Buddhist scripture symbolic meanings

Question:
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20121230111641AA6enAi

Should Buddhist scriptures be interpreted by reading the symbolic meanings?

[Fake Genius] stated "Frankly, symbolism is Buddhism is limited and not indirectly. Symbolism is clearly stated as symbolism. So whenever you counter a word, unless stated by experts, you shouldn't think in any symbolic idea at all. Lotus - is the only symbol that's significantly important"
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ats4yD_4cN3HF5.DXxuQCxUhBgx.;_ylv=3?qid=20121229212212AAxU1i7

Let me reference some places where symbolism is used in Buddhism:

Dhammapada Verse 67 - Kassaka Vatthu - The Story of a Farmer:
The Buddha seeing the packet of money said to the Venerable Ananda, "Ananda, look at that very poisonous snake,"
Are snake/serpent, Ananda & Buddha symbols in Buddhism?

Also check Alagaddupama Sutta (MN 22): The Discourse on the Snake Simile

Sn 1.1 PTS: Sn 1-17 - Uraga Sutta: The Snake
http://www.buddhism.org/Sutras/Agama/Khuddhaka/1-uragavagga-e.htm
Is decayed snake skin a symbol?

Agama Sutras of Digha Nikaya - Karma (The Four Wives)
http://www.sinc.sunysb.edu/Clubs/buddhism/story/fourwives.html

Vessantara = Ves + antara = interpersonal

I can go on referencing symbols in Buddhist scriptures.
All terms, including letters (dha = holding, ra = stream, nna =ja=generate) are symbols.

Should we interpret Buddhist scriptures on face value (popular Buddhism) OR after processing the symbols and cross-checking for conflicts with the rest?

Popular Buddhist interpretation is conflicting with it's core and magical (fake).

@Fake Genius,
You might even see Buddhist flag with 5 colors, Dhamma wheel and Swastika symbols used in Buddhism in the same view you see Lotus. Also, if you visit a temple, the Idols like Buddhist statute, Stupa/Chitya (Datu Garbha), Bodhi Tree, structure of Pagodas, the number of step you climb are symbols of concepts for intelligent viewers.

A change of a pulse is a symbol for a sharp mind (perceive as 'sanna'). Even a letter is a symbol.
I see that you have a narrowed definition for the term symbol.
Who holds you to do so? Move to the next level to see things openly.

A symbol is a mental picture that can have different interpretations based on how it relates to other symbols (cross check) within a scope and the level of interpreter's knowledge, concentration and view.
"A picture is worth than a thousand words."

Comparison between two things as an Analogy is comparing the attributes (symbols) in symbols.

Buddhist scriptures are written by highly intelligent people who researched on mind and not by commoners who say social things vaguely with no respect to integrity. Unless the reader reads the symbolism correctly in ancient scriptures in the likes of Buddhist Tipitaka, it is impossible to get the correct view and will end-up following a wrong path.

Suggest to study Information systems/technology (encoding, encryption, authentication, cryptography, etc) before touching on the Idea base (Dhamma Skanda) of Buddhism.
I like to see an open minded (not dogmatic) community for fruitful discussions.
 

Otherwise, whoever depends on popular Buddhism will conclude a dream never came true..

Can God see the difference in Imaginary Numbers and Real Numbers?

 If unable to answer the question directly, it is advised to consult God of Gods' Eyes.
http://godofgodseyes.blogspot.com/2012/09/why-still-numbers-are-imaginary.html

A reputed university must unconditionally sponsor the research of 'who know imaginary through God's eye', if knowledge of 'Imaginary numbers' is to be revealed, where narrowed minds would open-up to global mathematics.

The above offer would be a win-win deal for knowledge.
Is it a big ask for the sake of 'Imaginary Numbers' and God?

Difference of Buddhism and Hinduism?

 
Answer:

The significance difference of Buddhism and Hinduism as follows:

Hinduism is based on 'Nyaya' meaning system and permanent God (Maha Brahma) the all soles liberate to. There can be more or less dialects in belief.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moksha

In Buddhism, '14 Maha Brahma' is in 'Rupa world'.
http://www.aimwell.org/assets/31%20Planes%20of%20Existence.jpg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_cosmology#Brahm.C4.81_worlds

The nibbana in Buddhism is to be free from all 3 main worlds:
1. Kama loka (sense world referring to definitions)
2. Rupa loka (body of the definition)
3. Arupa/naama loka (name/reference of definition)

Therefore, the core of Hinduism is to maintain the system, and the core of Buddhism is it's opposite, that is to free from attachment to system.

Free from attachment to system is free from worldly conditioning, the complete solution to suffering (Dhukkha)

Sukkah in Jewish and Buddhism

Question:
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqXuwHfNWeVd1jkit7LIbxkazKIX;_ylv=3?qid=20121229213654AA0lGOZ

Why Sukkah is common to Jewish and Buddhism?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukkah
'Sukkah' for Jewish is worldly sensation, a joyous occasion to eat, sleep and otherwise spend time.

In Buddhism,
http://www.tipitaka.net/tipitaka/dhp/verseload.php?verse=204
'nibbanam paramam sukham'
meaning detachment (freedom) from worldly sensations is 'ultimate Sukkah'.

Why opposite meanings for the same term?

@EddieJ,
Does the missing part (Shelter of Faith / dependence on God) make any difference to worldly sensation (pleasing 6 senses)?

@Zvi,
Do Jewish view God as permanent to seek dependence?

Check the place for creator God (Maha Brahma) viewed as permanent.

Mosaic Code

Question:
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkC77HN7ic17HxqpG1SmMQgazKIX;_ylv=3?qid=20121229205236AAqDlxS

Are 10 Commandments just a sample of 613 Mosaic Code as per Jewish belief?

This question is asked in response to 636 Mosaic codes referenced by [dewcoons]
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20121223170833AAscdYc

613 commandments/connections (mitzvot) first codified by Rabbi Simlai in Babylonian Talmud Makkot 23b(-24a), Deut. 33:04. (for the community of Jacob)
Also referenced by other Rabbi.

But, no early work of Jewish law or Biblical commentary depended on the 613 system and some rabbis declared that this count was not an authentic tradition.

The 613 Mitzvot do not constitute a formal code of present-day halakha-(Codes of Jewish law), since there are many formal codes of Jewish law developed over thousands of years (polymorphism).
Therefore 282 laws of Hammurabi could be a recorded source.

(mitzvot lo taaseh) negative commandments = 365 (number of days in the solar year)
(mitzvot aseh) positive commandments = 248 (number of bones and main organs in human body)
Total = 636

and/or

Moses's 611 commandments + first 2 of Ten Commandments (only ones directly from God)= 613

Christian after adaptation of Jesus believe 'Love/forgiveness of God' (different to early Christians)

If same God, why different views, even to cause violence & world wars?

Are those different views based on updates in creation (using changed Bibles)?

Jewish belief after introduction of Mosaic Code (10 or 636)
Islam belief after Quraysh tribe military leader Mohammed dictated Quran
Modern Christian belief after introduction of Jesus who died for sins/debts of others

Number '2' is introduced to a child using 'fingers' (visual application)
Number 2 is not limited to fingers and used for binary, hex, square root, etc in advanced manner.

Since the scope of Buddhism is mind and mind only (including nibbana), why popular Buddhism is always narrowed to 'projection at society'?
(Buddhism is not a social religion, and considering as such by religious societies is devaluing the core of Buddhism, which is to be free from attachment to systems/'nyaya')

There is a difference in getting to know a 3D vertical pole 'stambha' as it is, compared to understanding it's 2D horizontal shadow.

Additional Details

@Fake Genius,
1. As per your reference to Nyanatiloka Dictionary, (nir + √vā, to cease blowing, to become extinguished) has the same interpretation to nis+vana as cessation from 'growth of defilement' or 'cravings'. Was your concern 'vā' in 'vāna'?

2. Theravadin (learn from adults) is not a constant to be a true Buddhist without "right view" (not assumed right view). It has bearing on the intelligence of an individual.

3. The popular interpretation of Buddhism by monks is with contradictions.
How can there be previous births of Buddha as a man in Jataka stories, when reincarnation (bhava) is association of 5 clinging aggregates and 'bhava' refer to cittakkhaṇa (not afterlife of a man). Do 'bodhisatva' as an animal talk to people?
Getting data from Buddhist scriptures is not enough. They need to be processed. (read the symbols to know the message)
http://godofgodseyes.blogspot.com/2012/1…

4. Are Buddhist monks do more than what you stated (postman service of Dhamma), like accumulate money in bank and buy property? Are those monks Supati-panno, Ujupati-panno, puññakkhetam, etc? Get real.

Currently Buddhism produce certified walking encyclopedias (better store data in a DVD) with false interpretations and leaders use Buddhism to surrender people for ordering societies as way of life.
Could there be fruitful discussions in Buddhism which is unconditionally open to 'ehipassiko' (challenge)?

Buddhist societies do not allow that for a monk as a judge who gets jurisdiction over followers in dhamma talks. Even if a follower stands up, monk looses his status. Know the law discussed behind the curtains.

Answer of [Fake Genius]

to be honest, i don't know much. i can answer because i have references online. without references, i'm just ignorant. i know some dhamma but i cannot talk about it without references. i haven't memorized anything much.
.................................

best answer: There are some troubles with your answer.

Vana is yes, deep forest (there are different names for forest).
Nibbanna is nothing to do with vana. You should look in Nyanatiloka Dictionary.
http://www.budsas.org/ebud/bud-dict/dic3…

You can check that dictionary whenever you have a word and want the meaning for it.

31 planes of existence
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/ptf/dhamm…

We know animals - tiracchāna-yoni (see in that dictionary)
We also know ghosts etc: peta
We also know demon: asura (asurakaya)

Human, animal, ghost and demon share the surface of this earth. niraya : hell, is inside this earth.
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/…
You can search any word on that site too.

if you want to discuss about the 31 realms of existence, you can write to me for any particular idea. you're welcome at all.
.......................................…

I answered your 2nd question the way I should answer. any doubt you have, let me know.
I don't follow any institution with any agenda. i don't know one like that. i don't follow one like that. i don't know why you think i did.

memorizing dhamma is necessary. unless you know the dhamma, you cannot follow it. you don't have to know much - but must know enough. That is to practice the dhamma.
http://www.tipitaka.net/tipitaka/dhp/ver…

The Buddha then said to the bhikkhus, "Bhikkhus, those who love and revere me should act like Attadattha. You are not paying me homage by just offering flowers, perfumes and incense and by coming to see me; you pay me homage only by practising the Dhamma I have taught you, i.e., the Lokuttara Dhamma."
........................

Frankly, symbolism is Buddhism is limited and not indirectly. Symbolism is clearly stated as symbolism. So whenever you counter a word, unless stated by experts, you shouldn't think in any symbolic idea at all.

Lotus - is the only symbol that's significantly important. http://www.maithri.com/links/articles/lo…

Actually, you can leave all superstition behind. Just practice what is practical - samatha vipassana. Buddhism is just that.

........................

...why popular Buddhism is always narrowed to 'projection at society'?
Idk about popular Buddhism. I've told you I'm a Theravadin (from Theravada Buddhism). Mind and mind only is not right either. There are namma and rupa and we must know both. This is very important for development and the "right view".

Right View is the first thing you have to develop in Buddhism. That is number one of the Noble Eight-fold Path.

Buddhism does need the society both for support and existence. Buddhism exists for mankind just like any science and technology. The Buddha could avoid teaching anyone at all. But as we want freedom ourselves, we want to follow the teaching of the Buddha. Here, Buddhism is all about one's motivation - it's just like a school or university where anyone who wants knowledge and freedom can go and learn and qualify.

Look for the word "sasana" in the dictionary.

People are different. They follow Buddhism their ways. Monks do teach them how to follow Buddhism. Some follow according to different monks too. Don't talk about how people follow what they want to follow. Just think about what the Buddha Himself had to give and wanted His followers to do. Good Buddhists follow the teaching of the Buddha (Buddha Sasana) as the Buddha wanted.
.......

The rest, Idk what you're talking about. Elaborate a little more.

http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Atw9XciN7dyOsPsypLQBRAchBgx.;_ylv=3?qid=20121228182452AAWX4nE

What are Visakha, Sakkha and Vesak in Buddhism?

As per popular Buddhism:
Viśākhā was one of the chief female lay disciples of the Buddha. She became a stream-enterer and died at the age of 120.

Lets study the term symbolically:

www.urbandharma.org/pdf/palidict.pdf
page 288, 289,

sakka:
= ‘King of Gods’ in Tàvatiüsa (heaven of the Thirty-Three)

sakkàya:
= sat-kàya = ‘existing group’/ ‘personality’
= 5 clinging group of existence (upàdàna-kkhandha)
1. Nama & Rupa 2. Vedana 3. Sanna 4. Sankhara 5. Vinnana
= not, sva-kàya, ‘own group’

“Sakkàya, O Brother Visàkha, is said by the Blessed One to be a name for the 5 ‘groups as objects of clinging’

sakkàya-ditthi:
=‘personality-belief’
4 types x 5 groups of existence = 20 kinds of personality belief

http://palidictionary.appspot.com
Visākha = having branches

visākhā = lunar mansion (nakkhatta) or month (see vesākha)


Visàkha = Vi + sàkkha = Infinitesimal 5 clinging Aggregates?

Can you see the relationship in Visakha, Sakkha and Vesak festival using 3rd eye?

Additional Details

sakha/sakhi = friend
sakhaṁ, sakhāro:→sakhi
saka = relation
saka+dā+gāmī = Once-returner
ratha+cakka = Riya+Saka = chariot wheel
saka+mana = joyful

Forest in Buddhism

Question: [Sang]
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20121223113708AAWYzeO

Was buddha not disturbed by wild animals and insects when meditating in the forest?

not to mention rain / cold /chill /hot , etc...personal hygiene

Answer:

The answer is Neither YES nor NO, because we should not mix terms in 2 different systems.

In common usage the term 'forest' is a dense growth of trees where wild animals and insects live.

The Pali term 'vaṇa/vāna' refers to: 'forest' as well as a 'wound' like a rash.

The symbolic meaning is 'growth'.
In Buddhism, 'vaṇa' is 'growth of defilement' or 'cravings'.

The word to the Pāli Buddhist forms a connection between vana and nibbāna, which is felt as a quâsi derivation fr. nibbana= nis+vana.

It is important to clarify that Buddhist Cosmology (31 planes of existence) is a separate model to explain the 'dependent origination or existence of ideas' in Buddhism. It is NOT what Nasa is researching using Rockets.
http://www.aimwell.org/assets/31%20Planes%20of%20Existence.jpg

Buddhism is 'Akalika'. Therefore, popular meaning as history of Buddhism is fake and has a different meaning in the likes of 'idols'. (geographic laboratory for the wise)

If I explain the symbolism in Buddhist scriptures, the religious Buddhists (including Buddhist monks) would open their 3rd eye.

Is Trinity in Bible like an Author playing a character in his own story?

The Trinity is one God existing in three Persons.
http://www.gotquestions.org/Trinity-Bible.html

Take for example:
Sherlock Holmes fictional stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who himself played the character of John H. Watson, known as Dr. Watson.
(Few years back I visited Sherlock Holmes Museum located next to Madam Tussaud's wax museum in London)

Father = Author of the Book (Conan Doyle)
Son = Dr. Watson
Message = Read the Sherlock Holmes's mental processes
Likewise,
Father = Author of Bible Stories (Accounts book)
Son = Jesus (Bad Debt Account), etc
Message = Absorb all debts (sins) of other accounts like IMF to liberate the deadlock system (story) to function. {balance the account debt deficits to start fresh}

Here, author the creator of stories can be a corporation or society or forum with a single name (one God), where many persons assume to contribute under the good name.

Do animals have rights to not to be farmed and killed by fictional persons?

Additional Details

Only [Sheila] seems to have a grasp of the question.
@Therese,
People can have many persons (masks/memberships/accounts). People act the role (job description) defined under fictional person like acting on stage by wearing a mask.
People is the master and fictional person is the slave (master-slave relationship). Slave can not kill master. Therefore, people do have rights to not be killed by fictional persons.
Can you answer my question?

Would you like others to harm you as a Christmas promotion?

If not, why do you kill or justify killing powerless animals in the God's name??
Why can't you guys spread the love to all beings?

@Nous,
Did you just wake-up to NOT know how powerless innocent animals are killed to celebrate Christmas in Devil's name, though assumed as God's name?
Immaturity and primitive perhaps!
Silly claim, isn't it to show empathy towards others?

@Fake Genius,
Are you deliberately forgetting the supply-demand chain to justify frozen meat bought from the shop as non-killing animals?
Do shops sell naturally dead meat (not farmed & slaughtered)?
Confusion with dualities in thought is fraud (hiding the truth) like black-magic.

God cruelty

Question:
http://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsSvN9BzHKmL243pcA64UvaRHQx.;_ylv=3?qid=20121224181659AAb1CVi

Do God believers promote animal cruelty or justify greed for flesh by using God?

How can a loving heart willingly kill or support to kill an animal life?
or Are you suggesting that Bible is all about hypocrisy regarding love?

"Animals don't have a sole" by pointing at a man-written text is a rubbish argument, any fool can do.

Justification to kill animals as food are devils voices disrespecting others lives, and not suitable for people with advanced minds.

Would you eat your neighbor as long as you can digest his flesh (obvious food chain) by calling him 'fish' and pointing at the bible for justification?

This blood game is not funny for animals with feelings.

@KAZ K,
Have a look at the comment to my previous question "Why Jesus failed to show God's love towards innocent animals?"

Can you be proud to be human?

@Tony, Are you suggesting that you should be considered as your neighbor's food for Christmas dinner (if he calls you 'fish')?

@Bob W,
Please check if you have misread Bible about God and can you think fresh as human to respect others?

@scrubbag,
This question is not directly advising you what to eat and what not to eat.
Why can't you respect other lives in the God's name, specially the powerless animals?
Would you like others to harm you as a Christmas promotion?

@mrh-slos,
It is not a matter of legitimate personal lifestyle choice to take lives of others.
Text written on paper is nothing to justify killing others.
With respect, even you can wipe a-ss with that paper.

@scrubbag, No you're addressing a point not relevant to this question.

Question doesn't address eating naturally dead animals as per your choice.
Farm to kill innocent powerless animals and to promote such activities is not natural.
It shows how selfish and cruel minded some people are.
Would you like anyone to do same to you?

Parallel Governments

Question:
http://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AiM8rgO2dCQhBA.heO_DnL2RHQx.;_ylv=3?qid=20121224174458AACXS0u

Can there be Parallel governments in a country?

Government is a monopoly corporation for a country.
Distribution and centralization of powers is old school of thinking.

If there is a strong demand, but less supply, then the bargaining power of the customer (citizen) goes down.

Since Government is a fictional corporation (constitution put on paper), why can't there be many parallel governments for better service to people through competition?

Why desperately protest for anything in streets, if there are options to choose?

 

Answer:

Jesus love for Animals

Why Jesus failed to show God's love towards innocent animals?

Animals are farmed and killed for Christmas dinner. eg: turkey, chicken,etc

If you were farmed and killed by your neighbor, would you consider that God loves you?

Why inconsistent love?

@lazybones,

@Richard P.,
Do you consider human as master and animals as slave (master-slave relationship) for your logic to work?
You sound duality in believing to treat animals humanely and killing them. "we don't simply use what it says as justification blindly" and you refer to Timothy 3:16. We admire honesty.
Whatever you believe is not a problem as long as you respect others (including powerless animals).
I can think as human and use justification as well as you do.
Why can't you think further beyond primitive level to not to justify killing animals?

@thefinalresult,
Crocodiles are designed to eat Humans. Why don't you be dinner for this Christmas as per the God's design? I read Genesis differently (symbolic meaning), not the idiotic English interpretation.
The same bible was interpreted by fools to kill people in holly-wars.
Can you think like a good human to not to abuse nature by considering as resources (eg: human resource)?

@thefinalresult,
"I buy humane meat. I can only trust the label." Funny isn't it?

Did Moses brake the tablets by refusing to follow the 10 commandments?

Recipe for social/world order in 10 commandments (extracted by Hammurabi's code):

You shall not murder. (do not take other lives, including animals)
You shall not steal.(do not take, what belongs to other or what is not belonging to you)
You shall not commit adultery. (sexual/sensual misconduct)
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. (lie/untruth/fraud/magic)

Answer:

Light vs Darkness

• The war between powers of light vs powers of darkness.

• More power matters.

• Light destroys darkness & darkness try to hide from light.

Light penetrates deep through layers
It is deep and simple. Takes no time to reveal the ultimate truth.

Darkness Limits at the layers
It uses repetition or conditioning to hide the truth, like in black-magic.

 (Recursive) Systems including Governments maintain existence using powers of darkness to deceive and control people.

Buddhist Holy (wholly) war

Born will die.

Re-birth can extend it’s existence.

Note:
Buddhism considers 5 aggregates as self-recursion.
Rebirth (punar+uthpaththi) of all 5 aggregates is called reincarnation (punar+bhava).


Avijja paccaya Sankhara   - Lack of scientific knowledge arise volition (editing)
Sankhara paccaya Vinnana – volition arises infinitesimal knowledge (self rebirth)

• Therefore, Buddhism generates a separate main-self with scientific knowledge and empowers it.

• This scientific main-self does not have rebirth. So, it expires it’s existence at the end of it’s life-cycle.

• Scientific-main-self declares war with other non-scientific-main-selves to end their rebirth.

• This is holy war in Buddhism.

• The war between powers of light vs powers of darkness. More power matters.

Why separate self?

• No system can suicide itself without external help. (call for suicide bomber)

• Therefore, a limited existence scientific-self is used for complete system shutdown.

Self Hierarchy

Buddhist Cosmology (31-planes of existence):

 
 A self (definition/person) has 2 properties.

• Naama = name = reference identity

• Ruupa = description = content

For example:

Self network is hierarchical.
 
The main definition (#00) is main-self (my-self). 

There can be 1 or more main-selves to a living being.

The living being may empowers each and every self.
 
When a self ends it’s routing, it joins with main-self as liberation.
 

A self can be recursive. (repeats and moves forward)

For example:
If ‘I-2’ thinks of ‘I-1’, then ‘I-3’ is created.
