How to Evade Dogmas

How to Evade Dogmas

It is very difficult to evade, Dogmas (my definition is embedded lies), be that it is old or new.

Only way to avoid dogmas (dogmata) is not to have any.

If one has a dogma A against the Dogma B there are multiple ways one gets embedded in the dogma not realizing one is entangled, within.

Read Brahmajala Sutta, there are 62 variants and I believe none is true.

If dogma A is true one has to assimilate points supporting or basic tenets within it.

There is an element of belief that the dogma A is correct.

Belief has no scientific validity until it is approaching 40% of validity (ideally 60%).

There is no belief scientific or otherwise which has 100% validity.

Often beliefs falls below my cut of point 30% often it is less than 5%.

Then one has to identify the arguments falsifying the dogma B.

Suppose dogma B is correct and dogma A is wrong.

This is why I call dogma (lie) gets embedded in another circular lie or dogma.

One can apply this argument to existence of god (one dogma) or existence of alien life on mars (dogma B).

I leave you to do one’s own homework on the above and delve a bit on Buddhist tenets.

Buddhism is based on two basic tenets.

Number one is Kamma.

Number two is Beings in Samsara.

There are many other variants based on these two dogmas.

Neither of the above can be proved beyond doubt.

So they remain as dogmas.

This is true for other religions, too.

That is why I say it is safer to have no dogmas.

Do not ponder on the past.

Do not wonder about the future.

What we have is this moment of existence.

Enjoy it to the best without pondering on embedded dogmas.

What we have is this moment of happiness (Somanassa) so do not get into Domanassa Mood by delving on dogmas.
