well then if you acknowledge that you have sex then that means you desire sex right???....you don't believe in reincarnation....yet you think you are a Buddhist.....
I practice a real world type of Buddhism.....I have acknowledged that I do not practice Buddhism as a religion....I do not believe in religion per se, and I do not believe in re-incarnation....I practice a psychological Buddhism.....a way of life....any religion that tells you not to have sex loses me right away....and again there is nothing wrong with desire..you act as if having sex with your girlfriend is wrong..its not.....you can have desire without attachment to that desire..so that it does not become an obssession
You are failing to read what I am typing.
1. I acknowledge the fact that enlightenment is impossible without abandoning the desire for sex.
2. I believe in enlightenment, simply in a metaphorical form of it that is common among Buddhists.
No one is perfect. Not you nor I. However, The first step is admitting that you are wrong, but if YOU can't ever admit that sexual desire prevents you from achieving enlightenment in Buddhism then you aren't a Buddhist. Simple as that.
I'm not saying that sex is "wrong". I'm just saying that, IN BUDDHISM, enlightened beings don't have sex. They don't have the desire for sex and they don't have sex because sex, a bodily pleasure, prevents enlightenment in the first place.
That is why Monks are celibate. It is for a very important reason.
You disagree with this basic Buddhist belief...That's fine by me...But please stop claiming you are a Buddhist.
I don't disagree with the belief, I strive towards it even though I am not perfect...I acknowledge that it is a fact in Buddhist teachings that can't be denied.
Same goes for killing living beings. If you kill living beings, without regret or remorse and intend to do it again and again...You certainly are no Buddhist.
