so you saying "cause and effect is not true" according to buddism? or its half true and half not? if thats what you trying to say "thats what i said as well, read it"

also buddy dont like reading external links all can google and put the link for others to go an read.that wont construct a good dialog. just put whatever you have in simple terms so that all can understand.

also since you have to continue i guess its good for me to wait n c wat u have to tell fully..

madurax86's -

i know science cant explain everything infact if u read my post ive told that.but if you say we should neglect science and make the future path then that path will go backwards as i belive.

but what i actually was trying to say was if its a not a physical path that buddism leads to whats that it offers to common man. after all one should live and finish this worldly life first right. and during that time he has to use social struture (family,community,country..etc),respect natural laws (survival etc)...so you will need a a set of rules to bring up things as a community.but budda with all respect havent had faith in these stuff he's last conclution was to go away.

thats where buddism faces the problem of mass guiding. its only practical in individual level not collective level.

if you just take for example sri lankan politics involvements of buddist monks recently one thing is definitely for sure. those monks not gonna attain nibbana if they continue like this.simple cos what they trying to do is what siddartha gawthama left saying useless.so thats a point where there social life and personel phylosophy contradicts which i was talking about before.

i really dont think talking religion is a problem if people who talk know how to handle things.after all its better to put things on the table rather than keepin other will take if want or leave if not.

u r a complete mess man; buddhism has 2 parts one for the normal laymen life and the other for achievin nirvana. If u dont knw abt this pls stop arguein now. All the questions u r talkin abt have been answered in 'panadurawadaya' i dont want to hold it against ny1 o nythin i reccomend it to u coz ur tryn to go in da wrong way. Those buddhist monks went to da parliment to save the country few hav fallen into the laymen minister style i hav not comments on dat bt the others did sumthing, lord buddha never said to goto da woods n achieve nirvana for all ppl its for the ppl hu want to do it. For others they can enjoy lyf; and lord buddha taught how to live not gainin to extremes. Buddhism is a peaceful philosophy bt it never says to give up in an invasion or in a treat ...please read n argue no point of continuing without the minimal knowledge abt the subject u r messed up wit facts

OK guys...seems majority of the forum doesnt even like to talk about this...

although few had a proper dialog. others think its an offense to buddism.i just like to talk something like this rather to sirasa super star or any sort of that junk.

i can still post and seems it'll stir things and i know thats not what all come here for. and also i have nothing with buddism or anyone practising it.

maybe i shouldnt put things that straight in this forum. still what i posted are my opinions and still they are.

and sorry if i had offended anyone.

take care.

oh and happy new year to all of you guys...

NO Offense.but how is buddism proved by science?

i thought it contradicts. cos it doesnt recognize natural selection, food chain...etc etc

First of all.. Buddhism is not a proper religion. It is a Philosophy.

And the rates....

That's because some people change their religion for food, money and respect.

E.g. J R Jayawardena, Ranil Wickramasinghe changed from Christian to Buddhism in order to win elections.

Buddhists also the same. They change their religion in a bigger proportion than christians change in to buddhism.

Anyway... if someone is going to change their religion for any reason, then they don't deserve to be a person of that religion.

Oh and another thing... When you say Christianity, you include a whole set of religions together. i.e. Roman Catholic, Anglican, Methodist, Yehowah witness, Christian etc.

So according to these stats Islam ahould be the most popular religion in the world.

Anyway who cares.... every religion is telling to do the correct thing. ;)

It's A SecreT.............
Of course Buddhism is popular
We can't say it's nt propular.
Just think how many nt buddhist people are their who follow the correct path which budhism teachs, bt they are nt buddhists.
Our religeon is becoming famous thatz why some people try to avoid us being popular.
