    I personally do not subscribe to the rebirth/karma aspect but if it brings you benefit by all means, as the Buddha said, embrace it. Monk Diet: No food after 12 noon, great way to kill the appetite and control weight. Good video…

  14. Laura65177 says:

    @mRwhite298 I feel sorry for you, you were probably raised to believe this nonesense weren’t you and you never were able to escape it as you are so heavily brain washed by your local church. Open your eyes. Buddhism has no god. it has guides to make you a better more understanding human to live in harmony with this earth and this life. You obviously need a lot of guidance… Christianity has made you a sick person.

  15. Laura65177 says:

    @mRwhite298 I have read the entire bible – in full and was gobsmacked at the type of things they try to make Christians believe like burning in hell.. the 4 of the 10 “rueles” are all about not leaving the religion. How insecure a God do you have? I love how all Christians say read the new testimate and ignore their disgusting first testimate.. not that the new one is much better, all about hate, a lot of hate. nothing about love its al about control and power.
