Define "errors" in religious terms first!

Personally I don't think so.

But that is the beautiful nature of Buddhist philosophy.

It says that you can reject any idea if you cannot accept it by your own knowledge. So basically the humans have the right to agree or disagree with the teachings and that depends on the knowledge capacity of the follower.

So someone can see an error depending on their level of knowledge which others can view as correct. And no harm whatsoever.

Ah! just gave it a shot... anyway its the thought that does matters

 

[madurax86]

what is Karma ?

Its what goes through your mind wen u do/think/plan things...gud or bad. Its like some monitoring system inside u, monitors all things that go through your mind for example take two people they encounter some ants on the ground 1st guy just doesnt see them and just continues his walking on top of the ants, ants die but nothing registered on his mind about anything special or bad on what he did, the 2nd guy sees the ants and he plans to kill them waits for the right time and steps on top of the ants trying to kill them, it registers as bad karma u cant stop this event it just happens ....its the same for good things mind registers that on the same basis planing getting all the stuff needed, and finally doing it.

Are there any GOD concepts in Buddhism?

no single god but there are some what god like creatures on other dimensions they cant be seen with 3D vision like ours but they do exist not all of those are ghosts or evil creatures though. Buddhism is against the god created world theory it wasnt matter much talked about in Buddhism ..attaining nirvana is the main aspect of Buddhism thinking of how the world began wont get u anywhere

atheists say that there are no gods Buddhism doesnt say that. "deviyo" are just some other creatures like humans they are just not in our dimension and they have strengths and weaknesses when compared to human. Its not atheist or theist

no, im a theravada buddhist. The role of a bikku is to make people aware of dhamma to the laymen - normal people living normal lives. But bikkus are devoted to attaining nirvana they are always a few steps nearer to nirvana than normal laymen. They practice the most simple way of living without greed or passion for anything not even the passion to live ...the one who stops the need to live -passion, "asawa", greed for something or just hatred gets out of the circle of being born and dieing again and again and its called attaining nirvana. Its just removing the reason to be born; having good karma will support to attain it
Mahayana and Hinayana are various versions of Buddhism the closest scriptures to lord Buddhas dhamma are in theravada

http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/
* the text in this website doesnt include the whole of tripitika, i didnt find a 100% converted version still
practicing whats on those scriptures will make anyone another step closer to nirvana

jazaakallah for the explanation madurax86's

There is no compulsion for man to accept the TRUTH.

In ur point of view Buddhism is the truth and in my point of view Islam is the truth isn't it ?

Buddhist say that Buddhism is the TRUTH !!! and other religions are false

then what are the proofs that Buddhism produce ? I mean If Buddhism is the truth then what are the proof for that ?

example :

My religion is Islam. I believe al-quran is the gods word because quran produces some facts about science

http://elakiri.com/forum/showthread.php?t=129170

and those science facts are discovered byscientist recently (between 17-21 Century)

But the quran was sent down to earth ~1400 years ago

The Qur’an, however, is not a book of Science but a book of ‘Signs’. These signs invite Man to realize the purpose of his existence on earth, and to live in harmony with Nature.

so I ask myself how can prophet Muhammad (SAL) can tell these scientific facts which are 100% true and proved and also prophet Muhammad (SAL) was a UMMI prophet that means He doesn't know to read or wright

QUR'AN AND MODERN SCIENCE - Compatible Or Incompatible

like this does Buddhism provide any evidence or proofs to prove it as the TRUTH ?

Will reply you as soon as I get home... Now at work.. hang in there please, thank you!

As a Buddhist I do not say other religions are false, simply I follow Buddhism since it's what I feel truth for the level of my knowledge.
