An enlightened person can kill intentionally , sometimes we have to choose from lesser evil and greater evil.

There is no such evidence, are you a science graduate ?

Act of harm , doesn't mean desire to harm, a compassionate person can kill.

What is the 'current evidence' ?

Is it your realization or you believe it ?

Everything is happening is according to laws of existence , everything is as it should be.

@Subconscious94 A child is born full of life, children are very conscious. But we start cultivating them , we start curbing their freedom. We start imposing, "Do this, don′t do that." We start imposing do′s and don′ts on them. Soon they will forget all about freedom, soon they will start acting out of the past, pretending. Soon they will be no more alive. Ego is just a habit, a habit of ignorance, unconsciousness. If you drop it, it will come back in some other form. It cannot leave you - it is just an old habit of unconscious mind. Don't feed it, don't drop it, because in both ways you will be saving it. Just watch it, and you will not find it. Bringing awareness in means dissolving the body robot, its mechanicalness, creating awareness deep in the body. Awareness means dissolving the robot, awareness means unlearning the nonsense that has been taught by the society, bringing the mind closer and closer to the body, penetrating the body with awareness. Become more and more alert in small things. In drinking water, drink it with absolute alertness, as if everything depends on it. In that moment don’t do anything else. Taste the water, feel its coolness going down your throat. Feel the quenching of the thirst, feel the entry of the water in the body. In that moment only be that. Eating, do the same. In walking, sleeping, loving, remember one thing: the body has not to be used as a robot. It is not a machine, you are not the manipulator. Someone asked Buddha, ”How shall we meditate?” Buddha replied, ”Whatsoever you do, do it with awareness; this is meditation. Walking, walk attentively, as if walking is everything; eating, eat with awareness, as if eating is everything; rising, rise with awareness; sitting, sit with awareness; all your actions become conscious, your mind does not travel beyond this moment, it remains in the moment, settles in the moment – this is meditation.” Meditation is simply the name for life lived with awareness. This journey is vast, and you cannot be in a hurry. Speed is one of the great diseases of the modern man, because it has made impossible many things which can happen only in patience. If you are in a hurry, if you are in haste, you will never know the taste of meditation. The taste of meditation needs great patience.

When you will reach at higher states of consciousness, then you will know that everything is as it should be, everything is utterly perfect as it is. This is what enlightenment is. It is the understanding that all is good, that all is beautiful – and it is beautiful as it is. Everything is in tremendous harmony, in accord.

So, you were thinking that becoming a monk is fun ! ◄ Matthew 7:1 ► Jesus said: Don't judge others, and God won't judge you.

It is not natural instinct, it is your social conditioning. People who watch livestreamed gang rapes are not monks still people like watching violent sex, their conditioning is different. A Buddha knows that unawareness is the real problem , some people are involved in such activities, some people get the feeling to puke, both are unaware.

if you wannabe a monk, stop judging. Enlightenment is a simple realization that everything is as it should be.

@Key Elements @Snick Don't worry! It was posted for fun. India is land of mystics and enlightened persons, India had a golden past. It was one of the largest economies in the world before Britishers came , now again its economy is rising. India is a symbol for nothing else except for learning meditation. It is a university of meditation. And it is not just today – for centuries, it has been the university of mediation. It was hoax article from US based satirical news site.

Read Osho books on Tantra , they are available on internet for free.

Yes , Spirituality is very contagious but real transformation happens in presence of an enlightened master, if you are open and receptive. In the East, we have developed a science: if you cannot find a soul mate, you can create one. And that science is Tantra.

@Loreena Meditation is rest, absolute rest, a full stop to all activity - physical, mental, emotional. The key word is rest, relaxation.

Book can be corrupted, book can be written by others.

In a hospital you will always find sick people, if there is no sick people in a hospital, it can't be a hospital. World is a hospital, if somebody is cured, he never returns back.

India has produced hundreds of enlightened masters in his long history, but only Krishna is considered as complete incarnation of God, he abducted 16000 women. His message in 'GITA ' is most popular among all scriptures in India. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhagavad_Gita

@Annetta I have provided the link you can download it for free, you should know perspective of an enlightened master too. Excerpts from the Book : We enter on a rare pilgrimage. The Ten Bulls of Zen are something unique in the history of human consciousness. Truth has been expressed in many ways, and it has always been found that it remains unexpressed whatsoever you do. Howsoever you express it, it eludes, it is elusive. It simply escapes description. The words that you use for it cannot contain it. And the moment you have expressed, immediately you feel frustrated as if the essential has been left behind and only the nonessential has been expressed. The Ten Bulls of Zen have tried in a single effort to express the inexpressible. So first, something about the history of these ten bulls. Basically, there were eight pictures, not ten; and they were not Buddhist, they were Taoist. Their beginning is lost. Nobody knows how they started, who painted the first bulls. But in the twelfth century a Chinese Zen master, Kakuan, repainted them; and not only that, he added two more pictures, and eight became ten. The Taoist pictures were ending on the eighth; the eighth is emptiness, nothingness. But Kakuan added two new pictures. That is the very contribution of Zen to religious consciousness. When one moves on an inner journey one leaves the world, renounces all that hinders the path, renounces all that is nonessential so that the essential can be searched, sought. One tries to become unburdened so the journey can become easier, because the journey, this journey, is towards the height, the greatest height there is – the very pinnacle of human possibilities, the very climax. One leaves the world, one renounces the world; not only the world – one renounces the mind, because the mind is the cause of the whole world. The world of desires, the world of possessions, is just the outer part. The inner part is the mind: the desiring mind, the lustful mind, the jealous, competitive mind, the mind full of thoughts; that is the seed. One renounces the outer, one renounces the inner, one becomes empty – that’s what meditation is all about. One becomes totally empty. But is this the end? The Taoist pictures ended with nothingness. Kakuan says this is not the end – one comes back to the world, one comes back to the marketplace; only then is the circle complete. Of course, one comes totally new. One never comes with the old; the old is gone, gone forever. One comes totally renewed, resurrected, reborn – as if this man had never gone; as if this man is coming totally fresh and virgin. One comes back to the world and again one lives in the world yet lives beyond it. Again one becomes ordinary – chopping wood, carrying water from the well, walking, sitting, sleeping – one becomes absolutely ordinary. Deep inside, the emptiness remains uncorrupted. One lives in the world but the world is not in your mind, the world is not within you. One lives untouched, like a lotus flower.

The book I have suggested is from an enlightened master, it is more valuable, if you are a real seeker of truth.

Enlightenment can't be understood, even message given by a Buddha, a Jesus is misunderstood. All enlightened masters have failed , all religions have failed because we can't understand. Enlightenment debate can lead to misunderstanding and understanding both, it all depends on you.

@Annetta Lectures On The Ten Oxherding Pictures by Osho is compiled in his book "The Search". http://www.oshorajneesh.com/download/osho-books/zen/The_Search.pdf (Download in pdf format , it's free)

You are not a Hitler only because you are powerless, all you morality is a social politics, so that you can adjust in society. You are champion of morality not because you are aware , conscious like a Buddha.

You are wrong, if Leo has power like Hitler , he can kill more people. If Hitler had knowledge of spirituality like Leo, he would have become enlightened.

Ruining life of his family members was a bad Karma but it was necessary to spread a message in the world. Sometimes we have to choose from lesser evil and greater evil.
