I'll put this up while i'm in the right frame of mind to post it, your views are wlecome.

FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS
The Four Noble Truths represent the core of
the teachings of the Buddha, and are as follows:

The First Noble Truth
Unsatisfactoriness and suffering exist and
are universally experienced.

The Second Noble Truth
Desire and attachment are the causes of
unsatisfactoriness and suffering.

The Third Noble Truth
There is an end to
unsatisfactoriness and suffering.

The Fourth Noble Truth
The end can be attained by
journeying on the Noble Eightfold Path.




NOBLE EIGHTFOLD PATH
Right Understanding
Right Thinking
Right Speech
Right Action
Right Livelihood
Right Effort
Right Mindfulness
Right Concentration

1. Right View

See things as they truly are without delusions or distortions
for all things change. Develop wisdom by knowing how things
work, knowing oneself and others.

2. Right Intention

Wholehearted resolution and dedication to overcoming the
dislocation of self-centered craving through the development
of loving kindness, empathy and compassion.

3. Right Speech

Abstinence from lies and deceptions, backbiting, idle
babble and abusive speech. Cultivate honesty and
truthfulness; practice speech that is kind and benevolent.
Let your words reflect your desire to help, not harm others.

4.Right Action

Practice self-less conduct that reflects the highest
statement of the life you want to live. Express conduct
that is peaceful, honest and pure showing compassion
for all beings.

5. Right Livelihood

Avoidance of work that causes suffering to others or that
makes a decent, virtuous life impossible. Do not engage
in any occupation that opposes or distracts one from the
path. Love and serve our world through your work.

6. Right Effort

Seek to make the balance between the exertion of following
the spiritual path and a moderate life that is not over-zealous.
Work to develop more wholesome mind states, while gently
striving to go deeper and live more fully.

7. Right Mindfulness

Through constant vigilance in thought, speech and action
seek to rid the mind of self-centered thoughts that separate
and replace them with those that bind all beings together.
Be aware of your thoughts, emotions, body and world as they
exist in the present moment. Your thoughts create your reality.

8. Right Concentration

Through the application of meditation and mental discipline seek
to extinguish the last flame of grasping consciousness and develop
an emptiness that has room to embrace and love all things.

Here's a good game for you: use the word 'Buddhism' in a sentence, and try not to make it about religion.

WTF!? A topic entitled 'Buddhism', one of the World's major religions, and I'm not allowed to talk about it? What is this, Pictionary?

I think this is more about enjoying life rather than enjoying death, but thanks for trying to turn it into another religious debate!

Are these the ones that can punch your heart out with their minds, or is that Eskimos? That's still too many rules though, I'd rather just exist, and let whatever happens after I die just happen. Looking forward to finding that out, actually. Not in a depressing way, just out of curiosity - like that film with Kevin Bacon and Julia Roberts and Keifer Sutherland. Will we 'enter the light', into eternal heaven (or hell, if you're Forest Fan - how can you be THAT tightly wound and enjoy something even as perfect as Heaven is meant to be?), or reincarnation with no memory of the process? Or do the atoms from our 'soul' dissapate into the cosmos for all eternity? Not existing in some form is a very difficult thing to imagine, and I don't think it's possible. Our bodes will die, but whatever makes us into us isn't a physical thing, and that has to go somewhere.

But yeah, Ninjas are awesome.

Which branch of Buddhism does this represent? Not the one that involves starving yourself to death in order to self-mummify, presumably.

Buddhists are cool. They all walk serenly through Bangcok.

I went to one of their temples. Lovely place.
