A Buddhist Nation instead of a Christian Nation

[Enigma271828]

What if America was predominantly Buddhist instead of Christian?

[vidcc]

Less people would go to Christian Churches :idunno:

[zapjb]

The US would be poor.

No war machine.

[blEnder]

It would be extremely hard to fathom. The US, in general, is very materialistic, something that doesn't really 'sit well' within the Buddhist doctrine.

There would be no war machine of course, Buddhism being a pacifist religion. Probably more harmony in personal ordeals, but the US would have little world power, as most of it was gained because of military strength and money.

Who made the gas attack on the Tokyo subway. I believe that was a Buddhist terrorist group. No person can live by the bible of their religion. Human nature will let them down if they try.:(

It is a form of socialist lunacy ......I think


What if America was truly Christian (turn the other cheek, if a man asks for your coat give him your shirt also, judge not lest you be judged)?.

No specific country is an expression of the higher philosophical values aspired to by individual adherents of religion (whatever flavour) and that most certainly includes politicians and religious leaders.

It is said Bhutan might come close but even then it is not without some problems.

Unlike Christianity and Judaism, Buddhism is not frantically concerned with being good, it is concerned with being wise. It is also concerned with being compassionate, but that is a little different from being good. Having compassion is having tremendous sympathy, understanding and respect for all the ignorant people who don't know that they are each the godhead, but instead are playing the very deluded game of being you and I.

Americans present their society as being one of free initiative, individualism and idealism, when in reality these are mostly words. They are instead a centralized managerial industrial society, of an essentially bureaucratic nature, and motivated by a materialism which is only slightly mitigated by truly spiritual or religious concerns. They are the masters of doublethink.

If Americans were Buddhist, they would cease to practice doublethink and the world would be a better place. Atheists would also be recognized as citizens by George H.W. Bush:
"No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered as patriots. This is one nation under God."

You appear to have ignored my point regarding the religion they already claim to espouse. If Buddhist why would they pay it any more attention than the one they already have?

One could just as easily say if everyone was kind and good would there be less violence in society.

Nice try, but it is virtually impossible to act like Jesus as a Christian because the Christian theology specifically states that no one can be like him! How can you act enlightened, when you cannot be enlightened. In a Buddhist perspective, trying to achieve this impossible task is the main problem of Christianity (actually pedestalizing Jesus is the root of the problem.. I'll explain in the next paragraph). To combat this realization, early Catholics cleverly institutionalized "guilt" as a virtue. They say you will sin, but if you feel guilt and confess everything is alright!

About the early Christians pedstalizing Jesus as THE son of God, instead of just a son of god who anyone can be like...
From a Buddhist and Hindu perspective, Jesus was not too different than Buddha. Jesus was enlightened. He realized that he was part of the source, the godhead, brahman (whatever you want to call it - something indescribable) - at a very young age. Jesus was never introduced to eastern religions and spiritualities, so the only way he could describe his experience was to claim that he was a son of God! Of course he would have been immediately persecuted by the Jews if he had gone around telling everyone that, so he told everyone instead that he was instead the Messiah, from the book of Isaiah. And after he was crucified, his followers pedestalized him and worshiped him as a demigod without realizing that he was just a normal man who spontaneously became enlightened at an early age.

Likewise I consider myself quite impartial on this issue - I am not keen on any of these religions.

However, the basic principles of each are quite straight forward. As Jesus said "treat others as you would like them to treat you". I am quite sure that all the other religions have a similar ethos. However, world politics is based on self interest (usually unenlightened or short term self interest). Thailand is a Buddhist country and is not without problems and Burma is a mess. I don't think the US would be radically different from today if it were nominally a Buddhist country.

It is therefore tautology to say if all the people were nice they would be nice.

They would be nice regardless of religion or in many cases in spite of religion. I don't agree that people can't demonstrate the same compassion as demonstrated by someone like Jesus or Buddha simply because they are not in the right religious club. They can if they want to - but mostly they don't want to. They don't need much help to do it either - it is not a mystery.

If America was a Buddhist nation, I doubt anyone would feel compelled to ask the question you have asked.

What if, say, Russia was a Buddhist nation?

What if the mid-east was predominately Buddhist?

There are a brazillion ways to achieve your end, Enigma, but somehow you see only one.

One might as well ask why stupid people are allowed access to the internet.

You should read your bible more. Jesus never claimed to be the Son of God. The Jewish definition of a messiah was one who would free them from Roman rule.

If you are not a Christian you would not think of Jesus as the Son of God, obviously.

Jesus was not spontaneously enlightened,as you claim. This simply fits into your idea of epiphany. There was no enlightenment. If you were to actually read the bible you would see that Jesus was originally with and within the spirit.

Jesus also claimed many many times that the power he had was given to him by the Father. He never claimed to be God.

Here is a tip for you on your road to enlightenment. All of this discussion means nothing. You must Be. Empty as the Void.

Now go sit under a tree.

They were also originally written about 1984. (The book not the year).


We present our society as being one of free initiative, individualism and idealism, when in reality these are mostly words. We are a centralized managerial industrial society, of an essentially bureaucratic nature, and motivated by a materialism which is only slightly mitigated by truly spiritual or religious concerns. Related to this is another example of "doublethink," namely that few writers, discussing atomic strategy, stumble over the fact that killing, from a Christian standpoint, is as evil or more evil than being killed. The reader will find many other features of our present Western society in Orwell's description in 1984, provided he can overcome enough of his own "doublethink."

His other stuff's probably plagiarised as well, I can't be arsed reading it.

lol yes..

[Something Else]

Would all the domestic large animals that fed on smaller animals perish because the buddhist couldn't sacrifice one life to save another, all life being equally valuable and all that.... I always wondered how they dealt with that dilemma...??? ''Oh Buddha what should I do'' ...My point is I don't think the Americans would be able to cope with that sort of paradox and their country would implode...Just my opinion.....

[bigboab]

If the Americans were all Buddhists it would not be a dilemma to them.:)

It's clear that America has a lot to learn from Buddhist values, that there is much work to be done integrating these major worldviews moving forward.

And we can see such movement occuring, in the increasing emphasis on sustainability and environmental responsibility.

Of course, it's still a long, hard road ahead.

Yes, I wonder.

We've elbowed our way to the front of the pack with what we have, and I'll be damned if I can see an upside to incorporating other "major worldviews", such as "jihad".

In the interest of equality (and we must admit that overweening concern is at the base of such concerns, yes?) why don't we insist that the "worldview" espoused by the U.S. be adopted universally?

Now there's a formula for success. :whistling

[polarix]

Well, there's a slight difference between militant islam and buddhism. I think the 'jihad', or the 'crusade' j2k4 seems to be espousing (are you being facetious?), is about as far from a buddhist concept as can be.


Perhaps if true (mystical) Christian values caught on, it would have a similar effect as the introduction of Buddhist values. But what I'm saying would be very valuable to the US is a measure of introspection and a sense of responsibility to one's surroundings.


j2k4, I really hope you're joking.:mellow:

Once you delve into "major worldviews", you've expanded the palette to include much more than Buddhism, and arrived at a point at which I would really hope you're joking.

Promoting Buddhism as a pacifist way of life is a myth. They have broken up into various sects as have all other 'ways of life'. I cant remember offhand any organization formed by man that has not broken up into sects through squabbling and such like.
As I said earlier one such Buddhist sect was believed to have been responsible for the Tokyo subway(Not the sandwich place:)) bombings.

I have included a link to an article about Buddhist violence down the ages. If you have a spare half hour.:P

Perhaps you should look into the concept of Faith.

It is a provable fact that Jesus did live. The resurrection is what cannot be proven.

If your an evolution man than you are a big fan of things that are "hardwired." Ask yourself why the concept of God or a higher being is something that is "hardwired" into us.

There is no proof of evolution either. There is no proof of Anything.

Most of your scientific beliefs are only theories. Until something is proven to be untrue it is as such.

The fact that people of Faith take the resurrection as truth does not make it a croc. That is something you are dealing with.

You didnt bother to add anything to the discussion other than your disgust for Christians. Big surprise...and quite original.

[zoe68]

I've no disgust what-so-ever for any true religion, what I was saying is that I find it unbelivable.
Tell me what is the proof that "Jesus", the son of "God", born to the "Virgin Mary" ever really existed. Or is it in that picture "the last super" It's like we have been told a story for so many years we believe it.

You'll have to do the research for yourself(if you can stand it). The Jesus of the bible was a real person-that is a fact.

Whether or not you believe in the virgin birth and the like is not for me to convince.

What is a/the true religion?

I'll assume you believe in a God because you used the upper-case G.
Also you use the word WE. You must believe in some higher power,no?

I don't believe Da Vinci was alive during biblical times. It is a painting,nothing more.

I'd like to know what you do find believable. Do you believe that you and I are the result of a single hydrogen atom in an ooze developing lungs and legs?

Get back to me.

Off topic! Come on if you wish to find out what Christianity is or was or meant to be, then start a new thread.

Perhaps best would be first to to look to countries as Tibet to see what can happen. Which means, it's very difficult but not impossible. First it's important in Buddhism to work on oneself also to learn to respect all life forms. Important of all, is to work on your own thoughts and so meditation is an important if not the most important part of Buddhism. You need to create a heaven in your mind while you have still have the energy and time to do so. Also, there is only one Buddhist Nation, it's called the Sangha. You still have some time don't waste it.:)

[zoe68]

Yes your right Wizz Off topic, I'll come back another thread!

That was childish. Leprechauns?

You can use what ever euphemisms you need. I won't make excuses.

Now now look at the way you react, You are just trolling here in this thread.
As a child you will enter your kingdom of heaven. Your sarcasm will not be heard there.

For Buddhists the situation is somewhat different..as all language childish or not if it comes from the heart is clearly understood.

Did I miss something? How nice of you to give me permission to enter Heaven.

Passive/Aggressive does not equal Buddhism.

You are so wise Wizeard. I feel like I've been filled with Helium just responding to you.

How is the shade under your Bodhi tree?

PS Try reading 1 Corinthians 13:11

Until your next...Oh Wise and Wizeard One.
