What is the qualitative difference between believing in Buddhism and superstition?

Belief in Buddhism is to practice according to Buddhist scriptures, do not do all evil, and practice all good. Self-interest and altruism.

Superstition - is contrary to the Buddhist scriptures, harming others and benefiting oneself.

True belief in Buddhism is bound to let go of greed, and superstition is to ask for something.

Religion is a belief system produced by human beings in the study of the mysterious forces that govern the world, superstition is people's credulous belief and blind obedience to certain things, the former is a matter of faith, the latter is a question of thinking, and the relationship between the two is the relationship between goals and methods, rather than the juxtaposition of the same object. Why do you confuse religion with superstition? On the one hand, it is influenced by materialism, which simply reduces religion to superstition; On the other hand, because many religious believers blindly worship their own gods and violate scientific conventions, religion is misunderstood as superstition.

Religion is rational, superstition is emotional; Religion is an abstract theoretical system, and superstition is a concrete form of perception; Religion is the stable consensus of a group, and superstition is a random perception of individuals.

There are three reasons why believers convert to religion: one is customs, such as the religious people; The second is to seek the solace of the gods because of one's circumstances. The third is to convert to religion because of the search for the truth, the knowledge of the truth, and the pursuit of the truth. The first two types of believers make up the vast majority, and their image becomes the impression of religion.

True religion is not an unquestionable authority, but a ladder to the knowledge of truth, it is open, inclusive, and encourages speculation and progress, because of the problems of the ability and interests of their successors, religion has degenerated into a rigid dogma, and religion is a spark that stimulates thought, but it has become a shackle that suffocates thought.

Only the third group of believers have true religious beliefs, because they believe in religion not out of circumstance, not out of personal gain (religion as a last refuge), but out of a persistent pursuit of truth, in which there is no superstition, no worship, no authority, but in the search for the truth they recognize the wonder of the world and their own humility, and thus meritfully convert to the "gods". Religion and superstition belong to two different ideological realms, and the criteria for dividing this realm are talent, knowledge, and experience. Religion is supposed to be a bridge to help people to enlightenment, but superstition has degenerated religion into a tool to control people's minds......

A Buddha is an enlightened being! Not superstition!

Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are enlightened in deep meditation (when doing deep prajnaparamita)!

Heart Sutra Nan no Guanyin Bodhisattva (three titles).

Contemplating the bodhisattva of self-reliance, when he walks in the deep prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and all sufferings are overcome, and the relics are not different from the emptiness, the emptiness is not different from the color, the color is the emptiness, the emptiness is the color, and the same is true when the mind is acted, and the relics are the emptiness of the dharmas, which are not born or destroyed, are not impure, do not increase or decrease, are therefore colorless in the air, have no thoughts, have no thoughts, have no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, have no color, no sound, fragrance, touch the Dharma, have no vision, and even have no consciousness, no ignorance, no end of ignorance, and even no old death, no old age and death, no suffering, no suffering, no wisdom, and no gain. With no gain, Bodhisattva, according to Prajnaparamita, has no obstacles, no obstacles, no fears, is far away from upside-down dreams, nirvana, the Buddhas of the three worlds, according to Prajnaparamita, attains the three bodhisattvas, so knowing that Prajnaparamita is a great mantra, a great mantra, a supreme mantra, a mantra of non-equalness, can remove all suffering, and is true, so it is said that the Prajnaparamita mantra is the mantra of Prajnaparamita, that is, the mantra says: Reveal the truth, Paramita reveal the truth, Parata monk reveal the truth, Bodhisattva Bha!

Nam no Great Pessimistic Avalokiteshvara, Nam no Great Wisdom Manjushri Bodhisattva, Nam no Great Wish King Bodhisattva, Nam no Daxing Puxian Bodhisattva, Nam no Buddha, Nam no Buddha, Nam no Sangha, Nam no Buddha Shakyamuni, Nam no Medicine Master Liuliguang Buddha, Nam no Amitabha!

May the three obstacles and afflictions be eliminated, may the wisdom be truly clear, may the sins and obstacles be eliminated, and the world will always practice the Bodhisattva path!

Manjushri is brave and wise, and the wisdom of the universal virtuous is also restored, I now return to the roots of all goodness, with all his regular learning, the Buddhas of the three worlds praised, such as the most victorious wishes, I now return to the roots of all goodness, in order to obtain the special line of virtue! (Thoughts start from the heart, thoughts do not centrifuge, eliminate karma, accumulate merits, increase blessings, and open wisdom,).

The Great Compassion Mantra must be recited, and the Diamond Sutra must be read often

Hello, superstition does not stand up to study and investigation, therefore, all superstition does not allow people to doubt and require absolute obedience; not to allow people to study science, and to use scientific methods to study catechism; The more foolish the believer is asked to be, the better. Because superstition cannot speak of doctrines that are logical and conform to objective laws, it is necessary to win the faith of some simple-minded masses by pretending to be gods and ghosts and tricking up mysteries. Some of the sayings in the Buddhist scriptures have been confirmed in the process of the development of human understanding, such as the theory of metamorphosis, the theory of relativity, the theory of the origin of things and things, the theory of impermanence, and so on.

Some slippery lead principles, although they cannot be solved by perceptual experimental methods, can be reasoned by reasoning, that is, logical proofs. Therefore, some people say that Buddhism believes that Bo Haojiao is a scientific religion, and it is not an unfounded praise. Additional Information:

In Buddhism, wisdom has always been the right view and correct belief, not the blind belief that gives rise to faith. Blind faith is superstition! What if I told you:

I have a gem in my clenched palm, and that raises the question of belief or unbelief because you can't see it. But if I open my palm and let you see this gem, the question of whether you believe it or not arises after you see it for yourself. Therefore, there is such a saying in the Buddhist scriptures:

When you realize it, you can see it in the palm of your hand.

Summary. Hello, I'm Mr. Ma, and I'm glad to serve you. Whether believing in Buddhism is superstitious or scientific, different people have different views and understandings, and cannot be defined by a unified answer.

Some people think that believing in Buddhism is superstitious, because they feel that Buddhism is just a belief, and that belief is to find a kind of spiritual sustenance, or to seek peace, good fortune, liberation, and so on. They believe that Buddhism has no scientific basis and cannot use modern scientific methods to prove Buddhist teachings and theories, such as the six realms of reincarnation, karma, and the three thousand worlds. They also do not believe in the existence and supernatural powers of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and feel that these are the products of superstition and have no authenticity and credibility.

Others believe that believing in the Buddha is a science, because they feel that Buddhism is not a faith, but a kind of wisdom. They believe that Buddhism is a science that transcends the cognition of modern human science, or that it is a science that has not been proven by modern human science. They believe that the teachings and theories of Buddhism have their own inherent logic and rationality, which can be explained by the principles of dependent arising, the middle way, and the principles of cause and effect, filial piety, etc.

They also believe in the existence and supernatural powers of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, believing that these are the truths and abilities that Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have realized through their practice.
