That is a notion which many Buddhists teach. I think it has something.
Of course one cannot manage daily business by that, but it would be worth to keep in mind. Death can happen every second, nobody knows.
In the past those thoughts made me sad or I got irritated deeply and walked away. Now I am getting fascinated. Notbody thinks that way. Or almost nobody. Which also is just another evidence that one group defines the other.
We are having too much time to think. Could be a problem for many ;-)
I really enjoy Buddhist teaching, to be honest. That religion fits me.
I totally agree with the fact that many people have too much time to think and that destroy them. Good thing, they just stop thinking when they realize that it is too hard to think lol
totally so. Some even say it is not a religion in the common sense, as Buddhism has no God or creator in its notion. It has highly interesting and profound philosophical and psychological teachings. I like how many referred to it and investigated the scripts in the original languages. Coming to us and giving us interpretations and insights. One can study Buddhism for decades.
This connection the Christians never made to me or vice versa. Though I am definitely do not having anything against Jesus, actually I like him very much as a role model, he would have been an excellent buddy to Siddhartha Gautama, I guess. They only lived about 500 years apart, if I remember correctly. :-)
