The ultimate point is to reach that state, yes. It's not actually a place.

Got it, thanks for clarification and stay blessed.

welcome, stay safe and be happy.

I dont read comic books. So i just got to know of DC Comics on New Super-Man #12 showing the 6 realms of samsara on its opening splash page.



Here, readers get to learn who inhabits the realms, and “the proper way to move from one realm to another is through death n rebirth”.

I think it’s cool that DC Comics incorporate Buddhist concepts into their universe.

Worth noting is that the beings in Hungry Ghost realm is called ‘preta’. As this month is the Hungry Ghost month, let’s perform merits n smoke offerings to alleviate their sufferings.

Amitabha

got 1 thing very curious about buddhism is that my fren told me that being Gay or Les will make u go to hell and you will need to repay your sin by suffering, some say if u r gay/les, you cannot go to heaven.

However, that day i went to temple at Klang "Chen Foh Chong" after 2 hours of pray the sifu will tell some extra life story lesson etc. And that day when i went, he actually mention that GAY/LES also can practice buddhism etc same as normal people.

But then some buddhism books got mention cannot. So actually is how 1? y so weird?

Anyone can practise Buddhism.

Chen Foh Chong aka TBS is a cult

so means anybody can practice buddhism but doesn't tell that being gay/les will go to hell?

Yes, anyone, anybody, can practice Buddhism. Man, woman, kids, sick, healthy, low caste, high caste, beggar, King, dull person, smart person, bad person, good person, hunchback guy, serial murderer, prostitute, manure scavenger, gay or lesbian... even deities in heavens, Asuras, demons, ghosts, forms, without forms, thoughts, without thoughts... there r 84000 ways, just walk the paths, follow the Buddha's teachings.

What happened to Teamjoker? His account seems to be suspended or deleted?

I enjoyed his Di Zi Gui thread.

His profile not showing suspended

His posts and threads seem to be all gone.

I still owe him a lunch as i wanted to thank him for his postings on Di Zi Gui.

I am equally surprised his posts just poof - gone

Maybe he created dupe accounts - anyway if he is still in lurking in this forum, please PM me as i want to buy him lunch as i have promised.

I am 60 y.o. and won't create dupe accounts as i have better use of my time. Anyway some younger people might think it is fun but i am not here to judge.

Teamjoker - drop me a PM if you are still here.

@joe_mamak why a mamak open a buddhism thread and become a thread starter?


Ini menunjukkan kamu kapir....

Semangat muhibah

Just a forum name. From his posts, he seems like non.

Buddhism is for everyone. The teachings makes sense, n practises r systematic. Western followers of Buddhism tend to exclude the mystical elements like celestial beings, reincarnation...etc. n focus on logical n practical elements like why compassion, how to develop compassion, meditation...etc. Whatever works

Not suspended but seems like disabled or invisible status but i can still log in just no point.

Bro, not sure why my nick got like disabled or invisible status. I wrote to the helpdesk but no reply on why they do that. All my thread is gone. But it's ok. I have no attachment to the nick. Anyway i do have another same thread in USJ forum. Will PM you the link.
You are more experienced and I want to learn from you. I buy you lunch instead. I am already grateful to have you as a friend. Thank you for remembering me.

Fake mamak tu. Makan char siew punya.

PM me the link as well

Charsiew mamak?
