hey TS, serious question here.

mind describing Buddhism in your own words? simpler better

hello TS, once i heard from a friend of mine. He said in Buddhism, they beleive in rebirth. How is that so.?

way of life

Where is Joe?

How to achieve enlightenment? Both Zen and Pure Land way

yes, we do believe in rebirth, why? because we believe in the existence of Karma. It is due to Karma that we exist in the plains (human, animal, celestials, demons etc etc)

what mean aum aum?

oh and this question too!

Buddhism is like the movie Matrix by Keanu Reave.

We all trapped inside this system called Samsara for infinite past and future, all victims of our own cause effect. Life after life we exist, sometimes at good places, but mostly at bad places due to this.

Buddha is like Neo - he figured all these out, and he taught a doctrine called the DHamma, which is something that if one practices, will eventually liberate him from Samsara.


People who followed him, and practiced this dhamma, and found emancipation are called the Sangha (ariyas)


So the Tripple Gem in buddhism means

1. Buddha
2. Dhamma
3. Sangha

Succinct?

How do Buddhists feel about racism?

I mean diff religion have diff definitions rightt?

which type of prayer are you talking, we have so many types of prayer, if you are talking bout main daily prayers for the mass, we have mainly 2

morning prayers
night prayers

not inclusive of minor prayers

so in any mean, you people don't know what is your previous life and what is your after life like right?

in other word - it just holding on faith of believing on the religion, right bro?

why your god is bald?

em

and how?
have something that "must read" or "must do"?in muslin we got bismilah something like that

Eventually all will die and become bones. So race matters?

Yes. What do you mean how?

Depends on the tradition.

Theravada no prayer one, as there is no one to pray to (buddha already passed away). Mental culture (meditation) yes...

everything is about the mind eventually.

Got people can see one. But you don't believe... hard to tell wor..
