[QUOTE]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: [QB] ^^^^ From what I have studied of Buddism you are right. Buddism sure beats Hinduism which is totally based on a Caste System and various gods. I honestly think that if Christianity had been styled similar to the Buddist Model it would have done alot more good. For what it is worth there was a form of Christianity that emphasized a "Personal" approach to God, rather than an organized religion. This of course was silenced by the "Church" along with other sects after the Council of Nicea and after the Bible was Cannonized and various books were banned. I only heard about this from a Documentary on T.V but Im sure it was a Gnostic form of Christianity. I think the Gnostics were similar to Bhuddists in their approach to Christianity. As far as I can tell the Gnostics believe that Jesus taught how to become a better person by using logic, reasoning, and enlightenment... Here is something from their site... [i]Note: God, in "true" Gnostic Christianity, is a metaphor for life-affirming principles. In 1Jn 4:6, for example, John said, "God is love."[/i] More... [i][b]Scientists demonstrate that meditation and prayer can activate areas of the brain in which feelings of bliss, well-being and oneness are processed.[/b] This suggests the brain is capable of processing both analytical and spiritual ideas. Could it be that nature intends our spiritual thinking to be as clear and concise as our analytical thinking? Perhaps we have not yet learned how to use those areas of the brain, dedicated to spiritual thinking, to their fullest potential. [/i] http://www.gnosticchristianity.com/ Gnostic Christianity is the closest thing to Bhuddism out of all the Abrahamic Faiths, It once held sway in the Early Christian Church. Even today mainstream Christians hate Gonstics and proclaim them to be a sect that worships the Devil...You know how it is anything that goes against the status quo is "of the Devil"...LOL [/QB][/QUOTE]
