to still really rare stuff

"...fierce, hairy, apelike and morbid Vajrayana ascetic" is this a description of yourself?

"...Vajrayana path" yes, this was the one where the ascetic beat himself on the back with thorny branches and starves himself to death so his brain chemicals will be out of whack, so he can see visions.

Verily, I say to you, moderation in all things...including moderation. That is the only way to enlightenment.

Stealing corpses...that's not going to get you far towards enlightenment.

SPRNZ,

That not so strange. I know a few women that enjoy making love in front of their infant child. Some girls like to be naughty.

Moonshineprincess,

That is very selfish of your friend to masturbate in public.

I know a lot of girls that can't sit still in their seat. Alway fidgiting in class blocking the black board. I don't think they were masturbating either. Their face had the impetutios look. Not a content bedroom eyes happy look.

MLK,

How would a women know about the lip thing. Wouldn't you need a few mirror to do the comparison?

Jeez, you really load your question, don't you? The subject is so vast, how could I possibly even go into it and do it any justice on GS? I will try to boil it down (what little I've learned thus far) as much as I can, but for sure, I will miss 99% of what's the essence of the teachings, but I will try my best. OK, here goes.

The major difference between Christianity and Buddhism (at least from my very limited and ignorant point of view) is that Christianity is an external religion and Budhism is an internal one. (This is complicated so I'll get into it in more detail later if you really want to dissect it down to its basic layers).

Like Christianity, Buddhism has many layers for all the different levels of humanity. If you are a mental peasant, you follow level #1, which is the same for both Christianity and Buddhism. It's the basic building blocks of all worthwhile religions of the world, sort of like your Basic Humanity 101. Thou shalt not kill, not steal, not commit adultery, etc.

Once you get past the Freshman levels of not hurting others, you go on to the more advanced Sophomore layers of not hurting yourself. This is more complicated than it sounds, because we all tend to hurt ourselves in so many ways that we don't even realize. (more on this later, if you are even interested).

The next set of layers, your Junior year, has to do with helping others, which is where Buddhism and Christianity begin to divide in methodology and ideology.
And, if you haven't guessed by now, the final set of layers is the Senior one, how to help yourself, which is where the true difference between the two religions begin. I say 'begin' because I don't know where it ends, if it ends, or if it actually merges at the final outcome. I don't even know of anyone personally who's even at this level (other than Buddha and Jesus Christ, and I don't know them personally, so...here's where I'm going to have to defer to others, more advanced to give input). Again, each of these layers require decades and decades (dare I say, lifetimes and lifetimes?) of learning and practicing to master and advance.

However, this is Best and Worst of Dating Asians, and I don't think the Editors are going to allow me to rant and rave and preach a long-assed boring post about world religions. I could get into it in more depth and detail if we go somewhere safe, (where the Editors can't buzz us out) like Leading Bi-cultural Lives or something. We'd be more in sync with the board topic.
