There is no other way to have peace with God besides Jesus. Turn from buddha and turn to our Creator and Savior Jesus ❤️

If you are guided to be a more compassionate and loving person by the example of Jesus, that's great too. There are many languages that truth is spoken in. Beliefs do not have to be so narrow minded and based in fear. I hope you become a more open minded and tolerant person. God bless.

    Yes, Buddha simplified the complicated life: Birth is suffering, death is suffering. But in between there are always some happy moments. Life is not as simple as Buddha said, it is a mixture. Korelet in the Bible is wiser. It says: there is a time for laughing and there is a time for crying. That is what life is. That makes life bearable. You cannot live by always saying: life is suffering. In the time of Buddha there were monks who after repeating this, felt that it was better tobut an end to their life and cut their veins. And Buddha did not condemn it. So my dear monk, if you want to be consistent, kill yourself and end this life which is only suffering.

    Very educative. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you.
