RE: The Ten Stages of the Mahayana Bodhisattva Path
how i wish leaders in africa can practice avoiding the dharmas then i think this continent will improve. indeed buddha is rich in principles that help self decipline and growth.
As a student this fifth stage is important to me i.e deep meditation and mind concentration.it did help me to be focused.
A nice post well fully presented with captivating pictures.
It is odd but there are not many African or African American's that find Buddhism attractive. I know of several Buddhist centers in Africa but I haven't met many African Americans that are interested in Buddhism.
what would you say is the reason why buddhism hasnt flourish in africa?
I don't know @makovicloyal, I don't know that much about Africa, but I have some Buddhist Monk friends that manage a Buddhist Monastery in South Africa. Maybe because the Christian and Muslim faiths are so strong there is no room for Buddhism to take root.
okay i think buddha has a rich tradition that if when apply practically will solve man's so called daily problem. it is a religion that support the mind and its products.
There are practices for the lay people that can free one from suffering and rebirth but they will not lead to the Bodhisattva and Samma Sambuddha attainments.
