Re: Truth or Consequent
Hi PB,
​
Do you think it is possible that Jesus is not God and did not die for our sins?

Re: There is no doubt JC was
Hi,
​
I too believe that JC manifested God as did Budda and every other universal messenger of Gods message.
​
Are you saying that Buddha was a messenger of the God of the Bible?
​
Are you aware of any of the original Buddha's teachings, especially the ones about nothing being eternal and that gods are lesser beings that humans?
​
Brian.

Re: There is no doubt JC was
Hi,
​
I am sort of in a transitional phase in my beliefs.
​
Best of luck on your journey, may you find peace and happiness.

Brian.

Hi WT,
​
Yes some followers of Buddha see him as divine.
​
However, I have found at various semnars that many people do not know that there are numerous Buddha's in the universe and, in Mahayana Buddhism, we all have the potential to become a Buddha.
​
There is also the opportunity in Pure Land Buddhism to worship a Buddha, such as Amitabha, and when you die you got to his Buddha field where you learn how to gain Nirvana.
​
I believe that the most common misunderstanding about the Buddha is that he was a small fat bald guy. Siddartha Gautama is a different Buddha from the wee fat bald one. He is called Matreiya and is a Buddha who will come in the future.
​
I actually find some aspects of Buddhism very interesting. I did a presentation on Nagarjuna's philosophy of Sunyata at Uni a couple of years ago and struggled for a few weeks to understand what the concept of sunyata is! LOL
​
Cheers.
​
Brian
