Buddhism. A wrong way?
As I saw the movie Samsara directed by Pan Nali from the year 2001 today at the end there were much things said about the history of Buddha.
Was Buddha really a nice guy who cared about the pain of others and how to destroy unhappiness? Everyone in Asia knows his story. But then in the movie it was said: Whats with his wife Yashodara? Just a very few know her story.
Buddha left Yashodara and his son Rahul in the night in his 29th year to find the true way and epiphany. But at all he just cared about himself. He did not cared about his wife or his son. His wife had to bear much pain as her nice husband just left her. She was been forced to live like an ascet from this day and started to bear her pain by helping poor and weak people. But Buddha just tried to find his way of epiphany.
His wife Yashodara had to do everything alone. She had to finance her life and raise her son Rahul totally alone just like a real loving and caring mother. And she helped the poor and weak people. She never thought much about herself. Just like Jesus did. Buddha just thought about himself to find the way of epiphany only for himself. But in the movie its said that he could had been even find it if he just would had live with his family together. I also believe that. He still could had lived with his wife and son together just as it is commanded by God also AND help the poor and weak at the same time and fight against the suffering of these people.
Strangely I see pictures of buddhist monks who are out in the streets of the cities even taking from the poor people the food to eat it in their church. Is this the way? Taking from the poor instead of giving to them? Surely the catholic church did these crimes too but thanks to Martin Luther this has been revealed. But the buddhist monks do the same mistakes even today. They also pray to statues which is forbidden, believe in fortune tellers and many other things the real God forbid in the Bible and the Quran.
So is Buddhism the real way to achieve happiness? Yashodara hadn't a chance to decide. Because of her non-loving husband who only cared about himself she had to live alone in sadness. Can you imagine how did she felt after her husband just left her alone with their only son? She was like Jesus. She helped the poor even as she was weak.
This movie showed me again that God exists and that only the ones get happiness who love their family and the poor people instead of just walking for themself to find the light.

Actually this is just in the previous time of the estiblish of the Budha religion.
In fact, most of the church of the Budha is rich. And have more ability to help the poors.
Maybe when your Chinese become native level. I can teach you some easy Budha poems written by old Chinese.
It really can help you to understand the religion.
In my opinon, any ancient religion have the advantages better than the disadvantages.

Arthur read the old testament which is guilty for the christians too. Christians are not forced to be peaceful and we also sometimes have to enter the state of war for defense just like the muslims do.

Disrespectful! Do you know that many wars between religions are caused by people having such thoughts? You can have your "belief". But keep it to yourself, unless you want to provoke people and cause disharmony which I strongly believe Jesus will never want to see!

Maybe Jen but the Bible and the Quran are totally against this. Buddha acted against the holy laws although he didn't knew them. Yashodara didn't knew these laws as well but at the end she just followed them without knowing it. I'm sure that Buddha did this because of his egoism and not because God lead him. Buddhism is not even a religion because the bhuddists do not believe into God. Would God let a founding of a religion happen which does not believe into him? Well yes I also remember Ruth. I have to reread her story again because I do not remember much of her. Funny I can remember the larger stories in the Bible better then the small ones. :D

i just wanna say everything happens in this world with a reason cuz God lets it go.You think his wife suffer a lot that make you feel differently about him.personly to say i just think when God shut one s door then he will open another window for this people.so her suffering perhaps make her to help others a lot.so in that way that makes things differently,for sure i dont on the side of the man who abandon his family.and the girl reminds me of Ruth.
