Topic: What is your opinion on Buddhism???? - page 7. (Read 4730 times)

After see the movie "7 years on Tibet" I read a lot of your religion ...
in my opinion is a very spiritual religion, with a long history of peace and philosophy behind. really far away from modern cult or monotheisms religions.

I haven' heard any bad things about buddhism but only good things. Sure there may be  some bad buddhist people lived in the past but they didn't ruin their religion's  reputation.

To me, Buddhism is a harmless and a peaceful religion. It teaches you the core of the religion and how to meditate effectively. Plus, they don't put senseless shit into your brain.

Of the major religions, Buddhism is probably the most benign, it focuses on peace, respects life and is not as forceful. However on a deeper level, it is no better/different than any of the other religions.
I'm not religious but when I was in Nepal, I stayed for a month in a Buddhist monastery in Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha. There is huge piece of land near Lumbini village where Buddhist representatives from many Western and Asian countries have built monasteries.
When I first got there, I stayed in a guest house in the village but then found out that people were allowed to stay in a few of the monasteries.
I must say that I was quite amazed when I stepped into the compound with the monasteries, the feeling/atmosphere was noticeably different from that of the village, it somehow felt more peaceful.
I stayed in a Korean monastery there and went for long walks in the forest everyday, really enjoyed my stay there

No gods doesn't have that power. they are only joying the result of their good karma.. after that they will come back to the human world and start collecting karma for another birth it depends on their karma.. this is the cycle If someone stop collecting karma in their mind and the physical body they are not going to birth again.. you see karma is the thing that bind us to cycle.. if the cycle stopped ... that the thing called nirvana.. never born again.. Now you can say why stopping the cycle?? being on the cycle is hard.. there is sorrow , there is happiness, illness and death.. do you ever feel the emptiness that brought from the farewell someone you really care about.. There are somethings you badly want.. You try hard to get them but you can't.. if you got them what after that .. We all try for another one.. always.. until our death.. what after that?? In our religion we born again according to karma.. yours I think you might go to the heaven or hell according to the karma.. Sorry if I wrong... What the point?? eternal soul... eternal bond with the cycle.. our religion says until you figure out how to stop karma do good things earn karma to do so.. Its not about the leaving your loved ones behind.. if you study buddhism you will learn a great love story... Don't misunderstand me.. I am not insulted any religion.. I Just want to reduce the misunderstanding.. thank you very much

Don't know much about it, just that there are monks and they can do cool shit, but id love to learn more

There is/are no gods in the sense of judaistic religions.

Normal humans can become deities and vice versa - it is more or less a completely different view of god(s).

So are all these gods has the same power ? and what if one of them wants to do something against the other will? who would win ? or they all work together with no conflicts ? ?

We studied different kind of religions before and confused until now with hinduism and buddhism.  And sorry to say that I already forgot your beliefs and teachings.  All I remember is that you are good in concentrating and purifying your souls.  I also think that your religion is cool.  And even if we have different religion, different beliefs, and different principles in life that would not mean to look down on you.  We should respect each others belief and I know everyone believes in one thing.  Love

One of the more interesting groups to come out of Buddhisms continued presence in the West, particularly in America. Even though I don't go in for that line of thought it is fascinating to watch how the West digests Buddhisms continued presence. It will have an effect on at least American Buddhism and how that comes about in the coming centuries, whether or not anyone likes it. So will all the vajrayana groups like Shambala and the tiny Aro groups. Then there is the phenomena of Consensus Buddhism that has laid its mark. An exciting time for anyone that studies how old religions take hold in virgin territories

They worship idols. They say there are many gods. My opinion is that there could be only one GOD according to the holy BIBLE and I  believe in that very strongly.

Very peaceful and all harmles. It deserves to be respected like other religions as well

We are not worship to thee gods. There are many gods. gods are once were people who gathered many good karma and born in heaven( Its the simple meaning.. But it more complicate)

In the seed there is the tree who will bear millions or billions of seed. How many mango there is? The question isn't how many but when.

To contrast all the positive I read I saw a documentary on a very far village somewhere in the Everest chain were people were animist. A Buddhist monk was on a mission to convert them. His proselytism wasn't peaceful toward the local.





Just kidding

Funny topic, I like buddhism because I find it to be the most in balance with nature

I do not know a lot about Buddhaism. what I know that it is a religion which people worship idols and pray for it. they think there are many gods. correct me if I am wrong !

Buddhism is a great religion, its teaches us to become peaceful and kind person, and also has a great philosophy that can be used for our daily life, and the best teaching from buddhism is the karma, "what goes around comes around" that is my favorite quote from buddhism

Buddhism it's a religion based on a philosophy of peace and compassion for all beings, extremely spiritual and teaches a person more about themselves and life in general together with any other religion.

Nirvana concept is far more complicate than it sees. First You have to understand the "no eternal soul concept" Then you will understand the nirvana concept  I also hardly understood that.. We are all brothers and sisters.. Respect you bro  Thanks everyone.. this makes me happy.. 

In my view,
Buddhism is the most logical, rational and peaceful religion
and everyone may find something to believe in it,
including even the Atheists.
