Buddhist Statue is not Satanic

This letter was wrote for a boy (an old friend in classroom) who blame Buddism that it is a part of Satan.

The Bible said Satan tried to deceive people to worship the statues, because He did not want people to worship God. Some Christian or Catholic think that Buddhism is Satanic, because people worship the statues. In fact, the first statue of Buddha was made by the soldier of Alexander the Great, when he and his army went to India. They made wrong hair-cut, too. They made that hair-style from the Hindi priest. Buddha cut his hair off, when He made a determine to ordain.

Anyway, Buddhism is reasonable religion. The pure of it, is not statue or miracle. Nowadays, people try to use the religion for their business, so the image of it has got changed.

To be a Buddhist, you do not have to read those books of Tripitaka. Only, you are nice people; give other people without advantage; be conscious and calm and then you will solve the problem very well. Buddhists can believe in other religions, too, if those religions teach people to be nice. The goal of Buddhism is to go out from the circle of sorrow. If people still need to be rich, or need to get this – get those, and if they cannot get higher, they will be sad.

For this page, I will stop writing, because it will be too long. Just know, the pure circle Buddhism does not need statue. Not materialism and not personalize. (just – Do charity to anyone, no specific)

Lotus for Buddhist Monk

The Buddists always give the lotuses to the monks or to the temple. They do as tradition. In fact, they can give any kind of flower to the monk. Monks are from various kinds of people with various of status. There is no classes or levels after ordination. Every monk respects each other. Buddha said that the monks were from many different places, so people can give them any kind of flowers.

Why do people give lotus to the monk?

Buddha compared human as lotus in 4 position. First is the under-the-mud lotus. That is people who cannot understand anything, although the genius tries to teach them. Second is the under-the-water lotus. That is people who must take time to understand something. Third is the boom lotus. That is people who can understand anything so fast, and they really need the teacher or the knowledge from anywhere. Forth is the bloom lotus. That is people who are really bright. They can understand everything suddenly and exactly correct.

Surely, the lotus that people can pick up from the water is the third or the forth. They think that monk must be bright people, because they are calm. When people are calm, they will understand everything well.

This is the reason that Buddists give monk the lotus.

Letter #3 จาก Sw Eden

คุณเคยได้ยินหรือไม่ว่า การฆ่าคน เป็นสิ่งที่บาป จนกระทั้ง ผู้นั้น จะไม่ได้เกิดเป็น คน อีกในชาติต่อ ๆ ไป
นั่นเป็นเพราะว่า คนผู้นั้น ไม่ต้องการชีวิตความเป็นคน จึงได้ลงมือฆ่าคน
การฆ่าตัวตาย ก็ถือเป็นการฆ่าคนชนิดหนึ่ง
ดังนั้น ผู้ที่ฆ่าตัวตาย จึงไม่ได้เกิดเป็นคนอีก

จากข้อความข้างต้นแสดงให้เห็นว่า การฆ่าผู้อื่น และการฆ่าตนเอง เป็นความบาปทั้งคู่
การทำให้ผู้อื่นมีทุกข์ก็เช่นกัน การทำให้ตนเองมีทุกข์ก็เช่นกัน

หากต้องการทำให้ผู้อื่นมีความสุข ก็จงอย่าให้ เขามีความสุขบนความทุกข์ของตน
สิ่งที่ดี และสมควรทำที่สุดนั้นคือ การใช้ชีวิตอย่างมีความสุข โดยไม่เบียดเบียนผู้อื่น
หรือ ถ้าให้ดีไปกว่านั้น จงทำให้ผู้อื่น มีความสุขเช่นตนด้วย
