Controversy
is
a state of prolonged public dispute or debate, usually concerning a
matter of conflicting opinion
or
point of view. The word was coined from the Latin
controversia,
as a composite of controversus
–
"turned in an opposite direction," from contra–
"against" – and vertere
–
to turn, or versus
(see
verse),
hence, "to turn against."
The
most applicable or well known controversial subjects, topics or areas
are politics,
religion
and
sex.Other
areas of controversy
include history
and
philosophy.
Other minor yet prominent areas of controversy are economics,
science,
finances,
culture,
education,
the military,
society,celebrities,organisation,
the media,
age,
gender,
and race.
Controversy in matters of theology
has
traditionally been particularly heated, giving rise to the phrase
odium
theologicum.
Controversial issues are held as potentially divisive in a given
society, because they can lead to tension and ill will, as a result
they are often taboo
to
be discussed in the light of company in many cultures.
In our world today we always have this culture to find what's wrong and make that a controversy, in Buddhism like in other path that world wide sports and the west got the gold medal for that.
We like to debate on
what is wrong or not, we are like in Judge dredd in this world
perfectly pure, but we will judge who make mistakes in this world.
I don't say that good
nor bad, but wait a minutes in stead to act like sheep, first we
have to say who have clean hands in this world ?
Raise your hands all of
us have not clean hands we making all something wrong by one way or
another, we all subject in law of karma cause and effect, no worry
the wheel of sharp weapons will come back by one way or another.
I think what is
important is to find a good way for those who practice find the good
Lama the one we trust can be not just one lama yeah is all about that
identify who's the one we have to follow like Tilopa and Naropa or
Marpa and Milarepa, that for the path of spirituality.
In our daily life most
of the lama say we should not take position in gossip that only
brings us wrong deed, so all this controversy are not just more than
that, we spend a precious time doing this in stead of studding the
dharma for example, yeah all of that is waste of time and I have
decide to write this post because I want to open the eyes of those
who read hear, when we can do something to change this world that
good, when that makes only talk and gossiping is waste of time and
that no more than just another bad distraction make us do evil karma
again.
Be mindful about using your time, mind and energy in getting caught up in earthy/fleshly based matters.....Reflect on and practice The Dhamma in all things.....
