Answer 2

Well done "borg". An excellent series of questions for this forum.

As a Scientologist I would like to add this which applies to ALL
religions:

"A society is capable of surviving for thousands of years unless it is attacked from within or without by hostile forces. where such an attack occurs, the primary targets are it's religious and national gods and heroes,it's potential of leadership and the self respect and integrity of it's members.
If you look around you , you will find countless examples of these points. They scream at us every day from the newspapers and TV.
Probably the most critical point of attack on a culture is it's religious experience. Where one can destroy or undermine religious institutions then the entire fabiric of the society can be quickly subverted or brought to ruin.
For the last hundred years or so religion has been beset with relentless attack. You have been told it’s the “opiate of the masses “, that it’s unscientific, that it is primitive, in short , that it is a delusion.
The source of this kind of attack is always covert and hidden. It is promoted by a few who have a vested interest in a slave society.
Unfortunately these few rely on creating fear and insecurity in others
to forward and promote their enemy propaganda. These others feel correctly they have to defend themselves from an attack, but because the real enemy is hidden, they can be manipulated to attack what they really should be defending as they cannot see the real enemy.

The key here is that underneath all these attacks on organised religion there is one fundemental target:
The spirituality of man, your own basic spiritual nature, self respect and peace of mind. "

Answer 3

- The teachings are not dogmatic; all things are weighed in a relativistic fashion to determine what causes suffering for the particular time period and location.
- The teachings are not ends; people are urged to seek the experience of truth directly.
- No proseltyzing
- No worship of a deity
- Deep morality brought on by understanding others and seeking to relieve suffering; this is as opposed to the 'whats in it for me' morality of a big punishing/rewarding daddy in the sky
- path is about reducing the ego/self and not the 'whats in it for me' stuff about getting some eternal reward

Answer 4

Buddhist keep their religion to themselves unlike Christians and Muslims. They don't force others to convert to Buddhism. They don't believe in a personal judgmental Jehovah or Allah.
