[QUOTE="Leonidis, post: 2725662, member: 908033"] I've read in the Insights of the Dalai Lama Budda in a former life ( before enlightenment) was born into a hell. In this hell a device appeared on the top of his head and began turning up his brain. Reflecting on this suffering ( caused by his own prior negative actions) he contemplated others suffering in a similar manner AND WISHED THROUGH HIS OWN PAIN ALL OTHERS COULD BE RELIEVED OF ALL SUCH PAIN. At that moment, the device was lifted from his head, he was freed from that hell and was reborn as a human. THE QUESTION IS,,,"the device turning his brain, is this symbolic of the mechanisms that influence our thoughts, or perhaps more like a "THE MATRIX" We are actually plugged in and fed like a computer program the conscience we know? Any ideas as to the meaning of this teaching. Trying to get a two for one here, "would Jesus Christ have liked Buddha, and Buddha liked The Christ. Do you think they would have been friends if they met? [/QUOTE]
