| Sep 19, 2017 at 12:10 | comment | added | Kauvasara | I couldnt agree with you more here. The Isha Upanishad says at the very beginning RENOUNCE! That is the absolute oldest of religious doctrine in the history of our species tells us to forego attachment to material things. Shakyamuni Buddha recognized the need to part with materiality during his ascetic period. The mind cannot serve two masters as such. | |

| Sep 19, 2017 at 5:37 | comment | added | Mishu 米殊 | echo the alerting of unethical practices in corporate world. yet Apple the CEOs also other big Corps are not Buddhists. if saying Steve Job a Buddhist, it's more ludicrous than saying Superman Christopher Reeve indeed a super-human. one of the root problems of these un-checked unethical practices is they negated Karma and Rebirth, or they never heard about it. if death is the end of everything why not just have the maximum of what one capable? Capitalism is bred and groomed by Christianity, on one life then hell/heaven. -- Buddhism without Karma/Rebirth can do more evil than Christian faith. | |
| Sep 19, 2017 at 5:22 | comment | added | esh | This is true. There are many examples. And also as you can see in life, you have to make many trade offs. But that does not exactly mean we cannot pursue matters as we see fit. I may be a Buddhist but I will do what’s needed about a situation at my workplace for example. | |
