H.H. DALAI LAMA • Is there only one true religion? • BEYOND BELIEF

[@emancamilleri4178]

Dalai Lama answer is very respectful to all religions, and there is more truth in his answer, than all the religions put together.

[@wildfeuer]

except to his own religion! a foolish power obsessed demon!

[@eugengolubic2186]

In what way is there more truth in his answer than in all religions put together?

[@eugengolubic2186]

@Str8DV8 no, it doesn't answer my question. I asked why is there more truth in his answer than in all religions put together. Even if some religion is forced on someone, it's a genetic fallacy to say it's false because of how people got to it. For example, a child can be forced to accept that 2+2=4. That's doesn't change the truthfullness of the claim. Again, because Buddhism doesn't have an official doctrine it makes me harder to believe in it. In the case of Christianity, I at least know where do I stand and is it falsifiable. Actually, if we are going to take this step, the religion that mostly feeds on the fear of its believers is most likely Islam. We have to defines what we mean by religion, but if we take the standard definition, Buddhism can sometimes be a religion, depends on a believer. That's at least what I figured out. Christianity also doesn't believe in some Santa Clause as we think of it. Christianity believes there is a maximally great being whose essence is existence and this being caused the universe into being and the universe is dependened on that necessary being called God. God created humans and gave them free will, but they rebelled. This God is also just and loving which means He must punish sin, but He doesn't want humans to pay for it. That's why He takes form of a human called Jesus of Nazareth, lives a perfect life as an ideal for His followers and dies on the cross to pay the debt with His blood. He rises from the dead to show He was in fact innocent and to make people know that His claims are true. The Church He founded preached the good news that people can now be reconciled with that same God they did wrong. That's in a nutshell what Christianity is all about. I don't know in which point of life you are and what's your backround, but if all this, Christianity as a worldview were true, would you become a Christian? Christianity is true if Jesus is God, died and rose again (Romans 10). If it were true, would you believe it? I'm waiting for your response.

[@eugengolubic2186]

@Str8DV8 I like answering these kinds of questions, but tell me, why would I when you said that if Christianity were true you wouldn't become a Christian? It would be casting pearls to swines on my part and on yours, in a way being guilty of the same thing that makes you dislike the God of the Bible.

I don't think that this analogy even works. In medicine you have pretty much the same cure for a specific disease. Sometimes pills or surgery, but if it doesn't change the fact if I say it doesn't work for me. If I say that some X treatment would help me because "it works for me" that's not the case. If Christ rose from the dead than that's true for everyone in spite of "not working for someone".

In my opinion he is saying something more clearer. All multi set religions are ok (for the mind) but when one is in love then only a one set is used. He used the example of eatery to signify choice. And choice is mostly the thinking not the feeling. The message was so clear but many people who commented here did not listen to it even though they heard it. They were only hearing their thoughts. In his way he so clearly accepted everything as well as accepted only one (set) as well as rejected many remaining (sets) all in one.

When the physical body needs food it takes in that food and even though there are various kinds of food you can eat it is all broken down to the same basic elements that give the body the energy necessary to survive. I think the spiritual part of humankind also craves sustenance and just like different kinds of food are broken down by the body to feed the physical, I think that the spiritual side has various needs that are all broken down into the basic elements and feed the spiritual side. It confounds me that a creator that has given so much variety to his creation would create only one spiritual food.

GENESIS 1:1 In the beginning אֱלֹהִ֑ים (Elohim plural; male and female) created the heaven and the 'ground'. 2 And the 'ground' was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the 'wind' of אֱלֹהִ֔ים (Elohim) moved upon the face of the waters. لا اله الا الله means: there is no 'OBJECT OF WORSHIP' other than Allah. 'Another meaning for “Ilah” ” إله” is to 'find refuge in'. So: There is no 'OBJECT OF REFUGE' other than Allah. Then if we take 'Ilah' as 'machine', 'tool', 'contrivance', we can also say; 'there is no 'CAUSALITY/CAUSATION' other than Allah. - 2:07 1:52 'Buddhism' doesn't talk about "the creator"?

[@ghastlytco554]

I understand what he's trying to say but the analogy of religion being like a medicine is only useful if all religions were made just to heal hurts, to fulfill certain desires (to feel wanted/loved/to have hope). The fact of the matter is, once you delve deeper; each religion deals with more than just "how do I make my life better" (some certainly focus on this life and not on the next life, if you believe there is a next life). Moving back to the point, if there is no afterlife/accountability/next step, then yes any religion would suffice because you would only need it for this lifetime. The question is, what happens if there is a next step? That's where religions begin to claim their possession of truth. If there is no standard/no judgment/no Supreme Being deciding between right/wrong then there is no point to adhering to a specific religion since their only purpose would be social structure and cohesiveness. Once again the question is, is there something next? Will there be a final criterion, which I will have to meet? If this alternative is true then there HAS to be a truth. Whether mankind knows it or not. How would the common person be able to distinguish between these? It would require some sort of insight into the world "outside" our own. Experiences, which could be attributed to the supernatural. This brings me to my own belief. I believe in Jesus, I believe He is the Son of God. I know this truth through my experiences with the supernatural and the satisfactory explanation of these experiences through the Christian doctrine. I believe Jesus to be necessary and sufficient for my life and that it is to HIM whom we will answer to.

His explanation works exclusively if "religion" is a group of guidelines that tell you how to live. Some "religions" are truly nothing more than that. But his explanation fails completely in regard to any faith that says its book is "the word of the one true God" and requires a person to follow said deity in a specific way. That deity is either real and true or a lie. People expecting a guide to their deity and the described afterlife (in these faiths, afterlife is eternal) are completely denied and living useless lives if said book/guide is false. He also assumes that the afterlife for all is the same and people merely follow different routes to it (in keeping with his personal world view).

[@49634900]

Thats right, but in Christianity it is more called wisdom and insight which is given throught the Holy Spirit. Enlightment in a buddhistic way is always starting by one self and ends also there. Thats a significant difference. There are many equalitys in Christianity and Buddhism, thats true. But in the base the are completely different. Wisdom and insight are a consequence of salvation. Without salvation every wisdom and insight are spiritually death.

I can't believe he said that. I thought he was smart and wise. All religions cannot be true at the same time for different people. If Christ rise from the dead, than that's a fact. If Muhammad split the moon in half and if he is the last prophet, then that's a fact. Christianity and Islam can't be true at the same time. U don't care if some Muslims or anyone else thinks differently, but the Christian God and the Islamic god are not the same being. So, if Christianity is true for me, it's true for everyone. Another point I would make is what makes Dalai Lama's answer true? Because it works for him? Something else? What if my religion teaches that Dalai Lama is wrong? Which is true: my belief or his claim? His worldview is inconsistent.

His is a very Buddhist answer. Unlike Christianism or Islam, in Buddhism you get multiple chances and there is no belief requirement to be good. So he is saying that whatever religion helps people is good because it puts them a step closer to enlightment.

They do not want to shock you. Why they do this is to unite us as one within existence. When we become united we then become Gods. The question is where is God perfection today? If there is a God perfection we should not exist! Why is it that we do exist? It does not make sense unless we live under a reality that is built to punish us. God Perfection does not need to create or improve itself-its satisfied with itself! so why do you exist under god imperfection! Understand this- the universe and you are the same-We both have the same structure and live equally in chaos! Which means the greatest minds in existence are striving to know the answer as well as we do by studying us humans and the rest of intelligent life across the universe by way of mutating their DNA with not only ours but all species across the universe and as well within inter dimensional beings.. aliens are in search of perfection as we do! We are finally in partnership with them(aliens). Why? contact me. Alien studied results-Regarding the "human race" Religion and the money system are not the answer- it keeps you in wars and in enslavement amongst yourselves globally forever unless you reject it all! Simple is the answer, contact me if you want to know more of the truth. If the truth is to hard for you remain stuck in your man made reality until you are ready to receive the truth about peace and freedom. Its an invitation to the truth-its for you to decide. I'm here for anyone who wants to know the truth! Disturbance of existence..your existence. Spread the truth-this message- if you do this you will live in freedom once and for all! Aliens want a betterment of you-they want you to be free. Like them! Simply to become a society of explorers without worrying about food and money or religion!
