where in Buddhism does it state we must die a little every day?

2008-05-02T05:58:46Z

Where in Buddhism does it suggest "find what we really are: Nothing"

as a student of Buddhism, I have not come across such notion..

that we are really nothing is nihilist.. Buddhist aren't nihilist..

perhaps there might be an obscure branch and lineage of Buddhism that thinks as nihilist.. I'd like to know..

thanks for your clarification ..

almost died yesterday

2007-04-13T18:55:47Z

I think anyways~~~~~
I went to have a spinal injection which I have had done many times before in the last year. They give you mainly Demerol+ & call it a "concious sedation". Bcz I am sensitive & reflex to stimuli I am usually monitored closely but towards the heavier sedation so I don't start twitching off the table. So when they wake me up & give me cheap oj & oreos & start the paperwork the last thing I remember is the nurse asking me "on a scale of 1-10 how do you feel?" I wanted to laugh bcz I couldn't 'feel' anything but started to feel nauseoous & she said "...there's nothing inside to vomit" but grabbed a bowl thing. I don't know how long it all went on, & I seemed to start to come back to conciousness a few times but would slip away again. When I could understand anything they had me on O2 & there was nurses & 2 drs & they said they gave me 2 things of Norcal to fight the drugs in my system.

Going in I had told them my BP & Temp had been very low for 2 days & the nurse told the other "she's always low...." My friends picked me up & dropped me at home; where I live alone. I feel very weird & wish All! the drugs would get out of me bcz I don't feel good or bad just Blah - the yucky blahs! But I do feel, keep thinking how my friends didn't respond with any concern. On the contrary they were telling me about their shopping buys while I was in the clinic. I showed more interest in a new gem bracelet then they in my almost seeming to die on the table. All the response I got was "Oh is that what took so long?" & a "how do you feel now" then the shopping stories.

No calls today to ask how I am. Maybe it's this kind of thinness that some people lose life over. I can vaguely remember a part of me wanting to go on down that warm slippery road of the drug & don't know if it was me or the Norcal & nurses that kept me here. & then there is tha nausea today with no energy to do something that might take my mind off of this~~~~~~~~

We are Nothing? Or in fact are we EVERYTHING?

2007-01-25T23:15:40Z

I'm not sure if I understand the statement that "we are nothing". It seems as if we are AT LEAST beings in nature, much as are other beings. The more we live, we grow (if we are ACTIVELY 'being'). We become further and further from 'nothing'! Death is such a tragedy because it is the truly the END of a Human Soul, Life reduced to nothingness. Yes, we want to strip away old assumptions we make in our investigation of the world as we learn more, and BUILD up the parts of our Being that are lacking (the 'nothingness of our being').

saturn return?

2006-04-17T20:11:21Z

wow, this saturn return is kicking my ass. I feel like i am going through a second painful birth. I am letting go of a lot of things, my parents to be specific. It's incredibaly sad but good too, to know that in many ways i am moving beyond the relationship i have had with my parents in the past. The co-dependency , the anger , the hurt . But i am afriad i will revert back in the presence of my mom. My dad is long out of the picture, thankfully.
It's like an old boyfriend , being around him I feel like the person i was when i was with him, immature and needy. without him i feel free and mature.
I don't know how to be around my mom and be healthy.
I may just need to not be around her much
what do you think?

The guy I was trying to start something up with is dissing me

2005-09-11T00:15:34Z

We were a bit hot and heavy for a scond there but he has a girlfriend and decided cheating wasn't his thing. And he turned out to be so conventional, really materialistic and overly logical, not too open minded. So I have given up on him. ( ofcourse I never really give up on anyone because I still care about him) . And an old boyfriend who I once thought I was going to marry is now going to marry someone else. And somehow it's all ok. Those things died but they weren't really me anyway . I feel lighter somehow without them. Isn't life a trip!
