Australia's Buddhism
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!

The blog has comments on
Buddhism,
philosophy, politics and other thoughts from Graeme Lyall.
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.
