was Venerable Mahamoganalla the one who sent food to his mother in hell? didn't realised he died such a horrible death.

my question is, to those bandits who hurt him, will Kamma get back to them too? 

So if I get you correctly, good karmic seeds and bad ones (that one acquired throughout their lifetimes) will be in tact from since ages till now and will go on?

But to me that does not sound like removing it. More like preventing bad seeds to be planted.

A Brother once told the students in my University in a Dharma Talk that good karmic seeds act as a hook to the door that is going to slam against you (bad karmic seeds), hence preventing one from being slammed by the door (effect). Also he said that it'll all be there until one reached enlightenment.

Well perhaps it can be from a different perspective, but both do does make sense.

Some kamma are heavier, like committing matricide or patricide (killing parents), so the effect of this kamma may last a few lifetime like in the case of Ven Mahamoganalla.

Even good kamma that propels beings to the heavenly states (gods) will once day finish and they have to drop down to the human state or the evil destinies sooner or later.

Doing lots of good in this life will help us to be happy here and now, have a calm mind at death, and to reappear in good places after this life terminates.  It's like putting more good kamma in our pockets, so the probability of striking a good kamma is higher.

Oh that's new to me. I never knew Gods that ran out of good karmic deeds / seeds will drop down from their state.

Hmm Karmic stuff so wide.
What you said is in conjunction to the definition of impermanence I guess.

But personally the thought that the BAD karmic seeds will not disappear until reborn into Buddhahood kind of scares me to be honest

Theravada suttas (tipitaka). In the Sutta Pitaka it was mentioned that Sakka (king of the gods) paid buddha a visit when he got depressed knowing he was going to die soon as a deva.  There is also a story of a deva who panic after he saw his female playmates all disappear in front of him (apparently all took rebirth in Avici Hell after their kamma as gods finish).

The Abidhamma portion of the Tipitaka gave the lifespan of each gods, from a few million human years to a hundreds of thousands of Aeons (world cycles).

So the gods are not permanent, so warned by the Buddha.

LOL. what tradition are you from if I may ask?

LIke that you want call me nasty?? what i did?

hiaya, tell you to be careful don't cincai tell them .... we buddhists ok if christians want to practice buddhism (more than welcome), but they might have some conflict themselves one....  later the christian trolls will start to come in and disturb already.

taoism is a branch of buddhism?

why are u generalising?    hehehehhehe

dahlah tu...dah lah generalize buddhist

admit it la

so i no need sapu krim

Do you believe orthodoxity has its place in religion ?

I have looked at some of the tibetan buddhism, they are not that different from Theravada. Vipassana and Samatha meditation are found there, with minor adaptation.
All concepts break down in Jhanas and attainment of Nanas. So, whatever differences we have are all just in way of practice and in conceptual basis. But all these concepts break down later... so there isn't a difference at that point.

Try me.

yes chili is hot

if it aint hot i aint chili

need cream for that burnt butt of yours?

Transcendal buddhism (experience based) and intellectual buddhism (debates).

Got a difference. Many love debates.

Come on la... tell us, what u want?

so this is how buddhists treat ppl who wanna understand more on their religion la.. no wonder u guise cannot maju.

The problem here is, war was waged for wealth and resource. Thats the main objective. Religion was used to con people to join in, which would otherwise cause a backlash. Back then, there was no UN, or civility. Dont like your face, i'll kill you. No religion ever called for its members to kill and pillage for wealth and land. Its the opposite. But due to illiteracy among the peasants, it makes it easier for rich corrupt bureaucrats to con more people. Crusades started off as europes' defense to stop onslaught of islamic invaders, which later spiralled out of control for european kings to gain more control over land and resource and using religion conveniently to con more people, by saying that if you join in the war, your sins can be pardoned (which was false in the first place). The main motive here was never for religion.

Same with Islam. The conquest here isn't much to propagate. They have no issue propagating without war. It was waged for securing trade routes, land expansion, wealth, etc.

The reason why "fight the infidels in the name of buddha" is unheard of is because of the dilution of buddhism. There is no such thing as an infidel in buddhism due to that. Its an all-inclusive religion. If its all inclusive, everyone's a member. So it doesn't make sense to use buddhism to control people in cases of war. But people does use buddhism to earn money (fake monks begging for money, sales of amulets with carvings of monks etc) which is also based on the same reason why wars were waged : for resource.
No its not. Its being horny.

Just leave him to me. You guys just focus on buddhism and being kind to each other. Not worthy it to get your hands dirty. My hands are already dirty, so might as well
