Is Buddhism a religion or a way of life
Article Toolsby Jun Way Lee
Buddhism is both a religion and way of life.
It teaches you to get rid of unecessary thoughts,
It teaches you the harsh truth of life,
And it gave you the wisdom to change unplesant life into pleasant,
It gave you the courage to change destiny.
Gautama buddha strongly emphasise on Karma,it's a believe accepted by all buddhist,
There are many other believes as well,
Like past life,the present and the future.
The main aim of a buddhist is to break the chains of reincarnation, and to do this we need meditation. Meditation brings wisdom to life.
Buddhism contains both wisdom and way of the universe,
So buddhism is not a religion nor way of life,
Buddhism's in between both of them, it's a religion where one cannot stick strictly on one side. It's a religion where one must have wisdom and believe. Buddhism is in between religion and way of life, as it can't be just way of life or religion.
