“If it is the religion, where is the God and what to worship ? ” —— Then you might be
realized, something peculiar or even something wrong.
—
Since, on his death-bed, Buddha ordered to his followers ” Don’t idolize or worship me”
In the Buddhist’s Mantras, there is even a single line of script which described that
Buddha himself bowed to anything, exist.
Buddha respects the Dharma and its rules, though rule is just the rule.
Rule is not the God or an object of worship. ——– Gravity is one of the physical phenomena.
Its rule is absolute. No one can escape —- though, no one think gravity is God nor anybody worship it.
Dharma rules the universe though as it is not like a personified western God,
Dharma is not answerable, even communicable to the human, it is not an object to worship.
Hence, Buddha didn’t need to worship the Dharma but he just followed and lived with it.
Because of this, the Buddhism has been often regarded to be NOT a religion,
and often mistook as an atheist.
( Lots of you may think, if this is the case, what about the many Devine figures in the temple and
worshiping rituals the monks are performing ? ? ?
——- It is just because of a mix-up with Hinduism. It is not the Buddhism )
In the same kind of misunderstanding, lots of people think the Buddhist practice is a part of rituals.
No, they are a training exercise to gain a state of the mind ” Mushin “.
( DO the things without Thinking —– leave it to the control of subconsciousness / Dharma )
Darma has unknowable mystical power ——- though, it is not because of Buddhism.
Since, Dharma and the Karma are ruling anybody, regardless one’s religion.
Believe or not, everybody you too, are under the Dharma —— hence, it’s better to aware it.
To become aware it ——- you are wiser. Which we call ” Enlightened “
Buddhism itself has no mysticism or mumbo-jumbo.
Buddha’s teachings or Buddhism is the way to see the Dharma and live with it.
Following and living with it, mean more smooth natural life, hence having the Peace.
