A lot of people in my life have been Buddhist. I have a Buddhist temple and a philosophy, but it hasn’t really helped me in terms of understanding Buddhism.

      I found out through some friends, but I don’t have many friends and I can’t speak for others.\n\nEdit: I’m not being mean, but I just feel like I’ve been a victim here. I want to share my experiences with the world to better understanding and understanding of people, and I’ve had so much negativity, but I think I’ve just been singled out as a victim. I’ve spent hours trying to figure out what it is that I’ve gone through, and it’s been overwhelming, and I’ve been in a good place in the world, but I’ve been so confused. I wanted to share my experiences and hopefully help make Buddhism a more welcoming place for people to come into.\n\nEDIT: It didn’t make any sense. I’m not asking for sympathy - I just feel like I’m being singled out. Please help. If there’s anyone you’ve ever experienced this, please let me know. I’m so very grateful for all my love, and for all your support. Please help me to be as helpful as possible.

    That quote is one of the reasons it’s hard to be a Catholic and a Christian. Many people in the Catholic Church have no idea what they are talking about. Even when they ask some pretty important questions, they are often told they are a heretic.

      Buddhism isn’t a religion or a philosophy. It’s a set of beliefs and ethical teachings that guide how you live your life. I have no desire to go out and change anyone else’s beliefs or moral code. But that said, I still find it interesting that people who haven’t met me, ask me about what my opinion is. I’m curious to see what people believe about me.\n\nIf people ask me, I will try to clarify what my opinion is.\n\nI hope this answers your questions.\n\n[View Poll](https://www.reddit.

    I don’t know why, but you see a lot of people who spend a lot of time and effort on Buddhism. I don’t know why it’s not a strong religion or philosophy. I’ve always had a problem with Islam. To an extent. It’s the biggest thing I’ve ever seen in my life so far, and I think it was the one thing that kept me from going in there.

    I’m actually a big fan of the '90s TV show ‘The Simpsons’, where Homer and Marge look into the future and see how the world will look by 2050.

      EDIT: I made a mistake when I was trying to find an accurate depiction of the situation in the show, and I wanted to assume that everyone in the world would already be enlightened enough to live without religion.

    There are some things I am not sure about. There are two schools of thought in Buddhism. They are Shaivism, and the philosophies of both schools. There are good and evil, and even good and evil, depending on the school. Personally I don’t think I am aware of any such differences or differences in opinion on these issues. But for the most part I believe that Buddhism and other schools of Hinduism are actually very similar philosophically.
