Derived from Hinduism, Buddhism is based on two things, enlightenment and reincarnation. To Buddhists the point of life is to achieve bodhi or enlightenment and stop the process of reincarnation. Life is about suffering, and suffering comes from ignorance. To relieve ignorance and gain knowledge you must meditate, this is how you can become Buddha or “teacher”. Buddhists also have no definitive god, everyone is reincarnated until they reach Samsara, where there ever repeating existence ends. Another Buddhist belief is that reality, inanimate things and people do not exist. This is an extremely challenging thing to comprehend but once realized, makes you buddha. At this point you have two choices, end your life, or use your knowlege to help others. Choosing to help others is the most honorable choice a buddah can make.

that’s kind of weird that Buddhism wants to stop reincarnation. i would personally want to come back after i die. i didn’t realize that life is all about suffering. is that it?
I think it is cool that we r reancarnated into i higher being or a lower being if we do something wrong to hurt our carma. So i think if it has always been that way for you so far i think you should keep going on what your doing. In the end you will get what you deserve, which is to ether die and be reincarnated or to finaly actualy die.
I think that the way Buddhist live their life is really cool. . . It seems really realistic, like, why spend your whole life trying to have the best when you can survive from the middle of best and worst. Very good response.
my personal opinion is that its a sad deal really.
these false teachings are easier to believe than most true things.
I think that the way the Buddhists live is very well. They live their live with no cares and try to reach enlightenment. This i think is good if that is what they believe in.
this is very strange that the buddhist’s say to end your life or use your knowledge to better yourself because i could never imagine a person doing such a thing.
buddists can believe in what ever they want. they dont tell you what to believe in. so why should u diss their beliefs. buddists are cool. AND IF YOU DONT HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY, DONT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL MY FREIND.
Why is it that helping others is the worst thing that you can possible do? Wow I thought that if you helped some one out it was a good thing, i guess that’s just what Buddists believe in.
