i believe there may be non corporeal entities/ or some type of trans dimensional beings... i dont know if i would call them demons in a religious sense....
i gotta tell you bro u dont strike me as being very good buddhist assuming that you read and try to follow the buddha's teachings..
where is the loving thought the respectful action in your words.. converting by the transmission of love,
living in balance with the abstract forces of the universe.. you seem to lean and fall more on being a smart ass and being a troll with your comments...
dont get me wrong or take it the wrong way, i tend to enjoy it i just cant get over the fact that everything you say is followed by a picture cover of the Shakyamuni Son Lotus..pretty contradictory if you ask me :P

Looking at you.
Re: Re: Re: Do you believe in demons?
I don't see what you are saying. The thread starter asked a question, and I gave you a straight forward answer. How is that trolling and being a smart ass?
Also, what does "transmission of love" have to do with Buddhism?

it has to do with it a lot... just like the transmission knowledge wisdom, kindness... always being thoughtful in ones actions whether you are cooking cleaning or simply typing on a key board..
Hypothetical life that exists without material bodies. The idea has been extensively explored in science fiction (see Childhood's End) but, from the viewpoint of science itself, the concept of life based on "pure energy," such as electromagnetic radiation, poses significant difficulties. A being made only of photons, for example, could not move slower than the speed of light and would essentially exist outside of the normal time stream of the rest of the universe. Artificial life represents a possible alternative form of noncorporeal life with a basis in information.

Science fiction is great and all, and I like a good science fiction story as much as anyone else, but I don't base my beliefs on it. If demons live outside of our existence, then they could not interact with us. If they can interact with us, then they will leave physical evidence of this interaction. So far, there is no evidence for this interaction.
the "all" generalization keeps me from believing you .... sorry
i remember seeing a video about hunted train tracks where a bus full of children died.. ppl put a car in the middle of the tracks covered with baby powder. the car slowly moved up hill without having the engine on..
the car was examined and it had, hand prints all over the back of the wind shields bumper the size of children hands...
not saying it is real because i wasn't there but it makes me wonder..
