  4. Re:Finally. on Computer Games Make Players Less Violent · · Score: 1

    it's not only about violence. When I have something bothering in mind, it's hard to see as it needs the appropriate environment to show. However, when I play PES, I can easily see that my strategy and my moves reflected clearly in the game, thus I can adjust and calm myself. The downside is I'm utilizing it too much to the point that I switched to an easier level (from 4 stars to 2 stars) to use the game as a relaxing therapy.

  5. This has been known for thousand years on Why Don't You Sleep On It? · · Score: 1

    people truly into Buddhism all know that the Buddha taught something similar to this. Basically, our mind are like mirrors, thoughts are dust. If we keep our mind busy with thoughts, just like the mirror with dust cannot reflect things clearly and exactly the way they are (we always look at things with values: right or wrong, good or bad ...).

    That's why there is meditation to purify your mind, to help you regconize thoughts and mind, not to involve with them, and to sense things as they are without bias. With a pure mind, a lot problems can be solved effectively much more than you can think of. Yet, this is an incorrect reason to come to Buddism. Buddism is not just problem solving.

    It's a funny thing that although I'm not talking science (sound like religious), science is gradually proving what the Buddha said are true (brain scanning of meditating monks ...). Look like there are several ways to knowledge. Buddha is any people who archive the purest mind, and just look at all the knowledge of Buddha, I guess there is no limit for a purest mind.
