Buddha is or was the 9th avatar of Vishnu

Going through Hinduism last nite discovered that the 25 buddha 's before
Siddhârta,were the 9th avatar of God Vishnu ,beleived in a God and a soul.

When siddhartha  decided  that there  was no God  nor  a soul ,nor an I he was banned by Vishnu and all the other Gods and divas.

So Buddhism in reality is just another lineage of Hinduism .Just to say ,that I would  have died for that man.

No more ,blind faith ,for this guy .Working on reconstructing my spiritual path.
Keep you posted .Oh yeah ,I am going to try to make a kind of tree of all the gods and subgods and all .I am sure I will have fun.

Blind Faith

To all or none,

Blind  Faith,


Oh so many creations,so many lies,so many sufferings so much ascetism ,caused by blind faith.Beleive something ,in your guts because someone said so.

Just had a discussion with a young sufi woman ,who beleives things ,that a 10 year old would find crazy. I,yes I ,beleived things that in my store consciousness or my Mind,that i doubted,being words coming from someone on dope or something,

Blind Faith has always existed and will always do.

loong

still searching

To all or none,

What I have found in the last few days is:

Buddhism is just another religion,
Like all religions ,a lot of beliefs are based on blind faith .
I do not beleive in blind faith . 
What makes Buddha different from any  other messiah,
Beleifs ,must for me ,proven ,not I have heard!Or it is written !
Deceived yes I am.Deceived of myself,not of Buddha.

The Universe ,unseen yet there,taking care of everything,and everyone.
Lots of things are still unknown to me.Why children die young? why why why.

For now, I will be living ,a good life,with a strict conscience ,based on The Precepts,
the Noble Eightfold path ,and wait for death.

loong

?

To all or none,

Why the question mark? Simple ,since yesterday here is this gigantic question mark in my MIND,or maybe in my rationale.

This is my second crisis regarding Buddhism.Is it Mara ,playing tricks on me?Don't know.?What if?

The more I read on Buddhism the more my faith diminishes.So many contradictory stories,views ,lineages.Buddhism just in Mahayana alone has 120 lineages.

Catholicism 34.Christianity well I will not go there.Islam 3.

Buddha was from the brahman faith before,becoming BUDDHA.He ever said he had created  a new religion,men did that ,just like JESUS and Allah with Mahomet.

So ,when I came in the restaurant where I have my office(sic), ;) one of the girls that works here had 2 malas for me .She is Muslim and in her religion the malas have 100 beeds compare to 108 for Buddhism ,and said she had something else for me !
The Universe takes care of itLs own.Is this a sign ,I am not too much on signs.

So the calm sea is having killer waves right now.

keep you posted

DISCOVERY

To all or none,

Today while reading a book on Buddhism ,what else,I discovered ,a few things.
First: Depending on who wrote the book you get a version of the whole
Buddhism mish mash.
Today what I have read ,bedazzels me.Buddhism is not a phylosophy.The author did not mention however what it was!!!!
Buddha's dharma in a lot of places ,i am totally in disaccord.I will name a few:Alms,beauty is something not to like or love i.e.attachment and impermanence.Xcuse me but a beautiful woman,a beautiful flower a cherry tree in bloom is a no-no in Buddhism.Third how many of us will attain enlightenment in this lifetime of suffering? Not too many.Fourth ,trying hard to change is some form of suffering.etc etc etc.

loong

Alms.

To all or none,

The Buddha said:that giving alms is the purest form of generosity.and has it's best results when given with no interest or payback.

So sorry ,not at all in accord with his words.Why should poor people give food to a bunch of people ,the bhikkhus ,what do they have  so special that they do not work.

I suppose it would interfere with their  path to enlightenment?Bullshit.it is proven 
that Buddha depending what crowd in front of him were ,used different disccourses.

What % of monks do you think can truly understand the Dharma.A Sangha is like any
society,there are bright ones,some not so bright ones and truly dumb ones.

So taking a shovel ,a hammer ,there is no shame in that.I would not give alms to a Bhikkhu.By the way ,all sanghas have leities that do the chores,do you beleive that?
I am a buddhist,and I do all my chores,why should'nt they.?

loong

To all or none,

Going through a stiff time financially.As I was having my windshield repaired,free of cost,I found myself thinking.

When you practice MINDFULNESS on a regular basis,In my MIND automatically brought me back to the NOW,the moment of no suffering.

So if you have a wandering MIND,practice the mechanism of bringing yourself to think 
in the Now.It works wonders.

May your Nows be happy ones.
