Buddhism has a very beautiful teaching that says the worst thing you can do to your soul is to tell someone their faith is wrong.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Buddhism notes that it is always a mistake to think your soul can go it alone.
I'm a Buddhist, so one of my biggest beliefs is, 'Everything changes, don't take it personally.'
I don't know what religious people do. I kind of wished I'd been a Christian with the blind faith that God is doing the right thing. As a Buddhist, you feel like you have more control over the situation, and that you can change your karma.
Mindfulness is so powerful that the fact that it comes out of Buddhism is irrelevant.
The first of the four noble truths of Buddhism, that there is suffering in life, was enormously important to me. No one had ever said it out loud. That had been my experience, of course, but no one had ever talked about it. I didn't know what to do with all the fear and emotions within, and here was the Buddha saying this truth right out loud.
Buddhism teaches you to embrace change.
There are many, many Christians who practice Buddhism, and they become better and better Christians all the time.
Sometimes the most difficult, horrific things can be the greatest spiritual teachers.
There are techniques of Buddhism, such as meditation, that anyone can adopt. And, of course, there are Christian monks and nuns who already use Buddhist methods in order to develop their devotion, compassion, and ability to forgive.
I admire the fact that the central core of Buddhist teaching involves mindfulness and loving kindness and compassion.
