Good memories. I've been lucky to visit and Pray in the Lotus temple this year. So nice song! Thank you kefficho. @jorjThanks to you too for sharing Dear friend.
Hi. I'm glad that I was notified of new dialogue here. I need to say that, since my first post, I've come to a deeper "Rosetta-Stone-like" understanding of things: 1) God = Deep Compassion Reified 2) Deep Compassion = The Logic/Impetus behind the Golden Rule 3) The Golden Rule/Compassion for human suffering = The inspriation behind the Buddha's non-theistic quest that enabled him to derive the 4 Noble Truths. Hence God = Kwan Yin = Shakti = Golden Rule = Compassion! East and West United!
"The wisdom in raising up such buildings is that at a given hour, the people should know it is time to meet, and all should gather together, and, harmoniously attuned one to another, engage in prayer; with the result that out of this coming together, unity and affection shall grow and flourish in the human heart." - Selections from the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Baha"
@ArabGulf3330 The God Bahais believe in is the same God that you read about in the Qur'an, the same loving and just Creator Jesus spoke about in many of His parables This might be an important piece of information for you. Peace be on all.
That's a respectful term that buddhists use to refer to him. He didn't consider himself a God or a Creator. Anyway, it doesn't relate to his noble origins. And he didn't actually deny or affirm anything related to a Creator God. He rather focused on suffering and it's extinction. That's what buddhism is all about.
Right. Okay, scratch 'human suffering' and just put 'sentient being suffereing' and you cover everybody. My point is, that's DEEP Compassion. A theist could argue that "God", having 'Created' all living beings, embodies Compassion for ALL sentient (or pain-feeling) beings. After all "He" made them too! Hence the fact that the Buddha managed such depth of Compassion (karuna) rendered him (in Bahai eyes) a 'Manifestation' of DEEP Compassion (i.e. what Bahais might call "God")! :-)
IMHO, this temple represents one of the few uniquely redeeming qualities of the BF. For me, it was actually a gateway OUT b/c it got me interested in the truth about Buddhism; a faith that Bahais falsely claim to be revealed by the JudeoXianIslamic "God". In fact, the Buddha was explicitly NON-theistic! If he was truly a "Manifestation" of Yahweh, why would he deny "Him"? The Bahai Faith, rather than helping Yahweh, is actually a nail in "His" coffin given all of its distortions and BS!
Actually, we just don't bother much about it. If you feel theist, go on. But we focus on becoming buddhas to deliver the sentient beings from suffering, what involves meditation, morals and wisdom. No need to discuss about God.
I'm buddhist, and I wouldn't say Lord Buddha denies God, nor he affirms Him. It's just one of Buddha's Unanswerable Questions. Beyond affirmation or negation. But yes, it makes absolute non sense to say that Lord Buddha is a manifestation of God, considering what he taught.
I may not be a bahai, but i like this song! It's nice!!!!!
That Colombian song is "Lumbalu", by Leonor Dely and Millero Congo.
My brother went a pair of months there to serve. Its so amazing, I wish I could go someday.
I love this song! Oye, oye!
Precioso, me gustaría ir a verlo en vivo y en directo.

A mi me gusta mucho esta cancion ! I love that song !
I've been there, 20 years ago, and when I came back home, I became a baha'i ...
Yo también!
Tengo una amiga que ha prestado un año de su vida a servir en el templo de la India.

Oh, wow! I had no clue the Lotus temple was so beautiful! I -must- visit it some day!
Allah'u'abha!
q dicha tiene la India Marvilla de templo q grande es la Fe Bahai I LOVE
The Lotus Temple is one of 7 Bahai Faith Temples in around the world!
The song is a bahai song as well!
The song is Oye Oye, from Talisman, by Leonor Dely & Millero Congo
@Jesse G it's because the singer and musicians are Bahais and the lyrics describe the compassion and peace of that religion.
@azcactus2008 Well said! I appreciate your nice comment.
temples are always best
nice........
Oye, oye (lumbalu) by Leonor Dely & Millero Congo.
Sure. But Shakyamuni Buddha's quest was based on compassion (karuna) not only for humans, but for all kinds of sentient beings.
Nice
The music:

There are two lotus temples. One belongs to the Bahais, and the other belongs, I think to the Sikhs, Sylvan93.

You say God, I say Unoriginated. Who says Buddha was an atheist?
