Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 Q: How did the mind come about?<br>DL: The source of mind is nature. The word that been used for existence is 'interdependent arising'. Talking of God, who created God? There is no point arguing. Dharmakeerti and Shantideva debate the existence of God and reach the conclusion that if we believe in a benevolent creator, how do we explain suffering? I remember a funny incident. In Tibetan drama, criticism is allowed and even the Buddha is not spared. There was this man acting on-stage and he was saying that he did not believe in God. If God made us, he said, instead of putting both the eyes in the front, one should be at the back! We would have been more efficient that way. Jokes apart, the idea is not to disrespect any religion but to analyze the nature of reality. <br><br>HariAum!<br>Devan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 Each part of the human body is so designed to live a perfect living. In a righteous world, a person does not need an eye on the back side. Because HE WILL KNOW what is behind with his senses.<br>Because there are people who abuse using each part, (for example, mouth is not meant for smoking) it doesn't mean there was no designer or the designer has made a mistake.
