Theravada / [ask]perbedahan pencerahan Arahat dan Sammasambuddha
« on: 25 March 2009, 11:47:21 AM »
ketika Buddha Gautama bermeditasi dengan cara extrem apa sudah mencapi Arahat?
di MAHASACCAKA SUTTA ada perbincangan dewa2 sebagai berikut
Ketika para dewa melihat diriku, mereka berkata: "Samara Gotama telah mati". Dewa-dewa lain berkata: "Samara Gotama tidak mati, ia hampir mati". Para dewa yang lain berkata: "Samara Gotama itu tidak mati dan bukan dalam keadaan mau mati; ia seorang Arahat. Inilah cara para Arahat."
apa kalau Arahat cuma mencapai "penerangan"
Aku berpikir: "Apabila seorang petapa atau brahmana merasakan rasa sakit, bergetar, menusuk dikarenakan keinginan kerasnya, rasa itu dapat menyamai keadaanku ini tetapi tidak dapat melampauinya. Kapanpun seorang petapa atau brahmana pada waktu yang akan datang akan merasakan sakit, bergetar dan perasaan menusuk yang amat tajam disebabkan keinginan-keinginan kerasnya. Keadaan itu dapat menyamai perasaanku itu tapi bukan melebihinya. Kapanpun seorang petapa atau brahmana pada waktu sekarang merasakan sakit, bergetar atau perasaan yang menusuk disebabkan karena keinginan kerasnya, keadaan sakit itu bisa menyamai perasaanku itu namun tidak melebihinya. Tetapi dengan melaksanakan hal yang amat menyakitkan ini saya mencapai tingkat yang tidak beda dengan keadaan manusia biasa yang belum mencapai pengetahuan dan pandangan ariya. Apakah masih ada jalan lain untuk pencapaian penerangan sempurna?

Theravada / [ask]sikap Buddha terhadap saccaka
« on: 25 March 2009, 11:33:01 AM »
Setelah perdebatan berlangsung beberapa saat, Sang Buddha mengajukan sebuah pertanyaan kepada Saccaka, tetapi ia diam tidak menjawab. Untuk kedua kalinya Sang Buddha bertanya, Saccaka tetap diam. Kemudian Sang Buddha bertanya untuk ketiga kalinya, pada saat itu raja para dewa yaitu Dewa Sakka dengan memegang kapak di tangannya, berdiri melayang di udara, tepat di atas kepala Saccaka dan berkata :
"Saccaka, apabila kamu tidak mau menjawab pertanyaan Sang Tathagata yang telah diajukan untuk ketiga kalinya, maka Aku akan membelah kepalamu menjadi tujuh bagian."
Hanya Sang Buddha dan Saccaka yang dapat melihat Dewa Sakka.
dikutp sedikit dari : 7. Menaklukkan Saccaka, Sang Orator
(dengan Kebijaksanaan / Paññã)
http://www.samaggi-phala.or.id/naskahdamma_dtl.php?id=136&multi=T&hal=0
apa Buddha akan bertanya sampai 3x, kalau dia adalah seorang yg sudah tercerahkan? apa ini bukan ancaman?
apa Buddha membenarkan sikap dewa sakka, atau memang ada aturan 3x pertanyaan yg tidak dijawab kepala akan belah tujuh bagian?

Ilmu Pengetahuan dan Teknologi / ayo bahas Eksperimen Philadelphia/ Project Rainbow dalam pandangan Buddhism
« on: 05 February 2009, 11:24:20 AM »
Menurut teori Albert Einstein, mengatakan bahwa dalam perhitungan-perhitungan ilmiah, manusia tidak
hanya berurusan dengan tinggi, lebar dan panjang; melainkan juga dengan satu dimensi lain, yaitu waktu.
Sebuah teori Einstein menyatakan bahwa konsep ruang waktu dan energi materi bukanlah dua kesatuan
yang terpisah sama sekali. Keduanya bisa terjalin dalam keadaan tertentu. Dan kalau itu benar-benar terjadi,
tidaklah mustahil benda bisa muncul dan lenyap secara mendadak, seakan-seakan mengalami proses
dematerialisasi. Di mana proses pelenyapan pesawat terbang, kapal dan lainnya di Segitiga Bermuda tidak
lain karena peristiwa ini.
Mungkin teori Einstein itu terlalu membingungkan. Penguraian teori yang rumit tersebut adalah sebagai
berikut. Suatu muatan listrik pada sebuah kumparan tentu akan menciptakan medan magnetik tertentu yang
menuruti arah kedua bidang tegak dan mendatar. Dengan jalan ini, mungkin sebuah medan lain (gravitasi?)
dapat diciptakan menurut prinsip resonansi. Caranya ialah dengan menggantungkan sebuah generator
elektromagnetik sedemikian rupa sehingga menciptakan pulsa-pulsa magnetik. Medan yang terjadi tersebut
akan mengadakan “penyatuan” dengan kedua medan tegak dan mendatar itu.
Kalau kita mengembangkan pelaksanaan teori Einstein tentang “Unified Field” (penyatuan medan) yang
menyatukan medan gravitasi dan elektromagnetik ke dalam teori ruang waktu, maka medan magnetik kalau
cukup kuat akan dapat meyebabkan barang/benda atau manusia berubah dimensi dan menjadi tak tampak.
Pandangan teori “Unified Field” kemudian disamakan dengan peristiwa segitiga bermuda. Dengan kata lain,
kita pasti akan dapat membuat sebuah alat yang diinginkan oleh para penghayal yaitu “mesin waktu”.
Sekarang marilah kita mencoba mengikuti eksperimen Philadelphia. Secara tak sengaja Angkatan Laut
Amerika Serikat menemukan praktek penyatuan medan ini ketika mengadakan percobaan rahasia di sebuah
kapal penghancur USS Eldridge
pada musim gugur tahun 1943 (ketika masih Perang Dunia II). Karena percobaan dilaksanakan di
Philadelphia, maka kemudian eksperimen ini lebih dikenal sebagai Percobaan Philadelphia.
Tujuan intinya adalah menyelidiki pengaruh medan magnetik terhadap kapal laut dan seisinya. Dua buah
generator, yang satu menghasilkan pulsa magnetik dan yang satu tidak dihidupkan bersama-sama sehingga
tercipta medan magnetik diatas dan disekeliling kapal. Hasilnya memang mengejutkan dan memang sangat
penting, meskipun menimbulkan akibat buruk pada awak kapalnya.
Ketiga eksperimen mulai dijalankan, tampak suatu sinar kehijauan samar-samar. Perlu diketahui, bahwa
laporan dari orang yang selamat dari Segitiga Bermuda, mengatakan menyaksikan kabut kehijauan.
Peristiwa selanjutnya yang terjadi ialah seluruh kapal kemudian terselimuti kabut hujau dan akhirnya kapal
bersama awaknya menghilang dari pandangan pengamat dan hanya garis permukaan laut yang kelihatan.
Kapal itu tampak dan menghilang lagi, tampak dan menghilang lagi. Diteleportasi dari Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, ke wilayah Norfolk, Virginia. Jadi percobaan itu dapat dikatakan sesuai dengan teori Unified
Field.
Menurut seorang bekas awak kapal perusak itu, percobaan berhasil baik di lautan. Mereka telah berhasil
menciptakan “ruang waktu” berbentuk spiral. Ruang waktu itu mempunyai radius sampai seratus yard atau
91 meter dari pusat pancaran magnetik, yang artinya setiap benda, manusia bila berada dalam radius itu
akan lenyap dari pandangan, tetapi masih mungkin dapat diraba. Ketika kapal itu lenyap dari pemandangan,
hanya lekukan kapal pada permukaan air yang tertindih kapal itu yang kelihatan. Semakin diperkuat gaya
medan magnetik, mengakibatkan manusiapun turut lenyap, dan untuk dapat diketemukan, harus dengan
jalan rabaan. Mereka baru tampak kembali setelah keluar dari medan magnetik itu. Istilah pelenyapan itu
oleh mereka disebut “sedang mencair”.
Memang percobaan itu kelihatan berhasil, tetapi memerlukan korban yang tidak sedikit. Ada orang (awak
kapal itu) yang akhir nya meninggal, ada beberapa lagi yang kehilangan ingatan. Tetapi ada juga yang
membawa akibat baik. Yaitu ada orang yang indera keenamnya bertambah tajam. Yang lucunya, beberapa
orang masih membawa akibat percobaan itu, yaitu kadang-kadang dengan sendirinya lenyap dan muncul
lagi, baik di rumah lebih-lebih bila dijalan/dimasyarakat dapat mengejutkan orang yang melihatnya.
Percobaan Philadelpia ini sebenarnya sangat dirahasiakan. Dengan percobaan ini sekaligus diketemukan
sebab-sebab kecelakaan di Segitiga Bermuda dan pembuktian teori Einstein “Unified Field” ternyata benar.
Einstein sendiri belum pernah mencoba, karena ia telah meninggal dunia. Teori ini entah sengaja atau tidak
telah terbukti, sehingga para ilmuwan tidak lagi meragukan. percobaan ini mengingatkan kita pada piring
terbang yang menghilang bila sedang terbang. Inipun antara lain disebabkan adanya medan magnetik yang
berasal dari piring terbang itu, tentunya tanpa membawa akibat apa-apa bagi awaknya
hanya berurusan dengan tinggi, lebar dan panjang; melainkan juga dengan satu dimensi lain, yaitu waktu.

Politik, ekonomi, Sosial dan budaya Umum / UFO arab saudi
« on: 02 February 2009, 02:07:01 PM »
Peristiwa yang mengejutkan terjadi di seluruh dunia dan tidak banyak yang ditulis atau diberitakan di Barat. Minggu lalu di Saudi Arabia sebuah penampakan yang menakjubkan yang mungkin adalah UFO, kemungkinan jatuh ke Bumi, dan disaksikan oleh paling tidak jutaan orang di wilayah tersebut. Ada banyak foto dan video yang muncul mengenai obyek tersebut.Forum berbahasa Arab dijejali dengan pengakuan penduduk Saudi yang mengaku menyaksikan apa yang oleh beberapa orang disebut sebagai UFO yang menghantam Bumi atau UFO itu hanya melakukan manuver untuk membuat orang-orang ketakutan. Lainnya menganggap bahwa obyek tersebut adalah asteroid atau satelit. Para saksi mata dilaporkan menunggu penjelasan dari kantor meteorologi setempat namun belum ada jawaban dari sana.
Pada Rabu 7 Januari lalu setelah sholat Isya’ terdapat suara keras yang terdengar di langit disusul dengan penampakan sinar yang sangat terang yang muncul dari barat di atas wilayah Al-Qasim yang letaknya di timur ibukota Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. Banyak warga setempat melihat meteor sebelumnya namun mereka mengatakan bahwa yang satu ini tidak sama dengan yang sudah-sudah: warnanya hijau biru dan menembakkan sinar laser hijau.
Salah seorang saksi mata Khalid berkata bahwa “Tidak ada yang pernah melihat sinar itu”.
Begitu mengejutkan peristiwa itu tidak menjadi berita di Barat. Banyak orang merasa ketakutan dan berdoa. beberapa orang mengirim pesan di internet mengingatkan bahwa ini mungkin tanda yang datang dari Tuhan untuk Kerajaan yang bersikap diam terhadap konflik di Gaza. Warga setempat di wilayah dimana obyek tersebut muncul mengatakan bahwa mereka mendengar ledakan dan merasakan getaran kuat yang menandakan bahwa obyek tersebut jatuh. Pemerintah Saudi tidak merilis informasi berkenaan dengan peristiwa ini namun dilaporkan mereka menutup area tersebut.

Diskusi Umum / [ask again]4 hal yg tidak harus dipikirkan
« on: 18 January 2009, 11:00:28 AM »
diambil dari postingan pak hudoyo
Sang Buddha sendiri berkata, ada 4 hal yang seharusnya tidak dipikir-pikir karena bisa membuat orang menjadi gila:
1. asal mula alam semesta
2. seluk-beluk karma
3. hakikat jhana
4. hakikat seorang yang tercerahkan (buddha).
apa ini benar2 ajaran buddha?
bukankah buddha mengajarkan kebenaran?
kenapa mesti tidak dipertanyakan sama muridnya.
kalau ada istilah, kalau tahu jawabannya yah , jawab saja apa susahnya sih.
jadinya seperti agama sebelah, yg ada yg tidak boleh ditanyakan.
seharusnya semua pertanyaan dan jawaban akan membawah kita lebih jauh ke pencerahan, tidak sebaliknya menurut saya
kalau buddha bisa melihat kelahirannya yg sebelumnya dan masa yg akan datang sampai bergitu jauh
kenapa tidak menceritakan jaman sekarang. manusia harus bagaimana menghadapi krisis imam?
maksudnya dengan kata2 yg lebih moderen. yg bisa lebih gampang dipahamin gitu T_T
atau buddha mengangap remeh manusia jaman sekarang, sampai harus tunggu jaman maitreya datang.
maaf kalau pertanyaan bodoh ini oleh orang bodoh ini

Arsitektur Buddhis / 10 Most Wonderful Temples of the World
« on: 24 December 2008, 11:54:49 AM »
1 - Tiger's Nest Monastery, perched precariously on the edge of a 3,000-feet-high cliff in Paro Valley, is one of the holiest places in Bhutan
2 - Wat Rong Khun in Chiang Mai, Thailand is unlike any Buddhist temples in the world.
3 - Prambanan is a Hindu temple in Central Java, Indonesia. The temple was built in 850 CE, and is composed of 8 main shrines and 250 surrounding smaller ones
4 - No one knows exactly when the Shwedagon Paya [wiki] (or Pagoda) in Myanmar was built - legend has it that it is 2,500 years old though archaeologists estimate that it was built between the 6th and 10th century.
5 - Temple of Heaven is a Taoist temple in Beijing, the capital of China. The temple was constructed in 14th century by Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty
6 - Chion-in Temple was built in 1234 CE to honor the founder of Jodo (Pure Land) Buddhism, a priest named Honen, who fasted to death in the very spot
7 - In the 19th century, Dutch occupiers of Indonesia found a massive ancient ruin deep in the jungles of Java. What they discovered was the complex of Borobudur, a gigantic structure built with nearly 2 million cubic feet (55,000 m³) of stones. The temple has nearly 2,700 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues.
8 - The Harmandir Sahib (meaning The Abode of God) or simply the Golden Temple [wiki] in Punjab, India is the most sacred shrine of Sikhism.
9 - The Temple of Srirangam (Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple [wiki]), in the Indian city of Tiruchirapalli (or Trichy), is the largest functioning Hindu temple in the world (Ankor Wat is the largest of all temple, but it is currently non-functioning as a temple - see below).
10 - Last but definitely not least is the largest temple in history and the inspiration to countless novels and action movies of Hollywood: Ankor Wat.
