Not going to happen, Wieber, and you ****ing know it.
Actually, the poor slob probably *doesn't* know it. In all likelihood, he has told these fantastic tales so many times that in his twisted mind, they have become what passes for reality in Wieber-World.
You really do have to have pity on a guy who's life is so completely ****ed up that all he has left are fantasies of doing harm to others. Buddhist my ass. There is not now, nor was there ever a Buddhist sect that promoted or condoned inflicting pain for one's own pleasure. There are, however, plenty of Buddhists who would feel sorrow for Wieber.
The Buddhist sect that he claims to belong to believes that the first,
and most important, act in attaining Nirvana is to "understand one's
self".
Rensi Buddhists do have that "requirement". More of a suggestion for
enlightenment..but it is there. Its not the first and most
important..but its high on the list.

Hundreds of lines of cut and paste none of which he understands and he
even misspells the name of his professed version of Buddhism.
In reality it is pronounced "Rinzai" and it is a sub branch of Zen
Buddhism.
It is generally described as:
Rinzai Zen is marked by the emphasis it places on kensho ("seeing
one's true nature") as the gateway to authentic Buddhist practice, and
for its insistence on many years of exhaustive post-kensho training to
embody the free functioning of wisdom within the activities of daily
life.
If one wishes to become a monk...true indeed.
No. If one wants to attain nirvana, which in the Buddhist scheme of
things is simply not to be re-born again.
Absolutely false. Its well known that one takes multiple trips on the
Wheel of Life and reaching nirvana means total personal enlightenment,
which does NOT preclude one from living again and again. It only means
one has reached enlightenment.
Gee, you are really an ignorant individual, aren't you.
Nirvana:
(Sanskrit, also nirvana; Pali: nibbana, ) is the earliest and most
common term used to describe the goal of the Buddhist path. The
literal meaning is "blowing out" or "quenching." It is the ultimate
spiritual goal in Buddhism and marks the soteriological release from
rebirths in samsara.
Of course it is. However one can be reborn over and over and over
again after reaching Nirvana. If one desires
Samsara:
Samsara (Sanskrit, Pali; also samsara) in Buddhism is the
beginning-less cycle of repeated birth, mundane existence and dying
again. Samsara is considered to be dukkha, unsatisfactory and painful.
Indeed.
Dukkha:
Dukkha (Pali; Sanskrit: dukha) is an important Buddhist concept,
commonly translated as "suffering", "pain" or "unsatisfactoriness"
Would you care to post another hundred lines to add to our
understanding of your truly phenomenal ignorance?
Looks like you are beating me to the top of the ignorance heap.
Interesting how you can do a quick google on Buddhism..yet actually
understand so little. Cutting and pasting half understood quotes from
unknown sources is exactly what you have accused me of over and over
again...even though I give the cites and sources. You..snicker....did
neither
Well, given that I live in a country where the overwhelming percent of
the population is Buddhist (some 93%), and that my wife is Buddhist
and that every male in the extended family past the age of puberty has
entered the religion as a Monk and that I have had extended
discussions with the Abbots of a number of Wats', and although I,
myself, have never been shaved a monk, I believe that even without
cutting and pasting from the Internet I probably? No, certainly, know
a while lot more about the Religion then you do. At least I can spell
the name of the sect that I believe is the true one, the Theravada
school, which is based on the Buddha's actual teachings, rather than
some wacky Chinaman who arrived on the scene 1300 years after the
Buddha attained enlightenment.

Oh..Id strongly suggest you do a quick google on who and what a
Bodhisattva is.....
Of course I know. A Bodhisattva is the Sanskrit term for anyone who,
motivated by great compassion, has generated Bodhicitta, which is a
spontaneous wish and a compassionate mind to attain Buddhahood for the
benefit of all sentient beings.
The Buddha himself was a Bodhisattva and Quan Yin, who is honored as a
Bodhisattva by the Mahayana Buddhists, foreigners refer to her as "The
Goddess of Mercy", and of course many more.
By bring up the subject I can only assume that you have claiming that
you have reached perfection and have attained Buddhahood for all
mankind.
So you suddenly realized you **** in your messkit (again) and forgot
about those that reached Bodhisativa and remained to help all others
attain Nirvana.
A nice try at an end run around reality. I pointed out that reaching
nirvana, which is a word that means something similar to going out or
extinguish, means simply that. You seem to the arguing that if the
individual wished he can go on. and one assumes on and on and on.
But all your bull **** aside you can't even spell the name of the sect
that you profess belief in. Which certainly says a great deal about
your "knowledge" of the subject.
If you actually knew anything about the subject you would realize that
the main tenet of Zen and your sub-sect Renzai is, and I quote:
"Rinzai Zen is marked by the emphasis it places on kensho ("seeing
one's true nature") as the gateway to authentic Buddhist practice".
And if you actually did "see one's true nature" you would be aware of
the fact that you are, quite simply, a feeble old man living in
poverty who has never amounted to anything at all, and all your
attempts to prove to the world that you are, way down deep inside, a
powerfully and intelligent person who has accomplished almost
impossible feats is simply the efforts of a failure to prove to the
world that he is some sort of a "super hero".
Good Lord! Your wife even ran off and left you for someone else. Super
Hero indeed.
