Icemoon SG

u mean u dunno laoda is a christian?

Ito_^ SG

ya, but buddha (and often buddhist monks) is often mentioned as someone who can give riches or as a deity. surely there is already a link established between these two forums.

to me even if soa is not a buddhist forum, the relationship is there.

ok la, i admit it. i was asking how come they never mortal kombat each other.

laurence82 SG

Since when a Buddhist monk or Buddha is someone who give riches or is worshipped as a deity?

You are talking abt Buddhism or Chinese mythology?

And fengshui is not concerned solely with wealth

By your logic, CHC can a be a Buddhist dharma centre liao.

Laughing

Ito_^ SG

no, dats folk belief which soa is mostly about, that bwb demotes. the worship of those "worldly spirits", cow head with buddha body for example, etc.

if they start saying buddha and karma every sentence. Laughing but that still wouldn't be a dharma centre, juz some crazed buddhist-cult-wannabe maybe.

laurence82 SG

for first paragraph....huh? can explain again?

as to the link between CHC and dharma centres, if SOA and Buddhism can be linked the concept of wealth, i am sure CHC with its wealth and prosperity gospels can be qualified as a branch of Buddhism too

Laughing

Ito_^ SG

CHC is not related. dun try to confuse me for fun.

i meant soa is about worldly belief, the stuff bwb don't like.. how come the debates always with EH, etc.

forget it, i don't think ill get my point across, im bad with this.

laurence82 SG

Of course they are not related...thats the point i am trying to get across

Laughing

Debate meh? You sure its not interactions?

Ito_^ SG

wadever.

both of em talks about buddha, buddhists, karma, etc. how can say totally not related? Rolling Eyes

laurence82 SG

conceptually different

When you do works in Christianity, the reasoning is that you do for God. In Buddhism, its to gain merits and part of the path to salvation.

Same terms, or rather, same actions, but reasoning for them and the situation applied is different.

To say is related might be erroneous if we dont look at them conceptually.

Merry Meet Ito_^,

Well i am sure many understand what you mean with so much different posts seemingly to be of Buddhist externally however internally or essence can be so different. Its best to view with discretion. BWB is definitely a True Mahayana Buddhist Forum in my personal perspective.

Blessed Be,

hi,
what you say is true, for us who view both SOA and BWB externally, they do look seemingly similar to us that are without the understanding of how things are being taught/run in them.

have a nice day. Smile

These are questions ? Or carnal desires of men to fulfil their own "wants".

klydeer SG

Can you explain a bit more on the above quote ? Where did u hear it from or how did u come to that conclusion ?

Thank you.

invigorated SG

Hi ito, perhaps you should find out more abt buddhism before you comment on it. When I was young and ignorant, I had thought that Buddha was a God/deity too, due to shows like 'journey to the west' and the likes. Even some taoists I spoke to thought Buddha is a God in Buddhism, like as in Taoism, but the fact is, Buddha is NOT a God in the Buddhism context.

Commenting on a religion we are not very sure of or only aware at the superficial level is unfair isn't it?

M©+square SG

He meant, in Christianity and christian-life.
Whatever you do, the default motive, will be for God's glory. To honor God.

The life of a Christian is to love God and do('christianlifestyle) that pleases God.

He meant, living a God-centric life or some where along that line.

klydeer SG

ok. Thank you. Wink

Cool

Hi all... those wondering the relation between the BWB and SOA forum, there is not much link between. SOA deals more with things like feng shui, thai amulets (and that is why there is some apparent buddhist link), although thai amulets is more strictly a tradition of Brahmanism. but it is also accepted by many thai buddhists.

BWB is about Buddhism, the teachings of Buddha, and not other cultural practises.
