EDIT TID: Continued from Second thread First thread can be found here royalblue[/hr] Thank you heywood, and I admit I am not very familiar with buddhist teachings, but I took a lot away from siddhartha (sp), it was a magnificent book (even if it was written by a german) and I do like some aspects of it such as the belief that all of life is simply a continuing series of reactions (far before other philosophers got there).

Wow. Another entire 200 posts to debate the meaning or lack thereof of life...
I'm still burnt out from the last thread...

If I had to say what the meaning of life was, I would say that there needn't be a meaning, but perhaps a meaning of what you do in life. Give your life meaning, and life has all the meaning it needs.
EDIT: Of course, we all know the REAL meaning of life is smileys! hh: |

Quote:Originally posted by DarkAsmodeous Yea, thats what I find so interesting about Buddhism. To me its really not a religion, but rather a philisophical outlook on life. In a way it can be applied to any other religion and still make sense. Take for instance a few cardinals and bishops are also Zen masters. And yea the veiw of life as simply a continuous string of events where nothing is permanant is intriguing. Buddhism also goes along with your notion that we are no more important than anything else on the planet, since they believe that everyone and everything on the planet (inlcuding the planet itself) are interconected, the only thing sepparating a human from a rock is the layers of dukkha (loosely translated as suffering) that one has stripped away from your inner conciousness. If you get a chance I'd recomend reading "What the Buddha Taught", its an amazingly interesting book.

Ooo speaking of Buda I have one of the book's ive read some of it and yeah its not realy a religion its more of a way of life that is ment to be peacefull and calm with a respect for the earth in all its beauty. No I am not a Budist I am my own person not defined by any term of bounds such as religion or belife system my belifes are purely basied on my experiences and my own life. Oh btw i now have a life got a job as a car porter.

Ha, voodoo is nothing more than a poor localization of a voodun.
