So Buddhism Is Just A Philosophy ?
The word philosophy comes from two words “philo” which means “love ” and “Sophia” which means “ wisdom”. So philosophy is the love of wisdom or love and wisdom ,both meanings describing Buddhism perfectly.Buddhism teaches that we should try to develop our intellectual capacity to the fullest so that we can understand clearly. It also teaches us to develop love and kindness so that we can be like a true friend to all human beings .So Buddhism is a philosophy but not just a philosophy .It is the supreme philosophy.

The Buddha Is Dead So How Can He Help Us ?
Faraday , who discovered electricity ,is dead, but what he discovered still help us. Luis Pasteur what he discovered the cures for so many diseases is dead, but his medical discoveries still save lives. Leonardo da Vinci who created masterpieces of art is dead, but what he created can still uplift and give joy .Noble men and heroes may have ,been death for centuries but when we read of their deeds and achievements ,we can still be inspired to act as they did .
Yes, the Buddha is dead ,but 2500 years later his teachings still help people, his example still inspires people, his words still change lives ,only a Buddha could have such power centuries after his death .

I Have Heard People Say That Buddhists Worship Idols ?
Such statement only reflect the misunderstanding of persons who make them .The dictionary defines an idol as – “ an image or statue worshipped as a god : ” As we have seen Buddhists do not believe that the Buddha was a god , so how could they possibly believe that apiece of wood or metal is a god? All religious use symbols to express various concepts . In Taoism ,the ying –yang is used to symbolise the harmony between opposites . In Sikhism, the sword is used to symbolise , spirtual struggle .In Christainanity ,the fish is used to symbolise Christ’s presence and the cross is used to symbolise his sacrifice .
And in Buddhism ,the statue of the Buddha is used to symbolise human perfection. The statue of the Buddha also reminds us of the human dimension in Buddhist teaching ,the fact that Buddhism is man-centred not god-centred , that we must look within not without to find perfection and understanding.
So to say that Buddhist worship idols is not correct . Buddhists do not worship an image expecting worldly or spiritual favours , but pay their reverence to what it represents .

Is Buddhism Is So Good Why Are Some Buddhist Countries Poor ?
If by poor mean economically, then it is true that some Buddhist countries are poor .But, if by poor mean a poor quality of life ,then perhaps some countries are quite rich . America ,for example ,is an economically rich and powerful country but the crime rate is one of the highest in the world ,millions of old people are neglected by their children and die of loneliness in old people’s homes ,domestic violence and child abuse are major problems .One in three marriages ends in divorce , pornography is easily available .Rich in terms of money but perhaps poor in terms of the quality of life .
Now ,if you look at some traditional Buddhist countries you find a very different situation .Parents are honoured and respected by their children, the crime rates are relatively low , divorce and suicide are rare and traditional values like gentleness , generosity ,hospitality to strangers, tolerance and respect for others are still strong . Economically backward , but perhaps a higher quality of life than a country like America .

You Certainly Think Highly Of Buddhism .I Suppose You Think Your Religion Is Right And All The Others Are Wrong ?
No Buddhist who understands the Buddha’s teaching thinks that other religious are wrong .No one who, has made a genuine effort to examine other religions with an open mind could think like that either . The first thing you notice when you study the different religions is just how much they have in common. All religions acknowledge that man’s present state is unsatisfactory .All believe that a change of attitude and behaviours is needed if man’s situation is to improve . All teach an ethics that includes love , kindness ,patience, generosity and social responsibility and all accept the existence of some form of Absolute .

Is Buddhism Scientific ?
Before we answered that question it would be best to define the word “science”. Science ,according to the dictionary is –“ knowledge which can be made into a system, which depends upon seeing and testing facts and stating general natural laws ,a branch of such knowledge , anything that can be studied exactly .”
There are some aspects of Buddhism that would not fit into this definition but the central teachings of Buddhism, the Four Noble Truths ,most certainly would .
Suffering , The First Noble Truth , is an experience that can be defined ,experienced and measured .
The Second Noble Truth states that suffering has natural cause , craving which likewise can be defined , experienced and measured .
No attempt is made to explain suffering in terms of a metaphysical concept or myths .
Suffering is ended , according to the Third Noble truth , not by relying on a supreme being , by faith or by prayers but simply by removing its cause .
This is axiomatic .
The Fourth Noble Truth , the way to end suffering , once again, has nothing to do with metaphysics but depends on behaving in specific ways .
And once again behaviour is open to testing .Buddhism is open to testing .Buddhism dispenses with the concept of supreme being,as does science ,and explains the origins and workings of the universe in terms of natural law .All of this certainly exhibits a scientific spirit .
Once again ,the Buddha’s constant advice that we should not blindly believe but rather question , and examine , inquire and rely on our own experience ,has a definite scientific ring to it .He Says :
- Do not go by revelation or tradition ,
- Do not go by rumor ,or the sacred scriptures,
- Do not go by hearsay or merelogic,
- Do not go by bias towards a notion or by another person’s seeming ability and
- Do not go by the idea “He is our teacher ”
“But when yourself know that a thing is good ,that it is not blamable that it is praised by the wise and when practised and observed that it leads to happiness ,then follow that thing .”
( A.i 188)
So we could say that although Buddhism is not entirely scientific ,it certainly has a strong scientific overtone and is certainly more scientific than any other religion . It is scientific that Albert Einstein, the greatest Scientist of the twentieth century said of Buddhism ;
“ The religion of the future will be a cosmic religions .It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogmas and theology . Covering both the natural and the spiritual ,it should be based on a religious sense arising from experience of all things ,natural and spiritual and meaningful unity .
Buddhism answer this description . If here is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs,it would be Buddhism . “

So if Buddhists Don’t Believe In Gods .What Do You Believe In ?
We don’t believe in a god because we believe in man .We believe that each human being is precious and important, that all have the potential to develop into a Buddha a perfected human being.We believe that human being can outgrow ignorance and irrationality and see things as they really are. We believe that hatred, anger, spite and jealousy can be replaced by love ,patience , generosity and kindness .
We believe that all this within the grasph of each person if they make the effort ,guided and supported by fellow Buddhists and inspired by the example of the Buddha . As Buddha says ;
“No one can saves us but ourselves,
No one can and no one may .
we ourselves must walk the path,
But Buddha clearly show the way. "

Should Buddhists Try To Share The Dhamma With Others ?
Yes,they should .And I think most Buddhists understand the difference between sharing and imposing. If people ask you about Buddhism ,tell them .You can even tell them about the Buddha’s teachings without their asking . It is also important to remember that you let people know about the Dhamma for more effectively through your actions than through preaching to them .
Show people the Dhamma by always being considerate , kind ,tolerant , upright and honest .Let the Dhamma Shine forth through your speech and action .
If each of us, you and I , know the it Dhamma throughly ,practise it fully and share it generously with others ,we can be of great benefit to ourselves and others also .
May All Beings Be Happy !
