THE  INTRODUCTION 

BUDDHISM  IS AS A  RELIGION 

Buddhism  is an  Eastern form   of  spirituality . That doctrine  , in its  basic premise  , is like many   other doctrines throughout  the world , the  doctrine which one might call "mystical." Quintessence  of the philosophy of  life,  this is Thomas a Kempis has presented a bright and intense way in  works mirror Christ  his. What is known as "Buddhism" is part of the common heritage of  human wisdom , thanks to which  human beings succeed.   in this  transcendent  world and to  immortality  , or a life not  overcome  by death.

During the  last two centuries, the focal  concern  spirit  has been pushed to a secondary level by the  anxiety  arising  from the  issue  of economic and  social . The term "spirituality" today seems  ambiguous . Defining the noun, in  fact , is not an easy task. Describe  the  means  to reach  the area of  spirituality  is probably easier is  frankly  self  of what it is. The three pathways to  spirituality are  due  to the  almost universal tradition of the apostles left to  us, in my opinion:

Considering the  relative feeling experience  is  not important; 

Try to  reject the  constraints ;

Try to  treat  everyone  equally, without  discrimination  standpoint ,  intellectual  color, slightly,  education  etc ...

Trying to  exercise of the  races  in Europe in the last century has  come in  the  way  that, under this definition, not "spiritual".

It is often assumed that there is a  profound  and  radical difference  between East and West, between Europe and Asia, in their  attitudes  towards  life , in the sense of  value , and in the way  of thinking  .  their soul  . Christians who say that  Buddhism is  not  suitable  for   European living conditions are those who have forgotten the Asian origins of their  religion and of all  religions  in  this respect  . A  religion  is a structure of aspirations  spirit, reject the world and deny the  temptation to  attach to it. Undergo  three thousand years  alone  Asia  take on  the role  creativity  the  ideas and  methods of  spirituality . The Europeans on the  ways  this has been borrowed from Asia, has  adapted  to the  ideas  of Asia, and,  generally , made them become  violent . I believe that one can not cite any  spiritual creation   in Europe whose  creation  is not Leaving the first , not  getting  excited from the  East . Thought  Europe very deft in setting to the  rules  and organizing  the society ,  especially in Rome and Britain and to  perceive  and  control  scientifically the  phenomenon of  senses . Traditional  native Europeans tend to assert  the will  to survive  and  a positive  spin on  the world  of the  senses. The  spiritual tradition  of Humanity  builds  on the denial of  the  living will  and turns its back on  the world  of  feeling . All of   Europe's spirituality , since the time of Pythagorean and Parmenid onwards, has been renewed cyclically by the  stream of consciousness that  spreads from the East. Let's  get away  from  philosophical  Greek those  elements  of Oriental , please  take away the  registration-Car, St. Paul, Denys l'Areopagite,  thought  Arabic - and  thoughts of spiritual  Europe for two thousand years  became something unimaginable. About  a century ago,  Indian thought   began to  spread its influence  on the European realm, and   that thought helped the debris of  the  remnant of European  spirituality revive . 

Some features  distinguish  Buddhism  from other  forms  of  wisdom . They consist of two types:

Much of what was  lineage  as "Buddhism" is not due to the  practice of  intellectual  , but because of the  conditions of  the society in which the  Buddhist church  exists , due to  the language  used and by science and  mythology  universal  in  the masses  accept  it. We must distinguish the curiosity of outward curiosity with the essential of a holy life  .

There are many  methods  to reach  liberation  by  thinking , on this point,  the traditional Buddhist  recorded  clearly  and fully than anywhere. However , it is a  matter  entirely  of temperament. If  studied  carefully,  literature  of Jaina, Sufi [1], the  Religious  Christianity in the Desert of Egypt, and of what  the Church  Christians  called  theology  "austerity" or "god ", most of the same type will be seen.

 For those who have  completely  disappointed  with  the world  now , and with yourself,  Buddhism  could  dedicate  many  charismatic  - in looks sublime top nozzle of the lands  the elves  of  thought  delicate  of it, in looks  brilliant  of these  works  of art, in the splendor of the  areas  that it covers up the crowds island, and in  the attitude  hero  drastic and  reinforced how  noble  calm  of those who have been  nurtured in it. Although  at first  one might be  attractive  by  nature  strange  of  thought  , one can only  appraise  are  worth  authentic  Buddhism  while criticizing it by the results that it generates in life day in and day  out .

These rules  pure  steering  behavior  by  scriptures  of Buddhism  proposed  gathered under three  themes :  virtue, concentration  and  wisdom.  Much of what is  included  in the list of  World  and  Dinh  is patrimony all  movement  religion  in  India  looking for  deliverance  in a life isolated from  society  trivial daily. We  find  here, in addition to the  law of  behavior for  lay people, There is no law for the life  of brotherhood  is not the home of  monks ; many  methods of  practicing  Yoga, allows  respiratory  conditioning and intentions, the  control of  teachers concerned,  the method  to create  the state  of samadhi  by herdsman looked at the color circle, the stage ecstasies of  religious set  of  compassion , sympathetic joy and  discharge immeasurable . In addition, meditation on a  characteristic ,  often  implied by the encouragement, is  found  in any  mystical religion.  like reflection about death, about the disgusting group for the  operation  of  the body  material , the  Three Jewels  of Buddha, Dharma ( Truth ) and the Sangha (the  Brotherhood ). Few can  hope to  practice  all these  methods  in  one lifetime  . There are many  paths  to  liberation .

The  general nature of these  roads  is that they aim  to  extinguish  confidence  in the individual.

But given  its  vague meaning  today, the word "personality" can not carry  the Buddha  's  thought . According to  the teachings of Buddhism  that later  we  will have the opportunity to go into  detail  over,  man , with all of the  property  may have been included in "groups",  the term  is Skandha (Aggregates). That is:

Body

Feel

Sense

Motivation  and  emotion

Mobility  of  consciousness [2]

Anything an  individual  can grasp or  possess , or rely on, belongs to one of the five groups, forming the  essence  of "personality." Please  trust  to personality is  seen as  arising  from the discovery of an "I" on  the aggregates . This confidence manifests  itself   in the  assumption that this is "mine", or "I am" this, or this or that "is me". Or, in other words, in the  belief  that "I am this", or "I have that", or "that is in me" or "I am in it." The character of personality disappears with confidence  relies on it because it is nothing more than imagination  frivolous . As an  individual , because  the aggregates  give proper , continuous  existence , the result is  nirvana  -  the goal  of  Buddhism . If one wants to  express  that fact  by saying that one has found "true personality", the word "personality", as one understands today, suffices and  vaguely  to  allow  it. . However,  the  Buddhist scriptures  clearly  try to avoid   this idiom or any other way describe  any equivalent.

Many  schools of  Buddhism , as I  try to  present,  arising  from the differences in the way go to  salvage  General  Buddhism . Right in  the Sangha  primitive , it is  noted  that many of the temper and  radical  difference went to the destination using the roads are different, "Sariputra (Xa-Loi-Waving)  reputation  for  wisdom , Ananda (A -Nan) because of  faith  and devotion, Maudgalyayana (Section-Kien-Union) for  capacity  magic . After this, different mind- persons   set up these sects are different, and, furthermore, the  spread  teachings  led to the  split  with  personality  geographic and private organizations. Some  methods of  completing  the  demolition  personality that  we  will discussed in the next chapter of this book, do not see mention of the class at the neck of the  tradition  as it  lineage  to  us , or if only   silently announced . But, as many  Buddhists  later  argue ,  the Buddha  in the His love  for  sentient beings , unwilling to give up anything that can help those who seek to find  the right way . A large portion of  this work  will be devoted to  explaining the fundamental doctrine   of each  major sect  ,  the method by  which  sects  choose for themselves, how that method  can be considered as leading to the  item. What are  other  methods  and how did it  work  in  the world of history ? 

BUDDHISM  AS A  LITERARY 

Philosophy , as one understands it in Europe, is a  glowing work  of Greek. It's very  strange to  traditional  Buddhism ,  traditionally  considered the  search for  reality , with  the purpose of  sole  is  understanding  more about  reality  as something  engrossing  vain . Teachings  of  Buddha  special  diligence  and the highway leading  liberation . Any "philosophy" contained in  the work  of  the  Buddhist author also only  character  randomly . In the vocabulary forest  Buddhist  people do not  find  a word equivalent to the word "philosophy" of  us . an  explanation  analogy  may  clarify  views  this.  Chinese languages , as the Chinese understand, have no  grammar , and are taught in China with no  grammatical instruction   . Some  Western linguists , patterned after   Latin linguistic categories , form a "grammar" for Chinese. It's not   It is  very appropriate for Han and Chinese people  to continue  using it. Grammar  type Latin with  categories familiar ,  however , can help  Westerners  learn Chinese language more easily. Similarly  so,  intend  to define  ideology  of Buddhism  under  the term  philosophy  common  in  the West  can make the  path  to  Buddhism  around Versatility. Buddhism  as a "philosophy" from which it can be  described as a "psychological" tendency. We  take  turns  surveyed three  titles  this.

As a  doctrine  to  liberate one's  own ground and  mind ,  Buddhism  is always  prominent because  of the   drastic practical attitude . All  speculations  on  issues  not  related to liberation  are  dismissed  . Suffering is  the  foundation of life. When a person is hit by a name, he probably does not refuse to let the arrows be spit out before  finding out  who shot him, who was  married. or not, high or low, brown or black hair. All he wanted was to draw his arrow. About training  last  of  Buddha  for  disciples  is  All  conditioned things  are  impermanent . Be  diligent  on the way home.  In the course of  history long  behind class , the  Buddhists  never forget undertakings  practice  this multitude of  misconceptions  there  might not  happen if people are  aware  that the  judgment  of the  author Buddhism  does not mean that statements  speak  about  the nature  of  reality , but as  advice  on how action is taken,  judgment  on  behaviors , and  experiences  related  to them. "If you want to go there, you have to do this." "If you do that, you will experience it."

Therefore  we  can say without fear of  mistake  that  thought  Buddhist  Athenian of what  we called  Pragmatic  neo . The value  of an  idea  must be judged by what  we  can do by virtue of the quality of  life  derived from it. At wherever they  find  the explicit of virtues such as  wealth before ,  generous , self-crystalline  serenity  etc ... one might believe that the "philosophy" behind an  attitude Somehow that has worked. Whatever  teachings  you can  assert  that baptism  leads to the  extinction of  passion  but not to  passions ; to be  free  , not  bound ; to the reduction  of  secular goods  rather than  to  the  accumulation  of  secular goods ; to  be frugal  , not to  covetous ; to  satisfaction  rather than  afflictions ; to go straight, not  to  society ; next lucid  , not stagnate; to  rejoice  with  friendly France  not to  happy  with  the evil law , the  doctrine  which ye may  assert  that; That is the world. That is the Law. That is the Instruction of  the Blessed One .

Buddhism  develops,  its  practicality becomes even   more transparent . People come to believe that whatever one may say is  false  self-righteous -  wrong  because  the  only thing is  to say  it. He does not know; I do not know.  Only have  faith  silent  Aryan  no  insult  to the  truth . If one speaks of something - and the  surprising thing  is that those who uphold the  silence of  ryryan must speak too much - that is only possible. Justified  by what is called "good means". In other words, people say it because it can help others at some stage of their  spiritual progress   .

Teachings  sacred  above all a remedy. Buddha  as a physician. Like a physician must know the diagnosis of many different diseases, must know the root cause,  detoxification  and remedies and must know how to  apply ,  so  the Buddha  has up the  Four Noble Truths , specify  the scope  of  suffering , origin, cessation and  the path  leading to the  cessation of suffering  (cf. Chapter I). But if people broke away these words  the teaching  of  the Buddha with the aim that they  perform , the words The teaching  was  meaningless  and lost  its strength.

Thinking  as a  means of  liberating  key  of  Buddhism . "Doing something" is not as strong seismic  visualization and disciplined  spirit . What people are aiming to achieve is  controlling the spiritual processes   by thinking about those processes. So  the thought  of Buddhism filled with what  we  called the  Psychological  Study . It blends the metaphysical and  psychological  a  miracle  that in  the West  we  do not have a  form Any idea  is equivalent.

Apart from  the nature  of experimental and the  emphasis  on  aspects of  psychology ,  thought  Buddhism  was in favor of what  we  may call the  dialectic  method . Dialogue  is a  form  of logic,  linked  in Europe with  names  such as Zénon d'Elée and Hegel. Dialectical approach believe that if  we  envisage  decent  and  mature  about something,  we  will go to the  conflict  means to Judge  that foreign exchange is mutually exclusive. The  thought  in  Buddhism  like  the paradox  and  contradiction . I can prove this with two excerpts from the  Vajrayana , a canon that was probably written  about  350 AD after TL, with more readers than any  other  metaphysical work. Here  the Buddha  said this. " Subhùti , " "sentient beings," "  Tathagata  called them" non-sentient beings. " So  they are called "sentient beings."  And: " How many  sentient beings? In these  worlds  we know, in our  mind , our mind strain. Why so? "Mind," "this mind" Subhùti,  Tathagata  teaches that "non-mind" should be called "mind" so it is called "mind" Why? the  mind is unimaginable ; the  impossible mind ; At present the  mind is also  impossible . "

By winning the  thought ,  the conflict  is  liberated . Another chain of  existence  has been cut off and the  limitless space   of  truth  itself opens immensely. In a  more mundane way,  some people may have a similar sensation   when learning about  absurd literature . In  Buddhism, the norms of  morality  are  disregarded in the name of the freedom  of the  spirit of transcendence. Besides, that's the part     introduction  of the  concept  of the  Absolute  , but here, as well as with Zenon, Nicolas de Cues and Hegel, has turned the  ruling  contradicts the intrinsic  become  reasonable .

DEMOCRACY AND  DIFFERENTIATION 

Contribution  especially  of  Buddhism  in  thought  religion  's emphasis on the theory of " non-self "  (Pali Security - Āttā, Sanskrit: Security - Atman).  The belief  that there is a "self" is  considered by all  Buddhists as  the  main cause of suffering. We create  concepts  like "I" and "mine" and then generate all the  circumstances  defilements . We will  be  completely  happy ,  happy  forever,  happy  like the baby in the mother's womb, according to a new psychologist , if  we can  get rid of the self. Assuming  that one is truly  happy  not to belong to this world, but one of the  dialectic paradoxes   which for the street people is a   blatant nonsense . In any  case ,  the obvious  joy  misfortunes  requires me to  assimilate  myself with other things, according to the  sense  that I think, what happened to things that happened to me. If there is a tooth, and if the tooth is damaged, it is  related  to the tooth and to the tooth nerves  connected to it. If now the "I" spread out to the teeth,  convince  myself that it is my "tooth" and sometimes do not  have to  try to convince  myself   - and believe what happens to the tooth. Forcing meto touch  ,  a  disturbance  in  thought  is most likely to arise. Buddhism  looks at things like this: this is  the idea  of "me",  completely  imagined, not  corresponding  to a  reality at  all. All sorts of processes from there  appear  in  the world.

Now I create another  illusion  of the imagination,  the concept of  "belonging" and come to the assumption that some parts of the world can not be so   clearly defined as "belonging" to "me" or " mine". In  perspective  this is very different Buddha-teaching some of the  traditions  of  Western  us . In  philosophy  Aristotle, for example, the  notion of  "belonging" that (hyparkhein)  completely  is  recognized  as a  data  first  experience , and  all  moral  and  ontological Aristote's study was  built  on  that notion  .

Doctrine  anattà this very deeply. It is assumed that  one's life is  not enough to  come down  to its bottom. According to  traditional  Buddhist  retransmit it  includes  two  judgments  affirmed. The two clauses we  need to  distinguish  are:

It is  asserted  that in  reality  there is nothing  corresponding  to the words in  the concept of "me", "mine", "belonging" etc. In other words, the  self is not  an  event .

We  caught  forced to say nothing of the empirical self worth is regarded as self  authenticity . (See Chapter IV).

In the two clauses, the second clause through this book will become clearer. Now  we  take a survey of the first clause.

We  must  fight  conviction  intellectuals  that have a so-called "self" or "soul" or "copy-able", there is a relationship  involved as "belonging" or "of". We do  not deny that the self, etc. are the  facts  of  the world  as it  appears  to justice but, with  status  as  facts  of  reality  I fear,  we  must reject the "self" and the  notion of  contact  near and far  with it This step carries a critical narrative. If not There is no such thing as a "person". For a "person" is something organized  around  an  assumed nucleus  , a  center  of development, a "self."

In  works  Conflict  and Food  of me, I have tried to present it with the  words  present arguments  Buddhist order  against  the value of  the objective of the concept of "self". Repeat these arguments here that will lead  us to  go over the radar. Some evidence can be used  against  the notion  of "self,"  we  often say always and find it difficult to ignore these words. . In the UK, the denial of the  existence  of the self (ego), Hume, as an  entity  (entity) differences with the  brain very close to the theoretical anattà On the  viewpoint  of pure  theory ,  Buddhism  in  terms of  not  only guide  us more and in a  form  suitable  than as Hume and  ideas  in is like Villiam James. The difference between  Buddhist , European, and American philosophers  is that they do something with a philosophical statement when they have  reached  it. In Europe-Asia  we  have been concerned with the separation almost  completely between the  theories  of the  philosophers  and the  practice between  views  about  the nature  of  the universe  and  the way of life  of cough Schopenhauer and Herbert Spencer was the  case  very  special . If a  philosopher  here has  proven  that there is no  ego  he could stop there and may  behave  completely as if there is a self skirt heart  desires , hatred and  bondage  in  fact  still intact  Despite  the philosophical arguments  . People  judge  him according to coherence  His point of view , not with  life , but with the  same views  , in the manner of writing, according to the  wisdom  - in  short , according  to  purely  intellectualstandards . Can not "overrule" a  philosopher by  demonstrates  that he has  behaved  too brutal to his wife,  hated him  with you  fellow  delight  more, and became angry when miffed.

Buddhism ,  on the contrary ,  insist  thoroughly  on how to move live, on  personality  sanctity of  life , on  emancipation  from the  world  this clause  subject completed  all have  personality theory  as "no ego" are Considered as  extremely  dry and impassioned. Thought  is nothing more than an instrument and its products is how to  justify  only  the  thoughts  he

Not  contented  with conviction  intellectuals  that there is no  ego , the  Buddhists  to a  attitude completely  new before  life . Day by day, in all the duties and in the  boredom  of   everyday life , he must learn  to behave  like  an  inanimate person.  Those  who  seek  in  Buddhism new and strange ideas . on  the subject of self, will not see much. Who wants to find in it the  advice How to live a  life of  no-self , that person will learn a lot. Part great contribution of the "philosophy"  of Buddhism  lies in the  method  that  philosophy  that  studies  to print the  truth without self  uphill minded  reluctance  of  us , in the discipline for which the  Buddhists  put for himself to turn  truth  into a major part of  people  they are.

NOTES  BI WITH  thoroughly 

Another aspect of the theory anattà, reinforced reject all form or  charismatic  self experimentation has led to  Buddhism  famous  as a  faith  "pessimistic". Truly  the world  is, that is all that is finite and  impermanent , are explicitly considered as  totally  evil ,  totally imbued with  suffering , deserve to be  abandoned  altogether , because one  end  only ,  Nirvana . However , I'm not  entirely  sure  that "theory pessimistic  "is an appropriate noun   to refer to that  attitude  to  the world  . The  observer  members in countries  Buddhism  as Burma,  Tibet  reported  that residents would  essentially  happy ,  happy  again - who often also as priests. It is  confusing  to see that u-aggregates  pessimistic  readers in  classic Buddhism  again  reflected  by an  attitude of  joy  to the world. This world  can be one Ocean tears, but also have the source of fun to relieve the  burden . Must refuse  the world . But if there is  heaven  to  give up  the world , the benefits  are unparalleled  compared to the loss. In any  case , the best thing  we  can do before a noun like "pessimism" is to put it aside and look straight at  the problem .

Attitudes  Negative  of  thought  in  Buddhism  to the  world  can  contact  markedly with  the problem  meaning  the life  and  destiny of human . Although  the issue  how difficult matter, and  although  attitudes  attention  to  the problem  which of  us  seem to lack scientific any way,  we  still have to  seek  a  solution  to the  problem  is, by for all happiness  and  sake abundance of  life  we  depend  question  answered  this phenomenon to  views  about  the nature  and  destiny  of human  or  the meaning  of a  human life , in general, can be classified into two types: According to some,  human  is the product of the world. Earth is his home. His job is to  feel  at home on earth. Self-  preservation  is the highest law of the telescope, which can be described as a duty, of  man . Others, on the  contrary , believe that  man  is one  an insecure spirit , a   distant soul from  heaven , a stranger on earth. His duty is to restore his  perfect state   before falling to the ceiling. Self-denial is the highest law and the duty of  man .

Background  civilization  current  of  us  uphold  perspective  first,  Buddhist  point  Monday. Of course  advocated that these roads can be  decided  by mere argumentation is a  work  in vain. In all  decisions  about the  value  one must  be careful  to avoid being featured  hobbies , temperament and heart  Popularity  on  par  with objective laws and  nature . People are only  selected my stand and not  force  others along with me. The Buddhist point  of  view is  only  appropriate  for those who have been  completely  desperate  for life, for themselves, who  are extremely  sensitive to suffering, and any  chaos  , who aspire to  happiness , and who  are capable of  give up . No  Buddhists  do  assume  that all  people  can or want to understand  religion  around.

Buddhists  seek  a source  of  perfect happiness across  the world.  Why is he so much greedy? Why not willing to cultivate  happily  though  the limit  of the world is over? The  answer  is, in  fact , people do not find  us  content. If the  increase  in physical comfort  and   worldly satisfaction could make  us  happy  , the people of London's suburbs must be more refreshed and contented than those of China and the  peasants of  Spain. House a lot. Actually the opposite is true. Human nature , according to the  perspective  of Buddhism , was  constructed  so  we  can only  contented  with  permanent  full-integrity,  pleasant  fullness ,  peace  full . And none of the things that  we  can  find  in the realm of life  is impermanent  this phenomenon to

Discover  that the  philosophers  and  psychologists  new  implementation  in the years  recently  about the importance of that extreme  anxiety  in the end can present  us  with a  tone very  Buddhist . According to  opinion  formed by Schler, Freud, Heidegger and Jaspers in the depths of  people  we  have that  anxiety  platform, a space where all forms of anxiety and  insecurity  flowed. In  its  purest form  ,  This torment is only experienced by those who have a tendency to internalize and philosophize, and it is only  experienced in  a rare way. If people do not myself  feel  it, no  explanation  can  convince  people to believe. If people  feel  it, people will never forget it no matter how hard they try. That  anxiety  that  suddenly  come to  us when  we  're  dreaming , apart from  the world ; we  the  wake  in the night, and feel something  amazing  find yourself here, then that brings  fear  and startled only because  the event  being  alone . Then  we  catch  us , for a moment, at the foot of a wall of a second  nothingness  surrounded around, with a  feeling of  helpless, naked  loneliness  faced  with  events  horrified  find yourself here  Often  we  try to avoid   this experience , because   this experience is  painful  and torn humans  us . Always, I  carefully  avoided my face, but "me" plus all kinds  of experience  of others. Who are always busy, all day, who always have to think about something, people always have to do something, who constantly  fled  the  experience anxiety  platform and scholarly material unique  phenomenon to some extent what  we usually do is lean and  rely  on something else than was the  center  of nowhere  it's  us. Buddhism  that never  we  can happily , before  we  overcome that  anxiety  this platform, and  we  can  implement  it by not relying on anything. 
 

Immortalized  PROPERTIES 

With magnificent view on the prospect  of human nature ,  Buddhism  regarded  efforts  to fight  conquer  immortality  of  us  is a job  fair  and the situation. The goal  of  Buddhism  , as well as that of many   other religions , is  an  immortal recovery , a life not  conquered  by death. Buddha  after  enlightenment  claims  have been flung open "the doors of Everlasting". There is, of course  , a profound difference   between  continuity of one's personality and  immortality  on the other. Immortality  is the opposite of this life, life is  bound to death and can not be waved  off . We  started  up the road  to go to death at  us new  birth . The level of  metabolism  in the body begins to slow down  just after  conception. Birth is  the cause  of death. All  plight  can  sow  death is the only accidental procreation, rather than conception is the  cause  decision death can not be avoided. Sometimes I believe that the British  maintain a  good habit  of  punishing the  sinner  by hanging because this  form of family  gives us a  symbol  of life. At the  moment we  dive from the plank down with a  noose around our neck. Then  we  will be strangled - it's just  a matter  of time . We  sense  the situation  dangerous  of  us  in every moment,  depending on  we  dare face  it or not. How people  can  feel  comfortable  in the meantime? Immortality  is therefore not a   long-held desire to be bought at the cost of an  inevitable decadence  , but rather a  desire to  transcend this personality.

Now  suppose  John Smith rainshadow the  state  transience of  all things , was created in a  time  short leave  destruction  date  Suppose  he wants to become  immortal . At that time, he had no  choice  but to reject himself  during  his  existence  . He must eliminate all that is  impermanent  in him. Let's  imagine what Mr. Smith left after he became  immortal . His body is  obvious lost. With  his body  his  instincts  also disappeared - as they connect with the  body . His spirit  as he knows it, is also  sacrificed . Because the  spirit of this  we  bind  with the process of the  body , the  operation  of it based on the  data  from these  agencies physics  of the  senses  provide , and  spirit  showed  character  impermanent Its like leaping from one thing to another without ever resting. Along with  the spirit , sense and   logical agreement also go. Thus, once he  becomes  immortal,  Smith will no longer  recognize himself. He lost everything that made him and others  aware of  him. And he will only be  regenerated  if he knows how to reject everything to do shady aspects  immortality  of  man  he was - located outside  the aggregates  as  Buddhism  has said - if he knew disclaims all All that makes up the little  darling dear your. Method of  formation of  Buddhism , in fact, to make black comb in a way that  the system  the  attachment of  us  with those of  us  prevents  us recover  immortal  qualities that  we  lost when the  born . The body  was  conquered ,  instinct weakened,  the mind  calm,  thinking  logically, blocked  destroyed  by the  irrational , and  events  little senses , the eye of  faith  and the eye of  wisdom  replacing the eyes of the  body . One remembers the training of John Wesley when he urged him   to " kill themselves bit by bit".

But, as I said, it all  depends on one  's perspective  on human  nature . Those who view  man as  a living  creature of the world will tend to  compare the Buddha  's  immortal  aspirations   to the slug left  home  for a space exploration  . Who considered  the human  essence is a possible current  spiritual  'll  allegoric  of  Buddhism  on the  swan When you leave the lake, when you go from pool to pool, do not park  until  you  return to their  home in the clear waters   of the top of the lake.

THE  VALUE OF  THE CUU 

Oil for Career  sage  eloquent to much away about the  aspects  of this,  the conscience  still  can not  feel  that  way  ethereal, though  very  noble, not  suitable  for those who have to live in  the earthly  and on earth. Today, all   Darwinian people are  unconscious , and  the everlasting value   of a   published doctrine is not worth a dime. How does  that doctrine  stand on the earth? However the event  History  has made  the perplexing confession no less. The congregation is one  of  the  world's most respected associations . It  lasts  longer than any other organization, except  for sects  closely  related  to it, Jainasem. Here  we  have the atrocities of  history , by the military, by boat and  by  the guardians . It is unlikely  that an empire could  last  longer than three centuries. There  we  have a  movement  of   volunteer beggars who always raise of poverty  than  the honor , has sworn not  to kill  living beings ,  lifelong  dreamer  of  dreams great , and create realms  celestial pregnant , those who despise all things  secular  uphold, promote all the  secular disdain patient,  generous , leisurely contemplation. And yet, while the mighty empires,  built  on greed, hatred and ignorance lastedonly   a few centuries, their rejection has  supported the  Buddhist Congregation  for 2500 years. I believe a lot  of hypothesis can be  triggered  from  this event  . The  only thing  I want to mention is Darwinism, and the other  philosophies  behind the superstitions are superficial; They also have their time - a time not  long  and not   very stable . Whereas the   great and universal wisdom tradition of  mankind  sinks to the source, interferes with both the  breath and the rhythm of life. Gentle themselves who  inherit  the earth, the gentle people who  have  inherited  the earth - because they alone are the ones who are willing to live communication with it. Philosophers  Chinese  Lao Tzu  has  expressed  that very  wonderful  in the  Tao Te Ching  (Chapter VII):

"Long and long land.

So  heaven and earth live long.
