let us examine each of these statements in how they do not conform with Buddhism:
4 noble truths and suffering, The reality and imagination. A humanbeing suffering with a cancer pain, do you think these (4 noble truts ) do help him or her? Lets be honest... At least (4 noble truths ) might be workable for some situations, but not for all of them! 1. buddha taught suffering is attachment, caused by craving. cancer pain is not attachment. cancer pain is not craving. therefore, how can cancer pain be the
dukkha
the Buddha ended?
If there is no self, there is no place to be in it 2. the mind experiences nibbana.
İn Buddhism there is no soul, no spirit, no atma and no self. Therefore
there can be no rebirth
neither. In other words,
rebirth in Buddhism is not a personal one
... 3. this is illogical, first saying there can be no rebirth then saying there is impersonal rebirth
the buddha taught there is 'rebirth'. each time 'self-view' or 'jati' arises, the mind takes 'birth again'. thus 'rebirth' is always personal and never impersonal. each occassion the delusion of 'personality view' (sakkāya-diṭṭhi) arises in the mind is 'rebirth'
You need sex as you need to eat. These are natural insticts. Whoever refrain from sexual relations will be out of real life for sure. 4. did the Buddha spent most of his life "out of real life"?
The problem is that in reality Buddhism has a duality, one for lay people, one for the monks. This indicates that Buddhism is not precise. I am trying to show this dilemma. If we will not have any attachment we should not advocate this sort dualities. If Buddhism claims that Buddha Dhamma are the laws of nature, there is no such duality in nature. 5. buddha did not teach 'non-duality'. there is no natural truth to 'non-duality'. 'oneness' & 'diversity' are merely perceptions. 'man' & 'woman' represent the ultimate duality. thus the creationist religions all teach 'God created the sexual pairs'. how can engaging in sexual activity be 'non-dualistic'?
The ten thousand things carry yin and
embrace yang.
They achieve harmony by combining
these forces. There is no attachment, there is no personal rebirth neither. 6. Of course there is attachment, which is why Buddha encouraged human beings to learn to give up attachment.
But
when
there is no attachment, there is no rebirth. But when there is attachment, there is personal rebirth.
People who think the validity of rebirth are the ones who attach themselves to their no-self very tight. 7. This makes no sense at all & is unintelligible. Possibly, it contains a missing word?
