Wow Noah you cut your hair! Second that i...First. Wow Noah you cut your hair! Second that is actually pretty interesting. Really the comparisons between the Jedi understanding of "the Force" and Buddhism doesn't end there. For example it is believed that when followers of the light die they become one with the force and basically fade into oblivion, kind of like in Buddhism. Some individuals, however, maintain their individuality and have the ability to manifest as force ghosts to guide others after death. Not unlike the bodhisattvas of Buddhism, who are individuals that hold back form become a Buddha so as to guide others to enlightenment.

Star Wars reference! How unrelated. Right?
Ri...Ahh. Star Wars reference! How unrelated. Right?<br />Right?<br />Well, what religion do we often associate philosophy with? Buddhism, right? And what fact do we know about the force that the supposed horrendous prequels provided us with? It is facilitated by metachlorians. This is very interesting, because although fans like to ostracize Lucas's choice to explain the force. However, many researchers of Buddhism have purported that there is indeed a chemical that some buddhists believe to exist in our bodies, and the increasing amount thereof confirms the higher caliber of connectedness. An example of a proven chemical that is related is Vesicular Monoamine Transporter 2. Just a thought! So, interesting comparison.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13664531151723236906noreply@blogger.com
