halo, me 1st time here

my question
Is corruption or giving commission is a sin?

what do you mean by giving commission? if by giving commission after that guy helps you sell your car/house is perfectly okay. corruption is absolutely wrong. but in buddhism we dont really use the term 'sin'

ok

Hey, welcome to the thread!

Mara came to disturb our Buddha before the sunset. He wanted to distract the Buddha but he failed when the Buddha recollected his virtues , cultivated over Immeasurable Aeons.

World definitely not ending at Kambing 2012.

Still very very very long to go one...

You go take a cloth, go to a mountain, rub the stone there once in 100 years. The time that one Aeon (world cycle) has passed is when the mountain has been eroded... something like that lar..

But if world ended also, you will reincarnate to the Brahma worlds wat... (provided not so evil and get born to another world system hells lor)

Christian's logic:

Relative heart attack. but the heart attack happened in the hospital. docs managed save his life. god is good. god is great. my question is that, if god is so great, why did he give the relative a heart attack in the first place?

knowledge

anyway got any free book can share with me?
i like to learn

I was born a christian.Now I'm an Atheist.What kind of Buddhism should i practice?

http://buddhanet.net/e-learning/qanda.htm

this not god fault or related with god
what i can say is, ownself make ownself
example:
A is very healthy, 1 day A eat too much sugar
after many year A get a diabetes

other case
A really have heart attack since A born to this world

for buddhists then they will say oh this guy must have had accumulated a lot of good karma. but at least buddhist wont tell the whole world that he got good karma that's why he didn't die. i really lol'ed. maybe i will go to hell for this

thank for sharing

what do you wish to seek out of buddhism?

dun care about karma, we go for present n future
do good deep n respect our god n our greatest buddha

that i do Now... if karma happen on me, i dun care
as long i follow my road from born till old n die

if taoism
our life are according in book

u cannot practice as u must respect ur own god.. (from bible)
u can know how our buddhism work n story

I wish to make peace and find serenity.To be a good person,an open minded intellectual.I don't suppose there is a god in Buddhism,yes?
As for my knowledge,I leave it to science.

true.. i don't really bother about rebirths either..more focused about the present..

well, you can start to read about the 4 noble truths and the eight precepts for a start.

yes there is no supreme god in buddhism.

Wassup buddhists! ayam raised a hindjew but have buddhist beliefs.


Also, please keep the "bashing other religions" thing outta here la. later mods nuke your thered

Well, I would start by asking these questions

1. who is the historical buddha?
2. what did he teach?
3. why are there monks? when did the monks/nuns tradition start?
4. what is the aim of the teaching?
5. how did he practice? what did he do?
6. what is the role of non-monks in buddhism?



Try look for a book - "what buddhist believe" by the late Ven Dhammananda. It's available online. really a good introduction to Buddhism. From there, if you got any questions, you may post here and we will try to answer you if we know.

Or if you feel like asking anything here, anytime - ask.
