Hungry Ghost Festival
-
All i can summarise from here is
Its just a topic on HGF
I dont think I wanna dwell much onto the fact somebody, as a Buddhist, is making insinuations about other people's beliefs.
There isnt much about Buddhism from the start, and if anyone wants to correct some myths, just go to the Guan Yin Temple at the Waterloo Street or something and tell those people instead of making noise here.

Who said there's no hungry ghost in Buddhism? Except there's not really a formal festival for relieveing them.

The current AEN and NO are doing great jobs, so not much issue also.

This is what they term as 'the return to fundamentalism', where dogmas and doctrines rule the dayOriginally posted by ^spidee^:Why should I care what others think about me? I didn't rob or steal. So we are lesser people because we are not PURE Buddhists?
where every aspect of your life, even the non-relevant ones, are being questioned and urged to 'repent' to gain enlightenment..according to their own way.

As far as I can see, this is an image issue, not a doctrinal one or anything.
Why should someone who diligently practise his faith be overly concerned about image and misconceptions?
Worse, he is concerned with some people going to other faiths and spreading misconceptions. I think, this potray all the negative behaviours of humans - anxiety, spite, uncertainty, concerned with petty things such as other people's judgement on you..
None of these will help one in his faith.. -

I tot you already dont want to talk to me?Originally posted by Cenarious:can u plz stop tweeking a few words here and subtly change what i was talking about?
do u agree that many ppl r misled into thinking wrong of what buddhism really is becos of noobs that claim to be buddhist but all they do is burn paper?
Anyway, again, image issue...
'Misled' here is the key word.. -
why this year so long ar?
-
becos if one were to need a religion he would be turned off by the seemingly meaningless activities done by chinese ancestor worshippers who claim to be buddhist and thinking that it wont lead to anywhere other than letting the dead have a car to drive and a house to live in. Then they would be denied the chance to practise buddhism in this life which is very wastefulOriginally posted by laurence82:As far as I can see, this is an image issue, not a doctrinal one or anything.
