How to explain homosexuality in numerology?

First of all, people's attitudes towards homosexuality are mainly influenced by British Christianity's views on the relevant parts of the Bible, coupled with the exaggeration and narrow-mindedness of Victorian people in the19th century. In Asia, especially in India and China, sex has never been considered a dirty thing, and it can only be enjoyed secretly or just for reproduction. In India, the stone carvings in Indian temples are enough to prove that all kinds of sexual behaviors (including masturbation) are manifestations of Kama-sensory pleasure and can be enjoyed within a certain limit of Dharma-virtue. As human beings, we have this body and are eager for all kinds of enjoyment (not just sex)-we are eager for food, pleasant smells, beautiful sounds and so on. If we stubbornly resist, treating them as evil is just like suppressing nature by force, which is harmful. Influenced by Maya-ignorance, people regard the body as a real existence and are eager to satisfy their pursuit of sensory entertainment. But after spiritual maturity, ignorance was replaced by knowledge (VIDYA-knowledge) and wisdom (PANNA-wisdom). Therefore, when the body is regarded as an illusory impression, it naturally transcends this persistence. We see some talented people give up sex when they grow up, just like a child stops playing with those toys when he grows up. There is nothing wrong with sex itself. The mistake is to be attached to it and enslaved by it, thinking that indulging in sex can bring ultimate happiness. This is the problem caused by the exaggerated use of sex in today's entertainment media-the myth that exaggerating sex brings long-term happiness.

The third of the five commandments that we recite every day in Buddhism is: "I accept this warning and avoid improper sexual behavior." First of all, we notice that there is no compulsion or fear of being punished for breaking God's law. But after we realized the danger of clinging to sex, we took the initiative to take measures to get rid of it, that is, to be admonished.

Next, let's look at the meaning of "inappropriate sexual behavior"-we mean inappropriate sexual behavior here, not all sexual behaviors. For those Buddhist children who have not chosen celibacy, sex is not forbidden. There is no doubt that this is only for those disciples who stay at home and become monks. Monks and nuns have voluntarily chosen abstinence and concentrated on practice. Improper behavior refers to those behaviors that cause harm to the actor or the other party. In a sense, if both parties are adults and voluntary, it does not constitute harm. In Buddhism, we don't regard anything as a "sin" against sacred laws. We make mistakes because of ignorance, so we do "unskilled actions", which will delay or interfere with our practice. Because we know nothing about the nature of things (in this case, our bodies), it is harmful mentally. Wisdom and insight will help us avoid harmful psychological and behavioral behaviors.

Related to this, Buddhism does not recognize marriage as a union permitted by God, which seems to make sex suddenly legal. Sex is a human activity and has nothing to do with heaven and hell. You should be aware that sexual misconduct is just one of the five commandments. Killing is much more serious because you hurt another life more maliciously. Sex is caused by desire, which is similar to the desire for food, alcohol, drugs, wealth and power. Sticking to any one of them constitutes a "lack of skills." Buddhism advises people to give up any of these attachments, because they will bind us more closely to samsara. Addiction to sex can lead to other consequences. It can be seen from this that Buddhism does not regard homosexuality as "wrong", but heterosexuality is "right". Both of them are sexual activities with the body, and both of them are strong expressions of lust, which increases our desire for the world and makes us trapped in reincarnation for a longer time. Whether two men or a man and a woman are in love, they all come from the same personal limitation, that is, they don't regard the body as an empty reality. Buddhism does not condemn homosexuality, just as Buddhism does not condemn any mistakes. Our actions are out of ignorance of the truth, so all we do is "lack of skills" We have no right to condemn others. Our responsibility is to help others understand that they do it out of ignorance and how to find true happiness. We have no right to condemn those who think differently from us, especially when we become slaves to other sensory entertainment. We know that when we point one finger at others, three fingers point at ourselves.

In short, homosexuality, like heterosexuality, originated from ignorance, and of course there is no "sin" in the Christian sense. All forms of sex will increase the desire, desire and persistence for the body. With wisdom, we have learned how to get rid of these persistent. We don't condemn homosexuality as wrong and sinful, but we don't condone it, because it, like other sexual things, delays our liberation from samsara.
