  "If you do not yet have the affinity with Buddhism in this life, the best you can hope for a non believer, is for them, themselves to create good karma and positive affinity with Buddhism. How do we create good karma, by being morally upright, kind deeds and peace of mind. So we encourage non believers by helping them being the best they can be, and also have a positive impression of Buddhism. If that being good for non believers, via their respective scriptures, so be it. Do not under estimate the importance of affinity. You can bring the cow to the water, you cannot make it drink. The cow must want to drink.

  Recommending the scriptures of others’ religions does’nt mean embracing other faiths, neither does it mean you stop reading Buddhist scriptures or abandoning your Buddhist practices. Or abandoning our refuges or or vows? Would you? I won’t."

  "Further, you claim that I take being Buddhist for granted which is not true because as a Buddhist, I seek refuge and rely only on the Buddha and his teachings and not other teachings. On the same time as a serious purelanders, i would only rely in Amituofo but not Bible and Quranic teachings to gain rebirth in Pureland. Can You please tell me, which Pureland Teaching or Pureland Master told us that we can rely on bible and quran to gain rebirth in Amituofo??"

  Statues differ in difft country, difft culture and difft people but the Dharma does not differ in country, culture and people. The Buddha's message is only one.

  Here I am referring to non Buddhist on being unable to rely on Buddhist teachings owing to current lack of infinity with Buddhism. Nowhere did I or Jing Kung tells us Buddhist to rely on bible and quran.

  it is clear that you are a christian from your comments on god and judgement. Buddhism is unlike the god religions in this world, past, present or in the future. Buddha has rejected the concept of god creator and soul.

  When facing non buddhists, we too tell them what we believe in a respectful manner, we do not start our skillful means by telling them "God is actually Buddha nature" it already wrong to begin with.
  
  And as i said, the problem now is reversed. Venerable jing kong is teaching that there is only One God, appear as Buddha in india, Kongzi in china and so on ...
  
  This is the bigger problem now.

  So does it mean that if you read a bible or the koran you will lose faith in Buddhism? Possibly, as the reality is, if you are inclined towards the concept of a creator, you will veer towards a Godhead anyway. But if your karmic affinity is strong, you will never be disillusioned. Instead, you will have an expansiveness of heart, your paramitas will strengthened immensely."

  Your accusation:-

  "Again, i ask .. is there anything wrong for a Buddhist to solely seek refuge and practise only the Buddha and his teachings?"
• Weychin

  24 Feb 11, 15:00

  By asking me this, you are insinuating that either I feel it is wrong to seek to only practice Buddhist and his teaching or that you mean that I imply that Buddhist practice is not enough, and must be supplemented by other teachings.
• Weychin

  24 Feb 11, 15:01

  I did neither.

  Lastly:-

  "Lastly, you accuse me of hearsay and wanted "evidence" I gave you evidence and you know find new excuse, this is perfect example of peole who cannot analyse. But luckily people like "realization" can speak from a neutral point of view corresonponding to Buddhist teachings and also "dawnlight" who held up his/her promise to "shutup" on Mck issue but he/she also went further by clarifying what's wrong with Ven Jingkong after watching the video. This is what I call, investigation and not blind belief."

  My accusations stands, as I see through with eyes of compassion, and able to see the context of his conduct, while you see with eyes of self righteousness. The Bodhisattva Path aims to save all sentients being until samsara is empty. Jing Kung teaches his followers to show patience and compassion to non believers, to understand them by acknowledging them, not creating divisive lines through religion.

  You are a political creature, you carry an agenda against Jing Kung and his movement of Peace and Harmony, that's why you distort words in their original context to pursue you goal.

  There are already some proselytizer already doing this, they did it thinking it is for the greater good. They are just being ingnorant.

  Shall Buddhist start drawing a line and cause division too?!! Is this an acceptable Buddhist conduct?
