i do not in any way represent Buddhism in answering this question

but imho, this is more of a personal question, as Buddhism is a way of life, the Truth, its not a living being that "judge"

but to clear abit of your doubts, back in India, and even now, there exist a caste system

Brahma's in those days, would never accept the lower caste into their teachings

but the Buddha does not judge the others by caste, he accepted them into his teachings, and treated them equally

im just answering this in a short way, if you want to know more, you can start by reading the biography of the Buddha for a clearer picture

the Buddha's 10 main disciples were from all different types of background

Hi TS.. I heard Buddhism said its just a teaching. But somehow, got supernatural stuff like rebirth, karma etc. So is Buddhist lying?

OMG, the troll is back. Warning!

is the main objective of buddhist in the end is to cease to exist?

how do i becum a god?

Technically speaking - err YES.

OMG, the person who cannot answer question is here also... lol

come on la... answer the question. This is not troll. I need to know.

how do I become a buddha?

Nobody answer me? It's the most basic thing and ultimate goal of Buddhism

OMG the troll is asking the question he thinks he already has the answer to.

So how can this old troll like me answer him and change his mind?

i see. thank you.

cease to exist in the 6 planes of existence in which the cycles of birth and rebirth occur.

gods realm > "heaven"
demi-gods realm > "heaven"

human realm > "earth"
animal realm > "earth"
hungry ghost realm > "earth"

hell realm > "burning hells"



to achieve enlightenment and ascend into higher planes of existence.
to escape from this maze we call earth.

how can i pray so that i can win a lot money jackpots and lottery? kthxbai

what he think does not matter. Its what your answer that might change his mind.

Now this is troll.

but I thought there are no gods in buddha's teaching?

it wasnt a religion to begin with bro, it's more like do you believe in "your" Karma?

your Karma determines what your next life is gonna be, hence the "cultivation" on your current life and your future to strive for the Truth

your Karma obstructs your cultivation

as for the knowledge of your past life, with enough cultivation, you can tap into the memories of your past life (related to "supernatural powers")

god is nothing more like dewa dewi. They make mistake, they become human.

like human make mistake then reborn as rat.

Question: - How is the marriage law in Buddhism? Can a Buddhist marry a Hindu or a Taoist or a Jain?
