From your signature line and your 2nd paragraph, it is very clear you failed to grasp even the most basic of buddhist teachings.

Let me explain..

Look at your second paragrah. You have violated the sacred buddhist precept of right speech.

4. I undertake to abstain from wrong speech: telling lies, deceiving others, manipulating others, using hurtful words.

Second you sig of 'may buddha bless you' shows that you've confused buddha with jesus. Unlike jesus who lives on eternally, buddha is dead. Died 2500 years ago. Nirvana. No reincarnation means he cant bless you. He is not a god, but you regard him as one. You are prime to convert to christianity any time.

The plain truth is that many are delusional. VERY delusional. I remember 2 forumners here or CNA forum who claim that they are already at near-enlightenment state!:biggrin:

Religion makes ppl delusional .. That's the most scary part of religion which I find it amazing :wink:

As for Enlightenment, the term can be used two ways. Firstly, Enlightenment (aka Liberation, Awakeness, etc, etc.) is our essential nature. Secondly, with Self-Realization and the understanding that goes with it regarding the world, it is said they become Enlightened. They didn’t become anything…they just realized what already is (their essential nature and being). the great irony is that when you are “Enlightened”, you realize it was always there and have gained nothing…all the searching was for nothing :wink: whahhaha.

True, religion makes ppl delusional.....it's long proven. Buddhism is a teaching, a learning process not a religion. We can start this journey together.....

I think the answer to this is BOTH, but it depends what you mean by a 'religion' and what you mean by 'philosophy of life'.

It is a religion because it involves the elements of belief, faith and self- transformation, which do belong to some philosophies as such but which I believe are more characteristic features of religions. In all religions I would argue that faith and belief are paramount and also the self-transforming aspect. People turn to religion very largely because they thought it can improve their life, their self or their moral conduct or to take greater comfort in life. This is why religion is termed the 'opium of the masses' it is a 'bolster' which "protects" ppl from the bad times. At the very least, it offers that to us in the form of 'understanding which gives comfort'. In this sense a religion is a set of beliefs which we take comfort from but which cannot be conclusively proved objectively as true or false. So Buddhism is religion too :wink:
