  1. To be or not to be

    Maddie posted a topic in General Discussion

    Maybe about a year ago I was reading a sutta about dependent origination and I came across the part that said "becoming". Now in the context of the sutta was basically saying this is the point that you enter a new womb to acquire a new body for a new life, but I guess the word had a profound impact on me out of context. Being very general there seem to be two kinds of practices. The first time is to "become" more. To gain super powers, to gain qi, to gain something. The second is to "become" less by letting go of more and more. This was the method the Buddha taught, this is the method of "neti neti". This is the method that I generally practice. What path do you follow, and why?
