I know sadartha existed but I do not believe in the Buddhist doctrine. If I'm correct, Sadartha never wrote one word of the Buddhist doctrine. So who wrote all these Buddhist manucripts and teachings? Who??? And why must so many people follow these teachings? Do these written Buddhist teaching have a divine origin or is it just writting by con artist through history?

bodomboy, you're starting to sound like a nut case. Anyone who reads your response can tell there is a ton of anger and anomosity within your words. You are far from being at peace or detatched. You've just proven to me and all those who are reading this that your understanding of Budhism is about the size of a walnut or even smaller. Because if you have truely understood the doctrine, your words would totally be void of any aggression, anger, etc..etc... You're a fake, a fony.

you tell me to go and enlighten others when it is you who need to be "enlightened" on what the buddha actually taught...you say that i have no idea of the facts with regards to the majority of all buddhist followers but yet you are the one making the claims that the majority of the asian population is practicing wrong buddhism...you are contradicting your self...how can you possibly say the majority of practitioners is off base?..you are the one who is off base...

you yourself do not know elementary teachings in buddhism such as concerns the workings of kamma..you do not even know the simplest teachings of the buddha....how can you possibly know who is practicing correctly or not?...there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY you can make the claims you do that the majority is not practicing correctly...you do not even know how to practice the buddhas teachings so how do you know who is or isnt?...you cannot account for the entire asian buddhist population...

And you have proven nothing, absolutely nothing at all because you have no idea of the facts with regards to the majority of all Buddhist followers regardless of what you claim the actually doctrine of Buddhism is. The actually teaching of Buddhism is irrelevant when the majority of the practictioners are all off base. And since majority rules, then the true doctrine is what the majority is practicing and is what the majority believes in and is only concern about.

well good for you bodomboy because you are the very rare breed of people who practice Buddhism differently from the majority of Buddist followers. I came from Asia, I am Asian. What you're telling me is not what is actually being practiced by the majority of the Asian population all over the world. I suggest go and enlightent each and everyone of them.

We need to differentiate between worship and veneration. To worship means to turn your conscience attention towards something. To venerate is to hold something in sacred thought.

"is buddha considered as a lord of buddhist?please answer anyone"--------------------Someone who realises their relative form is not their real form (human,ant, bee, beaver, slug, owl). What is a 'Lord' but just a made-up concept of class structure.--------------------"for millions of his life times"-------------------I feel this is a religious addon of popular Buddhism.I feel this is 'increasing the importance of' or 'making an idol' of the person's findings.
