    spider_dude was just made up by withcheese and samsamsamsam after they realised just the 2 of them flirting would make people confused about there sexuality. this is also the reason GEP was invented so they could pretend they were comfortable with themselves
    I survived the great winter 03/04 depression

    thedave please do not talk about gep like you know what it&#39;s about. for instance last night when you tried to cyber with me on msn, you put the side burns and the elvis quiff on, you even went as far as to give me the elvis lip thingy. i mean come on, there is a lot more to gep than just looking like him. gep comes from the energy people have, and from the soul. i hope i have not hurted your soul, i am only human or am i

    I used to think everything including human are not necessary be in the world and I can find the answer in buddhism(it&#39;s called emptiness), it is far more complicated. there are just a few people can fully understand buddhism in history, buddha is the one, he&#39;s not god, he&#39;s just the creator of buddhism(the supreme science), he&#39;s the first person fully understand the secret about everything and teach people about it. universe in buddhism is just a part of the budda world, it&#39;s a material world, and there is a world which can not be seen by human, only buddha can see it. You can understand buddhism but can not fully understand unless you have the chance, the chance is similar or less than the chance to become Einstein or Newton since it&#39;s highest level science.But you do not need to be a buddha, you can just learn things from buddhism. Some people pray every day, they read bible,but some of them die when they are praying ,however, god didn&#39;t help them, buddhism also explains this,so buddhism is the way to go.
    Buddhist practisioners have discovered amazing things about the nature of the universe and humans e.g. buddhist scriptures from 2000bc mention that the world consists of tiny particles (atoms). There is growing communication between the world of science and buddhist practistioners. The Dali Lama was recently included in discussions in the newscientist about the nature of the mind: His view was that scientists try to understand the brain and the mind as a combined phenomomena, however he states that the mind is something completely seperate from the brain. So buddhism does have an element of science. When you say that Buddhism is a supreme science you must qualify that it is the science of the mind, which is focused on achieving enlightenment.

    PS - Correct spelling - Buddha.

    In my opinion.....
    You are too ignorant to believe in anything cool for the right reasons...

    There&#39;s no &#39;I&#39; in &#39;team&#39;. But then there&#39;s no &#39;I&#39; in &#39;useless smug colleague&#39;, either.
    And there&#39;s four in &#39;platitude-quoting idiot&#39;. Go figure.

    I said it&#39;s supreme science because once you understand buddhism like buddha, you will discover the nature of the universe or the world can&#39;t be perceived by human eyes, for example, the smallest particle discovered by human is atom or whatever, but is it the smallest particle? definitely not, what is the smallest then? I don&#39;t think any equipment can detect them. but do you think there must be something smaller and smaller? so in theory, the smallest thing is nothing, but how can nothing constitutes something like human? even it&#39;s true, can you see the "nothing"? only buddha can perceive "nothing", probably by their minds not their eyes. another example, I&#39;ve been thinking what is emotion, is it some materials?seems not, is it power like lights? I don&#39;t know. I&#39;m in a psychology class,it&#39;s garbage, I couldn&#39;t learn anything from it, it can&#39;t even explain what emotion is. How many paitents are cured with the help of psychologists, why there are so many people commit suicide then? it&#39;s developing, but there must be something it can never explain.
    have you seen a buddha(thanks for the correction) with psycholgoical problem?if every human understand buddhism, psychology should not be created.Yes, buddhism is talking about mind,but once you master it, don&#39;t you think science is just like primitive people making stone tools? it&#39;s just becoming better nothing else.
    like learning in math class, if you master calculus, do you need to learn basic math like addtition? similarly, if you master the nature the world through your mind, do you need to learn the speed of light?

    I guess there must be a process.

    WTF??? It&#39;s a philosophy &#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;


    Yes, it&#39;s not a "faith" practice (Theravardic buddhism anyway) in that you do experience the effects first hand rather than play chinese whispers but it&#39;s still not exactly empirical is it??

    Yes - the Dali Lama has wrote a psychology piece and there are buddhists who have written scientific pieces...........if you found out your dentist was a buddhist would this thread be called "Buddhism Is Dentistry Not Religion"?



    BTW - this isn&#39;t a shot at Buddhism - I myself practice it and was taught by monks in Thailand who themselves referred to it as a philosophy.
