    It sounds like you think,
    That change is change in word only.
    Maybe you aren't being straight with me.

    Buddhists believe in conscientious objection.

    The sense of right over wrong is paradoxical,
    Because we naturally crave it without craving it.

    The sense of right over wrong,
    Precedes any reasoning or learning.
    Reasoning and learning can actually lead people,
    To forget following their conscience.

    I seriously doubt if you would recognize straight if you saw it. Your incoherent ramblings do not appear to have a point and are devoid of all logic. Have another toke and enjoy samsara.

    Wow really? Too bad, because I'm going to have to ignore this crap, because it is your opinion, and not what I have felt out in this life. Nature is not really in accordance with right and wrong. Still, your conception of all this, including what Buddhism is and isn't, seems very off from the truth.

    Good day, sir. You decide what it contains for yourself, and I regress from this semantic game of your, and many other's, speculations.

    Actually, that's the least silly thing he said. The Dalai Lama has said that he might decide not to reincarnate. It is his choice, after all.

    A noble one, but if Hinduism is right, his soul will anyways, perhaps to the non-earth level of holiness.... Transcend this bullshit.

    If Non-dualism is not dualistic,
    Then what is it, a container for meaning?
    This still implies that Buddhists,
    Desire what they believe is meaningful over meaningless.

    Treating non-dualism as meaningless is meaningful to Buddhists so that they don't crave it?

    Preference is endowed as part of the condition of embodiment. We have a comfort range hovering around 98 degrees. We are real, this fact is not a philosophic conundrum.

    How convenient of him to 'choose' not to reincarnate.

    I have no idea what you mean. Can you explain your comment?

    So,
    The inherent desire of meaning over meaninglessness involves using words (which symbolize meaning),
    But who we are, is the unexplainable change in the meaning of words?
    So, the Dalai Lama changes the meaning of Buddhism?

    If I've changed the meaning of your words, please explain.

    There is no desire for meaning over meaninglessness, desire is temperate. Words are symbols for conditions.
    No.
    No, you give the world all the meaning it has for you.

    I'm having a hard time following this thread. Excuse my ignorance, but can someone elaborate on what dualism or (binary) would mean in Buddhism?

    You are right, this thread is pretty incomprehensible. it might be better to start a new thread. Anyway..

    Forget "binary". It's not a Buddhist term.

    Dualism is simply the idea that every definition implies the existence of its opposite. You can't have "up" unless there's a "down" somewhere. You can't have left without right, light without dark, or good without bad.
