To all or none,

Everybody has seen a movie with Jackie Chan in it.
Funny ,unbeleivable moves almost childish ,or the new chinese movies with people flying on rooftops.

This morning I compare Buddhism to something simular to that.
Imagine,Buddha dies ,he goes to heaven to teach the gods and devas,
then comes back on earth to teach the dharma to the humans and some lineages will include sentient being and rocks.
When his  mother is engrossed by a7 horned white elephant,He comes to the world while her mother is standing up .He is born at an age and size of a child about 7 years old and takes 7 steps.That is just his birth.Move over Jackie Chan ,you have been outdone.

Abother point,when one Takes Refuge in Buddha is very simular to a christian taking refuge in God.Buddha died as a man 2400 years ago or about.
Mahayana and Vajrayana almost make a God like figure of him.Buddha was a man,just like Jesus of Nazareth ,that found through meditation the path to Enlightenment/Nibbana.I will stick to that ,and not fall in fables
cartoons and chinese comedy.

Some of you may find this harsh ,that is my view on buddhism in general.

loong
part of the Oneness
