Buddha said isn't it wonderful,isn't it wonderful, evererthing is.....?

Question

PERFECT!
I say, that not only is everything PERFECT without exception, but what we normally think of as imperfect is in fact the perfect example of what we thought it was not. Therefore I am inclined to agree with the great man. DO YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE?

CANCER, DEATH, LOVE,ACCIDENTS,NATURAL DISASTERS, PIMPLES, DOG ****, ARE ALL PERFECT EXAMPLES OF WHAT YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE NOT.

Answer 1

so perfection is the acknowledgement of imperfection? Sound perfect to me.

Answer 2

Several things that I have read about His teachings, and some things the Dalai Lama said, made no sense to me when I read them but made sense to me later. This must be one of those things. When I heard the Dalai Lama say that being idealistic was the best way to live, I had serious doubts. How can ideals, which are mental constructructs that never become an actual part of physical reality, be anything more than just a guideline. And, should we focus on something so flimsy and expect it to help us improve the world? Now it makes sense to me, but I can't really put it into coherent words at this time.
Perfection itself is an ideal. Nothing will ever fulfill the idea of 'perfect' for all people all the time. Is this simply showing the limits of our perceptions?

Answer 3

I agree, on the exception that you think that when you are in a certain frame of mind.

If you go out, saying, look at the tree, how the leaves grow and fall off every year, and look how it does it perfectly every time, isn't it amazing. Then you will start to think like that.

Yet it is sad that a lot of people in this world will simply think about how the leaves make a mess of their garden when they fall off, or make too much shade when they are on the tree.

Perfection is everywhere we just have to think in a certain way to realise it. And even though some people wight say you shouldn't have to think in a certain way to see things, I kind of like it, it's bery comforting.

Answer 4

Well Buddhism is filled with many great values, but im afraid to say their is no real reincarnation, only a ressurection.

Buddhists usually take things very carefree, one reason is because they beleive whatever happens, they will be alive forever (in some form or another)

which IMO directly contradicts what the first written lie of Satan; "Ye shall no surely die" (Gen 3:4)

Answer 5

NOT AGREE,
If everything in the life is so perfect, how can an old woman at Lebanon cried for the death of her children?

Answer 6

I agree. Reminds me of the story of the Zen butcher. A man entered his shop and asked 'what is your best cut of meat?'
'They all are' replied the butcher'

An analogy of your point talks about the rocks on life's path really being diamonds when we look back at them. It's all about changing our own awareness of the world and of who we really are.

'There is nothing wrong with the world, including your dissatisfaction and attempts to change it.' - a loose paraphrase of another great man, can't remember who though!

Answer 7

I agree everything Gautama said I agree. Buddha in Indian means old and wise.

Answer 8

Funny thing reading that!

i totally agree with you! All is perfect

Answer 9

Is that so...
I've often thought myself that things were not what they were at all, you are what you aren't etc...it gets a bit complicated but makes some sort of sense if you think about it.
I guess I agree.

Answer 10

B*ll*cks! But I know where you're coming from Dude.

Life is what it is, true. Perfection is something else.

Be good; enjoy your moment.
