Existential nihilism. Buddhism has been erroneously misinterpreted as a sterile nihilism_ the emptiness cult.
Perhaps Buddha could not 'explain' satisfactorily his concept of Nirvana. I respect other interpretations but i think Buddha and Jesus spoke the same language. Buddha s "be the Light unto yourself" would correspond to Jesus' "the kingdom of Heaven is within yourself". But if you have a different approach we will be glad to know about it.
My take on religion was that although iam not a proponent of the cult part- the prayer should be a different way into digging into our deepest side and not only repetitive words.
Now i freeze when we start a discussion on religion cause the matter religion may degenerate into debate...and our purpose is not debating, but discussing. You saw at times a thread has to be stopped because lack of respect...
