B. Buddhism: life, every life, however painful, because even the most seemingly happy can not suffer the anguish of his end. We must therefore break the chain life-death-life to get to not be born again. Bullshit: the story of "weapons of mass destruction" of Saddam Hussein, which the Americans took the start and the pretext to attack Iraq, as well as shameful and grotesque. The story was so funny that in Tehran, when a thing was considered bullshit, fucked up unimportant, had firmly established the use of saying, "How Saddam's missiles."

Buddhism. Buddhism, at least one of the origins, looks like a totally nihilistic thought, perhaps the most nihilistic which has been fully processed. Life, all life, it is painful, because even the most seemingly happy can not suffer the anguish of his end. We must therefore break the chain life-death-life to get to not be born again. In this way the man is alone, absolutely alone, desperately alone. In the Buddhist conception, in fact, everything is unstable, it is only a set of phenomena, physical, biological and psychological in perpetual change (Heraclitus). The universe itself is no exception to this law occurs slowly, stabilize for some time, is destroyed in a massive collapse in on itself, then reproduce again and start the cycle again, forever (the 'eternal return' of Nietzsche's theory the Big Bang). Apart from this eternal
Over time, the infinite space, nothing is constant, fixed, immutable in order to refer to anything similar to that for Westerners it is God or the soul, for Hindu 'self, for the Jains as' the universal principle. " Needless to consult the gods, which do exist, they too, although enjoy certain privileges, are subject to the inexorable law of instability, also die and are reborn, perhaps in some lower category, human or animal or other.
Buddhism is a religion without God, without soul and without worship that appeals to reason and not faith. What holds the man attached to the endless chain of rebirth? Just his love for life and its pleasures, however, is also the source of his suffering. Will then gradually move away from life and get all'impassibilità and absolute inaction.
So to move forward, let's say, the "way of salvation" (Marge), as well abandon all passions, desires, ambitions, joys and vices of life, we must first practice the "eight virtues" and so even the good deeds we sow the seeds for us at a higher stage in the lives later and not have to start from scratch. Not to do evil deeds but not enough to not implement them, we must also love her and not even desirable, because in Buddhism the volition is already an action that brings all the consequences as if the intention had indeed been shaken.
To achieve this state of total control, physical and mental, himself a Buddhist monaco must then undergo a very strict discipline, with a variety of methods, many of which are close to the ancient techniques of yoga. It is especially an inner struggle.
Without this process, which involves a lot of lives, however, is not the end. There are four levels to overcome the "way of salvation." In the first, that of 'stream-entry (srotaapanna), the Monaco, Forget all the mistakes and doubts, to make certain that will not be reborn more than seven times. With the second, called "one back" (sakrdagamin), which corresponds to a purification and a detachment
even more (especially by the senses, which are the eternal problems of any religion, thought or aspiration ascetic), he will be reborn only once between men. By the third, "No Return" (anàgd-min), it will be reborn più in un corpo umano, ma in uno divino e per una sola volta. Col quarto si entra in una condizione di estasi e di imperturbabilità assoluta (nirvana}. Si potrà vivere ancora molto a lungo ma alla morte si avrà la certezza dell'Estinzione completa (paranirvànà) e ci si scioglierà finalmente nel Nulla.
Per l'uomo occidentale la faccenda è più semplice. Per raggiungere il Nulla gli basta morire una volta sola.
Bullshit. La storia delle «armi di distruzione di massa» di Saddam Hussein, da cui gli americani presero l'avvio e il pretesto per attaccare l'Iraq, oltre che vergognosa è grottesca. Perché, anche qualora Saddam avesse conservato quelle armi, che proprio gli americani (insieme ai francesi e, via Germania Est, ai sovietici) gli avevano fornito, a partire dal 1985, perché le usasse contro i soldati iraniani, non era in grado di colpire alcun Paese occidentale, Israele compreso, e nemmeno i suoi vicini.
Nel 1987 Saddam, che stava perdendo la guerra con l'Iran sul terreno, decise di ricorrere ai missili a lunga gittata che fino ad allora non aveva osato utilizzare nel timore che il nemico facesse lo stesso, magari centrandolo in qualche suo palazzo. Era la mossa della disperazione. L'obiettivo era naturalmente Teheran, la capitale, dove viveva l'odiato Khomeini. Sui giornali, anche europei e americani, si parlava di «guerra dei missili». In quei giorni mi trovavo a Teheran per seguire le vicende della guerra e quella storia dei missili mi preoccupava non poco. Ma preoccupava ovviamente anche gli abitanti di Teheran, perché i musulmani, pur avendo con la morte un rapporto molto diverso dal nostro, sono uomini e hanno paura, come tutti.
Si aspettava quindi con una certa apprensione l'arrivo di questi missili di Saddam. I primi due caddero nel deserto a una cinquantina di chilometri da Teheran, il terzo si avvicinò un po' di più, il quarto centrò finalmente la città. E sbrecciò un muro. Quei missili infatti, come quelli che Gheddafi cercò di lanciare su Lampedusa, non avevano la portata sufficiente per coprire la distanza fra le basi irachene e la capitale iraniana. Gli artificieri avevano quindi dovuto aumentare the propellant, but at the same time reduce the explosive charge. So what came was little more than a large firecracker.
The story was so funny that in Tehran, when a thing was considered bullshit, fucked up unimportant, had firmly established the use of saying, "How Saddam's missiles."
