  2. Desire is the spice of life!

    Humanity has built great civilizations, through strength, effort, work, conquest and the pursuit of its objectives and desires, no one denies that. Desire, as you can see, is the great driver of changes. Buddhism, however, seeks a way out of suffering and points out that the basic cause of human suffering is desire in the changing and unstable conditions of samsara, obviously if everyone embarks on the monastic path indicated in Theravada Buddhism, the humanity would become extinct.
  3. New to Daobums

  4. Verses no. 15 to no. 16 of the chapter called "twin verses" of the Dhammapada inform the reader of the existence of painful and more or less happy destinies, depending on the future of their actions (Karma). Duggati-Suggati: "State of miserable existence", "State of happy existence" 1. Niraya: Place of punishment, a kind of hell similar to the Catholic one 2. Tiracchanayoni: The animal kingdom. 3. Pettivisaya: The kingdom of the deceased, souls or manes. 4. Manussa: The Human Kingdom 5. Deva: The realm of the gods. The rebirth in one of the five indicated spheres is determined by the bad or good deeds that the man has done in his previous life. They constitute, therefore, part of the system of retribution of acts. The Lalitavistara SÅ«tra is a Buddhist sutra of the Mahayana tradition in which the story of Gautama Buddha is told from the time of his descent from the Tushita realm of high Bodhisattvas and gods, that is, from his incarnation as Siddhartha Gautama to his first sermon in the Deer's Park in Benares. In Mahayana Buddhism, the kingdoms or pure lands where Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and those devotees who have performed good deeds and have aspired to be born in such superior kingdoms live.
  5. Read psalm 51 in front of a possessed, that never fails!
  6. Die Religion ... Sie ist das Opium des Volkes Karl Marx 1844
  7. I want to become powerful

  8. If you use bad faith, mockery and contempt of the other more than the rational and constructive analysis of Buddhist sources, I have nothing more to tell you, nor could I respond to you on this destructive level.
  9. The Buddha devoid of vanity and egotism, without departing from the prudence and humility of the noble eightfold path in chapter 21, epigraph 296 of the Dhammapada points out: "Gautama's followers are awake and forever watch; and always, day and night, they remember the qualities of the Buddha"
  10. You would have to try Tai Chi Qigong, before being so categorical with your conclusions. For example, Master Lin Hou Sheng's Shibashi this is his site https://www.linhousheng.com/
  11. According to my thinking, the only way to reconcile these views, regarding the post-mortem existence, is by believing in reincarnation and believing in the afterlife in the realm of the ancestors, is through the existence of various types of bodies that are separated when dying and have some persistence in certain places. Most ancient Egyptian funerary texts refer to numerous parts of the soul: 1.- Khet or the "physical body" constituted by the elements of Mendeleev's periodic table 2.- Ka or the "double" the shadow or astral body of the human being, could be considered as the energetic body in the pranic or chi body sense. The Egyptians also believed that ka was sustained through food and drink. For this reason, offerings of food and drink were presented to the dead, although what was consumed was the ka within the offerings, not the physical aspect. To date, many cultures present food offerings to the deceased. 3.- Ba (Personality) was everything that makes an individual unique, similar to the notion of 'personality', in occult terms it becomes the body of desires. 4.- Swut or the shadow or silhouette of a person, is always present. Because of this, the Egyptians assumed that a shadow contains something of the person it represents. Through this association, statues of people and deities were sometimes referred to as shadows. A kind of ghost of the deceased because in ancient texts it is described as a kind of entity that emerges from the tombs. 5.- Sekhem the divine part in man that subsists in the hereafter after individual judgment (a place within which Horus and Osiris dwell in the underworld) 6.- Ren (name) It is the identity of a person, his experiences and memories of his whole life, the name is what evokes the being and is a key in the occult. 7.- Akh (intellect) in occult terms is the superior mind in the human being, it was associated with thought, but not as an action of the mind; rather, it was the intellect as a living entity per se. 8.- Ib (Heart) It was thought that an important part of the Egyptian soul was the Ib in the Egyptian religion, the heart was the key to the afterlife. It was essential to survive death in the underworld, where it bore witness for or against its possessor. A kind of conscience that judges beyond the mortal desires of man, symbolized by the heart, was considered the seat of thoughts and emotions according to Egyptian beliefs. It was one of the most important spiritual elements. This is evidenced by many everyday expressions in the Egyptian language that incorporate the word ib, such as aut-ib "joy" (wide-hearted). 9.- Sahu (spiritual body) The sahu, Atmu (note the similarity with the word atma and atman of the ancient Hindus) or spiritual body, which obtained a degree of knowledge, power and glory, becoming durable and incorruptible, being able to associate to the soul and converse with it. It is the Ultimate Mystery, the spiritual cause of man himself. Thus, he will be able to ascend to Heaven and dwell with the sahu of the righteous and gods. Thus ancestor worship is homage and offerings to ancestors who live in a realm or plane of existence and who are present to aid their living successors.
  12. Regarding death and eventual post-mortem existence, no one knows anything for sure.
  13. Sleeping qigong and lucid dreaming

    I have always sought to return to that dreamless sleep, that deep sleep of babies or even small ones in gestation, it is pure energy of the kidney meridian and possibly the source of health and rejuvenation. Unfortunately, that type of restful sleep is lost as we age, if the Taoist or Yogi Adept regains his prenatal energy, he can extend his life beyond our genetic limitations.
  14. Does the Lost Word exist? Someone believes that there is a word or phrase that is the first, the forgotten but the most powerful, the most secret, the one that contains the essence and power of the Creator or even is the lost name of God, sought by freemasons, sufis, rosicrucians, occultists, cabalists, hermetists, yogis and mystics of all time. I give the word to you.
