anybody attending world buddhist conference this weekend?

Sariputta's elaboration

[Ven. Sariputta:] "Now what, friends, is the noble truth of stress? Birth is stressful, aging is stressful, death is stressful; sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair are stressful; association with the unbeloved is stressful; separation from the loved is stressful; not getting what is wanted is stressful. In short, the five clinging-aggregates are stressful.

"And what is birth? Whatever birth, taking birth, descent, coming-to-be, coming-forth, appearance of aggregates, & acquisition of [sense] spheres of the various beings in this or that group of beings, that is called birth.

"And what is aging? Whatever aging, decrepitude, brokenness, graying, wrinkling, decline of life-force, weakening of the faculties of the various beings in this or that group of beings, that is called aging.

"And what is death? Whatever deceasing, passing away, breaking up, disappearance, dying, death, completion of time, break up of the aggregates, casting off of the body, interruption in the life faculty of the various beings in this or that group of beings, that is called death.

"And what is sorrow? Whatever sorrow, sorrowing, sadness, inward sorrow, inward sadness of anyone suffering from misfortune, touched by a painful thing, that is called sorrow.

"And what is lamentation? Whatever crying, grieving, lamenting, weeping, wailing, lamentation of anyone suffering from misfortune, touched by a painful thing, that is called lamentation.

"And what is pain? Whatever is experienced as bodily pain, bodily discomfort, pain or discomfort born of bodily contact, that is called pain.

"And what is distress? Whatever is experienced as mental pain, mental discomfort, pain or discomfort born of mental contact, that is called distress.

"And what is despair? Whatever despair, despondency, desperation of anyone suffering from misfortune, touched by a painful thing, that is called despair.

"And what is the stress of association with the unbeloved? There is the case where undesirable, unpleasing, unattractive sights, sounds, aromas, flavors, or tactile sensations occur to one; or one has connection, contact, relationship, interaction with those who wish one ill, who wish for one's harm, who wish for one's discomfort, who wish one no security from the yoke. This is called the stress of association with the unbeloved.

"And what is the stress of separation from the loved? There is the case where desirable, pleasing, attractive sights, sounds, aromas, flavors, or tactile sensations do not occur to one; or one has no connection, no contact, no relationship, no interaction with those who wish one well, who wish for one's benefit, who wish for one's comfort, who wish one security from the yoke, nor with one's mother, father, brother, sister, friends, companions, or relatives. This is called the stress of separation from the loved.

"And what is the stress of not getting what is wanted? In beings subject to birth, the wish arises, 'O, may we not be subject to birth, and may birth not come to us.' But this is not to be achieved by wanting. This is the stress of not getting what is wanted. In beings subject to aging... illness... death... sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair, the wish arises, 'O, may we not be subject to aging... illness... death... sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair, and may aging... illness... death... sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair not come to us.' But this is not to be achieved by wanting. This is the stress of not getting what is wanted.

world buddhist conference was fun.

I found out there are lot of different Buddhist nowadays, so which one u are saying?...My friends told me that they are Buddhist, I tot should be same with me then when I follow her to her home then only she told me she is Japanese Buddhist Society...she consulted me about her religion and it is actually different from our normal Buddhist...

then, I also found some other different Buddhist society but they are actually not the normal Buddhist..the god that they pray are different..I'm confuse

for the Japanese Buddhist Society, they don't have the buddha patung...they only pray to the wood with the close door..and my friends told me that we are the Buddha..human actually is the real Buddha and they wont pray for people that are death...

read this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimoku

it still refers to the teachings of the Sakyamuni Buddha.

I think the same as u but what my friend said is different when I tried to ask her some questions..
I went to her house I din see any Buddha picture and Buddha mold inside her house so I was curious and ask her what Buddha u pray? then, she said they don't pray to Buddha because we are Buddha..

I saw a wood with a close door in their hall..she told me she pray on that...

Can anyone help me where can I get medidate alarm clock around Kuala Lumpur? Thanks in advance

I think many got it wrong. It isn't way of life or all about doing good or burning josssticks or praying to images. The main purpose is enlightenment and all the sutras are all about guiding one to enlightenment if one were to read.

I thought I'd never find a Buddhist thread in LYN... *phew* 
Is anyone here a member of the Subang Jaya Buddhist Association (Youth Section)? I'd like to know more about it...

does everyone who practise buddhism does the Dhamma Practise ?

Their website is seriously outdated weyh. The location of the lot they gave (in SS15 facing the NPE) is different from where their lot is currently located (facing Asia Cafe). I had to walk around the whole row to find the place. 
Want to send them an enquiry form but cannot because of some Captcha error.
Want to call them but no phone number given.
Want to visit them dont know what time they are open. Manatau their activities oso change time and day from what the website says. 
The one near Summit is the main Buddhist Association, with the serious meditating and more in-depth dhamma activities. The youth one is more, you know, youth-oriented. That's the one I wanna join~

anyone read this book before?

does buddhist believes in end of the world?

thanks for the answer...
another thing, what is the real buddhist teaching:

- when you become a buddha (enlightened), you will become 1 with the universe (nothing, gone, finish) as you will not be in the karmic cycle anymoar.

or

- when you become a buddha, you will be like a deva(Gods), only in the highest tier.

I heard 2 different teachings... but in the buddhist teaching considering how life cycles and everything is attached to karma, I guess the first statement is more correct? as to become a Buddha is to lose all the connections with the world...
