Buddhism, the real truth that even the science accepts...

Hello scheng1...How was your day.

Well today I had a long discussion about this stuff. And had been doing some sort of research here and there came through number of evidence that the every teaching of Lord Buddha was exact...

Yes you are right, that coming at this age, i.e after 2600 years of birth of Lord Buddha, much of the philosophy has been changed. Every things changes with time. But the truth doesn't...

Fasting was not the reason that Lord Buddha attained enlightenment. After he grew very very thin, he had realized that making our body that bad and painful is not the way to enlightenment. And that's why he took the food again after 6 years as the history says.

Well the evils is the symbol of bad people. At that time, there were some of the people trying to end the journey to Buddha to knowledge. And that's why such evil people tried to threaten him. Then devil was the symbol of the distraction of the mind. To reach the state of enlightenment, one has to be able to remove all the desires, every single desires. And such desires tend to pull us away and away from the actual truth. Not only devil, some conspiracy like making a beautiful girl dance in front of the lord Buddha while meditation was done. But he was dedicated to what he had to do and didn't loose himself in such physical temptations that are all mortal and finally the devils lost with the Buddha's determination and instead respected lord Buddha and went on....

He had even said that don't respect him as the god in life. Only follow the path of his teachings. But people still respect and remember him because he is the one who must be credited for lightening the world.

For me, there is no the extra ordinary super powerful omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient god. God are the one who are enlightened. And you can be enlightened and I can be enlightened if we really follow the paths of lord Buddha with determinism. Now it has been very very difficult to accept that in the past with the development of materialism. We are so attached to the virtual world now.

Today I was reading this article about Buddhism http://www.thebigview.com/buddhism/emptiness.html Pretty tough to understand.
And check out this video of some scientific research http://www.youtube.com/wa...

Hi Nzal, thanks for doing all the research.
Even in Singapore, the Buddhism and Taosism have merged to such an extent that certain Taoist practices are used in worshipping of Buddha.
And the Chinese culture has incorporated both the Taoist deities and Buddha teaching into one single culture. Plus the fact that there are many sects among the Buddhism here, we have influence from Thailand, China, Taiwan and Tibet. There are differences in the way of worship, which to me, is very interesting.

In Nepal too its the same. During the birth time of Lord Buddha, in the states that belongs to Nepal now, people were highly superstitious. And then Siddhartha Gautam(Lord Buddha) came. He tried to remove the superstitions by finding out the facts.
The major religion in Nepal is Hinduism and then Buddhism. Mostly are Hindus and Buddhists. But it seems to be mixed nowadays. Every Hindu even worship Lord Buddha. And now, like other gods of Hinduism, Lord Buddha is also the one. We can see the image of Lord Buddha in numerous Hindu temple areas.
People in Nepal really have religious tolerance. People with various religions are living here together. And this tends to mix the features of religions sometimes.
And so, there in singapore too, that may be the same case, isn't it.

Hi Nzal, actually evlovement of religion is ongoing, and very interesting. Without this evolvement of religion, we will still pray the ancient method, where human sacrifices are needed to appease God.
Without evolvement of religion, we will not have Buddhism today.
A side issue, thanks for making comment at AC. To answer your question about earnings, mylot is a monthly $10. As to the amount in AC, you can calculate by the page view payment of $1.50 per 1,000 page views.
Articles earn more, since 2 pages means 2 page views, and comment add an extra page view (provided the advertisement loaded before the viewer closes the window).
I think if you write about customs in Nepal, you can attract a lot of page views. Do read and add favorites in AC.
There are some AC writers who join later than me, and write lesser than me, yet have much more page views, because they have a lot of favorites, and fans.

Hello Scheng,Yes, that is very interesting that the religions keep on evolving. With time, the actual meaning of the religion changes, isn't it.

Yes, there are lots of culture in Nepal to write. I don't know in detail about most of the culture. I will have to search here and there for the actual informations, about how it started. We can rarely find the written facts or written stories about them. But still I can write what I know. Okay, I will give it a try and will write on.

I don't know about Associated Content more. Since few days I have focused on my blog about the nepali songs and adding content over them. But I am frustrated with it. I have learn to filter ads properly. The ads I get are so cheap and it is very difficult to get a click and even the clicks are not more valuable. I am earning about one 2 or 3 cents per click. I think I have to create new blog if I want to earn more. But I also love my chord blog because its getting in first page in google hehe....

Thanks for the suggestions. I have a book about festivals here for reference. I will summarize them and write it....

Happy mylotting...

What do you think will be better scheng, writing for the blog or writing for the associated content?

Hi Nzal, you can write for both. You can post at Associated Content, and reference to your blog. You can write a shorter version for Associated Content, and highlight that more information is found in your blog. Actually as international writers, we are not eligible for upfront, so our articles can appear elsewhere, you can even consider repost the exact article in Bukisa (choose non-syndicate option, else everyone will copy your article), to earn page views.
If you have made necessary amendments, both will appear as original in Google.
I think that is a better way to make money from both sides. Since you will create awareness for your blog, and keep on leaving comments and adding favorites in AC, you will have a huge fan club, and generate more page views.
AC is a lot of hard work for the first few months, but the effort is worthwhile, when you see yourself climbing up the Clout level.
I think you should do a Adword search before starting a new blog. Apparently "trekking nepal" is a much popular keyword than "nepal culture". Most people travel to nepal for trekking.
I think you can capitalize on the "trekking nepal", to give the insider stories and tips to travellers. And make very long post, keep on using "trekking in nepal".

Thanks for the explanation. I think I should do like you. Now after this post I will try to post a new article there on Associated Content, whatever the topic may me. Lets see how much can I reach my determination. Actually, I get messed up and tend to do nothing else when I think about mylot, AC and blogging. I think I will take time to get used to Associated Content.
Trekking in Nepal is really a nice topic. Let me do some further research for that.
And other thing, does associated contented accept the page views from easyhits or it is against terms and conditions?
Hey, are you completely dependent on writing? You seem to be tooooooo much interested about writing?

Hi Nzal, AC does not accept artificial traffic. They are very strict about this. What you can do is to add comment on the articles written by others, add them as fans, then they will add comment to your article.
Supposing that your article is 2 pages long. One comment adds an extra page view, since the page refreshes, and the advertisement loads another time. Promote your article internally before the search engine indexed your articles.
I do like writing, but not academic writing. Those 3,000 words courseworks are the worst kind of writing.

Thanks for the info. That means traffic sources are not of use any where...It is just nice for advertisement sometimes, but who cares people keep clicking on and on without seeing a word...
Well yesterday I posted a poem there, and now waiting for getting validated...
And yes writing articles and academic writing is very much different isn't it....
Good luck for your further writing...happy mylotting...

Hi Nzal, traffic exchange is useful, but not on established site like AC, I used it to increase the artificial traffic to my storefront in lulu.com.
Actually I should have written more ebooks or stories in lulu.com before channelling the traffic there, but too lazy to write.
It is very hard to promote the storefront, since I do not want to flood the storefront with 1,000 words article to promote the ebooks. And I wrote fiction, which is impossible to have keywords.

I hope you got what I meant to say with this thread already...
Enjoy you life...Spread love...

Hello tulipstrader!!!

Well that is very true that coming up from far from that age, i.e about 2600 years, every thing will surely get changes in them. Not only in Buddhism, but also in other religion too. Much thing changed with time.

The path shown by the Lord Buddha is the real challenging one and the path that is unimaginable to the people like you and me sitting in front of the computer and any other materials. Materialism has made the people really attached with this virtual world.

And still there are some meditation centers, that focus on the path of Buddha. The most interesting thing is that the science and his teachings are same. And in fact, Albert Einstein learned many things from his philosophy in his life and brought up some theories that became very tough to understand for most of the scientists too.

May be talking about god would have really brought unnecessary discussions and that was sure. That's why he may preferred not to answer it. He had said, not to worship him as the god, but to follow his path with determinism. And with this it doesn't matter whatever religion we are, still we should try to follow his teachings. The great thing is that the basic teachings like living a noble life is inspired by all the religions.

But the ultimate truth was the truth he discovered. The thing he discovered can be understood literally, even difficult to understand literally sometimes, but it can be only felt when we get it. i.e. Nirvana...and the concept of ultimate truth, the truth of emptiness.

Why was the spreading of love necessary. Because our body can radiate. Our body is the form of energy and it can radiate as per we reflect. Now the reflecting of good thing or the bad thing that is upon us. That's why the reflecting of love is very very important for all the creatures. Look scientifically how logical that was. This was said in the time, when there was not the concept of wave, energy at all.
