Buddha's Say !!!

By contrast, the Buddhism does not embrace these principles as such. Although it acknowledges the importance of faith, moral rules and vows and concentration as indispensable factors in attaining the goal, yet they are not decisive factors. We have to be careful on this point. It is not the case that Buddhism disregards the importance of faith, moral rules and vows and concentration. On the contrary, these are basic and indispensable factors. Regarding Faith, the Buddha once said: Saddhaya tarati ogham, meaning that a person can cross a torrent with faith. And then the question is crossing what torrent? Crossing the torrent of rebirth is crossing the cycle of rebirths, which means the person can free himself from endless suffering. This is evidence that the Buddha admits that we can be free of suffering through faith. With a casual view of this we might say that mere faith will suffice. In the case of morality, we can cite another Pali expression. At the end of giving the training rules (to the lay devotees) the  monk will conclude thus: Silena sugatim yanti silena bhogasampada silena nibbutim yanti The pali words say that individuals can attain nirvana ( i.e. nibbutim) through morality. The nirvana is attainable with training rules which is an acknowledgement that moral principles enable a person to get to nirvana. So morality alone should be enough. As for concentration numerous of this in the Buddha's teaching can be cited. If one is make  a simplistic claim that concentration is enough to get a person to nirvana, one can cite as an example early stages of  nirvana call Nirodha (extinction of defilements).  

Life????????????????

Life is physically distinguishable characteristic biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes from those who do not as functional as stop or because they do not have the same functions and are classified lifeless. Various forms of life, such as plants, animals and so on. This criteria may be unclear and may or may not set artificial life potential for a living. Science Biology is mainly concerned with the study of life science, although many others were involved. And the definition of life is broken, which means different. Throwing hand, the current definition is that all organisms maintain homeostasis is composed of experienced growing Thirdly, the metabolism can adapt to their environments that respond to stimulation and production. However, many biologically no definition has been proposed and some of which, as proposed definition is based on the chemical system. There is a theory such as the Gaia hypothesis, the idea that the earth is alive, former founded by James Grier Miller first. Another is that life is the riches of the ecosystem, and yet another, a complex system biology branch of mathematical biology. The definition in some other systems, including a theory involving dynamic and Darwinian theory operators. However, throughout history, there are many different theories and definitions of life, such as the desire for riches that everything is carried out and it is just a complex form only! He Hylomorphism have faith that everything is a combination of matter and form, and the form of the story, a living, this is the soul of their generation itself believes that life repeatedly emerged from non-life and vitality that a hypothetical scientific cause that living things have a life force or spark important.

Religion means the organized collection of beliefs, myths, and world views that related humanity with each other to an order of existence. Many religions have their own narratives, and symbols that explain the meaning, and origin of life or universe in their own way. The practice of religion includes rituals, sermons, veneration, sacrifices, festivals, feasts, funerary services, matrimonial services, prayer, dance, music, public services, or other aspects of human culture. Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, etc. are some common examples of religion. Every religion has its own spiritual leader or messenger.

    Culture is the shared values of knowledge, belief, thoughts, customs, ideas, habits, and many other relevant things that are common between the members of a specific society. Culture is also uses to define the complex networks of practices and accumulated knowledge and ideas that is transmitted via social interaction and exist in specific human groups or cultures. Some aspects of human behaviors like language, social practices like kinship, gender and marriage, expressive forms like music, dance, ritual, religion, and technologies like cooking, shelter, clothing are called to be cultural universals, usually found in all human societies. Culture is different from community to community, region to region, or country to country.

What is Karma???

  Karma is the law of moral causation. The theory of Karma is a fundamental doctrine in Buddhism. This belief was prevalent in India before the advent of the Buddha. Nevertheless, it was the Buddha who explained and formulated this doctrine in the complete form in which we have it today. Either this inequality of mankind has a cause, or it is purely accidental. No sensible person would think of attributing this unevenness, this inequality, and this diversity to blind chance or pure accident. In this world nothing happens to a person that he does not for some reason or other deserve. Usually, men of ordinary intellect cannot comprehend the actual reason or reasons. The definite invisible cause or causes of the visible effect is not necessarily confined to the present life, they may be traced to a proximate or remote past birth. According to Buddhism, this inequality is due not only to heredity, environment, "nature and nurture", but also to Karma. In other words, it is the result of our own past actions and our own present doings. We ourselves are responsible for our own happiness and misery. We create our own Heaven. We create our own Hell. We are the architects of our own fate. Perplexed by the seemingly inexplicable, apparent disparity that existed among humanity, a young truth-seeker approached the Buddha and questioned him regarding this intricate problem of inequality: "What is the cause, what is the reason, O Lord," questioned he, "that we find amongst mankind the short-lived and long-lived, the healthy and the diseased, the ugly and beautiful, those lacking influence and the powerful, the poor and the rich, the low-born and the high-born, and the ignorant and the wise?" The Buddha’s reply was: "All living beings have actions (Karma) as their own, their inheritance, their congenital cause, their kinsman, their refuge. It is Karma that differentiates beings into low and high states."

            Religion has come into existence as a result of the human struggle to solve the basic problem of life that is suffering. "If there were no birth decay and death", the Buddha says the Enlightened One would not have arisen in the world and his teaching would not have spread abroad". He also proclaims again and  that a Buddha arises in the world for the good and happiness of the many out of compassion for the world for the benefit for the advantage and for happiness of gods and man. This is the same with the preaching of the Dharma, the lastingness of his Dispensation and the solidarity of the Sangha. Thus just as the worth of medicine lies in the cure of the disease, so the value of religion is ascertained by its efficacy in the alleviation and elimination of human suffering.

The meaning of Religion !!

    Religion is a set of rituals, rationalized by myth, which mobilizes supernatural powers for the purpose of achieving or preventing transformations of state in man or nature. The religion constitutes our varied human response to transcendent Reality. The Religion is that system of activities and beliefs directed toward that which is perceived to be of sacred value and transforming power. The Religion is a system of beliefs and practices by means of which a group of people struggle with the ultimate problem of human life. However, Religion is a system of symbols which acts to establish powerful, persuasive, and long-lasting moods and motivations in people by formulating conceptions of a general order of existence clothing these conceptions with such an aura of factuality that the moods and motivations seem uniquely realistic. So, all the Religion usually has to do with man's relationship to the unseen world, to the world of spirits, demons, and gods. A second element common to all religions is the term salvation. All religions seek to help man find meaning in a universe which all too often appears to be hostile to his interests. The world salvation means, basically, health. It means one is saved from disaster, fear, hunger, and a meaningless life. It means one is saved for hope, love, security, and the fulfillment of purpose. And wherever people live, whenever they live, they find themselves faced with three inescapable problems: how to win food and shelter from their natural environment the problem nature poses, how to get along with one another the social problem, and how to relate themselves to the total scheme of things the religious problem. If this third issue seems less important than the other two, we should remind ourselves that religious artifacts are the oldest that archaeologists have discovered. And all religion springs, in the last analysis, not so much from fear of natural death as of final destruction. And then, religion is the price we pay for being intelligent, but not as yet intelligent enough or the religions, then, are systems of meaning embodied in a pattern of life, a community of faith, and a worldview that articulate a view of the sacred and of what ultimately matters also.

Religion and belief !!!!!!

     

   For the people belief about Buddhism is mean that to the belief of Karma. And Karma Force are cornerstones in Buddhist doctrines. They are expounded very thoroughly in Buddhism. Karma refers to an important metaphysical concept concerned with action and its consequences. This law of karma explains the problem of sufferings, the mystery of the so-called fate and predestination of some religions, and above all the apparent inequality of mankind. Rebirth is another key doctrine in Buddhism and it goes hand in hand with karma. There is a subtle difference between rebirth and reincarnation as expounded in Hinduism. Buddhism rejects the theory of a transmigrating permanent soul, whether created by a god or emanating from a divine essence.  Maitri or Metta in Pali (Loving Kindness) and Karuna (Compassion) to all living beings including animals. Buddhism strictly forbids animal sacrifice for whatever reason. Vegetarianism is recommended but not compulsory. The importance of Non-attachment. Buddhism goes beyond doing good and being good. One must not be attached to good deeds or the idea of doing good; otherwise it is just another form of craving.
          In Buddhism, there is consideration for all sentient beings (versus human beings, as in other religions). Buddhists acknowledge/accept the existence of animals and beings in other realms in Samsara. No holy war concept in Buddhism. Killing is breaking a key moral precept in Buddhism. One is strictly forbidden to kill another person in the name of religion, a religious leader or whatsoever religious pretext or worldly excuse. Suffering is another cornerstone in Buddhism. It is the first of the Four Noble Truths. Sufferings are very well analysed and explained in Buddhism.  The idea of sin or original sin has no place in Buddhism. Also, sin should not be equated to suffering. Buddhist teachings expound no beginning and no end to one's existence or life. There is virtually no recognition of a first cause — e.g. how does human existence first come about? The Dharma provides a very detailed explanation of the doctrine of anatman {anatta in Pali} or soullessness , i.e. there is no soul entity (whether in one life of many lives). The Buddha is omniscient but he is not omnipotent. He is capable of innumerable feats but there are three things he cannot do. Also, a Buddha does not claim to be a creator of lives or the Universe.

Culture and Religion of the world

                   

        Welcome to About Buddhism. Here you will find some information on Buddhism to help you gain a basic understanding of this ancient religion and philosophy.n general, Buddhism is a way of finding peace within oneself. It is a religion that helps us to find the happiness and contentment we seek. Buddhists develop inner peace, kindness and wisdom through their daily practice; and then share their experience with others bringing real benefit to this world. They try not to harm others and to live peacefully and gently, working towards the ultimate goal of pure and lasting happiness for all living beings.

        There is no almighty God in Buddhism. There is no one to hand out rewards or punishments on a supposedly Judgement Day. Buddhism is strictly not a religion in the context of being a faith and worship owing allegiance to a supernatural being. 
No savior concept in Buddhism. A Buddha is not a savior who saves others by his personal salvation. Although a Buddhist seeks refuge in the Buddha as his incomparable guide who indicates the path of purity, he makes no servile surrender. A Buddhist does not think that he can gain purity merely by seeking refuge in the Buddha or by mere faith in Him. It is not within the power of a Buddha to wash away the impurities of others. 

A Buddha is not an incarnation of a god/God (as claimed by some Hindu followers). The relationship between a Buddha and his disciples and followers is that of a teacher and student. The liberation of self is the responsibility of one's own self. Buddhism does not call for an unquestionable blind faith by all Buddhist followers. It places heavy emphasis on self-reliance, self discipline and individual striving. Taking refuge in The Triple Gems i.e. the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha; does not mean self-surrender or total reliance on an external force or third party for help or salvation.  Dharma (the teachings in Buddhism) exists regardless whether there is a Buddha. Sakyamuni Buddha (as the historical Buddha) discovered and shared the teachings/ universal truths with all sentient beings. He is neither the creator of such teachings nor the prophet of an almighty God to transmit such teachings to others. Especially emphasized in Mahayana Buddhism, all sentient beings have Buddha Nature/ Essence. One can become a Buddha (a supreme enlightened being) in due course if one practises diligently and attains purity of mind (ie absolutely no delusions or afflictions). In Buddhism, the ultimate objective of followers/practitioners is enlightenment and/or liberation from Samsara; rather than to go to a Heaven or a deva realm in the context of Buddhist cosmology.
