what is the example of original quote by buddha, then?

“Now, Kalamas, don’t go by reports, by legends, by traditions, by scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by analogies, by agreement through pondering views, by probability, or by the thought, ‘This contemplative is our teacher.’ When you know for yourselves that, ‘These qualities are skillful; these qualities are blameless; these qualities are praised by the wise; these qualities, when adopted & carried out, lead to welfare & to happiness’ — then you should enter & remain in them.”

Okay, thanks Cap. I appriciate your time to link me up. However, I noticed that most of the people in the comment section react hostile toward Hinduism. And I assuming that they think Hinduism trying to obfuscate the teaching of Buddhism.

Why they reacted in such manner?
 
Well, if anything goes.


My generally weirder sexual fantasies are bothering me today. Some strange situations recently have felt like the 'love' is winking out of my life in some ways and when that happens and I don't feel love towards girls especially a kind of soulless way of looking at them starts to bother me.


I hope for the politics to improve so that the wrongdoers like... everywhere can start to feel some heat. If not I'm hoping at least spirits will guide things positively for me. Or I just recognise they already have.

Both Vedas and Buddha's teachings really point to the same truth. If we were to represent this world of duality as a binary system then Buddha's teachings have a starting point 0 for explanation and Vedas explain things from the starting point 1. But in reality, the truth is neither 0 nor 1 and is both 0 and 1 simultaneously. In other words, the truth is not dual and as such, it is inexplicable and incomprehensible by the mind.

What did zero say to 3.14? You’ve just been Pi’d!

What did 3.14 say to zero? Yeah but you’ve been pied!

“There is no zero in the first 31 digits of Pi”

Urban Dictionary: Pied
1. The act of ignoring someone when they are talking to you
2. Not returning a high five
Wow that guy totally pied you!
