thats a lot of food for the troll. i think he very fat edi. stop feeding hhahaha

OM MANI PADME HUM /k/ please calm down.

In case /k/ don't know the meaning of OM MANI PADME HUM,

OM represents the body of all Buddhas, it also begins nearly all mantras, purifies the veils of body;
MANI means "jewel" in Sanskrit, purifies the veils of speech and mind;
PAD ME, means "lotus", purifies the veils of conflicting emotions;
HUM represents the mind of all Buddhas and often ends mantras, purifies the veil that covers knowledge.

Thats because other religions have control in place to prevent much dilution. With mutual exclusivity, it comes with exclusive claims. Others would be rejected. But that isn't the contention to wage war. Its hardly even enough.

wars waged were mostly similar as in most wars: for resource, for control of power, for safety of people, for land.
Some will claim for religious propagation, more more often than not, propagation of religion has always been there regardless of war. Its only when safety of these propagators were threatened, bullied by opposing forces, that war was considered when bilateral talks breaks down and human emotions goes off the charts.

There is no religion that said to wage war on others as a commandment to gain salvation.
Religion was used during war as a means to join people of different ideologies under a common ground. It makes joint ventures easier. But the war itself has its goals not on religion.

I somehow feel he is not serious, although I got some answers to his questions...

of course, u can start asking us 1 question at a time and we try to nail it ...

see lahh.. rupanya u all so selfish wan...

if i ask similar Qs in other religion thread, sure they all be happy to answer me help me dy.

That was my approach. So what do you want to know?

ok


buddhanet.net

everything is there. if only cheezzball will read this site as well.

Show me some maturity first, then maybe I will answer you.

It isn't much on other religion.

Its much on the misconception that buddhism caused no religious war.
Its a misconception because war itself is too complex to be generalized like this.

Like what fail? My mum went to temple the other day and the monk told her something about my sister, and it was true. The monk has 6th sense that can read the future ke? And am not saying the monk has crazy shii- powers to talk to God.

ok how u want me to show ?

unzip your pants first.

Well, the last I remember the Christians went to the East and pillaged their wealth in the name of their Jesus. The INquisition and the Crusades were waged in the name of their Lord.

Islamic conquest , in the name of their Lord too.

There hasn't been any war waged in the name of the Buddha, although buddhists do engage in war. That is to say " Fight the infidels in the name of the Buddha" - it's unheard of.

But yes, at the end it's the human nature that brought down the good name of their religions.

now that's trolling

so this is how buddhists treat ppl who wanna understand more on their religion la.. no wonder u guise cannot maju.

There you go.

Well that the problem, as normal ppl i'm rojak in everything and can't even diff.
btw taoism vs buddhism not that it's a problem.

know very little to ask constructive question and do not want to join any organisation
on reason of my own.

thanks will take a look.
peace everyone.
