The next main question most of the people who follows various religions get is that do they have to give up on their religion to follow the Buddhism.
The answer is so clear! NO!!! It’s not …
Buddhism is more of a way of life than a religion; so, if you wish to follow this Path, there is no necessity to formally become a Buddhist in the sense of converting from one religion to another.One who understands the real path and believes it is a good way of life style then find interest on applying the teachings to get the best out of being a human, is a Buddhist, regardless of whether they convert or not.
Wearing something Buddhism or do something Buddhism is NOT what being a Buddhist is…
Chanting hundreds of Pali language words or promising to someone that I’ll be a Buddhist from today onward is not what being a Buddhist is…
Visiting Buddhist temples or carrying loads of Buddhist scriptures or having a huge Buddha Statue in the home is not what being a Buddhist is…
Being a Buddhist is simple than you think…being a Buddhist is beautiful than you believe… Being a Buddhist allows you to respect and understand all the other religions in to the deep with their true meanings. So being Buddhist will allows you to follow your religion more correctly & respectfully than you ever does in your past…
Being a Buddhist is SO PERSONAL and less troublesome for all beings.
You will find loads of opportunities to confirm this answer all over the web site. You just have to be wise & open mind while you are having the “Nirvana Dhamma” experience to feel the essence of pure Buddhism!
