your first post doesnt sound like an assertion, it sounds like a hypothetical [it is either true and real or it is not]. Are you familiar with the two truths doctrine of buddhism, relative truth and absolute truth? "In relative truth you exist, in ultimate truth you do not" for example.
I still dont understand why you picked that nagarjuna quote? I agree that it is a statement from truth, but like many statements of zen it doesn't tell you HOW to get there. If you want to make "pointing out statements", why not make them instead of what sounds like an assertion that your treating as a hypothetical.
Also, as various people [the buddha, jaggi vasudev], believing in something gets you little or nothing, what really matters is to have it as your experience. Whats the Buddha's quote, "dont believe because it is written down, don't believe it because I said it, believe something only because you have seen it for yourself"?
You, or I for that matter, could stand here and assert the experiences or teachings of Buddhism all we want, "karma holds, reincarnation/rebirth/whatever-you-wanna-call-it" occurs, after death states look like_____, but you, or I, asserting them doesn't mean that all of the sudden other people are going to believe it. And even if they do, its at best a belief founded upon us saying it, not something that they have personally experienced.
Oh, and picking a quote that involves scaring children ["this frightens all children"], that hardly seems the way to open the minds of others who might have some interesting in Buddhism and its like. Again, I either don't see the point of your thread, or I do but think your not achieving it very well. I could say "Ommm ram ram" but its not like that's all of the sudden going to make people become Hindu. And if I wanted to state what I thought were meaningful, insightful, penetrating, or whatever points of Hinduism, I'd probably quote powerful lines of advanced people or from the whatever religious books.
I kind of feel like you were going to keep adding posts that contain additional quotes,
ones that I hope don't involve scaring children. I have an INTJ friend, whose a research scientist, and strongly Catholic. When I go see him he makes a point to tell me how Buddhism makes no sense to him whatsoever. He talks about "Buddhists always go around claiming they don't exist, or don't have a self, or somehow aren't real or something, its stupid and makes no sense to me. What a dumb non-sensical religion!" Do you somehow think that by posting lines referrring to lack of self that people are going to line up to be like "Yeah, that is so true! Right on Buddhism" or something? Sure there are people who have an interest in Buddhism and you might pique their interest, but come on there aren't THAT many people who fit that bill. And if you do want to teach THOSE people, I'd suggest getting training in some Buddhist group and then teaching in that group. Unless your trying to do some sort of general proselytizing? I agree, some people have "predispostions", and perhaps your hoping one of them will come across this and get "kicked" into practicing or something, but again there aren't THAT many of those people out there.
And if you are proselytizing, do we really want every religious group out there to start using this forum for that purpose???
