nirvana is a state of mind.....Its not heven...we believe its better than heven.....its ultimate bliss of mind

The next life is desided by the energy(Karma)....created by our mind..nobody juges it.......if we have good karma...good worlds bad karma...we go to bad worlds...its like water flowing down....its the way of the universe

Answer 2

I am a Roman Catholic.

1. My religion is the largest religion in the world because divine providence has made it such.

2. It is the source of truth about God and how we are to live our lives instead of relying on human philosophy.

3. There is divine authority that has been passed down for centuries from Abraham to the current pope.

4. My religion has produced 5 proofs of God's existence that is scientifically based in which cause and effect is one of them.

5. My religion believes we are created in the image of God which no other creature has the honor of having such a distinction. There is an actual formula showing how we are made in the image of the Holy Trinity.

6. Creation and creatures reveal the Creator of the universe.

7. The creative process requires physical, mental, and/or spiritual parts. Animals are not equivelant creatures to man who is made in God's image.

8. The Creator of the universe has no beginning, no end, and made everything out of nothing.

9. Man being physical, mental, and spiritual is flawed and needs the grace of God to ascend to our spiritual awareness.

10. Man was endowed by his creator with certain inalienable rights.

11. Man needs God for eternal life.

I am a Baha'i. And following is the reason why I believe in the Baha'i Faith:

The Bahá'í Faith is an independent world religion. With more than five million adherents residing in over 124,000 localities, the Bahá'í Faith is established in 204 countries across the planet. The spiritual principles of the Bahá'í Faith affirm its overall purpose--to bring about the oneness of humanity. In cooperation with these same principles, Bahá'ís also believe that there is only one Creator and that the spiritual truth of all religions is the same. From a Bahá'í perspective, The Bahá'í Faith is the most recent of the world's great religions. It forms the next link in a chain of important, divine teachings, a progressive revelation that places Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, as the Messenger of God for this age."

I worship the gods and goddesses of my anscestors, ancient Germanic dieties like Thor, Holde, Heimdal, Frejya, and Odin. I do respect the teachings of Buddah and use His teachings in my daily life. My adoration of the ancient gods is helpful and meaningful to me, but I know that I am able to be a better person by applying Buddhist thought to my life. I have met other pagans, like me, who are very much into using magick and become arrogent with their power. They either get the brittle ego that comes from puffing themselves up only to be deflated or some become like vampires who look down on others as people to be used for their own benefit. I try to be humble and keep myself inside of my physical body and this helps me to stay centered, realistic, and avoid conflict (sometimes). By knowing that all is temporary, I can better face the troubles in life without being filled with sorrow over the suffering that I face. The teachings of the Buddha has enriched my life.

Answer 5

I am a Hindu from India. And as a true Hindu I wouldn't say only my religion is right. Every religion has the same goals, only that the way they take is different. If u r open minded, u would find what I say is true.

Answer 6

i am catholic, born and raised, but that doesn't mean i believe it is 'right'-- i personally disagree with many of the teachings of catholocism, but i agree with some too. I believe that as long as you follow your heart and practice kindness and whatever your own spirituality is you are doing things the right way. As long as you are good to the earth and to all other beings you are spiritual in your own way, doesn't matter what religion you are as long as you are a good person. That is my personal belief.

Answer 8

Well.. i have always considered myself a Christian..but i know i am not one of the "flock" anymore.

I guess i am just floating around and wondering...whether humans will actually stop hurting each other. I guess i have woken up to the "real" world.

Answer 9

I think that your religion sounds very interesting and meaningful. Thats great that you believe that way. I dont think any one religion is "right". But, unfortunately, the world feels differently, Hence our constant state of war.

Answer 10

By my screen name, I am an Atheist. I am one, not by choice, but because my rational brain won't let me live in a fantasyland anymore because I'm an adult now. Spooky ghost stories and Aesop's Fables are only a distant memory.
