You settled on the faith of "Dharma"? What're your beliefs, then? (I know, I'm nosy ) Or are you still seeking within the Dharma-faiths?

I saw that. I am glad I am not the only one that doesn't feel the need to be mummified to make it work.

Pssst...I made a New Kemetic Thread and you are invited.

hi i am glad to see you here. you don't need to leave. i feel tired sometimes too but it goes away eventually.

Don't stay away too long, you hear?

Only a little while Kerr

To bad you leave. Know we have not talked, but for some random reason I wanted to say that, lol.

Probably that Buddhism is a simpler, less complex system of attaining liberation from samsara Madhuri. For example, in theistic Buddhism one can escape samsara without attaining enlightenment. They can attain it through either the merrit of a Bodhisattva, by becoming a Bodhisattva themselves, or by doing enough good deeds in life that the gods are pleased with them.

what do you think are the main differences between theistic Buddhism and theistic HInduism?

I think the New Testament God would. In the Old Testament there is a story of 2 men who tried to steady the Ark of the Covenant so it would not fall but because they touched it, even with good intetions,God consumed them with lightening.(Yosef.
