160422: Buddhism, reducing suffering and panentheism
What does Buddhism reinforce about the significance of existence, life?
Buddhism gives us the understanding that the significance of life and the impact it generates is so important that we must focus upon reducing suffering, the negative aspects of life.
The idea of all humans having a soul is tied to eternity and provides a whole new way of looking at the individual.
Now the individual is not important because they are alive, but rather the individual is important because the individual is tied to eternity.
This idea of being connected to eternity changed the direction of our behavior.
A tie to eternity meant we needed to consider our action because our actions now might affect our state of existence later.
Why this was so was not totally understood, but Buddhists sensed this to be true.
As such, Buddhists further opened up the idea that life was significant and allowing suffering in life would have a major impact upon existence in eternity.
In short, Buddhism further advanced the concept that life had value, significance.
As we increase the idea regarding how big our universe is and in turn how big our Creator is, we enlarge what we view as the potential of existence.
It is panentheism which rationalizes how it is the physical universe can be limited to infinite space and time while being immersed within infinite knowing/infinite ethereal timelessness since time is found within the physical, within the physical universe and thus is where it is eternity is found to exist.
The Buddhist ideas were very significant, therefore, in terms of reinforcing the significance of life.
Now suffering, a part of life itself, was no longer to be taken lightly or just ignored for its existence impacted upon eternity and it is panentheism which provides the rational model of reality capable of reinforcing Buddhistic concept.
Life under Buddhism took on a greater significance and one aspect of life, suffering, became a focal point and it is panentheism which significantly reinforces Buddhism’s principle of reducing suffering.
