Admin has reminded me of this thread in an email. Thanks, Admin.

I only can repeat what I said earlier.

It was in the Kalama Sutta that the Buddha has said this. No blind faith. Use your own gray matter (if you have any ). Let me emphasise that no other founder of any religion has advocated this kind of mental freedom.

That is true independence and freedom of thought. It means, stand on your own feet. Don't be dependent on any God, Allah or any other Almighty One. In this sense, the Buddha stands out as a great personage.

BTW, I am not a traditional Buddhist.

Mr.Senator,
I don't mind you appreciate your buddha, of course you r bound to do so as u r a buddhist.that is natural..but I feel that doesn't require u to tell don't depend on Allah, coz, as long as you appreciate ur buddha we dont have any problem, but not in the others cost OK..
By the way we are otherway around , I mean opposite to what u said.

sinhalaya may be modaya.. but they dont blindly worship a non existing god... nor follow the funny words of a pedophile, a mass murderer, psychopath etc. and also a stand up comedian...
I agree that all over the world muslims have shown that the actually do not feel PITY. and im not telling about all those quotations you people received from others...
hey and bdw hw is that your painless throught cutting maneuver ?? have you tried it on your self??

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.


Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.


Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.


Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.


Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.


But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”


-Gautama Buddha-

Perfect!
