Alright this is bloody sick having listening to people from all religion PROMOTING their religion. Basically I don't include Islam due to certain binding of laws in my country that I'm not suppose to comment on Islam. So what I am going to say or post is DEFINITELY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM OR MUSLIM COMMUNITY. So don't come saying you want to sue me or anything. THIS HAS GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM!!! Alright I know some of you might not agree with me but come on, accept the fact!

Right, First of all, I am a BUDDHIST. However being a buddhist doesn't stop me from reading other books from other religion. I read the bible (briefly) I read many crishtian stories (some are quite enjoyable) I read about Hinduism and many many. So what actually I want to comment about is not the religion. It is the followers or maybe i should say those fenatics. They really practise their religion to the extend of discriminating others' religion and sometime they even have the thinking of getting more people to believe in their GOD will secure them a place in heaven. This is not part of their teaching as far as I know. All religion tought us to do good. In Buddhism we have Panca Sila (5 precepts) in Christianity they have 10 admenmants (i think i spelled it right) and so on. So why do we critisies others? I mean who in the right mind will say that Killing is rigth we should kill more!! Nazi is an exception - he's insane anyway. Yes there are some times we don't agree with certain practise of other religion. Take for example christian don't take the food we used to worship our ancestor. They say it's GHOSTS' food. While other don't agree that we should only thank God for the food on our table. Don't you think so?

For those who doesn't understand let me explain it. Food used to worship our ancestors. Basically what is wrong with that food? Don't you eat left overs of your father before? I had it so many times that I think I lost count of the times. The only different is that one is after he died and one is before he died. Question being brought up!
Question 1, I thought christians said that those who believed in GOD will go to heaven? So they are not ghost right?
Question 2, does the GOD here means the only and almighty GOD?
Question 3, are you saying that those who doesn't believe in GOD will go to hell?
Let me give you my view. Yupz they are not ghost, and certainly I don't think he is the only GOD. As for the last one. If it's really like that, then hell will be full la may dear friends!!! So basically there are angels who are not believer of GOD. So how can you be so sure that your ancestor is not one of them? If they are ghost, shouldn't they be in hell and how are they suppose to come up and eat those thing? So basically those food are save to be eaten!

As for the prayer before meal. Yupz it's a good practise. I do agree that we had to be thankful to those who provide us the food. Buddhists do have contemplation on the food they eat but many doesn't practise it. Christian thank their God for they food Buddhist took the food as a medicine to keep their life going on. Greatfulness is what I admired from the Christians. They thank their God for the food and they eat it so happily. Erm... just a suggestion, why don't you add in a little bit more on your prayers next time. Thank your father for working for the food and thank the cook who prepared the food. Just before you say amen.

Another thing I am not quite agree with them is that why they are not allowed to read other religions' teaching? As I had said. All religion tought us to be good. So our basic is the same just that what we are doing is not the same. This is just like Chemical engineering and Civil engineering. Both share the same basic but ended up in different field. So what's wrong with reading it? I mean if we read to understand and we read for fun? I mean come on la! It's so ridiculus that christian are not allowed to read Harry Potter? They are not allowed to watch Da Vinci Code? Joke of they century man!!! Accept it as it is. When people criticise you don't get angry in the first place, turn around and look at yourself. Is it true that I'm like what they said? If so thank them for telling you and CHANGE! If they are spreading rumours, YOU THINK YOU CAN STOP THEM FROM SPREADING AR? So take the thing as an entertainment. Life is short, enjoy before you die. While enjoying please don't hurt someone else ok? I know some people can't take practical joke and they will get you into trouble.

Last but not least. My teacher aka The Buddha tought me that I shall learn up what is good and forget what is bad. So I shall apply it in this case. We shall learn what is good and forget what is bad. Learn from the christians for their greatfulness. Learn from other for their good qualities no harm what? If others' religion is misleading them. Tell them once. If they still don't get it that is their believe. What can we do? We had not seen the truth. Those had seen the truth is not here to tell you what was it like. No one had seen God. I had not seen Buddha. Its just our believe. We share the same basic. To practise good and to achieve eternal happiness. Ver. Suvvano is not very pleased with this phrase. He said it's EVER LASTING PEACE.

Stop quarelling and pulling like a kid playing tug o war. It's stupid. Go spend some time learning up some good qualities and make your life a better and more enjoyable one. TATA.
