@cyrex, I find it difficult to ascribe the term 'Religion' to Buddhism! It looks more of a path to self discovery and awareness than a 'religion' properly so called!

Climaths: Wht message did u pass across nw. U did nt communicate

the message is that Buddhism is not a dogmatic belief system like Abrahamic religions. it is willing to accomodate modern scientific discoveries.

Correct! The future generations will carry out more research and correct our today's ideas. Unlike some books written 2000 years ago that christians and muslims are refusing to let go.

Yeah


Some forms of Buddhism are actually sensible. Some take spirituality as people trying to find the truth or the path. This is why some buddhists chose not to argue with science. Unlike some foolish christians here angry


The one that pained me was when one foolish christian claimed that Buddhism is Asian witchcraft angry slowpoke!

Buddhism doesnt always make sense. We should not hype it too much. While it is one of the few senseible and pro science religion, there are many sects of it that have mind-numbing foolish practices

Too bad that the thread is different from the name.
Re: Here Is Why Buddhism Is One Of The Best religions by PAGAN9JA(m): 10:20pm On Feb 14, 2013
Buddhism is a direct product of the Pagan Hindu school of thought. Infact almost all Asians practice Trad. religion alongside Buddhism, or incorporate Pagan Gods into Buddhism. even among Indian Hindus, it is not uncommon to see a statue of Buddha alongside the Gods, as a spiritual Guru.

only newly converted oyinbo Buddhists do not subscribe to the pure Pagan version.

everything modern is not good. there must be a balance. so it is time we cut the only modern cr.ap.

YAS is JUJU is TRADITIONAL TRIBAL YORUBA PAGANISM.

THE MORE WE TRY TO PUT DOWN THESE TERMS, THE MORE THE XTIANS AND MUSLIMS GET A CHANCE TO DESTABILIZE OUR RELIGIONS.

If you are talking about Ifa, then it is derived and used in Yoruba Religion. so it is a part of our religion.

or else if its not Ifa, explain me what is YAS ?
