  1. Advaita and Buddhism are the Same After All

    How are you helping others by preaching your dogma? Furthermore, you posit some mythical truth of an overarching Buddha ruler of this realm. Exactly, where is this invisible Buddha located? I suppose you want your dogma taught as absolute truth in public schools! ralis
  2. You can't do anything!

    Buddhism is not objective and is only another point of view. So called objectivity is only an approximation of the universe. Absolute objectivity does not exist. ralis
  3. Career choice...

    Excellent advice! I spent seven years in college and loved every minute of it. Including 50 hrs. of math. LOL! I always encourage my employees to further their education and better themselves in some way. Are you interested in 5 element acupuncture? There are several good schools in the U.S. that teach 5 element. Probably the best system. ralis
  4. You can't do anything!

    A nihilistic rant at best, while positing untenable arguments. Your attempts at logic are a joke! ralis
  5. Advaita and Buddhism are the Same After All

    I guess you are a realized being? ralis
  6. zhan zhuang

    Never heard of these effects. Zhan Zhuang is very safe. ralis
  7. Is Gardening Evil?

    If one wants to talk about evil in relation to the natural world, the corporate thugs that are running this planet into the ground must be included in any discussion. The ongoing oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. BP and other oil companies have claimed how technologically advanced and safe drilling is today. The "drill baby drill" wingnuts have not said a word. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/30/gulf-oil-spill-may-eclips_n_558306.html http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x8241206 photos of spill In terms of gardening, the use of petrochemicals to grow food or ornamental crops is causing much destruction to soil ecosystems i.e, microbial and fresh water supplies. The only amendments I use in my landscape business are fish supplements "Protein Crumblies", compost, mulch and calcium. I virtually have no weed or insect problems. ralis

    Actually it is an alignment of 2 spiral galaxies. ralis

    These photos really show the Tao at work. ralis
  10. Hubble Telescope Photos

    The Eagle Nebulae. Another stellar nursery.
  11. Hubble Telescope Photos

    A gaseous nebulae where stars are born. I like to think of it as a star nursery. ralis
  12. Is Gardening Evil?

    Exactly what is virtuous gardening? I am a Horticulturist and that is news to me. ralis
  13. Is Gardening Evil?

    If that were true, just maintaining oneself would be a disruption of the Tao? Is taking a bath a disruption of the Tao? ralis
  14. Is Gardening Evil?

    Out here in New Mexico, weeds have value because they are green. ralis
  15. 30 gal. of morning dew. Not urine. :lol: ralis
  16. I bought the ebook for 11.00. He claims that some have regenerated tissue with the GW method (urine). When I asked about the unusually large amount (30gal.) for the morning due process, he never answered my email. He also claims to be able to create gold by the morning dew method. http://www.ramsdigital.com/ This site has everything he teaches. ralis
  17. Robert Thurman on The Dalai Lama

    Thurman is biased and has lost objectivity. I am not interested in having the Dalai Lama or any religious leader as a spokesman for the world. ralis
  18. Communism was an absolute atrocity and failed miserably! Capitalism in the U.S. is failing miserably! ralis
  19. There is no self

    There are some Tibetan Buddhist iconography that depicts deities standing (crushing) on Ganesh and also other Hindu symbols. ralis
  20. Natural events

    This is the first footage I have seen of the volcanic eruption in Iceland. ralis http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x456316
