Buddhism

Hi,Friends

  Recently when I’m talking to one of my friend we came across Buddhism.I know about it before but very little.I wondered what is there in this religion that everyone says it’s so great and I started reading about it.I came across a small info about the Buddhism.I found it fascinating so I wanna share it with you people.

* First of all Buddhism is NOT a religon. It is a philosophy. This is a interesting fact to consider before comparing Buddhism with other religons.

* Secondly, only Buddhism states of a Anithya, Dukkha, Anathma.
 

#Anithya :- Nothings is stays the same. Everything changes, the only thing that does not change is “change” itself.
  

#Dukkha :- due to the fact that everything changes it results in sorrow pain which comes from attachment. We want things we like, people we love to stay the same. We dont like to loose them. But the reality is whether we like it or not we cant change the obvious changes, once u understand the true nature the more control you have over your mind.
 

#Anathma – the perception of “me”, “mine” is an illusion. There is no “me” when u refer to the physical mass (body) of a person. If the physical body is “mine” then i should be able to control it’s aging, it’s death. But we cant, what do u refer as “mine” if you cant control it? there is no “spirit” that travel from body to body. it is only the mind that hangs on to the physical body. just like thoughts, when we think of a apple we give birth to a thought there. an energy is born. the minute divert our thoughts to something else the thoughts of the apple dies and another new stream of thoughts are given birth.

But all religions teach good things. It is that you can train a person to be good either telling lies, using the fear for punishment, using fear for god etc. and theres the truth reality which can be used to make people good.

Buddhism never impose rules, never say you must fear Buddha, never say you must ONLY follow buddha etc. Rather “Don’t accept things just because they come from heritance, from your parents, from teachings, or just because i tell them. But take the facts and think of them logically with brain with an open mind and accept or refuse.”

Politics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's talk about Rules and Rule-makers.Whether they are good or Can they do good for us??

    I think there is no good in politics,there is just less bad and more

 bad.We shouldn't expect politicians to be good,we know they use crores of money to get a seat and give so much money to win.So,they try to make money every chance they get.And we people see nothing,but when he is doing bad things we say these politicians are bad.After sometime they became used to do wrong things and we say it's common.When a man doesn't do well any responsible work he start roaming without any work.He become friends with the people like him and a group forms.They will put a name for it,they work for the local leaders by joining a party.They do fightings on the name of the party.The local leader encourages them and the leader of the gang will get a chance to participate in elections.So,they use money and become leaders or it may happen if they are relation of a big leader. But they don't know nothing about how to rule.

    So many politicians are not well-educated but have money.And people who do well in their studies and know how to develope think politics is a very bad thing.And what happens at last we are being ruled by people who are money minded and don't know how to develope a nation.If a good fellow want to come to politics he should have money for campaigning and he should have some background to get seat and eventhough he wins if he do good things that will be bad for some big people.So,in this nation a good politician can never be in high positions.And a man who is poor and honest can never be a politician.The people who support you want their works to be done without any problem if not you are useless for them people don't think in vast way.Everyone thinks what he will do to him if he wins.No one thinks what help the nation will have if he wins.So as long as we don't change the politics won't change.

     The change never comes in a day it takes centuries.So first change ourselves.I wanna change,what about yours???

What's going on?????

What happening in this world.People are wasting their time on the issues where they don't get any use.Why rule-makers are wasting time whether to put a scull or warning on a cigarette packet,what happens if you put or doesn't put a warning on it.Everyone knows cigarette is injurious to health,we are acting like some people don't know its injurious to health and we should warn them.We say public smoking is prohibited,but people smoke in public places without any hesitation.They feel like hero's while smoking in public and movies also portray smoking as a style.People are getting affected by public smoking.If you really want to make a law that really have an effect on something,then give the power to people who are affecting,if someone smokes in public place everyone should slap who feels public smoking is not good.And specify the public places,but what you are doing is making laws which weigh for nothing.
