Because in the past when I discussed this with them weren’t helpful and in fact just exposed me to more material that made it all worse.
Like this quote from the page:
‘The experiences of the son of a childless woman do not exist. This meditation gives us everything.’
So, the answer given to a question about worthless gibberish is worthless gibberish? Shocker.
It’s been years since I studied Buddhism, but that quote is fully consistent with other statements that I’ve seen. Contemplating paradox is a common element in meditation.
Are you familiar with the works of the Great Master Terry Pratchett?
You can never understand Buddhism - or any other religion, for that matter - by reading random blog posts and random bits of scripture.
If you seriously want to learn about Buddhist scriptures from an academic perspective (rather than from a Buddhist perspective), then do this free online course from Harvard University, or something similar.
Harvard University:
Buddhism Through Its Scriptures
4 week course, 5-10 hours per week, self-paced, FREE.
I thought the OP was about something along the lines of the saying from Zen Buddhism made famous by the well known monk Donovan:
“First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.”
I.e., obviously a mountain is real, but reality is an illusion so it’s not, but that illusion is what reality is made of so it is. (Or something like that.)
But seeing the remarks being posted I checked the OP’s link and then read further. Nope, doesn’t even come close to anything like this.
A major disconnect between the OP and the Sutra being discussed.
That doesn’t really apply in this case, or with what I linked.
There isn’t, they don’t show it because they literally warn people about what it can do to you.
Hence why I didn’t want to read it.
And also how I can tell that people on here have not read the link that I posted.
Or maybe the rest of us here aren’t irredeemably gullible to deepity useless mental masturbation. I read the heart sutra and rolled my eyes (sutra) on how so many millions of people can be so deluded into thinking that crap like that is profound, meaningful, or important.
So why this thread?
Buddhist clickbait:
This one simple sutra will blow your mind!
Are you sure you read it? I mean those who speak of it claim it’s profoundly life changing. That’s part of the reason I don’t dismiss Buddhism easily as it seems to change folks who practice it which means it must have some level of truth to it right?
No.
Yes, Buddhism changes folks who practice it…
Also:
Christianity changes folks who practice it…
Judaism changes folks who practice it…
Islam changes folks who practice it…
Hinduism changes folks who practice it…
Scientology changes folks who practice it…
Atheism changes folks who practice it…
Science changes folks who practice it…
Art changes folks who practice it…
Philosophy changes folks who practice it…
Psychotherapy changes folks who practice it…
… whether for the better or for the worse, is another question. 
If only there had been an ancient Asian Ned Flanders to take care of that.
Oh, doesn’t it? :dubious:
You seem to have a very transaction-based approach toward philosophy and religion, Machinaforce. It’s all about how it benefits me, me, me. Instead of worrying about what Buddhism can do for you, how about you start thinking about what you can do for Buddhism?
Is the glass that is already broken half full or half empty?
