About Christianity… they obey miracles – virgin birth and resurrection from dead…. why not to obey Motherhood as self-sacrifice and a moral person who died for own faith… why do they need to invent these miracles?
I’m studying a social psychology course now, the psychology of groups… it says that group members tend to rate members of their own group higher than members of other groups.
I think the secret to success might be in rating yourself lower, not higher.
After studying religions of the world, Buddhism seems much more advanced than the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam). The only thing I can’t understand is the Dalai Lama’s rebirths. For some unclear reason, it’s only men (never women), and they are born in one specific region, not all over the Earth… seems like nonsense.
Also, it’s unclear why the Buddha did not accept the immortality of the soul (with built-in memory for working off karma in the next life), but instead said the soul is like a flame passed from one candle to another. I don’t really get that – how does the memory from previous life preserve to the next one?
