Buddhism, against having fun.

RE: Buddhism, against having fun.
ever scrolled down to the end of the page when reading a wiki page.

Or managed to read the (usualy) last 20-50 pages of a scientific study.

something called SOURCES

look it up.



not that it matters.
Cause I just think your being ignorant of whatever might not let your worldviews shine in a bright light.

Considering I am a long time Wikipedia editor, I think I know how it works.

"A Karma by any other name would smell..."

From the Wikipedia article, on the Twelve Nidanas:

"The nikayas themselves do not give a systematic explanation of the nidana series. As an expository device,
the commentarial tradition presented the factors as a linear sequence spanning over three lives, thus shifting
the theme from a single conception (and birth) to a sequence of "incarnations" (roughly speaking)."

Moreover, it notes that, "According to Schumann the Nidanas are a later synthesis of Buddhist teachings, meant to make them more comprehensible. Comparison with the five skhandhas shows that the chain contains logical inconsistencies, which can be explained when the chain is considered to be a later elaboration." An examination of any decent description of Nidana and Pratītyasamutpāda will indicate that the causal chain extends across lifetimes into future lives. How is it that this is true and yet it is also true that this cause and effect doesn't extend into the past? Quite simply, it isn't. It's just Karma with a unique spin on the metaphysics.

I don't think he's capable of following his own train of thought and/or has a very short term memory.
