Are Doctrines Optional? The Buddha taught that we do not have to accept any doctrines, including Buddhist doctrines, on faith. This spirit of free inquiry, as opposed to the take-it-or-leave-it dogmatism of most religions, attracts many westerners to Buddhism. However, many westerners calling themselves 'Buddhists' seem to think this means the doctrines are optional. The attitude is that since we don't have 'believe in' any doctrine just because the Buddha taught it, there is no point in even learning them. Proponents of this point of view often reduce Buddhism to mindfulness and meditation practice alone. But if the Pali Canon is even halfway correct, the historical Buddha did not go about for 45 years after his enlightenment just teaching people to meditate and be mindful. He also delivered lots and lots of sermons. He began by expounding the Four Noble Truths, and he presented the Eightfold Path as the fourth Truth, the means to liberation from suffering. The Theravadin scholar Walpola Rahula said of AboutBorn Again: Unmistaken Child offers a peak into Buddhism`s take on reincarnation. With striking images of Nepal's remote Tsum Valley and a compelling central character attempting to complete a task that he believes is beyond his abilities, Unmistaken Child , a documentary about a disciple's search for his reincarnated master, will appeal to even those skeptical Westerners who do not buy into Buddhism's beliefs about rebirth. Topix.netHalloween: A Catholic View Every year, a debate rages among Christians: Is Halloween a satanic holiday or merely a secular one? Should christian children dress up like ghosts and goblins? Is it good for children to be scared? Lost in the debate is the history of Halloween, which, far from being a pagan religious event, is actually a Christian celebration that's almost 1,300 years old. AboutBuddhist Holidays There are many schools of Buddhism, and they don't all observe holidays at the same time, or even the same holidays. This calendar of Buddhist holidays for 2009 is ordered by date instead of by holiday, so that you can follow along through the year. Note that if you miss Buddha's Birthday there probably will be another Buddha's Birthday in a few days. About |
