A Contribution to the Buddhist Community by Graeme Lyall

There is no such thing as a "Human Being" - there is only a "Human Becoming"

Everything is subject to change

Killing in the name of a religion is NOT A RELIGIOUS ACT - It carries serious Karmic consequences.

Throughout its history of more than 2500 years, not one drop of blood has been spilt in propagating Buddhism.

Buddhism does not have terrorists but it does have Theravadins.

The Weapons of Mass Destruction are Greed, Anger and a Deluded Mind - Find them and Destroy them Now!

Living in a Grateful World ---
Be grateful to those who have hurt or harmed you, for they have enforced your determination -

Be grateful to those who have deceived you, for they have deepened your insight. -

Be grateful to those who have hit you, for they have reduced your karmic obstacles. -

Be grateful to those who have abandoned you, for they have taught you to be independent. -

Be grateful to those who have made you stumble, for they have strengthened your ability. -

Be grateful to those who have denounced you, for they have increased your wisdom and concentration. ---

Be grateful to those who have made you firm and resolute and helped in your achievement

The Words Of Albert Einstein

The individual feels the nothingness of human desires and aims and the sublimity and marvellous order which reveal themselves both in nature and in the world of thought. He looks upon individual existence as a sort of prison and wants to experience the universe as a single significant whole, the beginnings of cosmic religious feeling already appear in early stages of development - e.g. in many of the Psalms of David and in some of the Prophets.  
 
Buddhism, as we have learnt from the wonderful writings of Schopenhauer especially, contains much stronger elements of it. The religion of the future will he a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogmas and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should he based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual and a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism.
One of Einstein's great insights was to realize that matter and energy are really different forms of the same thing. Matter can be turned into energy, and energy into matter.
  E= mc2
E=energy   m=mass  c=speed of light
The big bang was when energy became matter.
The Heart Sutra says "Form is emptiness and emptiness is form"
Think about this in the light of Einstein's Theory of Relativity
