The Buddha's Attitude Toward Authority, Ritual, and Moot Points

The Buddha's pragmatic concern to relieve suffering and his psychological emphasis on self- transformation made him pointedly critical of certain aspects of religion, including blind reliance on authority, belief in the efficacy of ritual and windy debate about unanswerable questions.

The Second Coming.....

......third, forth or 5th.......

In the late middle of the 20th century,

Christian Time,

there was a happening.

Something quite real and even more misunderstood.

The world over a new spirituality was being born, 

a worldwide Communion of  Peace.

Seeds were planted; 

seeds which would lead, eventually and inevitably to "The 9 Holy Ideas,"

  

all of which lead to Holy Unity,

These Ideas are:

Holy Love, Perfection, Will, Harmony, Origin, Omniscience, Strength, Wisdom, and Truth.

If we can understand just one of these ideas, we will know reality and Holy Unity.

We will touch the face of God and know ourselves.

Jesus Saves.......

Jesus Saves, 

or

so it says on that bumper sticker,

on a back road in South Georgia.

Wonder what He saves, said I, to myself.

Do you believe that Jesus died for your sins, asked a brother of his sister, 

concerned for her soul, 

I imagine was he.

Is that what he said he was doing, asked she.

Well yes, answered the concerned one.

Well, then, I guess that's what he did, 

but it changes nothing really, said she.

If Jesus saves, what does he save, from what does he save it, and why?

I have my own answers to those questions.
