About Buddhism
Buddhism is a path not simply of faith but also of reason and knowledge, says the Dalai Lama
From the Buddhist point of view, the minds of ordinary people are weak and distorted because of the delusion and emotional afflictions they carry within themselves. As a result, they are unable to see things as they actually exist; what they see is a vision that is twisted and defined by their own emotional neuroses and preconceptions.
The purpose of Buddhism is to remove these distortions from the mind and facilitate valid perception. When we eradicate the delusions, we start seeing reality as it is. This benefits everyone — both in this life and in those that follow. Therefore, Buddhism is a path not simply of faith but one also of reason and knowledge.

Spiritual Intelligence
Το σχόλιο της πεταλούδας στη προηγούμενη ανάρτηση με ώθησε να αναρτήσω το παρακάτω κείμενο.
Υπάρχει η συμβατική ευφυία-IQ-,η συναισθηματική ευφυία-EQ- και η πνευματική ευφυία, spiritual intelligence-SI-. H spiritual intelligence επεκτείνει τον ορίζοντα πέρα από το εγώ.Ευαισθητοποιεί σε εναν ευρύτερο κύκλο επίγνωσης και επιρροής. Η πνευματικότητα επιτρέπει να παραμένουμε συνδεδεμένοι με την αίσθηση μίας συμπαντικής ενότητας-ολότητας. Αυτό δίνει τη δυνατότητα να ανταποκρίνεται κανείς σε δοκιμασίες και καταστάσεις δύσκολες με αξιοσημείωτα σύνθετο τρόπο. Μας κάνει πιό δεκτικούς στη δύναμη της σοφίας που είναι πάντα διαθέσιμη μέσα μας.
There is conventional intelligence-IQ- emotional intelligence-EQ- and Spiritual Intelligence-SI- Spiritual intelligence,expands the horizon beyond the ego.It sensitize one to a larger circle of awareness and influence.Spirituality evolved people to remain connected with a sense of universal oneness. This enables them to respond to trying situations and issues in a remarkably composed manner. It makes us more receptive to the power of wisdom that is always available within us.
