Laughing Buddha and myth etc. / Buddhist masters and 8 Regeln etc.

d.48

The popular figure of Budai, also known as the Laughing Buddha, is often mistaken for the historical Gautama Buddha. However, Budai was in fact a Chinese monk named Qieci who is said to have lived around the 10th century. He is typically depicted as an overweight, bald man with a protruding pot belly.

What is the story behind Laughing Buddha? - Contrary to common misconception, Laughing Buddha is not the same as Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. Instead, he is based on an eccentric Chinese monk who lived during the Liang Dynasty in China. This monk, named Budai, was known for his benevolent nature, wisdom, and jovial personality.04.01.2024

What is the myth of Laughing Buddha? - He is distinguished from other Buddhist deities by his happy personality and eccentric wandering lifestyle. In Japan, Hotei became one of the “Seven Lucky Gods”, symbolizing prosperity and abundance. He is also popularly known as the “Laughing Buddha” due to his laughing or smiling countenance.25.08.2021
Welche Berufe kann ein Buddhist ausüben? - Die meisten konvertierten Buddhisten sind gut gebildet und viele sind Rechtsanwälte, Lehrer, Journalisten, Künstler oder Unternehmer.
Was sind die 8 Regeln des Buddhismus? - Dies, ihr Mönche, ist die edle Wahrheit von dem Weg, der hinf ü hrt zur Aufhebung des Leidens: Es ist dies der edle ,achtfache Pfad`, der da heißt: rechtes Glauben, rechtes Denken, rechtes Sprechen, rechtes Tun, rechtes Leben, rechtes Streben, rechte Konzentration, rechtes Sich-Versenken."

Was darf man als Buddhist nicht machen? - Wie wird man Buddhist?
  • Kein Lebewesen zu töten oder zu verletzen.
  • Nichtgegebenes nicht zu nehmen.
  • Keine unheilsamen sexuellen Beziehungen zu pflegen und sich im rechten Umgang mit den Sinnen zu üben.
  • Nicht zu lügen oder unheilsam zu reden.
  • Das Bewusstsein nicht durch berauschende Mittel zu trüben.

30.12.2009 - Interpretation of dali48 + update
Pilot whales stranded in New Zealand. - 125 dead animals! - "It was the pain and the sorrow in their eyes"! ...
The causes of the repeated stranding of whales have not yet been clarified conservationist Steve Bolten said the pilot whales of Coromandel may be sick or have been disturbed in their tracking system (see e.g. sonar of ships, etc. - d.48)! ...
This could have resulted in up to 8.5 m long animals fell into the shallow bays from which they no longer found out and eventually stranded! ... (Rhinish Post, 29.12.2009)
The Coromandel Peninsula lies in the North Island of New Zealand. It is part of the Waikato Region and Thames-Coromandel District and extends 85 kilometres north from the western end of the Bay of Plenty, forming a natural barrier to protect the Hauraki Gulf and the Firth of Thames in the west from the Pacific Ocean to the east. At its broadest point, it is 40 kilometres wide. Almost the entire population lies on the narrow strips along the Hauraki Gulf and Bay of Plenty coasts. The country's biggest city, Auckland, lies on the far shore of the Hauraki Gulf, 55 kilometres to the west. The peninsula is clearly visible from the city in fine weather. A small but unexplained fish kill of snapper occurred near the Coromandel Peninsula on 4 January 2010! - There has been speculation that the fish "were starving because of weather conditions", but the Ministry of Fisheries is conducting its own investigation. The Ministry advised that it was not safe to eat the dead fish! - The area was formerly known largely for its hardrock gold mining and kauri industries, but is now a mecca for tourism, especially ecotourism ... (Wikipedia)
Coromandel, Neuseeland
[get directions] Pilot whales beached in New Zealand - 125 animals dead ...
Why did the pilot whales beach themselves? - The pilot whale that beached itself in 1973 was infested with thousands of parasitic nematodes that may have eaten away at its blowhole. Shamsi said the parasite infestation could have limited the whale's ability to navigate, leading it to accidentally swim to the beach.16.08.2024
Why do whales beach themselves in New Zealand? - Sick, distressed or dying whales, or mothers having difficulty giving birth may come into shallow water and strand. This is especially the case for single whales or mother/calf pairs. For mass strandings, strong social bonds may lead to a herd following a sick or disorientated pod member into trouble.
Why did whaling stop in NZ? - Conservation. Since 1978, whales within New Zealand's 200-nautical-mile (370 km) exclusive economic zone have been protected under the Marine Mammals Protection Act 1978. Killing a whale or other cetacean is punishable by up to six months imprisonment, or a fine of up to NZ$250,000.
W.G.G. 16 April via Cool Social App - see "The population of the eel has already decreased by 95% (a remainder of 5% to extinction etc. - d.48)! - Every eel on the plate endangers the survival of the whole species ... (Rhinish Post, 03.12.2009)
Are eels becoming endangered? - As a result, the European eel is now listed as 'critically endangered' on the IUCN Red List. Other potential causes include parasites and changes to the course of the Gulf Stream. Poaching (illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing) and the illegal export of eels to Asia are additional pressing concerns.
Why isn t eel sustainable? - Unagi's popularity – combined with the increase in global sushi consumption plus other environmental stresses like habitat loss – has given rise to mounting conservation concerns about wild eel stocks. In addition, disease reportedly occurs frequently, and chemical use is high, including the use of banned chemicals.
What is the biggest threat to eels? - Eels face a number of threats including pollution, environmental changes and overfishing. Dams and other mechanisms threaten eel habitat and migration corridors.09.09.2021
see dali48 and dying bees (neonics etc.) and "Flora & Fauna" since ca. 2000 etc. - "Man produces evil - as Bees produce honey" ... (W. Golding)

Complete ban on bee killing pesticides moves forward

21.12.2024 — Government sets out plans to end the use of toxic neonicotinoid pesticides that threaten vital pollinators.
"God wants us to help the animals - where ever it is necessary" ... (Francis of Assisi)
"Fischozid": Far more than 1000 billion fish are killed by humans every year - Vegan.eu. www.vegan.eu The website www.fishcount.org.uk has the merit of providing science-based studies and facts ...
How many fish died? - At least one trillion fish are killed each year for commercial consumption. Some fish harvesting uses controversial methods like suffocation in air, carbon-dioxide stunning, or ice chilling that have been called inhumane by many organizations such as the World Organisation for Animal Health.
Is overfishing really a problem? - Over-fishing puts more than one-third of all sharks, rays, and chimaeras at risk of extinction. More than one-third of all sharks, rays, and chimaeras are now at risk of extinction because of over-fishing, according to a new study re-assessing their IUCN Red List of Threatened Species extinction risk status.
