    The purpose of Buddhism is to seek enlightenment, but yet also share happiness and compassion with others. We buddhists want all living beings to be free from suffering and have a happy and free life. That in my opinion is the purpose off Buddhism.

    Being a Buddhist I have been taught by my parents, at schools by my teachers to always think about others before self and also to put myself in other's shoe before I do anything wrong to them, "what if that happens to me" also to pray for the enlightenment of all the sentient beings. That's why we include everybody when we pray.

    Buddhism is a religious which is an educational system. One keeps learning to improve the inner self to rid of greed(pulling in), anger (pushing away) and delusion(not knowing accepting the reality) and not to cling on to them tightly. The goal is to achieve an enlightenment. The practice is to accept the 5 precepts and follow the eight-fold paths. The explanation can be found in the Podhipakiyatham 37, the collection of 37 dhammas leading to the enlightenment.

    To whom it may concern,
    Buddhism is neither a monotheistic nor a polytheistic religion. It is a philosophy preached by Gautama Buddha from India and rather a life style based on that philosophy. The main focus of Buddhism is the development, strengthening and blossoming of mind. Buddha’s teachings advise us that MIND IS THE FORE RUNNER OF EVERYTHING AND ONLY ONE THING YOU CAN FULLY CONTOL IN THIS WORLD IS YOUR OWN MINDSET. Is not it the absolute truth? Is not that every action and word is first conceived as a thought? Moreover, can we even sustain the well being of our body in the exact way we desire for? NO. Hence Buddhism teaches us to enrich and bloom our mindset in such a way that YOU AQUIRE A HEALTHY, UNSHAKEN MINDSET AMIDST ALL THE TURBULENCES IN THE SURROUNDING WORLD…THE ULTIMATE HAPPINESS …This is achieved , first and foremost (1) good/positive thoughts and subsequently (2) good/positive words and actions. There are numerous steps and techniques taught in Buddhism to achieve this level. When you get in to this pathway, you begin to PERCEIVE THE REALITY AS IT IS…This is the essence of Buddhist philosophy. It is pure psychology …..Indeed something far more than that… It has NOT DICTATED ANY UNIFORM, DRESS CORD OR PRAY RITUAL. It is simply an insightful life style. Furthermore, Buddha has clearly preached that protection of environment (animals and trees) is essential…. We have no right to kill others and destroy our environment… Is not it true modern science? On the contrary, Buddha has thoroughly prohibited forceful conversion and deceitful manipulation from other religions to Buddhism and condemned the vice versa process too. In His own words “MY RELIGION IS FOR THE INTELLECTUALS ONLY ; NOT FOR FOOLS. YOU COME, CRITICALLY DISCUSS AND ANALYSE BUDDHISM, IF IT IS PALATABLE, STAY WITH THE PATH WAY FOR FREEDOM AND HAPPINESS. OTHERWISE YOU MAY LEAVE US- Buddha”. This deep philosophical nature may be the main reason for Buddhism to become mysterious a religion for many people in the world. … This deep analysis is time consuming …. It is NOT about rites and simple customs.

    Buddhism is a religion that teaches people to live a compassionate life with no causing harm to sentient beings..
    Many people are so confused and thought Buddhism is just a philosophy and not a religion That is not true. Buddhism has a spiritual dimension, because Guatama Buddha is a high spiritual heavenly being.
    Guatama Buddha before he was reborn as a human, he was a Bodhisattva in Nirvana. Looking down on earth, he saw the earthly sufferings. So he voluntarily reborn to earth to save sentient beings.
    He promised that if people will follow his teachings earnestly, we will be able to end rebirth in this suffering world, and we will be able to achieve enlightenment and go to Nirvana, the highest heavenly realm. We do not need to depend on Gods, because the Godly realms are still in the rebirth cycle.
    I am a chinese Buddhist that came from Taoism, , an ancient China religion, that are able to communicate with the Godly realms, through human mediums. These Godly beings have great powers to cure illness or to rid evil spirits from people.
    What I have just said are answers from these Godly beings. Even Godly beings are striving to be come Buddhas.
    Guatama Buddha is known as teacher of the world. He is just one of the Buddhas. In Nirvana there are millions of Buddhas, their powers are limitless.
    I am a Singaporean Chinese Buddhist, and I pray to Buddha Averlokitesvara and Gutama Buddha. Through my course as a Buddhist, I have had several spiritual encounters with Buddhas.
    Also there are people saying thst Buddhist worship idols. The statues of Buddhas must be given a " ceremonial Buddha Spirit entry initiation" before we pray. So those statues of Buddhas in temples are not empty. They are all with Buddha Spirits.
    Hope I am able to help to dissolve all the misunderstandings on Buddhism.
