Beautiful Buddhism Oysters

More From Hector Hugh Munro

I think oysters are more beautiful than any religion,' he resumed presently. 'they not only forgive our unkindness to them; they justify it, they incite us to go on being perfectly horrid to them. once they arrive at the supper-table they seem to enter thoroughly into the spirit of the thing. there's nothing in christianity or buddhism that quite matches the sympathetic unselfishness of an oyster.
Beautiful Buddhism Thinking
Said one oyster to a neighboring oyster, "i have a very great pain within me. it is heavy and round and i am in distress." and the other oyster replied with haughty complacence, "praise be to the heavens and to the sea, i have no pain within me. i am well and whole both within and without." at that moment a crab was passing by and heard the two oysters, and he said to the one who was well and whole both within and without, "yes, you are well and whole; but the pain that your neighbor bears is a pearl of exceeding beauty."

If science proves some belief of buddhism wrong, then buddhism will have to change. in my view, science and buddhism share a search for the truth and for understanding reality. by learning from science about aspects of reality where its understanding may be more advanced, i believe that buddhism enriches its own worldview.

Students of the way must not study buddhism for the sake of themselves. they must study buddhism only for the sake of buddhism. the key to this is to renounce both body and mind without holding anything back and to offer them to the great sea of buddhism.

Christianity persecuted, tortured, and burned. like a hound it tracked the very scent of heresy. it kindled wars, and nursed furious hatreds and ambitions. it sanctified, quite like mohammedism, extermination and tyranny. all this would have been impossible if, like buddhism, it had looked only for peace and the liberation of souls. it looked beyond; it dreamt of infinite blisses and crowns it should be crowned with before an electrified universe and an applauding god... buddhism had tried to quiet a sick world with anesthetics; christianity sought to purge it with fire.

Buddhism does not accept a theory of god, or a creator. according to buddhism, one's own actions are the creator, ultimately. some people say that, from a certain angle, buddhism is not a religion but rather a science of mind.

It really was something, to see ram bahadur bomjon, apparently living without food or water. before i went on that trip i'd asked advice on it from a very wise person who i love and revere - basically trying to see if i was somehow disrespecting buddhism by trying to write about it, and also looking for some grounding on what stance to take ... and my friend said, "well, why don't you just go and see?" and i hear that in my head all the time now: "why don't you go and see?"
