I have English name on my IC so that is my name.
Just curious that some Chinese fella do not have their name on their IC but purposely put a glamour name for themselves. Some even change their name every month or so. |

QUOTE(joe_mamak @ Jul 30 2010, 12:24 AM) Sorry, there is no such thing.QUOTE These teachings are glaringly and fundamentally different to the Christian gospel: Source• There is no God in Buddhism. Christianity, however, presents a living, personal, holy and almighty God who created the world from nothingness (not into nothingness). • In Buddhism, the world and human self are nothing but an illusion; the ultimate reality is the absolute emptiness of the great void. Contrast this with the physical reality of Jesus Christ, mankind and God’s creation. • The Christian concept of sin, as a violation of God’s holy nature and laws, is non-existent in Buddhism; there is, therefore, no need of a Saviour. There is no final accountability to a holy God on the judgment Day. Karma, the cosmic Law of Cause and Effect, is the ultimate impersonal and merciless judge. • Self-effort, with guidance and help from certain priests and teachers, is the key to salvation. Jesus’ death on the Cross for our sins, providing the only means of reconciliation with God, is unnecessary and pointless to the Buddhist. There is no savior in Buddhism; the Buddha said he could not help anyone; he could only point the way. • Buddhist meditation aims to achieve release from suffering and the endless cycle of death and rebirth; according to Buddha, meditation is only ‘a raft with which one can reach the opposite shore: emptiness’. Christian meditation focuses on God and its aim is to achieve fullness and oneness with Christ, not emptiness without Christ. • Heaven is the Christian’s ultimate destiny; the Buddhist, however, aims for nirvana, a state of nothingness and emptiness. Nirvana is the state where there is neither being nor non-being. Hope, then, does not lie in God’s mercy, love and grace; it lies in non-existence. QUOTE Most Buddhist schools teach reincarnation while the Bible teaches "It is appointed for each person to die once, and then comes the judgment" (Hebrews 9:7). Jesus taught His disciples to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength." Buddha taught to relinquish all desires. The Bible teaches that life is found in a relationship with God through Christ. Buddha taught life is about the emptying of the self. Buddhism teaches that man is basically good and the answer to mans problem is enlightenment. The Bible teaches that man is sinful and the answer to his problem is not within him but in a perfect savior who died for his sins, Jesus Christ. So at the foundational issues, the two systems are contradictory. Source This post has been edited by POYOZER: Jul 30 2010, 12:39 AM |
