My friend and I just tried to figure out Buddhism. I dunno if we got anywhere close, but this is what we ended up with: Buddhists are like hardcore gamers who aren't allowed to be hardcore because they use strategy guides, except they keep having to use the strategy guide over and over because they keep forgetting to save every time they stop playing the game. It's a bit of a gaming analogy in terms of religion, I guess? It all started with how we figured that becoming Buddha was like reaching LVL 99 with your stats maxed out. And my friend figured that once you hit max enlightenment, you become a Buddha. And since Buddhists are trying to reach enlightenment... Oh, I dunno. =w=; [cookie.]

Fear the Cloud! Fear the Cloud well...
o: Cookie, you don't go to temple? Like, how do Korean People have a funeral? Do you like call in a priest or a Buddhist monk?
Well yeah, when going into temple, when you have to get down on your knees and pray, you needs to take off your shoes. Even when I like go to family friends, all Viet, we must take off our shoes inside the house.
Well, I also have no objection when being a Buddhist. I don't need to go to temple unless someone, that I know or family friend knows, dies. I can celebrate any holiday. ;D And I don't have to go to like Church on Sundays or anything.
><
.. Or the Cloud shall cry out a rain storm on your parade!

Hmmnn... FFIII? FFCC? =w=; Well, they're not that violent. :> No bloodshed, not disembodiment, nada! &Tilly~ Well, I'm no good with percentages but I'm pretty sure that the majority of Korean people are either Buddhist or Christian. My family, for one thing, is Christian. I go to Church every Sunday and on (some) religious holidays. ...But we still take off our shoes inside the house. It's an Asian thing. I wonder why?

Twinkle twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are! Up above the world so high,
Uh... nirvana? Buddhism has something about rebirth.
You're right about what "true" teachings are; it's hard to determine! Islam, for example, is dictated by the Qur'an. However, the Qur'an can't decide people's actions, opinions, and values for them, and it can be modified by the fatwa (government) in accordance with their laws and such. The original changes overtime, and respect for each other could turn into abuse and discrimination because they've deviated so far from what the very first, orginial scriptures dictate.
You can look that up on the Internet or reference books in the library if you're interested. I can't know more than they do. wink
Like a diamond in the sky, Twinkle twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are!
