Best ways in handling stress

that analysis of time was a lil short off mark and quite inadequate. great philosophers including the buddha were not able to define time, so that definitive answer on the flow of time was a lil haughty imo.
......................................................................................................

Zalim Ji, good to see you my friend. How are you doing? Your presence always gives me pleasure. Here we met again :).

I value your comment. I have posted only scientific aspect of time, I am not aware of its any philosophical aspects. Please feel free to share if you know more about time; don't you think that I deserve to learn? :)

To me time is a physical quantity, which is defined by people for their convinience. Every single difinantion is man made.

Buddha was more scientist and less philosopher. As per my understanding he never talked about any philosophical things ever. Abhidhamma is more philosophical in Buddhis and many scholars doubt it to be Buddha's words. This is the line which divides Mahayana and Theravada. Buddha was very staright forward person. He hardly used any metaphors in his teaching because he believed those metaphors would create confusion. He was so straight forward and always considered philosophy as a hinder in the path of meditation.

I remember one occasion when Buddha was asked how much time was "Kalpa" (eon). Buddha answered this way.

"Bhikkus consider you have 1 Cubic Yojan (~64 mile^3) well full of mustard seeds. You throw away one seed in every hundred year. As long time as it takes to throw aways all the seeds of the well, Kalpa (eon) is even more than that time. Here also he is trying to define the time by event gap."

In one occasion he said that to reach to the perfection it took 4 Ashankhey 1 Lakh Kalpa. It means he started journey to be Buddha 4 Ashankhey (10^19) 1 Lakh (10^5) Kalpa(eon) before. He said his name was Sugat Tapassi when he vowed that he would be Buddha one day. Here also time is the gap betwen two events; form Sugat Tapassi to Gautam Buddha, and it is measured in Kalpas. (Buddha's teaching is strongly based on Life after death, please forgive me if you don't believe on, it's just an example).

If he were in modern day world, he would have said this much light year. Such a long time can be measured in logarithic power of light year.

Whether the time is measured in Kalpas, or is measured by the velocity of light (light years) or is measured in revolution of earth around the sun (year) or by spinning motion of earth (day) or by sand flowing classical watches (Ghadi, Pala) or by Egyptian piller shadow clocks or by modern day electronic watches (s) or by the most accurate atomic watches; they all try to read the gap between two events, which is time.

As relativity theory demands the velocity of light to be constant. Time is defined with respect to this fact. For example, 1 sec is the time taken by the light to travel about 300 million meter in vacuum.

If you talk about reality, it is relative term. You and me are reality now were not reality 100 years ago and will not be reality 100 years later. Every thing in this universe is temporary, the whole universe is temporary. Only one thing is eternal in this universe, which is changing nature. Everything is changing in this universe. Everything is impermanent. Like bubble, bubble lives few second, we live few billion seconds, universe lives few billions billions billions billions... seconds. That's the only difference. No universe no time. Nothing.

I am not much interested in theoritical stuffs which doesn't have any practicle aspect. Intellectual game doesn't lures me.

Why are you trying to fool yourself??
That's exactly what you are doing!!

Cerrine,
Stress can be reduced through ' RELAXATION n RECREATION' the most relaxing recreating forcres are a good healthy religion( sounds impractical . ugh ..!?),sound sleep, music, and laughter.

You need to have faith in God ... learn to sleep well, Love good music... see the funny sides of life.. and all the happiness and good health is yours Cerine.

most of times we get stress coz of our way of thinking to a problem. if we think miserable thoughts we will be miserable, if we we think happy thought, we will be happy, if we thinkg failure we will almost fail... in other words ..' You are not what you think you are; but what you think, you are !

Generaly, we are in stress in various reasons ... most of the cases we get tense coz of some sort of problems and we are not sure of what decision would work ... it is important to find out sufficient knowledge on which to base a decision. after carefully considering all the facts, take a decison.. once a decision is reached, act,, Get involved in it and stop hunting with any anxiety...

In most of the cases we jsut get more stressed to handle any problems .. in some cases there is nothing we can do .. we msut be ready to accept the ultimate worst scenerio too. Some problems are really difficult to solve , no matter whatever effort we apply..

I think the best possible ways to reduce stress is to handle any sort of problems carefully ...
What is the Problem ? stating the problem clearly will help for next options .
What is the casue of the problem? root of the problems ..
What are the possible solutions you can think of ?
Well, in your such situation, what is the best solution of the problem ?
...
whatelse you can do more than that .. !

Cheers !

Thanks Rasmita Jee,

Around 50 thousand is very cheap in price. Did you get my question?

I am looking for a 42' Plasma or LCD Television (Any brand).

How much does it cost in KTM?

Daky

Stuffs like LCD or Plasma TV will definitely cost higher than 50,000. I don't think it will be available below NRs. 1lakh20thousand.

hmmm.. i have a question! :)
What if you like someone and you don't want to let go of that person right now (or you just can't let go of that person) but at the same time if you don't let go now then the rest of your life could be ruined? what do you do? :( :(

I am planning to buy a cell phone that is compatible in Nepal. I heard an unlocked tri-band phone works in Nepal but I really do not know the band width that cell phone operates in Nepal. Please suggest me.

tks.

Nails,

Are there any resons that you cann't let her/him go? Does it mean that you are not truly love with him or her ? or it is some sort of conditional that it is impossible to let him/her go ?

The next question makes me think twice. if I am going to ruin rest o f my life and i know it beforehand, i think I would better let go... unless he/she is more important than my life ..

i think it is like this.. even if you love her/him more than your life, you have ask yourself one question. Can you live with this person the rest of your life or the next moment of every moment of your life, happily? if the answer is yes, then you should do everything possible to stay. if the answer is no, then let him/her go. that way you both are happy, although sad for a while but happy for a long time.

how true is that :-D

thanks sujanks!! ;)

ALSON Nepal - i think sujanks answered my question! :)

Sorry smag, someone might have more ideas bout that ... AN

ALSON_Nepal

it felt very good to see a thread where ther eis no name calling or hwtever i see in all other threads, thanks

i had tons of questions, but before...firstly if i may ...what is your background? (educational and/or job)

I have one serious question
4 years ago I used to be a good singer, i could hit good notes and had a range high upto 'C' in the third otave. But ever since I suffered from sinus, I could not sing with the same ease. More to my frustration, it severely decreased the upper range of my voice and i can't sing the high notes......
Is there any treatment to retain my pitch (don't worry abt the voice I will take care of that)......Are there any therapies that can increase your pitch even more than before???

what happened alson u dont have answer to my question
I have one more'
but do with this first

Which came first, egg or chicken?

Hare not again the same old question...ask something exciting... :P

Dear Tregor,

I am extremely sorry for delay. I thoguht the thread has been dead.

Well, Tregor I heard that it is possible to increase picth level. Where about you live ? Why don't you once try to contact your local music training school or related field, they would help you.
Wish you all the best ! I hope one day we will be able to hear your beautifu songs.
