QUOTE(witchx @ May 7 2010, 08:29 AM) i beg to differ.... AFAIK buddhist schools does not believe in god though... at least not the one that i went to when I was younger which is the Buddhist Maha Vihara Brickfields. I was told that Buddha himself is not a god and never asked anyone to worship him and he was just a teacher spreading knowledge. I think its about time to go back there and speak to one of teachers in a Sunday school or something now lolz... i may have been told half truths... For the love of god.....what makes u think i think buddhists believe in god? QUOTE(witchx @ May 7 2010, 08:29 AM) but entering nirvana has similarities with afterlife where there is no more rebirth / reincarnation but the mind continues after physical death... hence i said nirvana is probably an afterlife in theravada buddhism but maybe i have not typed it out right... thats not it either. the mind cease when one achieves nirvana.Added on August 17, 2010, 11:48 pm QUOTE(thesoothsayer @ Aug 17 2010, 11:40 PM) After death, there's nothing. and u know because?Added on August 17, 2010, 11:49 pm QUOTE(robertngo @ Aug 14 2010, 10:45 PM) but the moral value of every religions are different, even the different branch within that religion will have different moral value. how can that be stable? customs may differ, but virtue remain the same.
