Buddhists are not Idolaters. (Polite response for a uncivilized comment)

[ela_eluwa120]

A'wageyma Kaputu warchas Watunu Gal pilima wakata mal thiyanneyth naha..

Ehenam Ara Oluwa kotase Kaputu warchas Watunu Pilimeta Umba Dana gaga Wati Watee Wandinney A' Pilimeta Adala Kenage Oluwe Kaputu Warchas thiyena Nisada? Ehema Oluwe Kaputu warchas Thyena tharamata thamai wandanawa hariyanney Kiyalada??

Idolatry generally means erecting images of certain gods and goddesses in some theistic religions in various forms by devotees for prayers, for seeking blessings and protection, and for bestowing upon the supplicaters health, wealth and prosperity.

Some supplicaters even pleaded with the image for the fulfillment of various personal aggrandizements even to the extent of successful performance of nefarious deeds. They also sought forgiveness for sins committed by them.

The worship of the Buddha statue is quite a different aspect. Even this word 'worship' is also not quite appropriate.Paying homage should be the correct term. Buddhists do not normally pray to images and idols; what they do is to pay homage to a great religious teacher who is worthy of honour.

The images are erected only as a mark of respect and appreciation for the highest achievement of enlightenment and perfection by an extraordinary religious teacher. To a Buddhist the image is merely a token, a symbol, a representation which helps him to recall or to remember the Buddha.

Buddhists sometimes use the image or picture of the Buddha only as an object on which they can concentrate and to control their mind.

Amongst the objects of meditation, visual objects have a better effect on the mind. Amongst the five senses, the object which we grasp through eye-consciousness has a greater influence over the mind than the objects that are grasped through any of the other senses.

The eye organ can influence the mind more than any other organ. Therefore the object grasped through the eye organ helps the mind to achieve better and easier concentration.

Mr, What matters is the comment, not the person or the context.

This is in a separate thread because this topic is different from the topics of the threads where the quoted comments are made. Plus, there is no need to commit any "jilmal" here against anyone and you can clarify it by looking at the language style of the first post.

Brother,

1. It is up to the un-bias reader to decide whether you did it or not.

2. That is why the link for the original post is included with the quote. Anyone can click on

and it brings the reader to the original post.

3. So, you think that saying the truth is a "jilmat", aren't you.

Answer:
Kaaba is the Qibla i.e. the direction Muslims face during their prayers. It is important to note that though Muslims face the Kaabaduring prayers, they do not worship the Kaaba. Muslims worship and bow to none but Allah.
It is mentioned in Surah Baqarah:
"We see the turning of thy face (for guidance) to the heavens: now shall We turn thee to a Qiblah that shall please thee. Turn then thy face in the direction of the Sacred Mosque: wherever ye are, turn your faces in that direction."
[Al-Qur'an 2:144]

Bro... it's same here, buddhists are not adore to idols,it's a symbolic act

note this

The images are erected only as a mark of respect and appreciation for the highest achievement of enlightenment and perfection by an extraordinary religious teacher. To a Buddhist the image is merely a token, a symbol, a representation which helps him to recall or to remember the Buddha.

Buddhists sometimes use the image or picture of the Buddha only as an object on which they can concentrate and to control their mind.
