God damn it......... I mean Buddha...... wait....... only christians get damned to hell....... anyway, I would have lined up to touch it. Oh well, I saw it, took pics, and made my offerings.

you shoulda! I stayed :) heh I cleaned up too heh

good karma pho you! :thumbsup:

It's an irony that Buddhism which preaches a simple life would bring in these extravagant statues to attract followers.

Organized religion is overrated in my opinion, it's nothing but politics taking advantage of our fear for death and our pain when losing our loved ones.

Do you know anything about Buddhism?

Simple life is one of the teachings of one of the more famous/revered Buddha's.

Anyway, not here to argue. Buddhism allows one to believe or have faith without condemming others. It's about reaching Nirvana. Not everybody will achieve it. You, sir, can believe in anything you want or not to believe at all. At least with Buddhism, nobody condemns one to hell for not having faith.




god bless

The condemnation is actually irrelevant, as only those believe in hell would feel condemned. If you don't believe in it, it's a non-issue. And most Christians are not out to condemn but rather, they try to help others reach heaven, something which they truly believe is real.

At the end of the day, Buddhism ultimately is another faith based belief. Instead of a hell or heaven, you have karma and reincarnation.

The mechanism is similar; in Christianity of course you have the burning hell, in Buddhism, if you do not follow the teaching, you suffer, you reincarnate into a lower cast, be it a dog or an ant. You never leave the endless cycle, you never find peace.

They are different yet also very similar. And they all like to work on the victims at their young age. Some call it religious studies, others call it child abuse.

Anyone got a photo of the jade pendant?! I wanna see what I missed out.

they had like a few different ones. i'll get a picture of mine. soon up

You don't have to follow the "teachings". Some use the "teachings" as a guide. Some find the truth their own way. Reincarnation is just one of the teachings from one of the many Buddha's. The lower cast thing is........ anyway, not here to educate, argue, or have the last word. Like Burger King, "Have it Your Way."

Nice, my grandma waited in line and got me a jade pendent too! Looks pretty sick
