“Buddhism does not accept a theory of God, or a creator. According to Buddhism, one's own actions are the creator, ultimately. Some people say that, from a certain angle, Buddhism is not a religion but rather a science of mind.” PeopleMindDoeActionCertainReligionAcceptingTheoryBuddhismCreatorAngleScience Of Mind Author:Dalai Lama
“Christianity persecuted, tortured, and burned. Like a hound it tracked the very scent of heresy. It kindled wars, and nursed furious hatreds and ambitions. It sanctified, quite like Mohammedism, extermination and tyranny. All this would have been impossible if, like Buddhism, it had looked only for peace and the liberation of souls. It looked beyond; it dreamt of infinite blisses and crowns it should be crowned with before an electrified universe and an applauding God... Buddhism had tried to quiet a sick world with anesthetics; Christianity sought to purge it with fire.” IfsWorldShouldHas BeensWarSoulReligionUniverseChristianityFireImpossibleBuddhismMoralityQuietAmbitionHatredSickInfiniteTyrannyLiberationBlissCrownsBurnedScentHeresyFuriousPersecutedHoundsExterminationAnestheticsSick World Author:George Santayana
“I think that there are no forces on this planet more dangerous to us all than the fanaticisms of fundamentalism, of all the species: Protestantism, Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, as well as countless smaller infections. Is there a conflict between science and religion here? There most certainly is.” ThinkingWellsReligionForceDangerousPlanetsBuddhismConflictSpeciesIslamCatholicismHinduismFundamentalismJudaismScience And ReligionFanaticismInfectionProtestantismHinduism And Buddhism Book:Darwin's Dangerous Idea: Evolution and the Meaning of Life Source: Darwin's Dangerous Idea: Evolution and the Meaning of Life
