Buddha kept silent about God. This means that God is beyond words, mind and logic as said in the Veda. Buddha means the Buddhi or Jnana yoga that speaks about the absolute God. Thus He is the greatest incarnation of God. If one thinks Him as atheist, there can be no better fool. Mohammed showed the formless medium in which God exists, which is energy and this is presented by Shankara, because basically energy and awareness are one and the same. The prophet itself means human incarnation ...

go for Refuge to the Buddha,His Teachings and His Sangha-community of virtuous Friends. With Buddhist ethic we can understand that each set of Vows support the other and is natural continuation of the other. There is no contradiction between them. In OBF International we don´t think that there are two or more Sanghas : monastic & non-monastic. True Sangha is only One: the Sangha of the Buddha.

Buddhism ~ Buddhists To clarify a few things, due to a recent response video: I am not dissing Buddhism. That would be weird, I do meditate you know... But at any rate, this video was a response to an old video, with a dude who was ranting about how Buddhism is so evil.

These are roadsigns for us, symbols to awaken to truths ...
