Real Buddhist Faith

What is Real Buddhist Faith?

In fact, the essence of Buddhism, not superstition and the letter is different from Buddhism is Buddhism, Buddhism, the basic content is the same everywhere, as are permanent. Buddhism is big from the sleep of the Buddha Sakyamuni ─ ─ release a large statue of the sea Beizhi to show that it was full of wisdom, full of mercy, full of bright, cool comfort of a precept, according to the precept of this faith And the establishment of the Church form of Buddhism is.

The so-called faith, the belief is correct, just as the Xin Shi, a letter on the right track solution, the integrity of the line of the letter, the real trust.  Is the content of the letter should have three main conditions: the first is to be permanent, must be universal in the second and the third is the inevitability of the need.  In other words a way, we can see that in the past has always been the case, so now, so is bound to the future.  For whatever reason, or a matter of belief or a trust if it can not withstand the test of the three conditions, it is not superstition but a letter.  Of a religious doctrine, can not withstand the test of the times, pass environmental flow, not open new realms, it is superstition, not faith.

But it is an undeniable fact, is a letter of Buddhism, the Mahayana popular in the region, particularly in China, has always been the mountains, as well as a high priest of a small number of taxis which were gentlemen's proprietary, as non-faith, has not been universal, general The people are always in the release of the three religions of Confucianism and Taoism mixed with faith in the concept of life, such as for the spirits of the dead and worship of the convictions that is a ghost, not a product of Buddhism.

Is Buddha the Creator?

Buddhist belief, there is no concept of the Creator, is that people's awareness of the Buddha, the Buddha in the world are able to consciousness all the principles, but no change has been the state of the world; Buddha degrees of all living creatures are able to, the ability to get beings, By the people of the need to be able to decide themselves.  Buddha is the best Liang Yi, but for all living creatures prescription pain diagnosis, he served the drugs, they are bound too, if a person refuses medication, is also sympathetic with the cause of the Buddha; Buddha is the best guide, the people can lead a world away from the sea, Follow the guidance of the Buddha, must have, if not from the guide, but also helpless.  So, Buddha does not claim to the Creator, and even they do not want to Tuzhong only for formal worship Buddha; be able to practice the Buddhist precept, it means Jianfojingfo Otherwise, although the audience at the time of the Buddha, but also does not mean Xianfo.  Therefore, the Buddha is neither a Creator or God is where the Buddha taught the people Liku only way to get music, the Buddha himself has Liku Sidel, but it can not replace the people Liku Sidel.  Buddha is a great educator, mentor-day people, not a magician and illusionist home, he said that the family do not lie 'on behalf of the people of Atonement', he is all we have to teach people responsible for themselves ─ ─ 'Jhonggua get melons, species Dou Dou was. ’ '

What is Buddha?

Buddha, which is a transliteration of ancient Indian Sanskrit.

Buddha, with its own consciousness, awareness of others, awareness and all-knowing mean sleep all times, therefore, also known as the all-Homo sapiens, or are perceived.

Buddha, the Buddha is translated as Jane in the world, dating back about 2600 yrs ago(563 BC), born India Acropolis vastu Buddha Sakyamuni's Prince Edward, Cheng Road, known as Sakyamuni Muni.  Zuxing is Sakyamuni, which means Nengren, Muni is the ancient Indian saints for the common honorific title, meaning Jimo. This is the founder of Buddhism.

However, the precept of the Buddha, made us realize that the existing historical records, although only one person is Sakyamuni Buddha, but in the past long ago, the world had the Buddha was born, after a long future in this world Buddha was born there will now Shifangshijie, there are a lot of the existence of Buddha. Therefore, Buddhism is not unique to the Buddha, the Buddhist recognition of past, present and future, with numerous Buddha immeasurable, as well as all those who believe that all sentient beings (animals) Xinfo whether or not, has its own in the future become the Buddha Probably because I believe Buddhism: The Buddha is the people's consciousness, all living creatures are not yet aware of the Buddha.  In the state, although Van, in essence, the Buddha are equal, so that when the Buddha Buddhism not only to worship rather not admit that the creation of another universe, the existence of God. Therefore, Buddhists are atheists.
