When you think about Buddhism and Buddhism, you often think of a big fat bald man with a big smile on his face. The Buddha has many faces in various religions. The face you imagined is the face of a laughing Buddha who is Chinese interpretation of Buddha. Binding this face to the face of Buddhism is a common misconception among Americans, but the father of Buddhism is Siddhartha Gautama. As you can see in China, Buddhism could be transformed into Asian religion; it helps religion to keep living for centuries.
"Buddhist snapshot" on this website should be "Buddhist" doctrine and theme summary ". So please do not blame my error message. These views on "basic Buddhist beliefs" come from the French network. Now, perhaps they should not assume that all Buddhists believe these ideas. But I reacted little by little to the so-called "basic Buddhist beliefs" and showed that they contrasted with my beliefs, my beliefs with Christianity and the Lord Jesus. Regarding the Buddhist view of "sin", this is what the Buddha said: "17 The concept of sin or original sin has no place in Buddhism, and sin should not be identified with pain" . You agree that there is a fundamental difference between the teaching of Christ and Buddhist faith. You said that Buddhism taught that "the real nature is a basic good". The Bible is the opposite - "Everyone has committed sin and has not reached the glory of God."
In some religions, sin is the origin of human suffering. Buddhism has no sin; the root of human suffering is fanatical "ignorance". At the entrance of some Buddhist monasteries, there are statues of four frightening gods on display. Buddhism does not require faith or faith. If faith can be understood as believing in something not supported by evidence and understood through overcoming ignorance through understanding, faith is enough to overcome ignorance and suffering It is not. There is no need to understand the beliefs understood by other Buddhist religions.
