Recently I've been studying Buddhism and I've been an atheist for a while. What do you think of this?

Question

Buddatheists- Atheists individuals with Buddhists morals.

Sects are: Zen Buddatheism
LoMain Buddatheism (low maintenance)

My friends and i made that one up ourselves lol...and are in the process of writing Buddathiest holy scriptures....just for comic affect.

For those of you out there with a sense of humor.

Btw, you say it Bood-atheist....
Like if you were saying the word 'food' but it a B...and then atheist.

quite simple really XD

I am aware that Buddhists are atheist by nature. We just thought that being atheist with no Buddhist knowledge or moral/ values is different than Buddhatheism, where you follow the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama and don't sincretice the moral code. I say moral code because it's not a religion.

XD...It's actually pretty fun to practice lolz

Answer 1

Lol. I think i fall under the category of Buddatheist.

LoMain.. lol. That reminds me of lo mein... mmm, so hungry for noodles...

As for what i think of this, i find it perfectly normal. I've also recently begun learning about Buddhism. =)

Answer 2

From a comedic perspective, it's not half bad.

From a Buddhist perspective, it's not half bad.

I like he 'LoMain'! Very nice.

Now, if you will indulge me a moment, you do know that Buddhism, (At least most schools of Buddhism, especial Chan (Zen & Seon) Buddhism ARE atheistic in nature, right? Buddha said there were no all powerful, supreme, omnipotent judgmental gods. In fact, the belief in such beings is considered to be one of the "wrong views" in Buddhism.

So although I applauded you're creativity and find it refreshing and humorous, I hope you understand the truth behind the joke. Take it from me, a long time Atheist and full fledged Buddhist.

I hope this helps.

Answer 3

Aristotle and the Dalai Lama do not say that the purpose of life is to believe in God. Do you know what that is? All babies and kids know this. It is to be happy. If you believe in God and are depressed, then you want to die. See site below for more on the purpose of your human life with info from top psychologists and a Buddhist psychotherapist.

Answer 4

The fundamental concept of Buddhism is to transcend all concepts. I guess you could say Buddhism is the concept of anti-concept. It's more of a philosophy than a religion but the practices are there such a "zazen" sitting in meditation for mindful focus and acting in the moment help us understand the Buddhist philosophy. Unlike other religions and philosophies that use abstract ideas to think about and believe, Buddhism is about experiencing and doing. Instead of believing that all is determined by external forces beyond our control, Buddism claims that we are responsible and our mindset determines our conditions. In other words heaven and hell are mindsets... just depends on how we percieve our life and what we do about it.

Answer 5

One became a blatant insult, however the questioner frankly deserved it. the different 2 have been in basic terms ameliorations of opinion. flow parent. it is likewise the reason I went back and made my community inner maximum. i do no longer want record trolls dealing with my 3000+ solutions finding for some thing they do unlike. and that they are asserting atheists might desire to get a existence! additionally, my wager may be your French question became mentioned by utilising somebody who nevertheless says "Freedom Fries" and thinks GW Bush is the terrific president when you consider that Hoover. (Now watch this get mentioned)

Answer 6

Okay. Have fun. There's a lot of Buddhist philosophy I agree with too.

Answer 7

for the making up our self...........just for comic effect,it is not a matter of a sense of humor.as long as you have not reach that level of wisdom,we are acting and saying with a deluded mind,what you are doing will mislead yourself and others who have no contact with the actual teachings,that will be a dis-service to the ones who comes in across your so call sense of humor,the monk form China who translated the Great Life Infinite Sutra,told his disciples that,if there is mistake with his translation,when he leaves this world,after cremating him nothing will be left and if there is not mistake his tongue will not be burned and true enough,when he died,after the cremation all is gone,except the tongue,my advice is not to distort anything of the Buddha's teaching,till this day no one have the wisdom to author any Sutra.good luck.

Answer 8

No need to create new sects. Zen Buddhists don't worship anybody.
