Wow. This was my EXACT answer. Whenever I debate with myself or anyone, whether Buddhism is a religion or philosophy, first thing that goes to your mind is how you define religion. If I explain Buddhism to an atheist it’s a religion, but if I explain it to a Christian it’s a philosophy
Anyway if you realize the four noble truths that is buddhism.for that you can go through and go beyond religion and philosophy.greetings from sri lanka.
Well isnt it easier to learn more about what covers religion by modern "science"? Even wiki is here reliable source. So Buddhism as world wide religion also covers buddhist philosophy, buddhist cosmology, buddhist psychology, buddhist meditation etc. Separation never helps. :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion
It's true scientists are do blind believe like religion . Example one scientist said human came from monkey after that all believes him till now without examine.
@@KarmaKraftttt There are scientists who have said humans came from Monkeys but more specifically the general belief is that humans and monkeys have a shared primate ancestor. Both conclusions require a monumental amount of Faith and are not rooted in any demonstrable reality. The field of archaeology has the best shot at this and they've repeatedly put forth bogus skeletons that have done more to harm their credibility than help it.
There is no objective evidence for the existence of Nirvana, rebirth or something other mental states which we find in “Dharma”. It is certainly not a science. It is a kind of religion, but not religion in dogmatic, Abrahamic sense. Moreover there also could be for example Christians or Muslims who claim that they have experienced some higher states of consciousness, like Marian apparitions for instance. So even in Abrahamic religions we could find such “evidencial” justification for their beliefs. The same is about their faith - this faith is not about faith itself, but about revelations, so it also could be interpreted as kind of “evidence”
Every religion and every ethical system is a philosophy. Ethics is a branch of philosophy. Buddhism is primarily a philosophy, and occasionally also a religion. There is certainly no science in buddhism, because there is no critical or sceptical thought in it. It is a belief system based only on faith or worldviews, but definitely not on rigorous empirical data. Buddhism has also its own mythology which is in contradiction with critical, scientific method of explanation. But this Monk generally explains definition of buddhism in right way - he doesn't reject philosophy in itself, as some religious figures did, like: Sayyid Qutb in Islam, Yehuda Halevi or Nachman of Breslov in Judaism, or Peter Damian and Tertulian in Christianity.
The answer you are trying to find is Buddhism is not a religion. Buddha never claimed to be God, know God or have God given powers. Buddhism is originally a life style and philosophy. However this has been lost in translation over the years resulting with people now ‘paying their way to Heaven’ at the benefit of the temples.
I think he may gave used faith as a common factor when he said science became a religion when you could not use your senses to comprehend hypothetical statements like the Big Bang theory and Blackholes for most people and they have to use faith in those people who have mentioned these theories. Just like having faith in the God to believe in Heaven and Hell in lay term to define religion.
No this is wrong. The most original and unchanged scripture confirms that the Buddha had miraculous powers, believed in and spoke to devas, asuras, nagas, demons and even the devil himself, called Mara. You can't deny this, it is in the most original scripture of the Pali Canon. So if a belief system has supernatural elements, it is defined as a religion. So Buddhism is a religion. Please stop spreading misinformation about Buddhism, it's not good and can misguided people

Science has become a religion. bravo, im sure you've met some resistance to that quite unpopular perspective.

neither of both....why would there be? But, if you all insist I"d call dharma, which is everywhere and, teaching of Dharma an "AXIOM"

@@KarmaKrafttttNah not really, Lord Buddha clearly believed in and taught that gods and spirits exist. He also had miraculous powers, remember.

I don't agree with science being a religion, science is an evidence based study, just like meditation is an experience evidence based study.
He's talking about when people blindly believe what scientists say. He says when people do that then it becomes a religion.
