Don't forget the crusades which probably causes the current turmoil in the middle east now as well.

a "good" religion is like an enclosed rotten egg. if you dont break it, it wont smell.
i don't recall any serious human live lost because of buddhism even though it belong to a pampered prince who got shocked, he should have seen a therapist if there is one back in those day to overcome his trauma instead of running away and hide under the tree.

unlike christianity who had burnt, hung, raped, tortured, forced conversion on an epic scale throughout the history. remember the spanish conquistadors' invasion into south america? how many natives there had died?

I find this documentary on SBS pretty interesting.

http://www.sbs.com.au/documentary/pr...ible-A-History

yes, i watched that before.. the first 2 chapters were interesting enough but the latter are dead bore.

and it is confirmed, the first 5 books was NOT written by moses, historians timed their first publication when the jews were held in captivities by the Assyrians.

There you go! Unlike Christianity.....who were those people in this 'Christianity'? Go go back again, the Vatican, the Vatican....they have nothing to do with Christianity....to many true believers of the Bible, Vatican, RC is just a institution....many Christians, true-believers don't assocate them.....Spanish....by and large they were and I think still are RC....Don't bark at the wrong tree, please....The most commonly used words by atheists to rebuke what true-believers believe are: They all; the Christianity; those priests; those Popes; those pastors. But who are 'those'...they don't represent true-believers, neither do they represent our Living God, Jesus Christ. They are just 'those' people...nothing to do with Jesus. You have to ask yourself, did Jesus went round asking money; was He given high position in the government, in the religious council, was He given a royal burial....No! Quite to the contrary....Jesus is Jesus...don't connect Him to the 'those' you mentioned. And what the Spanish invasion has to do with Jesus. Just cannot understand and cannot connect what you trying to connect.

But you still have not answered my question...you have fundamental disagreement with your friend...My God is my G....????

talk cock, you know the history of the development of modern christianity a not. All branches off from RC. if you were to ask me, the real and authentic form of christainity has got to be the RC, the rest of the branches form to break away due to political reason and change certain part of the bible to fit their own agenda. Christians true-believers hur? just bunch of selective reader of the original form of christianity.

the current form of christianity that you believe in DID NOT EXIST IN THAT ERA. the only form of christainity then was the RC. so in another word, you are a cult

That is a misinterpretation.

色之空，空之色

He was asking how "zero" nihilism could be equated to the quote of 色之空，空之色. The article and link basically answered the question. In fact there are several, mathematical and scientific discoveries that relates to the same concept in nature.

色 (form) is one of the 5 Skandhas (heaps). At higher rungs are the other 4 - feelings, perceptions, impulses and consciousness.

It will be easier to understand the concept of 空 (emptiness) with all 5 Skandhas (heaps) introduced.

Any input most welcomed.

The way I see it >>>> got fuck = got fuck, no fuck = no fuck. zazen!

[tgs]

the way i see it; humans have sex for procreation and pleasure.

to deny oneself of this is to deny his own human nature and humanity.

that is why we see celebrate catholic priests molesting kids and temple monks sneaking out to seek whores.

i have seen those monks that come to funerals to conduct services, drove a bmw with rolex watches, and invite the coffin acquaint to his house for drink and watch porn. but this are in the minority.
