I've read a little...it seems really interesting. Somebody once said to me that Budhism was similar in some ways to the philosophy of the famous 18th Century Scot, David Hume. I have read Enquiries Concerning Human Understanding and I would definitely suggest that - it is very witty and well written. |

Just read about it, find out what you like and implement it in your own lifestyle. Don't just try to do what the books tell you. Make your own concept. I read some stuff about Zen Budhism and its pretty strange (in Dutch I would say VAAG) but some things make sense. Kinda kewl the concept of all things in balance and the non-existence of knowledge. Kinda liked it. #8P |

speaking of the religion course I did, we also studied Islam, and at the time I was reading The Wheel of Time series... anyways, it was pretty cool, because a lot of the "old tongue" words used in The WOT series are actually arabic words... for instance, Shai-Tan which is the evil guy in the book actually means Satan, or Devil in arabic... kinda cool actually... just a little tidbit for those interested in the wheel of time... |

Of religions that is some of the best I remember reading, they're really in touch with nature and have some good morals. I think einstein once remarked how he would choose that religion if he HAD to choose one. or it was hinduism, I don't know.. |

yeah, the whole point of Buddhism is something like trying to eliminate desire from within yourself, but that goal is a desire in itself, so that's where it kinda gets weird... but yeah, it's definately an interesting religion... you're not worshiping a god so to speak (although, I believe a small few do kind of worship Buddha), you're finding salvation within yourself... pretty cool idea... |

Buddhism is not a religion It is what you already are but just maybe don't realise yet. meditate until you feel more 'charmed' with things; more calmed... thats buddhism. |

Buddhism is a religion... meditation is not a religion, but meditation is just part of buddhism... you live your life according to the teachings of Buddha, and your goal is to reach Nirvana, and that's salvation... or is that Hinduism? Hmm, ah well, it definately is a religion whether or not you're for or against them... |

Buddhism may not be a religion, but kama sutru or however you spell it, should be a religion. A religion that is based on cool things... |

if youre good you go to heaven. THATS religion if you are nice you will be reborn as a cow. THATS religion if someone else believes in another god, KILL THEM. THATS religion. Buddhism is simply about realising the one-ness of things, and the simple methods of acheiving that realisation. Its cool because you don't have to go to buildings to worship or pay money to some 'middle man' dude . its doesn't seem to have dogmatic principles... |

have you studied Buddhism? I have... and it is a religion... it's not a religion like Christianity, or Islam where you worship a god, but it is still a religion... |

buddhists have certain things they have to do, and they follow the teachings of Buddha just as Christians follow the teachings of Jesus... it is definately a religion, but really, who cares... :) |

In every religion you will find various bits of wisdom along with various bits of ignorance. I think Budhism is worth studying at least at the surface level. I find it prosperous to not follow a religion but pick up on the various aspects that ring true in your life because, of course, all the answers lie within your self. |

buddhism is a religion to some.. just plain philosophy to others.. the form i studied was basically a athiest philosophy in my opinion but w/ morals and such.. sub-sections of buddhism are religious and worship buddha and also believe in reincarnation of all living things (meaning they believe in souls).. like buddha being reborn in a new host.. like the dalai lama for example... while other forms are just a system of thought.. not really worshiping a GOD(s) and do not believe in reincarnation.. there are so many versions of buddhism.. chinese, tibetan, japanese (zen), etc etc... its intresting to say the least... each version's views are a little different but have the same back-bone of moral beliefs.. |

i would recommend religion to no one. i do not like religion nor god beliefs, and i believe for those who do, it is their responsibility to find a religion. |

I've read a bit of Tibetan Buddhism (book of living and dying) and studied some Schopenhauer - who as far as I know was the first western philosopher to bring eastern thought into his own or something. Very interesting stuff ... nice concept - and in a general sense was what Nietzsche reacted against! ? Quite a compassionate take on things :) |

yeah, I have my beliefs personally, but I don't push them on anyone... it's up to the person to decide... anyways, buddhism is still a religion even though in some forms there isn't god worship isn't it? I mean a religion doesn't need to involve worshipping a god does it... I'm positive we learned that buddhism that doesn't involve worshipping a god is still a religion... but seriously, this is pointless... who really cares?... :) |

as far as organized religion goes, you've picked a decent one. They probably have historically caused the least large-scale suffering of any religion of its size. |

Budhism is NOT a religion but a way of thinking. People made it into a religion because they are to stupid to think for themselves and they need gods/godlikefigures/symbols to convince themselves that all questions can be answered. Fuck it. All is relative. |

Am I right to say that religion is not tangible ? Am I right to say that ideas are not tangible ? Am I righ to say that concepts are not tangible ? Am I right to say that Tango and Cash was once a concept ? Am I right to say that Tango and Cash was once non Tangible ? Am I therefore right to say that Tango and Cash is a religion ? If so this can also be modified for the Police Accedemy series : Police Accedemy 1 Police Accedemy 2 Police Accedemy 3 Police Accedemy 4 Police Accedemy 5 Police Accedemy 6 Police Accedemy 7 Police Accedemy 8 Police Accedemy 9 Police Accedemy 10 Police Accedemy 11 Police Accedemy 12 Police Accedemy 13 Police Accedemy 14 Police Accedemy 15 Police Accedemy 16 Police Accedemy 17 Police Accedemy 18 Police Accedemy 19 Police Accedemy 20 etc |
