Standing Birdy Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 60% through. It's an excellent summary of what we know about the world and universe and how the unknowns will probably be known when the theory of everything is complete. Also reading this slowly. I feel it is more chim than Tao Te Ching, which I have read thrice and each time learned more to apply. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standing Birdy Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Reading this book and saw something apt. WHY GOOD PEOPLE DIE The village preacher at the home of an elderly parishioner was busy answering grandma’s questions over a cup of coffee. “Why does the Lord send us epidemics every so often?” asked the old lady. “Well,” said the preacher, “sometimes people become so wicked they have to be removed and so the good Lord allows the coming of epidemics. “But then,” objected grandma, “why do so many good people get removed with the bad?” “The good ones are summoned for witnesses,” explained the preacher. “The Lord wants to give every soul a fair trial.” There is nothing that the Rigid Believer cannot find an explanation for. THE SMARTING DERVISH A dervish was sitting peacefully by a river when a passer-by saw the bore bock of his neck and yielded to the temptation to give it a resounding whack. He was full of wonder at the sound his hand had made on the fleshy neck, but the dervish, smarting with pain, got up to hit him back. “Wait a minute,” said the aggressor. “You can hit me if you wish. But answer this question first: Was the sound of the whack produced by my hand or by the back of your neck?” Said the dervish, “Answer that yourself. My pain won’t allow me to theorize. You can afford to do so, because you don’t feel what I feel.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chamfer Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 https://www.amazon.com/Buddhist-Magic-Divination-Healing-Enchantment/dp/1611808251/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=buddhist+magic&qid=1628697701&s=books&sprefix=buddhist+m&sr=1-1 Just finished this ebook. Book and ebook is available at NLB. Quite a 'dry' book to read if one has not much knowledge on buddhism. But i'm quite surprized that magic is part of buddhism. And those magic practices of thailand,burma,etc are not folk religions incorportated into buddhism. There is a chapter on tibetan book of spells. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
