Buddhists follow the teachings of the Gautama Buddha.
Jesus knew that because people hated Him and His teachings, persecution and and other forms of hatred would always be directed towards those who follow Him.
People fear that which they do not know. There is nothing evil in the teachings that I can find. I believe that Buddhism is a good and sound philosophy. I'm a christian by the way (point of reference).But to the Buddhists he is the best thing that ever happened to them.~Good answer, my Christian friend. :-) ..I am a Buddhist... there is nothing in the Buddha's teachings that is evil. He promotes nothing but love. He teaches that one must forgive, and love, and help those in need. How is that evil?
Siddhartha Gautama never wrote down his teachings.
Those of van Gogh and Gauguin.
Honor those whose accomplishments and/or self-sacrifice merit honor.
Buddhists (those who follow the pure teachings of the Buddha) do not technically worship. However, they do meditate in groups at special temples called wats.
Buddhists are limited to following those teachings that they know of and of those, those that they want to follow. There is no compulsion to follow any, except enlightened self interest..Buddha only suggested that one could eliminate pain from one's life by eliminating desire. He then made suggestions as stated in the Eightfold Path.
The exact book that Buddhists use depends upon the sect they follow. For instance, those who follow the Nichiren sect use the Lotus Sutra as their guide.
The blanket term for those the adhere to and follow the teachings of Buddha are Buddhists. That being said there are many concepts to Buddhism that have been adopted by others. For example many Hindus hold Buddha and his philosophies in reverence, but are not necessarily Buddhists by self-identification.
They dealed with it by arresting them.
Buddhists do not have a specific creation story like those found in other religions. Instead, Buddhism focuses on the concept of dependent origination, where all things arise due to causes and conditions. This aligns with the teachings of impermanence and interconnectedness in Buddhism.
Except that all Buddhists trace their beliefs back to Buddha there is no one leader of "World Buddhism" any more than there is one leader of "World Christianity". Each sect and division has its own leader (e.g. The Dalai Lama is a high lama in the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" branch of Tibetan Buddhism)Answer:The leaders of Buddhism are the teachings of the Buddha and the disciples of the Buddha, those who follow exactly and faithfully these teachings in a united manner.So, if you follow exactly the teachings of the Buddha, then you are one of the leaders of the Buddhism.
Yes and those people are called Muslims. Like me.
Those who believe in Jesus Christ and follow his teachings can enter the kingdom of heaven.
Those who do not follow the teachings of Jesus and do not repent for their sins will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
A disciple is a student. All those that follow the teachings of Jesus and strive to learn from him are his disciples.
Yes, Buddhists can eat cereals, as there are no specific dietary restrictions against them in Buddhism. However, individual practices may vary based on personal beliefs, cultural influences, and interpretations of Buddhist teachings. Some Buddhists, especially those who follow vegetarian or vegan diets, may choose cereals that align with their ethical choices. Ultimately, the decision to eat cereals depends on personal preference and adherence to one's own principles.
