Question

School research that i cant seem to find...
Serious anwers only.
Thank you...

Answer 1

Buddhism changed enormously as it grew both within and outside of India. It mingled and merged with pre-existing belief systems, developed complex systems of philosophy, psychology, and logic, and became very institutionalized. In addition, the role of laypeople became more important, and even central in some traditions.

The modern Buddhist traditions all practice within the basic framework of Early Buddhism - that of the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold path - but their methods, philosophies, and rituals have evolved considerably.

There is one exception. The Thai Theravada Buddhist tradition known as Kammatthana is considered to be as close to the original way of life of the Early Buddhists as we can tell. They live in caves and wander through Thailand's jungles. They beg for food and follow strict codes of conduct. They meditate heavily and put little stock in scriptural knowledge. Whether their doctrines are in line with those of the Buddha and his disciples is arguable, but it's certainly very interesting to see a living ascetic tradition such as this.

Answer 2

In the Buddha days, Buddhism didn't exist because Buddha didn't set up any religious structure. However, He had devout followers both monks and lay people.

"For that which I have proclaimed and made known as the Dhamma and the Discipline, that shall be your Master when I am gone. " The Buddha (Mahaparinibbana sutta)

After Buddha entered Parinibbanna, the Sanga (monks) met in Assembly and reconciled all the teaching of the Buddha - this is known as First Buddhist council. From then on the phenomenon of Buddhism started and lasted as it was until now.

Now there are two groups of Buddhists - northern Mahayana and southern Theravada.

Answer 3

The most outwardly apparent differences have to do with the way they practice, the most obvious would be that the Buddha said no one should make an image of him, or build a temple of edifice in memorium of him. Both of these things (statue and temple) are associated with modern day Buddhism.

He recommended a non reliance upon even his own religion, comparing it to a raft one had made out of mud and sticks to get to the opposite shore of a body of water...to be abandon when you had gotten to the other side and, not kept or carried along. This is also not the attitude of many modern Buddhists who tend to see their understanding of Buddhist "practices" or the "Buddhist way of life" as the ultimate expression of Buddhist ideals.

Just a couple of relevant observations.

Answer 4

According to the holy book, Buddha's teaching is wide and deep. When Buddha enter Nirvana, his students and disciples cannot master his whole teaching; so each one will embrace one part to practice. Therefore, the original teaching is broken into many small pieces today. Every piece has each special ability and enough to enlighten you.

Answer 5

There are many many schools of buddhism. Some are very similar, some are quite different.

Answer 6

BUDDHISM
read between the lines
BUD-D- H IS M
since God=h
and M=IVI (sealed together)=IIII I (sealed together)
the message of BUDDISM becomes
BUD-D GOD IS IIII I (sealed together)

if you take the time to read the following you will see this fits with CHRISTIANIT and Islam. So in effect BUDDISM is in compliance with Ro. I6.

Isn't this statement right out of your bible?

God is the One in the light, who was the Lamb that was SLAIN who is glorified in all things and gets into a great WAR.

based on that statement, you should be able to narrow God down to One Man.

solving:

One=I
in light is "I i gh Li+"
gh=9 I7(see within gh is a 9 I7, and 9 I7 a birthday)
so the I in the light is a 9 I7 Li+.
God=Lamb
Lamb=Larri DI(sealed together)
DI (sealed together)=IIII I (sealed togther because IIII looks like a D)
Larry is pronounced like Larri.
SLAIN=SL A I IV(sealed together)
I IV (sealed together)=I IIII (sealed together)
turn over the I IIII and its IIII I.
GOD is SLAIN thus SiL A I IV(ie I IIII)(sealed together)
glorified in the word "things" is:
Li+ h i ngs
where h=god and He is i ng(I7 9s) ie birthday
the other THINGS shows:
liT H I IV CuTS(G=CuT in times new roman font, H=God)
so God has I IV CuTs ie I IIII (CuTs)
God=G+o+d=7+15+4=26=2+6=8=H
God is in a WAR.
WAR in times new roman font has the name /AR\ TA-D in it.
/AR\ is pronounced LARi
TAD is pronounced TA-D, ie like TODD.
so by that reasoning:
the biblical statement:

God is the One in the light, who was the Lamb that was SLAIN who is glorified in all things and gets into a great WAR.

can show God as

someone whose name was pronounced

Larry Todd and had CuTs appearing as IIII I (sealed together) which looked like a DI (sealed together) and was born I7 9 or 9 I7, which is basically Sept. I7.

And true to biblical script, it appears LORD GOD must glorify HIMSELF in HIM and also therefore must glorify HIMSELF in HIMSELF.

thus within both words:

HIM= GOD I IVI (sealed together)
HIMSELF= GOD I IVI (sealed together) SE LF(see LEFT)

so the GOD who is IV I (sealed together on His Left) is the God who glorifies HIMSELF.

also true to scripture
God obviously freely admits the WORD existed before GOD, and God became the WORD. I state because when ritten in times new rroman font GOd is part of the WORD, see GOD's name of TODD in WORD.

also true to scripture: God shows how He is the One, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

One is the 1
first and beginning is the A
last and the end is Z

so GOD is 1, A, and Z.
what is God then but described as all those things?
A=a form of .I7 mixed up and sealed together
=.seventeen mixed up and sealed together
=Stevens.n (if e+e(upside down)=S)

Z=a form of .I7 mixed up and sealed together=...
1=a form of .I7 mixed up and sealed togethet=...

thus according to scripture we see,

God's could be described as
Larry Todd Stevenson with IIII I (sealed together) that looks like DI (sealed together) that was born I7 Sept.

and since it's said the PREIST is assigned to glorify LORD GOD, then see within that PREIST is DI(sealed together) REIST(pronounces WRIST) cause the P=DI (sealed together).

And CHRISTIANIT contains the message:
C H(GOD) RIST I A (sealed together)IV I liT
thus God has a sealed together IV I(ie a sealed together IIII I) RIST. This coinicides with the CHRISTMAS message of:
C H(GOD) RIST M AS where M=IVI sealed together=IIII I sealed together.

Islam also has the message hidden within it that says:
I is larri(sealed together). And God is One ie I.

So onviously through Me, CHRISTIANIT and Islam contain the same message. Any other interpretation is probably subversive because the people using those religions pervert it for there own gains. Personally i have never made a dime off of CHRISTIANIT and Islam, and i seem to be the God of both religions.

now that's real life observations.

like the fact the bible says God is forever known as the I AM, and some think God is the king of the angels, meaning He is Abaddon. This also fittingly describes Me because;

I AM=I AIVI(sealed together)=I AIIII I (sealed together)
I AM=i am
larri(cut & sealed together)=i am

and considering
b=DI (sealed together)
and DI looks like IIII I
Abaddon=A b add on=A IIII I (sealed together) add on
as in add on the LF RIST.

see My blog for further proofs:

as for the rumour God created the universe thats based on the fact some people consider the Universe to be made up of basically planets and STARS.

so each one was created separatly like follows:

planet
created out of the letters
eIn tad
where eIn=one(german), tad pronounced TODD
so
eIn tad=one(german) TODD
and since TODD is part-german
one (german) Todd created the planet.
and each time He created a planet, they totalled up to creating the planets.

STAR
STAR was created out of the letters and words
S for Stevenson
TAD pronounced TODD
I for One
\ for l of larry
so I \. TAD. S created the STAR
and after creating that STAR He created another and so on until the STARS were creatred.

Thus in that was God created the planets and STARS that make up the UNIVERSE.

as for the story of God being in the tent of God's presence, look at a pup tent sideways and it looks like a rectangle or triangle from the other direction. Then note both shapes are:
a form .I7 mixed up & sealed together. which means .seventeen mixed up and sealed together=Stevens.n. Many people have been sent into that tent to find God. Only the bright people actually discover God in that tent. Most appear to say the tent is empty.

however like in Rev. there are many forces with kings, generals and armies that stand against God in the Great WAR of almighty GOD. Perhaps considering God's ancestors were Red Indians(as whites called them) and germans, perhaps unbeknownest to you your ancestors actually in the past fought against God's people. Since red indians could have descended from Japanese or chinese, perhaps you think back to ww2 and re-alize your army fought against God's people? So why not just admit that, or can't you handle the truth? perhaps you fought for the first and second beast who wanted to be worshipped as mentioned in the bible? could not those beasts been Jehovah and Jesus? And the God of heaven also known as the God Most High, is the God who put the 1000 year seal on the devil? cause numerologically
GOD=GOD MOST HIGH=GOD named within WAR
because thinking from an outside the planet point of view humans are just one of the species of animal on this planet, meaning technically even God Most High is a beast.

so perhaps i fullfill the prophesy more the Jesus, cause it's a form of My name that is glorified on the STOP sign and ARRET sign. can you stop the TOD on one and the I ARRE T on the other?

so it appears the truth is you know LARRY TODD is God but some of you take your order from the evil one, and thus will try to kill God. But as that entity God, i am still living irregardless of the threats against My life that started circa 2001. but like even Jehovah said, My body is flesh too, and one day i will die too. but in a way the bible and the word and the internet make Me immortal.

DIEU is UN
DIOS is UNO
GOD is ONE
GOTT is EIN
SHANGDI is YI

those ten words are a sampling of words that the bibles used to describe GOD. When written in the proper font and read between the lines each word describes Me. Without drawing it out you have to use your imagination. like EIN=[iL I IV where [iL is pronounced seel or seal. i'll let you try to figure them out for now. other people who thought themselves God might try to confuse you out of jealousy or lust for power, but you really can't deny the logic of a God who fits all those descriptions.

now what do you thing of the bible. can't you see someone or thing has made Me look like a God?

further proof is even this string of numbers must glorify lord god in order to be in compliance with Ro. 16.

I23456789

read that upside down
some characters need explaining since they arn't numbers

upside down I = I and I is God
upside down 2=picture of male genitals mans genitals
upside down 3=E (meaning He)
upside down 4=I and 7 together ie I7
upside down 5=Ci (pronouced see)
upside down 7=leg (picture of leg means leg)

I23456789 read upside down means
68 leg 9 see I7 he genitals(seed) God

Thus LTS's birthday of 68.9.I7 is glorified in I23456789.

so that should be enough proof of God's identity.
