Hey, It's Michael here, or known as Baltohq on my freewebs website. If I even know how, then I'll try to upload Balto if I can. Also note that I'm a "computer nerd", no, not a nerd wearing glasses, that has acne, and that has a poor social life, I have a great life I would say, but I mostly spend my time on the computer. I stay up until 12 or 1 A.M. if it's a weekend, or Summer. But anyways, more info on me at my Myspace.

Thanks for subscribing by the way! Just ask me if you want me to subscribe to you back.

Oh, yes, and a slight confession. Well, as you all, or some, might know, Laos is a communist state (country). Well, apparently that makes me a communist too. Don't think that I'm bad or anything, I halfly-"choose" to be a communist. Some are not all bad. Even Laos, our country is still trying to regain our economy back from the Vietnam War and Secret War, we Laotian "communist" have done nothing bad yet to the U.S. Plus, communist isn't the only thing to worry now, there are still terrorist. I'm just telling you now, not that I'm bad or anything.

Plus I'm a *half* zoophilia. I never engaged in it (because I don't own a dog) and plus we don't plan to get a dog, and that I'm still pretty young.

"Buddhism is a religion and a philosophy. It mainly focuses on attaining the highest happiness achievable: Nirvana. To do this, suffering -which is the physical and mental suffering in which money and power are made into "artificial" happiness- must be stopped."

"Nirvana is the enlightened stage, it is the highest possible happiness achieved. Wealth does not make people happy as a fact; this is what the Buddha abbandoned as a pampered prince."

"There are some buddhas before the Buddha's time, these buddhas have achived Nirvana in their own special way. But can Nirvana be attained 'with' pleasures such as money and power? No, but it would certainly feel like it."

"There are different types of Buddhism, my tradition is Theravada: the oldest surviving school of Buddhism. This tradition was handed down word for word, thus, it is the "true" Buddhist thought. Theravada covers Thailand, Southern China, Western Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, and most of Southeast Asia. There is also another tradition: Mahayana. Buddhism is usually brought to two traditions: Theravada and Mahayana. Though other traditions are also availiable."

"The Four Noble Truths:

The Truth of Suffering =
There is suffering

The Truth of the Cause of Suffering =
There is a cause to suffering

The Truth of the Cessation of Suffering =
There is a cessation of suffering

The Truth of the Path to the Cessation of Suffering =
There is a way leading to the cessation of suffering; The Noble Eightfold Path."

"The Noble Eightfold Path:

Wisdom =
1. Right View
-Understanding the right view
2. Right Intention
-The correct thought

Ethical Conduct =
3. Right Speech
-Abstaining lieing/gossip/divisive speech
4. Right Action
-Doing what is the right conduct
5. Right Livelihood
-Live to peace

Mental Discipline =
6. Right Effort
-To keep his/her mind on following the
Eightfold Path
7. Right Mindfulness
-Keeping the mind alert
8. Right Concentration
-Concentrating on what is right"

"Where is love, there is suffering."
-Buddha

"I have personally made my doctrine in helping other Buddhist: 99% can be true (1% false), 99% can be false (1% true). In an example, of which a person is angered by someone, and he says," Well why arn't you eating worms? Everyone is doing it." Technically, this is not true because EVERYONE isn't eating worms. There is usually an impurity in almost everything, but not all. The elements in the Periodic Table are pure, and so was the Buddha's mind; both are examples of physical and mental ways of this doctrine. This doctrine can also effect grammar, math, and sometimes science. But if you are still studying these lessons in school, then I suggest you keep this doctrine to yourself as this doctrine is widely made into questioning. But what we are trying to do, is to "see" past this doctrine. We must abandon it and reach the "pure". We must let go of the impurities and finally become a pure. This doctrine is more of a "life-checker", if there is a question, then use this. This doctrine stresses Ying and Yang. By no means is this an easy task, but this doctrine must be understood, and then "abandoned"."
