well, i have other priorities in life also, like buying a car and maintaining it. It's really troublesome not to have my own car... My dad will find 1001 reasons not to let me drive his car...

I can't use up all my savings cos I need to use it for something else in the future.. who knows... getting married, maybe?

please pardon my shallow technical knowledge... i'm still learning.

albnok? that name sounds familiar to me...

i think many years ago in another forum (not LYN) during my college days there's also a guy called albnok also quite active in photography also...

imagine my dad explaining to me what aperture/ shutter speed/ film sensitivity and ISO, depth-of-field, UV filters, chemicals to develop pictars when I was 11.. I was like...

that was around 2003-2004.

My dua sen,

Buddha is formless.

I don't know how to explain it but all its teaching is like a recurring theme for many ages. What used to happen in the past, is the same today, and maybe in the future. Like a cycle. Only different way of how it happens.

The idea of time is just something relative, like an illusion or dream that we will wake up from once we achieved enlightenment. It happens all the time. Like what goonie says, it doesn't happen suddenly, and there is no concept of timeline in Buddhism.

Sometimes, I try to seek peace through Buddhist teachings. It's very deep, which always intrigue me to seek deeper understanding...I only get what it means when something in my life happened, and it just hit right on my head...

Maybe I don't even know what I'm talking about...

All this being-thingy makes me think of JRPG only...

If you play FFX, there are some hidden elements that Squaresoft is trying to relate to Buddhist teaching as part of their storytelling... from their literature point-of-view.

No need to be reborn, hence no more suffering anymore.

To be reborn means to have suffering again. So, dying is not an option.

this is the one that always puzzles me, and I'm always curious to know it... One day I really need to go a temple or something and need a monk or someone to explain this in layman's term.

Whenever you are reborn, it's like your life is rebooted and you don't even know what the heck have you done in the past lives.... so it's like for so many cumulative rebirth in so many individuals and for every lives need to accumulate good karma to finally achieve the ultimate state - the Enlightenment...:

exactly, it's like so many million lives ago, they accumulate so many good karma, then suddenly when it reach your life, you just screw it up without even knowing it and that's it.. dayumm!!

ok i take back my words based on goonie's explanation.
