I’m a Buddhist‚ and I believe in Karma. And I think Karma is not punishment or retribution but simply an extended expression or consequence of natural acts. We create our own karma. Karma is the result of the choices that we make every moment of every day. Karma is not a theory that says you do this and you will get that‚ whether good or bad.

The purpose of Buddhist meditation is to free ourselves from the delusion and thereby put an end to both ignorance and craving. The Buddhists describe the culminating trance-like state as transient; final Nirvana requires the insight of wisdom.

The Buddhist Experience Buddhism is a religion that focuses more on the individual and the actions of that individual‚ which was prevalent to me when I made my way into Portland and set foot in a Buddhist temple. The man I met within the walls of this temple was far from my stereotypical thoughts of Buddhist monks. The man I met looked like your plain old‚ average Joe‚ American man. Before I delve into the depths of my visit to this inspiring place‚ I need to sum up the Buddhist religion and why

Comparing and Contrasting More’s Utopia with a Buddhist Utopia Nothing could be further apart than the society depicted by Thomas More and an ideal Buddhist society. That may be what is first conveyed to people when they consider these two vastly different societies in a comparative manner. The first indicator of these extreme differences is that the Buddhist utopia is very much a mental one‚ while More’s utopia is more so a place where things are just in their perfected state.
