We tend to form our religions around prophets. God seems to be the only constant across the lines of religion. Were it not so, our sacred scripts would be different from each other.Old Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333172930957879928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968172.post-56065135510311137782010-06-15T08:07:23.373-07:002010-06-15T08:07:23.373-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tiffany at Patheyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17730314322737054299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968172.post-31912389919953926402010-06-15T08:07:22.532-07:002010-06-15T08:07:22.532-07:00Hi Rabbi Rami,

Japan mixes Buddhism with Shinto, the priests are married with children and run businesses and eat meat. <br /><br />Thailand is also a predominantly Buddhist country, and well known for its flesh kindness to middle aged Northern European men. Farmers sell their daughters happily for the money. I'm not sure how Buddhist it all is. <br /><br />Alas, I also worked for the Salvation Army for a while... and while I thought I'd be working for a 'charity' I discovered the same greed, dishonesty and petty thinking I'd found every where else. <br /><br />Human is human. <br /><br />Thanks for the post.Tiffany at Patheyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17730314322737054299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968172.post-52329387050053927702010-06-11T16:57:07.263-07:002010-06-11T16:57:07.263-07:00What makes Buddhism not like other religions is th...What makes Buddhism not like other religions is the Noble Eightfold Path, which is designed for meditation.

Just go look in the mirror at those pearly whites and smile! <br /><br />The thing I appreciate with Buddhism (at least my very small understanding of it)is the idea that you should investigate for yourself to find the truth.<br /><br />Kalama Sutta<br /><br />1.Do not believe just because it is a tradition maintained by oral repetition. 2.Do not believe just because it is an unbroken succession of practice. 3.Do not believe merely because it is hearsay. 4.Do not believe just because it is in the scriptures. 5.Do not believe just because it fits with one's point of view. 6.Do not believe just because it is correct on the ground of metaphysical theories. 7.Do not believe just because it appeals to one's consideration. 8.Do not believe just because it agrees with one's opinions and theories. 9.Do not believe just because the speaker appears believable. 10.Do not believe just because the speaker is our teacher. Kalamas, whenever you realize by yourselves that these are unwholesome, harmful or are condemned by wise people, and whoever fully undertake or observe them, they will lead to uselessness or suffering, you should abandon them. Kalamas, whenever you realize by yourselves that these are wholesome, unharmful or are admired by wise people, and whoever fully undertake or observe them, they will lead to usefulness or happiness, you should undertake them.Just me.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03278907125754497884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968172.post-25530676502993249692010-06-11T08:40:09.437-07:002010-06-11T08:40:09.437-07:00No, Rabbi Rami, you win.
