Buddhism

There is more than one religion practiced in China, although Buddhism is practiced most often. Other religions practiced are Taoism, Christianity, and Confucianism.

The 8 fold path

The Japanese adopted forms that met with their needs.

Hinduism made an impact because it gave birth to other religions such as Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism. Hinduism also had an impact on economy by the entire community learning to be self-reliant.

War, just like all types of negativity, is a result of confusion about what will create lasting happiness. We are very attached to pleasure, and very averse to pain or suffering, so we grasp after those things we think will bring pleasure. In actuality, it is the attachment and aversion which cause suffering, not the things we are attached to or averse to. Wars happen when groups of people convince each other that having something will bring them all pleasure or at least pleasure in success or achievement. Wars show that people are deluded about the true nature of reality.

Well the Buddha was a hindu sant/satguru(enlightened and blessed soul)

which in simple english means someone who is at one with god,but not god directly.

Sants/Satgurus are worshiped alot by dharmic religions, as strong belief and acceptance(through ethier mediation or direct speech) as a disciple of one particular sant/satguru is aboutsely vital for someone to attain either enlightenment, nirvania or both.

I mean many would probably say that other relgions and buddhism are different over their views of god, but actually buddhism does have a dharmic god like equivalent, it is called Nirvania.This is the case because in hinduism and sikhism they both believe that god is a peaceful place, home to the soul(atman/jiva) and free of suffering, and buddhism believes in this but calls it Nirvania.

The Amida Nyora is displayed in Phoenix Hall in Kyoto, Japan. It was created by Jocho Busshi and is a Buddhist statue. The form and expression on the statue established a direct and intimate relationship between the worshiper and the Buddha.

Today, Buddhism is probably least evident in many of the Muslim nations. Countries like Saudi Arabia, outlaw any religion other than Islam.

The Four Noble Truths, according to the historical Buddha, supplied the framework for the 45 years he taught after reaching enlightenment. 1. There is suffering. 2. Suffering has a cause. 3. THere is an end to suffering. 4.There is a way to the end of suffering. His first truth, "There is suffering" means that as long as we percieve our lives and world as we know it as being permanent, lasting and real, we are suffering. Suffering is also known as ignorance.

I think you mean 'enlightened self-interest'. This is the idea that we do not have to be greedy and selfish to get what we want out of life, which is the approach taken by those with a rather unenlightened view. Rather, if we each act in a spirit of mutual cooperation, ethical duty and service to others, then that will tend to be reciprocated, and we all benefit in the long run. In other words, you can serve your own interests by considering and serving the interests of others.

Two monks named Moton and Chufarlan went to China in 67 CE using the "Silk Road". This was the introduction of Buddhism to China

The silk road helped spread Buddhism, by cultural diffusion. When buddhists would travel the silk road to trade goods and suplies, Buddhist teachings would be passed on!

I dont think the blackman teachers would appreciate me giving you the answer.

The Eightfold Path is not the same as the Middle Way. The Eightfold Path refers to several suggestions for living a "good" life which minimizes suffering. The Middle Way is the Buddha's observation that neither luxury or severe deprivation of bodily needs leads to more rapid enlightenment.

The original Buddha was from India, but many of the Dravidians and indigenous people had dark complexion. Black doesn't mean African. There are many black all over the world but they are not African. The Buddha was most likely black not Indo-European.

Siddhartha Gautama had a half brother, Nanda, and a half-sister, Sundari. As far as we know he was the first child born to his mother and father, and his mother died very soon after he was born. However, we do not have good records from the times and there could easily have been other half-siblings.

Put it in Your Living Room with his own place

surrounded by some Good luck Figures

The main rule for placing a Buddha properly is to give him a lofty perch, such as a mantle, raised platform or tall shelving unit. He should also not be surrounded by meaningless clutter and geegaws.

Enhance your thinking by placing Buddha on a desk where you normally do your writing, reporting, creating or other brain activity. He can sit on a raised platform near your printer, next to your computer or in your artist studio, as long as you don't paint on him.

Give your garden a boost with your Buddha statue gazing out over your lawn and flowers. Your Buddha statue can bring enhanced growth by channeling the positive energy of the universe throughout your landscaping. Make sure, however, that your Buddha is an outdoor version if you choose this option so he doesn't crack and rot in the sun.Have your whole house swirling with positive Buddha energy by giving him a throne in the middle of your home. Any central area will do, as long as he's not obstructing any pathways, which will block the flow of energy and may make you stub your toe, or is crammed off to the side so he's not properly honored.

Buddha Did Get Married to a beautiful woman, but the night he left the palace he was a father to a beautiful baby boy.

In its simplest form you become a Buddhist when you choose to be a Buddhist. However, in a more formal sense many sects have ceremonies where you 'take refuge' in the three jewels the Buddha, the sangha (community) and the dharma (teaching).

Answer ON BECOMING A BUDDHIST. His Holiness, the XIV Dalai Lama, has stated many times that it may be best for Westerners to remain with their current religious attachment and not enter into the official posture of becoming a Buddhist. The perspective is that conversion is not part of Buddhism and so, one would not convert or encourage others to convert. One realizes Buddhism, usually after contemplation and study of Buddhism dharma. However, should one wish to begin practicing Buddhism, there are many great Buddhist websites, and www.dalailama.org is perhaps the best starting point. Because the Dalai Lama is aware of ALL types of Buddhism, his site offers enough information for someone to begin the practice, study and steps toward Buddhism. Since Buddhist teachings outline the impermance of all things, striving to be a Buddhist is actually in contradiction to being a Buddhist. First and foremost, one wants to be born Buddhist in the next incarnation. In the meantime, do no harm to others or yourself.
