Just a note. There is no such thing as "joining buddhism". It is not a club membership where one may join and leaves. Thats as stupid as learning maths and say that you're joining mathematics, and when u suck horribly at it...u want to leave mathematics. What u learned stay with you, having learned that 1 + 1 = 2, no matter what you label yourself, 1 + 1 will always = 2. That is good enough. Unless you're stupid to think that by "leaving" mathematics 1+1 stops being 2.

the term 'supernatural' only applies to those who are uninitiated, to the ones who know....they are 'natural' elements of how things are.

And yes, all endeavours need some form of faith to begin. You dont know how to drive. I teach u how to drive. You will need faith to know that u may be able to drive after learning from me.

Thats right. Everybody knows "studying hard" is the way to get good grades. Not many are able (or know how) to do that. Whining is the next option.

for a person is who blind since birth...and only ever communicate with other blind-since-birth people, vision would be supernatural.

all buddhist practise are based on this principle, that one can actually experience it for themselves (after some training).

you're too dense to understand that something is only supernatural to you because it is unknown to you. and according to you something unknown cannot be possible, thus when something unknown is taught by buddhism...it tarnish the image of the entire teaching. bodoh kan?
driving is a natural thing to those who know how to drive. just like supernatural experiences are indeed natural to those who know about them.
geeez dude....can u please dont polute a good thread with more dumbass questions?

Now...if we could ignore spikemarlene and his stupid gang of naysayers for a while...i would like to learn a little about dreamer101's approach to zen buddhism and compare it with the more traditional theravada buddhism practised locally.

what nonsense is this? i already explained to you...but its not my fault you're too densed to understand. and again u say i didnt explain...here have a facepalm.
wookey... swoosh
no one ask u to believe also, mr troll. You've demonstrated your imbecility for all to see if u cant understand a simple anoalogy : something is only supoernatural to those who dont know, to those who does, its natural. By the way we're not interested in spiritual unicorns in a buddhist thread. Show some class...and get lost.

PS:threads always turn stupid wherever spikemarlene start participating. thats supernatural right there..
