Hi Riju,
Buddhist yourself, in my humble opinion it might also be a good idea to leave cosmic electrons and the Lotus Sutra aside for a while - and just see if you can grasp some of the earlier core teachings of the historical Buddha such as The Four Noble Truths and Noble Eightfold Path, Dependent Origination etc. and engage in some questions and answers in order to understand and clarify them.

Kind regards

Aloka I have accepted your humble opinion and now posed a problem to you in beginners forum. The name of the topic is "Simple Logic"

I have read Four Noble Truths, Noble Eightfold Path and Dependent Origination as per your advice.
Why do I still feel that these studies are probably not required at my stage? Probably I could not have written on the thread "Nothing Exists" if I had not the understanding of these basic teachings. Even a Hindu can understand a lot of Buddhism. I surrendered my knowledge of Gita , Upnishads, Vedas etc. at the feet of Guatam Buddha after I learnt the following three Things.

1. Matter and mind have one source and hence Buddha has 32 special physical features.
2. There is nothing like permanent Atma, all is impermanent.
3. And the last important teaching of Buddha ....that Buddhas have succeeded in creating an almost permanent Buddha as per chapter 16 (Life of Thus Come One) and the unsurpassed Wisdom behind the method that they have successfully used.

Guatam Buddha has spoken .00000000001 % of what he knew. He has Not spoken many things but they can be logically derived.
Is the forum "beyond belief " not suitable for this logic?

I am not that anxious to write unless and until it helps the forum. And I will listen to your opinion and advice and abide by it.
