Yes , people should entertain themselves as well as the others by showing their bravery without harming anyone. (Boxing Wrestling is OK...cos both parties willing to fight but harming animals cannot be accepted in that way). Good human beings who has a pinch of sense of the others pain , never think about harming others.
Not to the ordinary human beings but to the humans who has opened their wisdom to look at the world through a liberated mind see the world with full of suffering and sorrow. Their insight cannot be drowned or charmed by the attractive forms of the nature which are not permanent. Cos through their insight they see the emptiness in everything.
Could this one true god only do , come to the earth in human form using his super almighty powers ? Is this the only way that God knows to use his own almighty power. Jesus came to the earth and live in a limited area serving the human kind being a very noble person. I also accept most of his teachings. So giving his service to the limited community do you think that god has used his almighty powers in wise way..? Did you think that he has done the justice to the whole man kind ? What happened to the humans tribes living in jungles like early Aborigines, Mohicans , Cannibals in jungles etc ? Who did them justice ?
Tangible answer. This kind of answer can be seen in Buddhist teaching too.
" Those who are mindful do not die. It does not mean that they do not grow old or die. The mindful develop mindful signs (i.e., cultivate Insight Development Practice); they soon realize Magga-Phala (i.e., Nibbana) and are no longer subject to rebirths. Therefore, whether they are, in fact, alive or dead, they are considered not to die.
those who are not mindful are like the dead; because they never think of giving in charity, or keeping the moral precepts, etc., and in the case of bhikkhus, because they do not cultivate Tranquillity and Insight Development Practice."
Well...you are very close to something Dadude62. That is this world has the characteristic of "Duality". So if you want to overcome this duality definitely you must have a third dimension. That is what we called the middle path the third dimension of looking at the world. Good/Bad ---> find out the thing beyond this good and bad ( neutralize, that is neither good nor bad) dark/light --> find out the thing beyond this dark and light. (neutralize, that neither dark nor light ) believe/disbelieve (neither belief nor disbelief ) up/down (neither up nor down ) top/bottom ( neither top nor bottom )........like wise
A thing cannot be stable but infinite like cosmos. Cosmos also unstable. And the power which is powering the machine should be depend on something else to get generated the power. All these things are interconnected in this cosmos.
If so , having such a finite human mind , how could you thing on such an infinite thing exists on this universe ? Is it possible according to your own words ?
See how the God has created us with an infinite mind. Use it to understand him by liberating your mind only if you want to realize the God.
ok...you live without trying to understand him. Just believe on him cos something is better than nothing though it doesn't make you any change to yourself.
[ He was also known for fighting bulls bare-handed. In his lifetime, he battled 52 bulls, three of which were purportedly killed instantly with one strike, earning him the nickname of "Godhand". Many martial artists believe that the bulls he beat were at a disadvantage, because they were tamed and tied with nose rings and rope when Mas Oyama fought them. ]
that is why I say "The intention of a hero is more important than his deed "
