Einstein sobre el Budismo

"La religión del futuro será una religión cósmica. Deberá transcender al Dios personal y evitar el dogma y la teología. Tendrá que abarcar tanto lo natural como lo espiritual, y deberá estar basado en un sentido religioso que surja a partir de la experiencia de todas las cosas naturales y espirituales como una unidad significativa. El Budismo responde a esta descripción. Si existe alguna religión que pueda satisfacer las necesidades científicas modernas, es el Budismo."

Carl Sagan meets the Dalai Lama

Esto contó Carl en una entrevista acerca de su charla con el Dalai:

Well, when I talk to religious leaders, one thing I always ask them is: What would you do if a fundamental tenet of your religion was definitively disproved by science? And, at least in the West, and especially among fundamentalist religions, the tendency is to say, "Science couldn't possibly," or, "My religion is an absolute truth, and if science gets different answers, too bad for science." The Dalai Lama's answer was: "If science found a serious error in Tibetan Buddhism, of course we would change Tibetan Buddhism." So I tried to push him on this issue. Suppose it was something basic? Suppose, for instance, it was reincarnation? And the Dalai Lama said to me, "If science can disprove reincarnation, Tibetan Buddhism would abandon reincarnation." And then he said, "But it's going to be mighty hard to disprove reincarnation."

La vida al revés

The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death. What’s that, a bonus?!?! I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you go live in an old age home. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You drink alcohol, you party, and you get ready for high school. You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities. You become a little baby, you go back, spend your last 9 months floating with luxuries like central heating, spa, room service on tap, then you finish off as an orgasm! Amen

Fierros y su significado

"The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds."

Mi tipo de mujer

Por qué imagino a mi media naranja como una chica triste? Será porque la tristeza es tan profunda? No lo se, lo único que se es que Quiero hacerte feliz!



Amo tu sonrisa.

Manzana que la tenía clara Schopenhauer

Querer es esencialmente sufrir, y como vivir es querer, toda vida es por esencia dolor. Cuanto más elevado es el ser, más sufre... La vida del hombre no
es más que una lucha por la existencia, con la certidumbre de resultar vencido... La vida es una cacería incesante, donde los seres, unas veces cazadores y otras cazados, se disputan las piltrafas de una horrible presa. Es una historia natural del dolor, que se resume así: querer sin motivo, sufrir siempre, luchar de continuo y después morir... Y así sucesivamente por los siglos de los siglos, hasta que nuestro planeta se haga trizas.
