Re: The Noble Eightfold Path vs. The Ten Commandments
Well, there's one of your fundamental philosophical differences between Buddhism and many other belief systems. Buddhism teaches that suffering is caused by our attachment to ephemeral and/or material things and that it is this attachment that keeps us within the self-perpetuating cycle of Samsara.1. detach yourself from Your possessions, so what? It basically means detach yourself from being ruled by them, so you can act more efficiently in the market Place, I don't want People to be detached, I want People to be Attached, they should KNOW and be involved With where their material posessions come from, how they came about and so on
