QUOTE(soul2soul @ Sep 28 2010, 10:21 AM) Well.. difference in opinion occurs even within 1 generation. We are talking about 2500 years of buddhism, so evolution of opinions and split of buddhism into different kinds of schools are expected. Need to do a bit of reading if you are interested. I think the same as u but what my friend said is different when I tried to ask her some questions..I went to her house I din see any Buddha picture and Buddha mold inside her house so I was curious and ask her what Buddha u pray? then, she said they don't pray to Buddha because we are Buddha.. I saw a wood with a close door in their hall..she told me she pray on that... |

QUOTE(Misteri2010 @ Sep 28 2010, 10:31 AM) I think the same as u but what my friend said is different when I tried to ask her some questions.. All of us have this thing called "buddha-citta", which is the capability to be enlightened. The 8fold path taught by the Buddha is to help us to arouse this Buddhacitta in us. That is to say, the Dhamma taught by the Buddha opens the way for this natural ability of our mind to arise. It's a good thing, because that means YOU and me all can become enlightened. In theravada buddhism, anyone who becomes enlightened is called an Arahant.I went to her house I din see any Buddha picture and Buddha mold inside her house so I was curious and ask her what Buddha u pray? then, she said they don't pray to Buddha because we are Buddha.. I saw a wood with a close door in their hall..she told me she pray on that... The highest respect one can accord to the Buddha, according to the Buddha himself, is to practice the Dhamma.

QUOTE(planb2 @ Aug 5 2011, 10:24 PM) I think many got it wrong. It isn't way of life or all about doing good or burning josssticks or praying to images. The main purpose is enlightenment and all the sutras are all about guiding one to enlightenment if one were to read. +1 strive hard!! |
