionate, loving, kind, generous have this glow about them. The smile on their face brings you at ease, and their selflessness makes you humble and thankful. That's inner beauty. But what makes a person beautiful physically? Why are some people born ugly, why are some people born beautiful but have a crappy personality? Why are some people born ugly but have a beautiful personality? Is this an illusion we created in our mind? I'm sure everyone is attracted to a person who is beautiful on the outside without knowing them. Like seeing a beautiful woman across the street, you're attracted to her but you don't know her personality. What makes a person beautiful physically? Men: Eyes, cut and lean body, strong jaw Women: Eyes, jaw, long hair and body What does a strong jaw signify? Why are women attracted to men with strong jaws? Is symmetry what makes a person beautiful? What about skin color? A lot of people prefer light skinned people. Is this karma? A person born beautiful? A person born ugly? Wouldn't monks be the sexiest looking people ever? If being unselfish, kind, loving makes a person beautiful the next life time, wouldn't monks be super beautiful? Wouldn't the dalai llama be really handsome?

what is this high pitch frequency? I hear it randomly, sometimes in one ear, sometimes both, doesn't happen everyday but it happens infrequently and randomly and last for a few seconds 3-8 seconds it sounds like those dog whistles i guess, but more sharper and clearer i can feel my ear "pop" not really pop but i feel a slight change in my ear, i dont know how to describe it

if you don't allow the edit button, a lot of information won't be posted on taobums, posters will think twice, or even three times, before posting anything thus the growth will stagnate, but if you allow the edit button, posters will have some freedom in what they say, and what information they present, and whoever sees the posts, it's their karma for seeing the posts before the OP decides deletes it taobums is suppose to encourage active discussion and sharing of information, however if one feels they don't want their posts on taobums anymore, they should have the freedom to delete it, if not, it'll create negativity, negative energy and emotions because they can't delete the posts anymore, causing paranoia and anxiety, and worry and so on harmony is important

I know we are made up of energy and atoms and 99.999% of atoms are empty. But the incredible thing is that, this physical world feels real. Why do we exist? Why is it that we can communicate with each other. I know that this world is an "illusion" and just temporary, but it's just mind boggling that people can reincarnate and their past lives mirror their current life, the people they were friends or family with are with them in this current life. The karma is transferred to this life. It's just amazing...And also space, what is this so called space/ universe. If we take a matter the size of a piece of pebble from space, that weighs more than the size of earth which is just mind blowing. And the universe goes on and on and on forever? And it just so happens we have gods, Bodhisattva, deities, who created existence? And nirvana, being free from suffering, don't have to reincarnate anymore, but then where does the soul go? How is it that hell and heaven exist? And if there is space, where is the space of consciousness?

Get rid of distractions, pleasure, cravings, ambition and addictions. Examples Alcohol and drugs Gambling Partying and recklessness Sexual misconduct and urge Meeting new people so you won't feel lonely Saving up and buying a new luxury car Adrenaline seeking Working super hard for that promotion Planning your birthday party, attention seeking These are just some examples of the mundane stuff that so many Westernized people seek. They seek eternal pleasure, they rather take care of their $50,000 BMW make sure it's nice and clean then to take care of their own body and health. They rather meet people and make new friends then to spend time in solitude and find out who they really are. They know more about other people then they know about themselves! These stuff will never bring eternal bliss and happiness and only cause suffering and lost in illusion. Of course, people should experience these mundane things in order to understand the emotions, energy, and hindrance that comes with it thus able to continue on their path.

And the thought of there is a billion galaxies out there just blows my mind some more.

I think as long as there is no hatred feeling but more of a concerned compassionate feeling, instead of "complaining", one could nicely critique, when one feels hatred/ complain, it generates negative energy

i wish i could draw like that

Animals and insects able to reincarnate as humans the next life. Incredible.

Mind blowing

Sometimes I feel like everyone else is just illusions and I'm the only person that is actually real..I don't know how to explain it.

Just a thought, In taoism, it's about balance however isn't there unbalance in a balance and isn't there balance in unbalance? So confusing haha

I had this realization too through solitude. Good read! We live in a selfish society however there are good people out there, it's just seems like everyone is selfish and bad because of how media portrays society and brainwashes everyone.

Life is too short!

Solitude is the place of purification. Martin Buber The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude. Aldous Huxley One can be instructed in society, one is inspired only in solitude. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Great men are like eagles, and build their nest on some lofty solitude. Arthur Schopenhauer Cultivate solitude and quiet and a few sincere friends, rather than mob merriment, noise and thousands of nodding acquaintances. William Powell Solitude is independence. Hermann Hesse He who lives in solitude may make his own laws. Publilius Syrus To go out with the setting sun on an empty beach is to truly embrace your solitude. Jeanne Moreau Solitude is un-American. Erica Jong Solitude, though it may be silent as light, is like light, the mightiest of agencies; for solitude is essential to man. All men come into this world alone and leave it alone. Thomas de Quincey Solitude has its own very strange beauty to it. Liv Tyler

Is it true that this particular month there will be more accidents? Someone told me not to go out at night until the ghost month is over.
