Good answers for good questions!!

[ela_eluwa120]

its ok brother. i had confusion on similarity of your and hindu's style. therefore i asked question on your offer that you have not reward system and aspectation from God through worship then why you worship him like hindu's as they worship for reward and have aspectation from their idols and statues..,
its ok. this is your style of respect which is not familiar to non budhish.

Well, first of all, you have to stop your comparison with whatever Hindus do since that has nothing to do with your initial and specific question "why Buddhists 'worship' (I don't know what you mean by this word.) Buddha statues?"


Ok ...let us take you to the dictionary.

The word "worship" has several meanings.

Firstly, the meaning you have understood is, "appeal accorded/offered to a deity." which is similar to the meaning of the word pray, which is "petition or a solict help from a supernatural highier being." Muslims and may be Hindus mean these definitions when they use the word "worship."

Nevertheless, there is another definition to the word "worship", and it is respect/ condition of respecting for someone or something worthy.(worth + ship), and that exactly what Buddhists do. They pay their respect, gratitude, homage to the highly blessed one, the noble and perfectly enlightened one, Lord Buddha.

I have a question.

If reality is devoid of an ego or self, why is there good and evil? moreover, what is karma

I have a question.

If reality is devoid of an ego or self, why is there good and evil? moreover, what is karma

This is subtle question; and as a result, its hardly explainable; moreover, hardly understandable. I don't claim that I can answer perfectly, but I will try the best.

To begin with, an ego or a self is not necessarily required to commit good and/or evil.

Plus, the ego or the self is not the origin of karma, instead the intention is the origin, and karma is the result of the intention, and karma wipaka is the result of karma.

Due to fact that there is no ego or self, karma wipaka is experienced neither by you nor by another person. Nevertheless, karma wipaka exist.

This life is a result of what we have thought in the previous life. And the next life is a result of what we think in this life.

Proof of reincarnation are basically three types.

First type is the information about past lifes gained through hypnosis. Second, the information gained from children who claimed to have past lifes, and later verified these information are true. Third, small kids who have unbelievable and extraordinary skills, but they never earned these skills in this life, so these skills would have been earned in previous lifes.

Brother sorry, i think these are not proof but just hypothesis and self created concepts to back rebirth concept, is there any material or scientific proof for this rebith ?
is this not infact a supposition to back the concept ?
clear answer is requested.

another thing:
i think if we see this concept in broad sense we will conclude to the point that there is a supernatural power who know all people deeds, measure them as good or bad, then reward them in the next life, and control all the proceedure with accuracy.

Hafisaad I have clearly told you this earlier.

Do we have direct evidence to prove Karma / Reincarnation -> No
Do we have direct evidence to prove existence of Allah? -> No
According to your logic used in previous posts
Lack of evidence of presence does not equate to absence.

If you want to prove whether there is rebirth, first try using the same principles to prove there is Allah.

We can ask these questions in another thread like this if someone is brave enough to start one. But not in this thread.

1 - ok, i come to know you have also blind faith.
2- You can not match this close and illogical concept with the concept of of God in any sense which has great proof from divine
scripture to the creation of universe..
3 - Some atheists claim that the concept God was invented to explain the question of creation of universe and human
being. Some theist on the other hand claim that God is the only possible and plausible answer and the theories of big bang
and evolution are created to answer this question.i have explain in my thread about big band and evolution theory, you
can judge which side claims have weight.
4- You are diverting to this topic, i will not make fun with you like you do irrationally in Islamic thread. I have asked the
question to clear the point .Now its ok .

1 - ok, i come to know you have also blind faith.

OK Lets start it. Both of us are in blind faith.

2- You can not match this close and illogical concept with the concept of of God in any sense which has great proof from divine-
scripture to the creation of universe..

Now you are trying to say Quran > Tipitaka. Yes, that is blind faith. Yor logical explanation is derived from Quran which is non-sense to me. Now you might feel vice versa. The fact is existence of Allah cannot be proved with concrete evidence other than using the Quran. If you think it is correct, why not proving reincarnation using Tipitaka.

Why one God? why not many? I have raised this many times, but you never came up with a intelligible answer.

The same universe / human being etc. have great flaws in the systems. Flawed creation -> Flawed creator? If the creator was the nature then flaws can be accepted. If it the prefect God flaws cannot be accepted.

4- You are diverting to this topic, i will not make fun with you like you do irrationally in Islamic thread. I have asked the question to clear the point. Now its ok

Your ulterior motives are so clear cut. When this question was answered many times, you have brought his up once more. You can argue to show there is no reincarnation. But I'll use every single argument of yours to show that there is no Allah

mate don't fall tho hafisaad's trap. He'll cite this thread in the future to create confusion among Buddhists about reincarnation. Hafissad never gives an inch when Islam is questioned. So don't give him even half an inch, because what ever he does is to promote Islam.

Both of you, please stop arguing. it only detracts other users. Blind faith, Qu'ran, big bang, evolution, Allah all are not relevant in this thread. (please re-read the first post.)

A Doctor only prescribe the medicine, but he doesn't feed it. Similarly, hafizsaad's question was answered, and whether or not to admit it is up to him.

Ok. its true the subject of the thread is not matched with discussion.
I have answered him with logic many time for his question about God. He dont want to take, so i dont want to waste more time.

Well, thanks, back to the topic of this thread.
