ISLAM AND BUDDHISM

This book is written by someone who does not understand Buddhism or due to lack of knowledge

Buddhism is the path to real happiness and freedom. We can wear anything decent, eat delicious meals and live in a palace while following the path preached by the Lord Buddha. No one will stop us because there’re no such rules about the dress code, food or housing in Buddhism except for nuns/monks. We enjoy so much of freedom .

If we want to get rid of craving(attachments) in order to get rid of suffering( like old age, sickness, death, association with unpleasant persons and conditions, separation from beloved ones and pleasant conditions, not getting what one desires, grief, lamentation) quickly we can join the order as a nun/monk and give up luxuries willingly .

We have this strong attachment towards ourselves and what we possess. When changes take place the way we do not like we suffer. If you follow the path preached by the Lord Buddha you get to develop the mind, so that you can use it like a microscope to see the reality of mind and matter. This will lead to the eradication of craving .

 

[Insight]

I forgot to mention something important. Buddhists do not practice blind rituals as mentioned in the book. The path to eradicate craving consists of three categories –
1. Sila
2. Samadhi
3. Panna

In sila we refrain from wrong conduct. Lay Buddhists observe five precepts (refraining from - killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, ingesting intoxicants) whereas nuns/monks observe a higher sila to quicken the process(it is not compulsory to become a nun/monk to eradicate craving).

Samadhi is to develop concentration through mindfulness

In Panna (wisdom) Knowledge gained through learning and comprehending dhamma (teachings of the Lord Buddha regarding the true nature of mind and matter)

In Buddhism there’s no rule stating that you should follow the above path or punish the ones who are breaking it. We follow the path willingly to realize four noble truths. That kind of freedom we enjoy and showing off is the last thing we need. I take this opportunity to pay homage to the Noble Triple Gem (Lord Buddha, Dhamma, and Sanga). Again, there’s no such rule that I should do this. But I do this out of devotion and gratitude .

For those who do not understand the four noble truths,

The allegations about Buddhism presented by Harun Yaha in those sites are funny and pathetic at the same time.

I saw one elakiri member has posted replies to Harun Yaha's arguments.
You guys and your Harun Yaha (and Zakir Naik too) were not in the world and not even in the "lovi" tree when that EK member posted some threads debunking Harun Yaha's and Zakir Naik's arguments regarding Buddhism.

Unfortunately, I can't remember the links for those threads bro.
I hope you can remember about which threads I am speaking, since I noticed that you spend most of your time in the religious section of this forum.
