When we chant, what should we be thinking about? Thanks ~Violet]]>Sun, 05 Jan 2020 01:23:13 GMThttps://www.buddhabodhi.org/discussions/question-about-wordsI read the section about "No Words." If words are not important, why should we chant? ~Jasmine

And is there a recommended amount of time to meditate to get the most effect?  ~Lily]]>Mon, 09 Dec 2019 22:33:28 GMThttps://www.buddhabodhi.org/discussions/right-understandingThe Buddha teaches; "When you know of yourselves these things are moral, these things are blameless, when performed and undertaken, conduce to well being and happiness then you live and act accordingly." So I was wondering, is it possible to know yourself? How does Buddhism help with the immensity of knowing yourself?  ~Lily]]>Thu, 05 Dec 2019 02:20:36 GMThttps://www.buddhabodhi.org/discussions/path-to-nirvana-questionAfter reading the Buddha sayings about the blind man questioning the existence of color, I started thinking if everyone's experiences are so different, does that mean everyone has their own path to Nirvana?   ~Lily]]>Fri, 29 Nov 2019 13:29:46 GMThttps://www.buddhabodhi.org/discussions/question-about-karmaI am confused about Karma and souls. If souls do not exist and everything is an illusion, why does karma exist? Isn't this a conflict? ~Steffy]]>Sun, 24 Nov 2019 18:01:19 GMThttps://www.buddhabodhi.org/discussions/no-self-questionI am a little confused about the concept of "No Self". Are you saying that because there are many selves therefore we have none? And can you also explain the quotation at the end. Thank you ~Lily]]>Sun, 17 Nov 2019 00:42:19 GMThttps://www.buddhabodhi.org/discussions/cravings-questionCan one still achieve enlightenment and still have cravings for temporary pleasures while still wanting to help others? ~Lily]]>Wed, 13 Nov 2019 18:51:26 GMThttps://www.buddhabodhi.org/discussions/meditationI know we are supposed to meditate as part of Buddhist practice, but I am having trouble meditating. I find it very hard to clear my head of all thoughts like the books say. Do you have any advice?     ~Sujin]]>Fri, 08 Nov 2019 03:12:28 GMThttps://www.buddhabodhi.org/discussions/karma-questionDo animals have karma?    ~Sujin]]>
