thanks for any and all assistance provided.]]> Sat, 03 Mar 2007 02:37:18 -0600 For starters, Buddha talks about entering nirvana and leaving the cycle of life and death. He also mentions that our strongest desires get passed on through reincarnation. Now, if to enter nirvana is to abandon all desires, then nothing would remain of you, and entering nirvana merely ends the cycle of life and death....does this mean nirvana is infinite death? This is a hard concept for me to wrap my head around because as a Christian i was taught that all life is infinite and no matter what you live forever, and heaven is just the better of two places to live forever in. Its difficult for me to want to pursue something where the ultimate result is permanent death. Am i totally wrong in my assumptions?
Also, I know Buddha avoided questions like these choosing instead "Noble Silence" but does the Buddhist community take any sort of stand as far as creation? As far as i understand Buddhists in general do not believe in a God. ( i emphasize the capital G because i know some Buddhists see buddha as a savior rather than a teacher , also understand there are at least 2 major sects in buddhism and that there may be multiple or conflicting answers to this question.)
I would appreciate any kind of feed back that anyone can give on this matter. Thanks for your help.]]> Tue, 06 Feb 2007 00:29:28 -0600 Wed, 31 Jan 2007 19:02:06 -0600

If this is even remotely true, and even if it is only marginally helpful to cancer patients...wouldn't you think this would be a big deal?


Why is the FDA shutting down websites and stores that sell apricot seeds as an alternative method for cancer treatment?]]> Sat, 20 Jan 2007 20:42:02 -0600
