👍 True. Reincarnation = Hinduism Rebirth = Buddhism Reincarnation = soul transmigration to new body after death Rebirth = transmutation of the mindstream (based on karmic impressions) to a new life Reincarnation = atman/soul Rebirth = anatta (no soul, no self)
I think we need to put things in perspective. (1) Religion itself is open to all, and anyone, regardless of their background or social status. Being one of the largest temples in Thailand, it is inevitable that there are devotees from all walks of life. (2) Buddhism places great importance on generosity because it is seen as the origin of wealth. The Law of Karma states that “we shall reap what we sow”. And if we provide for the happiness of others through our generosity, the karmic fruit will be that we’ll be provided for in our own happiness & convenience. We need resources such as wealth in our future rebirths. This is different from greed. Without wealth, we will not be able to continue to give. By practicing giving, it also roots us of our greed, one of the defilements. Donations made to Dhammakaya temple not only went into the building of religious facilities; the funds also go into humanitarian works such as the Nepal Earthquake relief funds, the flood victims in Thailand in 2011; creating more than 30,000 financial aids to teachers in Southern Thailand; etc.Rather than highlighting the modernistic design of the temple & it being the wealthiest temple, did we seem to have neglect and sweep under carpet the good works done by the temple over the past 50 years? (3) What the video did not highlight, is that Dhammakaya Temple places strong emphasis on practicing meditation. It is only through practicing meditation that we are able to train our mind, to be able to be think clearly; learning to reflect upon ourselves; be compassionate & learn to understand the truth of life. It is also through meditation that Buddha attains enlightenment. Thousands and millions around the world have benefitted from practicing meditation. The happiness and benefits of people around the world are testimonials to the temple’s true teachings.
Donating in temple is not a shameful merit good karma, we believe in karma cause and effect we offerings to temple and temple will looks whole sentient being that's the culture of Buddhism. Don't make fake issues on Buddhism CCTV communist propaganda
OK from real life exp. The dhammakaya has a branch in a city i won't name in southern california. They bought a MANSION to practice buddhism. My cousins family was all about giving to this temple and my parents never really religious got suspicious. CCTV news if you guys want a story i have one.
What does buying a mansion have anything to do with validating any point here? And also, you are so misinformed about this "mansion". It was previously a rehabilitation center that was renovated. If the grandeur of the temple is what your against, why don't you hate on every massive cathedral in Europe or even in the U.S? If your cousin's family supports & donates to a temple that actually uses it's funds to improve and expand the organization for it's followers then that's their right.
We are talking about human rights and freedom in faith & belief...When things involved extraordinary big scale of construction and extraordinary pool of people, meaning they are open to the world, that explain the scale we see in this vdo clip. Unusually seen does not equal to wrong or we can deny it's existence, just like air or electricity, they can not be seen but they are with us, their existence could only be felt by those who are exposed to them. Similarly, you can only know how this temple operate until you step into it to see the actual things for yourself. As the teaching of Lord Buddha: Ehipassiko... O, come and see for yourself.
Correction here ..Buddhist don't beleive in Reincarnation but in Rebirth... both are totally different if you study deeply
👍 True.
Reincarnation = Hinduism
Rebirth = Buddhism
Reincarnation = soul transmigration to new body after death
Rebirth = transmutation of the mindstream (based on karmic impressions) to a new life
Reincarnation = atman/soul
Rebirth = anatta (no soul, no self)
Emphasis on donations? That's obviously milking the laity. Dhammakaya is not buddhism. Its a cult. Too many scandals

This is a goodbye and I never bother coming back at Wat Phra Dhammakaya in the Khlong Luang district in Pathum Thani Province.
The very wonderful great performing !!🎉

Donating and expecting good karma is not shameful. The hoarding of wealth is disturbing but this is a problem with many temples.
Sadu🙏Sadu 🙏
May Lord Buddha bless you with Gautama Buddhahood🙏
