3d Episode 2: Is Buddhism a religion Part 1 of 2

[Thomme94]

My question is:

1)How do you define growing? is it to grow more mature or just to know and follow the buddhist teachings more than before?

2)Does this growing touch your karma and affect your next lifes?

3)is being human the last stage before nirwana or can an animal get "into" nirwana?

Thanks

the volume is much better :)

1) What is the 'higher power' in Buddhism?

2) What does 'faith' mean in Buddhism?

3) If you read a lot of books on Buddhism but you don't practice are you Buddhist?

Thank you.
