Please go start a new thread on that.  We are trying to keep this thread for Buddhism discussion only.  Thank you.

There is only one type of Buddhism taught by the Buddha. He did not teach Theravada or Mahayana. He taught that consistently for 45 years of his life, which is the 4 noble truths, and the 8 fold paths that lead to Nibbana.

The split in Buddhism happens much later in the history of buddhism about 500 years after his passing, due to differences in interpretation and the reformation in buddhism.

Did the Buddha teach Falun Dafa?

If he didn't , then it's not part of buddhism, right?

though what you wrote may be true, but i find that the teachings are similar oh.

is about one self's own spiritual development, to seek enlightenment, to not care much about various attachments, to pay off the debts of karma, etc.

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

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.

all the dewa dewis are buddhist?  shocking.gif
*

no, them dewa and semi-dewa in the heaven realm still need to cultivate one.
not buddha yet.
still can reincarnate one.

refer to "mulan" story.
mulan was a sky soldier in heaven realm that got reincarnate as a lady in china, ancient war times.

QUOTE(Shadow Kun @ Aug 19 2010, 09:56 AM)

*
