can his students represent him?Originally posted by Origami:Haha! I met his students. Many learned monks and practitioners. Talk to them n tell me what u think. -
His teachings are taught to His students. Thus when we take refuge we take refuge to the Sangha as well. They represent Him in this time. During teachings the monks teaching request His wisdom to be transmitted to others.Originally posted by zacken99:can his students represent him?
But of course, not all Buddhist are qualified. We aspire to be Buddha. Thus we practise. Thru practise and proper cultivation of the mind, we generally are able to speak well and with much sense. -
Tibetan buddhism is Mi Jiao in chinese. The reason it is called so is because of the practise. There are many links about tibetan buddhism. There are 4 main schools. Gelug, Sakya, Kagyud and Nyingma.Originally posted by Blueskyz:Just a query, do you happen to know of a buddhist sect called mi jiao (from Tibet if I'm not wrong)?? Any info on the sect?? -

If u have taken refuge, u'll know that the triple gems are the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha. All buddhist who take refuge knows.
The Sangha are representatives of the Buddha. They preach the same teachings given to them by the Buddha. Scriptures and books are all well kept for centuries since the passing of Buddha.
When we listen to teachings, it is very dependent on our very own karmic imprint and mental delusional obstacle. Thus the Buddha had to give teachings 3 times due to the mental faculties of different people. That is why the Sangha REQUEST His widom to be transmitted. We all hear and understand things differently, so it is very easy to doubt that the teachings are not His. -

Good question.Originally posted by zacken99:so u totally believe him?
Buddha has ever said never to just believe wat He says. Always investigate. I believe in His teachings and while I do investigate along the way, I am still convinced of the teachings. -

A religion is a religion. Buddhism to me is a teaching. Believing is not obsession. With proper practise, it is mind transforming. All problems cease to become problems.Originally posted by zacken99:wat is a religion to u? -

Originally posted by zacken99:when do U think could a person call himself a buddhist?
One who has taken refuge and follows the teachings of the Buddha. Many who read about the Dharma and understands it well but has not taken refuge eventually due to even deeper understanding, takes refuge.
After all, a Buddhist is one who follows the way of Buddha. Just as Christian is one who follows the way of Christ. Thus taking refuge is 1st step in following the path of Buddhism.
But anyone can call themself a buddhist. They can even call themself God if they want. -
