Dude, don't you read?

I've told firefawkes to set this as a group thread, but in return he reported me for advising him on that and remained adamant on not putting in group thread. So i had to report this thread as a dupe thread of joe_mamaks and a religious one, which shouldnt be here.

Use your brains for once.

the answer is simple, but can you do it?

so meaning Thai monks can eat meat?

Depends on the question.

Right question leads to right answers. QUestions pertaining to the state of the universe are unwise questions.

i did not report that 1st post of yours until the 2nd, you have been warned

reported, again

Buddhism and Hinduism there some similarities there exist differences between the two religions. does hinduism come from buddhims or vice versa?

sorry but ur 6 realms is no more.
all pwned by narutah.

since buddism in china is just a branch of the original ones so the teaching has been modified..

are you asking about God of Fortune?

Already answered.

you live off your bad karma. until you can no longer generate karma by cultivation of your consciousness, which takes years.
how to cultivate? you meditate and dont generate anymore bad karma.

why ask u, r u a monk?

im just saying mang...im pure buddhist i dun rike reporting ppl ...peace...

you have to ask the goverment about this. they mislabel it and it stuck in the forms for years.

Why did you report my 2nd? You made a wrong assumption that group thread dont beat trolls, i countered it with facts.

yeezai also wants it to be a group thread, but you're adamant against it.

Go and report all you want. This thread will go down. Its still against rules

it depend...some Thai monk subscribe to Chinese buddhism...

so really depend...

Sri Lanka monk can eat meat....

we eat to survive

thats the basis of life, we do not eat based on desire to eat for its taste

offerings were taken in by the Buddha on his daily alms

sometimes the food he got were meat, fyi, the origins of being vegetarian was introduced by his diciples

(working on something atm, do look up on the origins of vegetarian in Buddhism before blatantly accusing thank you)

Friend,

The abhidhamma says there are 31 realms in this world system, but may differ in other universes, but they will have namely

1. Sensual desire realms
2. Fine Material Realms
3. Immaterial Realms

The Mahayana reclassify this to 6.
The Theravada normally will quote the realms in a more technically way, such as
1. Apayalokas ( the four lowest states)
2. Sugati (happy state of Humans and the devalokas - heavens)
3. Brahmalokas (Fine Material and Immaterial states)

It's just the way different types of tradition re-classify these 31 realms. (for ease to remember)

Reopened.

Please, no more arguments, debates about Buddhism compared to other religions, trolling, etc.

That Report button is looking rather enticing now.

my question is related to Buddhism saying its not religion which I do not agree. Its not state of universe question.

I thought Buddhist believe in the Re-born concept... so wouldn't that mean this concept is also an afterlife - which is ANOTHER LIFE again? or the afterlife being having reached Nirvana?
