Detach fantasy from Dhamma for survival of Buddhism – By K K S Perera Nathasha: Annoying though; Thought-Provoking Source : dailymirror It’s difficult to disentangle religious hard truths from myth, or truth from lies.We have a tendency to “shoot the messenger,” –don’t be angry with the person who makes disrespectful expressions intended to offend or hurt you; instead look  for the obscured message in it.

The search for the Buddha’s toothbrush By Bhante S. Dhammika of Australia We usually think of the Buddha’s Dhamma as being “deep, difficult to see, accessible to the wise, and going against the stream” and with good reason. The Buddha himself described his Dhamma like this. Further, when we examine it we see that it deals with some of the most fundamental questions of life and destiny in terms as subtle and as comprehensive as any modern philosopher or psychologist.
