ChiDragon Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) First you belittle LZ in two posts and then later in the same day use him as your poster child to support your ideas because 'it came out from another native'? That's quite good manipulation skills. What you fail to see is that you use the same ploy in the past: To say you have the singular correct way and everyone else is wrong (and that it is because the westerner's have it wrong). At least LZ has come around to modify what he means and answers questions asked of him. His admits his english is lacking but at least he is not trying to create two sides and then playing a game of pandering to both sides. Time yet again to call BS on what your doing on this site with your games. I think you have an emotional problem. You still don't know what is going on, do you....???

dawei Posted January 2, 2012 I think you have an emotional problem. You still don't know what is going on, do you....??? I see your games going on. Some of them you intentionally continue, like meaninglessly typing exclamation and question marks in triplicate; these are emotional markers for typing; these are not normal. You have been told more than once but want to continue this way of typing to set yourself apart. I know you like this kind of attention; You came here for it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dawei Posted January 3, 2012 Very interesting...!!! It was so relevant to the subject being discussed. I'm glad that you had found a flaw...... Yes... because another flaw in your M.O. is that you like the last word... so I knew you would be back to continue the idiotic manner of communicating. Hope your enjoying your attention. You've earned it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robaire Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) IMO ... meditation is simply stopping time to watch. it need only be 5 minutes. the only thing required is to be aware. if you're able to be silent and aware for 5 minutes, you have meditated. sure, you are free apply more techniques and make it more complex but as for definition it is simple. are you able to sit in one spot for 5 minutes? ..

I think that was called cultivation of the mind and your patience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted January 11, 2012 I think that was called cultivation of the mind and your patience. True, but I also call it meditation. "if you're able to be silent ..." and especially allow the mind to be silent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChiDragon Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) True, but I also call it meditation. "if you're able to be silent ..." and especially allow the mind to be silent. Meditation is only part of the cultivation of the mind. Cultivating the mind is, also, to find all the legitimate reasons to substantiate all the principles to avoid any confusion and free of any disturbance. So, the mind shall be cleared in the first place in order to be silenced. If the mind was perturbed, blurry, foggy, indistinct, or uncertain, then it needs more cultivation then meditation... Besides the logical reasoning, in addition, cultivation of the mind is to suppress one's temperamental nature to a state of tranquility.

Jetsun Posted January 15, 2012 People take a lot of time from their lives to try to figure life out while cats are just Yeah but humans have the ability for self reflection which cats don't have, which suggests to me there is a purpose for this. To "know thyself" is the aim of most genuine spiritual systems since the saying was enscribed on the Delphi temple and probably before, how to go about doing this is the issue. If you spend you life like a cat I don't know if you will ever know thyself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jetsun Posted January 15, 2012 But then we should ask ourself: Does it really matter? I think we need to continually work to know ourselves otherwise we stagnate which leads to suffering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dawei Posted January 15, 2012 But then we should ask ourself: Does it really matter? I agree. We pick our nose but not sure there is a great reason to ponder it... there would be too many things to suggest which have arisen in only man. So how does one prioritize which are to be focused on? Or just drop the idea to 'prioritize'... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We pick our nose but not sure there is a great reason to ponder it... there would be too many things to suggest which have arisen in only man. So how does one prioritize which are to be focused on? Or just drop the idea to 'prioritize'... Nice responses, both. You do know I can't supply any answer that would be valid for anyone except myself, right? I agree, we do need continually work our brain else it will die. Prioritize? Hum. I think I do a fairly good job at that in my life but then I don't feel that "my way" would be the best for others. There's really not a lot that really matters to me, but for those things that do, they matter a lot and I will always do my best whenever I am working at those things. I guess, in this case, things that matter, less is better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
