Discussing Dhamma in EK

[kalyanamithra]

Dear Non-Buddhist friends,

Please forgive my 'discrimination' here, because the content is probably useful only to Buddhists friends... Thanks

Dear Buddhist friends,

I am opening this thread to caution all of you who like to discuss Dhamma in this forum... I am stating this publicly because it's probably better to know and discuss these things...

I have only few months of experience in EK; so one may accuse that I am stating this without proper analysis/evidence... But I believe I see a certain pattern that we have to be aware of if we do not want to be distracted again and again...

As you may have also noted, every time we focus on discussing deep aspects of Dhamma
- there comes a person with controversial views on Buddhism; even as non-Buddhists claiming to know Buddhism better!
Please refrain from mentioning the individuals... or specific incidence... as you may agree our intention should be correcting our approach and not criticizing others...
- we (many including me) tend to counter his/her arguments fearing propagation of wrong impressions or merely because it hurts our 'pride'
- it causes new threads/posts to be more and more defensive; because of which they tend to move away from Dhamma; in other words we get distracted...

I think I've noted this thrice in my short stay in EK; one can easily check what I say by looking at how scope of threads changed in the past couple of months...

We should expect this pattern to continue...

I am wondering if we (I mean those wanting to help one another to discuss Dhamma) can agree
- how to counter (if needed at all) these 'useless' threads without getting distracted
- what to discuss with higher priority
so that most of us would benifit...

Theruwan saranai!

Pinwath mithura,

You are always welcome my friend...

My concern was about those of us trying to compare religions; merge concepts of in different religions; etc... Such things give rise to nothing but disputes...

When we try to answer such threads we are unduly wasting the time which could have been spent for a better purpose... That's why I was wondering if we should as a whole change the strategy...

Theruwan saranai!
