But out of respect to the rest of the poster, this will be my last comment on this religious matter, because we all know how it will end up.

 

THANK YOU NOW

What kind of bullshit is this? A white man or Middle Eastern man pretending to be a Buddhist and spewing this kind of bullshit? I grew up around Buddhists monks, followers, etc., and even had gone to temples many many times. They don't pray to anyone? BULL focking SHIT! Then what the hell did those monks, sisters, friends and I pray to? I've personally known more Buddhist monks then you people can count. And yes, they all consider it a religion. Maybe the kind of Buddhism you've "practiced" is a pretentious, fake kind, but they kind I grew up around with is purely a religion, a dedicated kind at that. The Buddhists I've known do pray to a deity (although different forms, depending on the culture), but most refer to that deity as Buddha.

The millions of Buddhists who often go to temples, burn incense, kneel down in front of a Buddha statue, and pray. That is the very definition of a religion. Damn crack smokers!!!

 

[QUOTE=whiteflash,Sep 12 2010, 09:57 PM] I like this catholic thinks he knows what Buddhism is because he's Asian, and can read 'references'.

 

oh lawd.
