Permanence, Spinoza, Buddhism

Spinoza teaches that we should look for something permanent but " Buddhism teaches that such a quest is bound to fail. " ? Where does he teach that?

Nirvana IS permanent! The whole point of Buddhism is to disover what the Buddha in the Nikayas calls "the unborn" - that which transcends time. Let alone the Mahayana sutras who directly speak of the Nirvanic state as BLISS, THE SELF (Atman), and PERMANENT, ETERNAL, PURE. (Mahaparanirvana Sutra)

I think that something about philosophy of Zen and other non-traditional Buddhist sects should be written.Taw

Many philosophers of Zen would maintain that Zen is anti-philosophy. :-)

I would like to see something about commonly practiced forms of Buddhism, such as Nichiren Buddhism, Tendai and Nembutsu. [bddougie]

(Nichiren Buddhism, Tendai Buddhism, Nembutsu Buddhism).

To my knowledge, the Buddha clearly states in the Pali Suttas that there is no self or soul (anatta). - Clive

I just made some pretty sweeping changes; the existing description was questionable on several points and vague on most, and I did my best to make clear some of the basic issues. However, this is still massively underdeveloped.कुक्कुरोवाच

The fact is that philosophy is different from religion and therefore should not be merged.

vegetarian

A bot changed [[vegetarian]]s to [[vegetarianism|vegetarians]], since the former is a double-redirect. It was reverted back to the double-rd -- I'm not sure why. I changed it back. If you think it should be [[vegetarian]]s again, let's discuss. Quadell (talk) 13:31, Jul 15, 2004 (UTC)

Noumena

@Earcanal: I'd love to see sources for your statement "IMHO The Buddha said that these 'noumena' are knowable via meditative states."
