His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa at KTD

buddhism is not a religion , its a way of life !! now stop arguing and practice compassion and kindness .

As a Buddhist I believe in Rebirth, not reincarnation like the hindu, muslim, and christian, this is what seperates Buddhism from everyone else. Its a subtle difference with manifold consequences, but not all of hinduism needs to be shunned most is in accord with Buddhism.

If you want to look from a historical perspective you cannot seperate the two religions buddha studied hinduism and used it's comosology and other ideas to express his own personal view. Also Bon is in my opinion more influential on buddhist religion then hinduism.

I pray for the great and wonderous bodhichitta so that I may liberate all beings from suffering. may all beings benefit!

Tibetan buddhism is not Buddhism. It is 90% hinduism.

Go and do some research in the Library or ask Robert Thurman.

[DorjeDriftwood]

no you are extrodinarily incorrect this a sure sign that you have never been in the presence of a real master like Garchen Rinpoche of the Karmapa. You would never discredit this religion if you understood the absolute radiant compassion of these people. It is inconceivable.may all beings benefit.

@BuddhainRough

Thats fine you can to say that and beleive that it doesnt hurt my life in anyway

[BuddhainRough]

I am a Tibetan and I don't believe in those reincarnation thing. Stop fooling people. Those reincarnation traditions were purely Hinudism, not Buddhism. In fact, The Buddha totally against Reincarnation. No wonder, we lost Tibet. If we keep fooling around with this kind of stuff, we will never gain our country back. Wake up and smell the coffee.

Sorry you're having a rough time on your way to Buddha-hood, BuddhainRough!

Forget about getting back to Tibet with your view. We still hope to see you in Dewachen in spite of your primitive beliefs about reality & your conflicting emotions.

u r a tibetan but definitely not a sincere buddhist.. and if u r not a buddhist... pls do... respect a religion as a religion than spreading somthing which is wrong over here when u have not done ur homework correctly... is unfair to urself and to those who wants to learn more abt this religion. only when u know than u can comment..i do hope u do change ur perspective after learning more abt it...probably tibetan buddhism don't suit u at all..but that does not mean is wrong...
