| I could read the 7 pages of typing written about Buddhism, but I refuse to. I'm sure there are some incredibly insightful thoughts and the like, but I, being a Taoist, find it incredibly irritating that you would even chose to state the Buddhist religion as one which is ridiculous because of a lack of comprehension on the subject.
Claiming a religion with such stature as Buddhism to be stupid is like stating that Christianity or Islam is farcical, only chosing Buddhism here is a good idea because I highly doubt on this forum there are more Buddhist/Taoist than myself and a select few.
Buddhism is about cleansing your mind and taking to your mind back to a state of somber peace, letting go of the chaos of living in this world and letting life flow---there's the concept that you CAN'T change that which is inevitable to happen no matter what, so you might as well deal with it instead of living a life of stress and chaos.
Buddhism is returning yourself to a state of natural peace... letting the wind and sky overtake you and move you miles.
IT'S A RELIGION AND LEAVE IT ALONE. It's something people need so that they have something to fall back on and something to believe in. It's like every other faith in the world, and it's something incredibly personal and private.
Where do you stand to tell me that my beliefs are stupid?
