I have been a buddhist like others for 34 years and started practicng after that. These two lives before and after are totally different.
Having Buddha's teaching with you and practicing are entirely different.
Dhamma dhara and Dhammavihari are different.
If we do not practice Buddha's Dhamma we can excel any other national who practice same because we have a Buddhist base. But if we do not practice Dhamma we are second to any who follow any other accepted religion.
Preserving a serum and drinking it makes the difference.
I know the difference by my own experience.

Ranga_Kurunegala said:the Bridge idea is not good. It will be easy to flood indians looking for jobs. Like in Middle East. here in Midle East is full of Indians. They will work for very less money. just to buy a roti is enough for them.
Reshmi85 said:India deserves that respect... We have received our Dynasty from India..and Two major religions... It will be very good for travelers between two countries... There was a talk about a bridge between two countries... if that happens, nothing like that.. It's really good news..
Yes, we should... but who would...sanzilla jackcat said:Yes machan Sri lanka is for our ppl . Sri lanka should have hi-tech companies here, may be we can change the era of technology and computing. But machan we should use the sri lankan expertise.
No indian Employees ! or terr !
You don't have to get indians here... They are already here...sanzilla jackcat said:we just lightly respect that relationship but nothing more that that . that
bridge will be never created , so sorry !
And indians are not smart than us ! and I here never said that we thinks
we are smarter than indians. There should be a respect for a employee ,
therefore why we get indians to sri lanak ? This is our country and I am
a citizan in sri lanka. So indians should get their mind back 'come and work
in sri lanka jobs'. Here in sri lanka there are high expertese and high salaries but in india low expertise and low salaries. that's the difference.
It's better we not mixed each other !
</p>I have some friends who practice Vipassana-Satipatthana meditations. But they refuse to discuss Dhamma till I practice. They say it is a waste of time trying to intelectualize what we should and can directly practice. But before I practice I would like to know more about it... Can you please elaborate a bit....AtulaSiriwardane said:Indians live according to their religions much more than us. The way to develop pragna (Satipatthana-Vipassana) is only available in Buddha dhamma. I other religions only Seela Samadhi is there. That smadhi also is not Samma samadhi.
One who has pragna has the ability to see something in relation to the whole. So a proper buddhist who practices Smma sati-Samma Samadhi practically can excel others easilly.
