How are people feeling about the cultural diversity in America and the “voices” that are now being heard across the Nation?

“Also BUDha said that after his death, his all teachings will be corrupted by deceived priests”
Actually he said that what he said wasn’t gospel, “I was not aware I was instructing, I did not know I was leading an order” _Sound familiar? The origonal buddha said this after being asked who shall continue his teaching. It was his thoughts, nothing more, he made that quite clear.
The one reality has nothing to do with god. It just informs people that the truth is the truth.
I don’t believe there is any promise of paradise to any of us. We all have to earn our joys, deal with our sorrows, and be willing to grow from what we “know” to realize that each day is new an unfolding. Who can see beyond this day with certainty and know the next?
Absolutely not, some Atheists are better persons than a lot of religious Christians or Muslims. However, it is not to say that those people follow religion 100%. Once that do, are good and do relate to others in a good way.
At the end of the day, there is no promise of Paradise to a Buddist. Think about that. This wold not even 1/1000000 of hear after. this life is a test only, we should strive to be good now, to earn our place in paradise.
In your application of Buddhist practices in your life and living that helps you to see with more clarity or is the effort/desire to see more clearly what brings living into focus?

Is it the people that make the structure of religion and government an imperfect reflection of what might have been an altruistic impulse or is it the lack of “truth” that make our efforts to advance compassion, love, and our deepest hopes flawed in their execution?
Is religion neccessary to be an ethical decent person? Or do you find that even people with religion as their core focus are still imperfect just the other people they share this world with?
Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to view the clips and share information you have researched. I am wondering if you find people more aware of these connection between cultures and countries with in the region then here in the West paradigm?
Now Jesus never taught to his Followers who were just Muslims (Christian is invented term) that he is son of God or he is GOD etc, But Paul taught them. So prevailing so called Chritianity has to do noting with real teachings of Jesus, They are followers of Paul in fact. In same way Prevailing Buds have no any relation with the real teachings of Budha. They have invented their own stories and has attached them to Budha
If u read Gaspel of Budda and ponder in authentic history, It becomes so clear as sun on Sky that Budha always told people “there is only one reality” which in Arabic is “La Ilaha ILL-Allah” >>> there is no god but ONE GOD. He taught same as was taught by all prophets. Also BUDha said that after his death, his all teachings will be corrupted by deceived priests & It happened in fact
In arabic there is no “P” so Kapal is given in Quran as Kafal”. If u born in New York, in High-Arabic, U can be called DUL-New York” which mean a person from New York. Quran uses the word “DUL-Kapal”–> A Person from Kapal. Bud was also known as very well in his time Kapili–>From Kapal–> in Arabic Dul-Kapal as is in Quran
Jesus spent many yr in Kapal Wasto the town where Budha (Dul-Kapal in Quran)was born in order to learn and then teach. This is historical fact that cannot be denied. Budha was prophet of GOD but later his all teachings were twisted and corupted. I have read lot lot abt Buda and I am 100 % sure that he is the DUL-KAPAL TWICE MENTIONED IN QURAN as a great person
Incorporating the most basic principles of Buddhism into your daily living has an immediately positive effect on your state of being and to those whom you interact with. It is a natural repercussion which is rewarding for everyone involved. I am not even a buddhist, but apply Buddhist philosophy to my life.
once you study Islam, and understand Islam, you will than understand what i am talking about. Than I don’t expect nothing less form you, but to come back to this page, and make the same statement that i’ve just made. If your foundation is wrong (referring to Religion) how can you be an ethical and good person? What defines ethics? Are you ethical to yourself?
wow, is that racist.
buh BYE dsepanenko
I get disgusted by people who think ETHICS & ETHICAL LIVING has to occur ON THEIR TERMS, rather than as an examination of actual ethical behaviour.
Theocracy is such bullshit, only self-examination of behaviours & attitudes creates a sustainable society…
this guy has no solid foundations other than his own feeling of being proud, feeling good and etc. He lives in his small little world, he does what he feels is right…. come on now, is that what true God is all about? Give me a break… Find true religion, find only one God, and you will understand how small and pathetic your current concept of religion is. Explore Islam, Learn Islam, Embrace Islam.
very interesting, please read too more about bahai faith,look my video too, thanks
laypeople are rated but is monastics i myself as a buddhist is neither.
