buddhism

I personally think that it's a very great text to take from. There are great analogies and it seems to be a moral guideline like the bible, except without the falsities. Your opinions?

I'd like to apologize if I offend anyone with my question. There have been a lot of times recently when I wonder about my faith and if I'm on the correct path in life, the universe and the unknown. I'm interested in understanding how other people have found their faith, as well as why they...

I'm trying to find my mind a home, a new religion, something that has been around for a long time, and not as corrupt as christianity, judaism and islam. So i thought of Buddhism. Can someone give me the basics. Such as what Buddhist are all about, who is the supreme leader, holy texts. Also...

choose? i dont like most other religions

I have a project due Monday- a 5 to 8 page essay- and I would apprieciate it if y'all gave me some helpful information on something to compare about Judiasm, Hinduism, and Buddhism. I have already got their beginnings and the stories of both Abraham (believed to be the "Father of the Jews") and...

When I entered, I had to light three incense sticks first, so that I will be able to pray to the "Great Saint," which was represented by a huge statue. While talking to the saint, something suddenly came to my mind (unwillingly): "I offer my love of music to you." I wanted to take it back, but...

Thank you so much.

...Christianity? Notice how they dress for worship in suits. Yoga and eastern mysticism has to do with the harmony of BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT, not just the mind (which Christianity caters to). Thomas Merton, a Catholic monk said, after meeting the Dalai Lama and Tibetan Buddhists: They have gone...

Is it a philosophy that turned into a religion? Is it a true religion--whatever that may be?

do u know how i can make them??! i want something simple! that kinda relates to Buddhism and India and Korea.... tnx

I got into a heated discussion with a Christian today about Buddhism and they were trying to "save me" from this self-centered religion. But don't you think that until you find peace within yourself, you can not spread peace and compassion to others? EXACTLY, "Free Thinker"...thank you!!!

I'm currently an Atheist, but i feel that Buddhism is the right path for me, it just seems to work much better than any other "religion" because nobody ever claimed to be a god, so i guess its not really a religion more of a philosophy. I don't know a great deal about it but im really interested...
