Religion

What a ride.

Sitting with someone, who’s a Christian.

Saying that it’s wrong for me to believe in someone who was once human.

Saying that we who believes in him, does not believe in god.

Saying that the only way to heaven is believing in the existence of god.

Saying that those who help the needy will not go go heaven.

Saying that it’s foolish of us to follow blindly at him.

Saying that an educated person like me is wasting time on Buddha.

In short, he’s saying that his god is ultimate, his god is fair.

 

But then again,

did he understand about other people’s religion?

did he understand the truth behind Buddha’s teachings?

did he just say that god is fair because you believe in him?

 

little did he know that everything on earth is because of karma.

little did he know that Buddha’s teachings are teachings, not religions.

little did he know that Buddha wants us to learn and understand, and not follow blindly.

little did he know that Buddha came to earth in the form of human, just like how Jesus come to earth in the form of human.

 

I know these may spark lots of fights, but let me get this straight.

I have no right to comment on other people’s religion because I do not study them as well as you do.

I have no position to say that other religions are bad and mine is the best because every religion teaches the good.

I too, believe in the spirit of Buddha, that one should study them before believing in them. That’s the true path of life.

One should not convince others to change religion just because his is better than others. That’s why, Buddha didn’t ask you to change religion, but believe in the truth of life with great love and compassion.
