Making the world a better place

February 8, 2014

It seems to me that no matter what religion you subscribe to, acts of kindness are the stepping-stones to making the world a better place–because we become better people in it. ~Jodi Picoult

    Every one is free to follow his religion
    But the religion of humanity
    Is when you an your soul reacts to onez pain sorrow tears
    Wd the nature of helping him out
    Wt what ever one has
    This is the true religion
    True dharma
    True karma
    True worship
    True kindness
    This is peace bcs soul feels peace
    No other way of worship
    Can give peace only kindness wd deeds
    Gd morning sos

    When does a political system become a religion?

    Sooo true, Jen :-). We sometimes don't realize, that even the simplest forms of act of kindness, such as smiling to others, or willing to listen to someone else, or just showing that we care, can make a big difference. Peace! 🙂

    All religions teach us the main law – treat the others the way you want to be treated yourself.

    Absolutely True. Thanks Jendhamuni Sos for spreading the message of Love and Kindness. There cannot be better time for such messages of compassion than this week (7th-14th February), when people are celebrating Valentine Day.

    At least half of our sorrows will disappear if we follow the Middle Path shown by Buddha.

    All religions teach that we should practice LOVE. Therefore LOVE is Universal n we should
    follow it religiously.

    “‘Was Jesus a Muslim?" asks Prof. Robert F. Shedinger in the beginning of a book he published this year entitled Was Jesus a Muslim ? " I will answer with a very qualified yes."
    In a recent interview Shedinger also defended his controversial thesis explaining that a Muslim undergraduate student had sent him on academic odyssey that culminatedwith him asking himself "Was Jesus a Muslim?"
    "Even as a Christian I have to answer yes to that," said Shedinger, who is the head of the religion department at Luther College in Iowa.
    Shedinger also argued that Islam is a better fit for Jesus since it is not a religion but a “social justice movement.”
    "I had to rethink what Islam is… I came to the conclusion that it was a social justice movement and I think that’s who Jesus was in the first century so I conclude Jesus is more like a Muslim," he said.
    The vast majority of scholars, historians, Muslims, and Christians date the birth of Islam to 622 ADE when the Prophet Muhammad claimed to have received visions that were eventually compiled into the Koran. Jesus, on the other hand, is believed to have existed more than 600 years earlier, at around 0 BCE.
    A spokesman for Luther College, a small liberal arts school affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, told Campus Reform on Wednesday that the administration stands fully behind Shedinger’s scholarship.
    “The administration is very very comfortable with the proposal, with the book, and with what his statements about this situation are,” said Jerry Johnson, the school’s Director of Public Information. ”[T]he ground he is breaking with this book is not anything exactly earthshaking.”
    Johnson added that Shedinger’s thesis had not stirred up on any controversy or opposition on campus where “the members or our religion department are very respecting and have great respect for each other’s work.”
    Campus Reform was unable to contactProf. Shedinger in time for publication.

    Nice quote but it has sweet nothing to do with religion. Acts of kindness are a matter for human emotion, warmth, affection, empathy. Not a matter of doing them because some invisible friend tells you to do so.

Live & Die for Buddhism

My Reflection

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today. Although I came to America at a very young age, however, I never once forget who I am and where I came from. One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.

A Handful of Leaves

Tipitaka: The pali canon (Readings in Theravada Buddhism). A vast body of literature in English translation the texts add up to several thousand printed pages. Most -- but not all -- of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.

Problems we face today

Of the many problems we face today, some are natural calamities and must be accepted and faced with equanimity. Others, however, are of our own making, created by misunderstanding, and can be corrected...
