[QUOTE="Boozegood:1326125"][QUOTE="ark:1326121"]yeah. it's been used to justify killing, adjusted and morphed as it spread, just like many philosophies and religions. i don't think it can ultimately be classified as a religion. it does not have a creation myth, worship, or prayer, just meditation. i wouldn't say i'm a buddhist, there are truths in it that foster self-awareness, empowerment, and logic in a way that religions avoid.[/QUOTE] Buddhism most certainly has all of those things, in fact it has multiple varieties of each depending on if we are talking about Mahayana/Therevada, Tibetan, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, etc. A simple example just off rhe top of my head would be Nichirin Buddhism; entirely forgoing meditation, a usual mainstay of Buddhism of course, in favor of prayer/mantras to achieve satori. Also there are certainly Buddhist hells. In fact there is an entire genre of artwork dedicated to depicting Buddhist hells. Again forgive me for being a crap conversationalist right now as I am on my phone. [/QUOTE]
