I would like to ask some religious things, some thoughts about religion .

Religion is essentially a set of rules that provide people with a sense of identity, belonging and sustenance, and the reason why people believe in a certain religion is because its teachings just conform to their own potential internal drive and their potential expectations; If believers want to be free by believing in a certain religion, I think it is unlikely, because religion itself is a constraint, and this framework itself provides a limited worldview and values, and believers are already limited to the dogma of religion, and since there is a dogma, then how can there be real freedom. People are always selfish, vain, arrogant, these are the nature, religion only tells believers what to do and what not to do, which is essentially suppressing human nature, which will lead to a conflict between self-nature and religious dogma, and then chaos; No matter what religion, its scriptures do not give believers any way to selfish nature and analyze their own nature, and do not tell believers why people are selfish, why they are vain, and what they aim to gain from selfishness and vanity. I believe that the purpose of religion is to make believers of all religions slowly better, not to make people crazy.

Regarding the way of personal practice, I still agree with the Jain religion: the root of all troubles and confusion comes from oneself, and these chaos cannot rely on external conditions to be fundamental, the best way is self-reflection, self-correction, and self-improvement, in order to achieve the goal of self-enlightenment.

Every religion in the world is, for me, a cultural rather than a religious being. A religion is a good religion if it can lead a person to become better and better, positive, good, peaceful.

Formal religion is all about accumulating virtue and doing good, and for thousands of years, it is normal for our Chinese ancestors to believe in Confucianism and Taoism.

However, some cult gangs are indeed terrifying, and they cheat money and sex with ulterior motives. Please cherish life and stay away from cults.

It's not a cult, heresy, there's nothing to be afraid of. Religious belief is more about believing that there is a God in this world, the Lord who created the universe. So there are some people who just want to believe that.

However, it cannot be ruled out that there are still some lawless people in this world who use themselves as the center to steal the name of religion for profit.

Religion is not harmful to society, it is just that like-minded people get together to read the Bible and pray, and live a normal life, why is it terrible? What is terrible is the cult that kills people and sets fires.

It is a good thing to have faith, it can purify the soul, it can suppress the demons in the heart, and there is a reason for existence. See how to face it correctly.

How many people have been blinded by the chaotic religion and atheism that are the work of Satan in order to deceive the whole world and prevent people from being saved? How many people can't see the truth?

Some people seek the truth, some people find sustenance for the spirit, some people find a specific basis for their superstitious ghosts and gods, and some people collect money for deceiving believers.

Buddhism is a different matter, this religion is not a religion, but those who believe in Buddhism have also matched the above numbers to a large extent, and they cannot be treated separately.

Religious beliefs are.

Come to the source of people in their daily lives.

A representative of bai is summarized and refined.

du teaches people to recognize desire.

Don't be controlled by desires.

And with people. DAO helps others for good.

There is an object to which trust can be confided.

Religion is scientific, and you have to understand the concrete and the abstract, the macro and the micro.

The most important thing is to understand the difference between faith and superstition.

Religion is the source of mankind's knowledge of the future.

The subjective understanding of the cognition of the world, as long as there is an unknown realm, then religion will exist, because people must have an answer to rest assured, even if it is untrue, in order to further stabilize their hearts, believers will unite some people with the same idea to witness each other, therefore, religion has always existed in the form of a group, which also gives most people the warmth of the group, so religion reflects its objective role and value, for the lonely city people, he is beneficial, therefore, People who believe in religion are right, and then say that religious groups are terrible or not, it's not that religious groups are terrible, but people are terrible, and it's even more terrible when terrible people get together, people gather together because of a common point of thought, then, they will also defend it because of a common point of thought being attacked, if this common point is a school or a business interest, then it also shows that the society takes care of alumni or company employees and strives to create the value of the company's interests, which is mostly terrible, but if the ideological point is political rights, Then this kind of group is terrible, in the absence of religious influence, it will be the former Irish Republican Army, Japan's Red Army, Spain's Tower, etc., all of which have been listed as world terrorist organizations, if they have religious overtones, they will be the Taliban, al-Qaeda, etc., in fact, the real horror is not religion, but people with extreme subjective thoughts;

That's not how it's understood.

Come. The so-called "sectarian self-religious community" is not allowed.

Bai is afraid, but it is just a loose group of people with the same hobbies and pursuits.1 It's similar to a "community".

Let me borrow the words of Mr. Feng Zikai, a senior disciple of Master Hongyi: people in this world live in one building, and 90% of them are on the first floor, eating and drinking, which is called "material needs"; 9% live on the second floor, and in addition to simple eating and drinking, they pursue "spiritual needs"; Another 1% went up to the third floor because they pursued "the transcendence of the soul and the transcendence of life".

It can be seen from this that all people who have faith are pursuing things above the material, because they find that they have eaten and drunk but are not happy, then there must be a higher pursuit than eating and drinking, so faith arises from this.

For my personal understanding, Buddhism is the method, an educational discipline that explains the natural laws of life in the universe and the truth of the universe. Not scientific, but full of science; Not philosophical, but deeper than philosophical; Religion-like, but above religion (strictly speaking, Buddhism is not actually a religion, but has been "religiousized" by us). I paid attention to Buddhism and found peace of mind and fulfillment as a result.

I believe in Buddhism and I am steadfast.

The so-called: standing at the height of life to see survival, is science;

Looking at life from the height of life is philosophy;

Looking at life from the height of the universe is Buddhism.

That is.
