Are you joking or serious ? What do you have against me that you feel the constant need to try to belittle me in every thread ?
Please do not waste your energy and time, because you care more about me than I care about you 😛
really....find a hobby or something, ur anger and frustration is annoying.

You know I think Buddhism is just like any other religion.However, i think the "to you" part distingished that I'm talking to Urizen.
I just wanted to clarify, not for me... It is fair to say that the way a person constantly acts is a reflection of what they think. Thoughts lead to actions. What they think is a reflection of what they have learned, and to make a statement of change requires some manifestation of what is learned, thought and action.
Goddess Kali please continue your studies.

Lol you DO care....otherwise you wouldn't address me so. Notice that I never initiate conversation with you. Ever.
Yet you attack me every change you get. 😆

Yes, it takes years of study to have any benefit from Buddhism. There are no born again Buddhists. You must study everyday for all of your life to keep from falling into the evil paths.
I've benefitted from Buddhism in a matter of weeks. Am I a brand new person? No..I am still learning and growing and experiencing.
However, You even earlier claimed that Nam Myo Renge Kyo opens the path to wisdom immediately.
Kinda contradicting urself there buddy.... 😉
And I admire your constant influence on my person, but please do not aim to give me lectures ok ? I don't need that.

Nam Myo Renge Kyo is just the beginning. All I am trying to say is strive to continue.
Don't get defencive, but Alliance has a valid point. Learn from it.

I do not wish to learn all the secrets of the universe, nor to rise above other people.
Buddhism is my philosophy, not my religion. I don't want a religion. Buddhism has given me a better outlook on life, and on people in general, but I am not going to attempt to find all that I need to find simply through Buddhist practice.
Buddhist Practice will help me learn to control myself and tame my emotions, but that's about all I desire. Anything else I learn from Buddhism will be a plus for me.
I still want to experience this world, and I read on Buddhism all the time. I find much of it interesting, truthful, and beautiful.
But every person is different. We each have to find our own way.

Alliance's "point" is that I am a ****ing sick, degrading, low-life retart...what is thier to possibly learn from such a childish judgement ? 😬
Please...his words fall on deaf ears. He cares about what I say too much, and doesn't realize that his words mean absolutely nothing to me. I am just grow tired of him following me on every single thread with his 2 cents.

That is not the point that I was talking about. If I were to be as crude to women on this forum as you have been to men on this forum, I would have been banned. Please keep your sexuality to yourself is my blunt point.

Who have I been crude to ?
Secondly, if my tendency to make jokes constantly referencing homosexuality annoys you, than just say so directly.
But please do not attempt to lecture me, as if anything I say on KMC, joking or serious, has any effect on my real life, or represents my person in any factual way.
You have a strict self discipline. I do not. Get over it.

I have told you...
Thoughts lead to actions. Therefore, you are wrong when you say that what you do here does not effect you in your real life.
Discipline is the key to Buddhism. If you do not have discipline, how can you have a Buddhist practice?

If I say that I want to have sex with Jesus, then that means that I will eventually have sex with Jesus.... 😬
No, i know what you mean. But you misunderstand me. I have a variety of thoughts, and you know this. My actions are only a consequence of the thoughts I decide to enact upon.
I've had sex with different men before, yes..so what ? why do you care ? How is that "wrong" ? If that's what you are even implying.
Secondly, what thoughts do you speak of ?
What thoughts do I display that you feel are leading me towards a negative path ?

I said I do not have a strict self discipline like you do. Just because I do not act like you, doesn't make me a bad or misguided person.
There is far more to Buddhism then self control.
I do not have to be in total control of my thoughts, feelings, and actions to love other people, or to help others achieve some sort of happiness.
And on that note, how do you know I am not in control ? How do you know I do not choose to behave this way for my own reasons ?

But you are being offensive with no positive or productive outcome in mind.

Karma is created by thought. If you think something, that Karma will manifest itself in your life.

I don’t care who you have sex with.

The lack of understanding that every thought belongs to you: What you fill your mind with is up to you, but please just realize that what you think is what you are.

I don’t think you are a misguided person. I just think you are missing an opportunity to learn.

Can you give me a Sutra where self control is not a primary aspect of the teaching?

I am only trying to be your friend.
