The way I practice Buddhism is to follow its teaching of morality.
Though sometime I think my dad would be a little disappointed that I'm not into rituals and not fully believing in deities but I do respect him enough to practice our family's traditions. I can't say that I fully dismissed the existence of supernatural beings but I just don't put any importance into it. This is my belief and idea of Buddhism. |

QUOTE(hackwire @ Jan 19 2012, 12:13 AM) Yeah Chinese till today are still lost just like me. If I recall correctly , the burning of paper money was originate from China. An invention of a paper businessman.Yes all your explanation above had been similary defined in wikipedia which made me push the envelope further by finding the in between where did all these praying with joss stick, paper burning, etc brought into the temple, What religion is this if it's not Tao or Buddhism? . Tao and Buddhism is a teaching and not a religion at first because buddhism even exist before Gautama Buddha in india. Gautama buddha was the one who found enlightenment if im not mistaken here.  I read it somewhere in a Buddhist Magazine. |
