Hi friends

If Cyrus- the Great could attain enlightenment while ruling with justice and serving his people and humanity; why could not Buddha?

Cyrus left a legacy on the art of leadership and decision making, and he attributed his success to "Diversity in counsel, unity in command."[13] Cyrus the Great respected the customs and religions of the lands he conquered.[14] It is said that in universal history, the role of the Achaemenid empire founded by Cyrus lies in its very successful model for centralized administration and establishing a government working to the advantage and profit of its subjects.[8] In fact, the administration of the empire through satraps and the vital principle of forming a government at Pasargadae were the work of Cyrus.[15] Aside from his own nation, Iran, Cyrus also left a lasting legacy on Jewish religion (through his Edict of Restoration), human rights, politics, and military strategy, as well as on both Eastern and Western civilizations.

  For the same reason you read a book that is one, authored by someone no longer alive today, and two, authored by someone known to be illiterate. You must take it on faith that your Qu'ran is the same as the first written Qu'ran, and that someone who was illiterate wrote it.
  
  I take it on faith that the Buddha's disciples persevered the Buddha's message.

  Hi friend
  
  If one cannot verify; it is not a must to read it. One should not believe blindly but with reason, experience and verification.
  
  You just make an experience. If we take one generation of 25 years; then it would be about 16 generation since the death of Buddha. The verbal transmission would have exchanged chain of 16 heads at least , if not more. Make five rows of persons whom you trust to be most memorizing; each row having 16 person in it. Then transmit text of passages as long as the pali canon; to the first person in the rows hitherto unknown to them. When the first persons has been given enough time to memorize the text, then he should go to tne next person in the row an transmit it to him; till the message reaches the last person in the row one by one. The last person should write the message. Since there are five rows; you will get five messages. Now see for yourself as to what has happened to the original message.
  
  This would be an experience to rely or not to rely on a message that has reached after four hundred years.

  The same can be said of the written word.
  
  You do not own the first original Qu'ran, and it was written many centuries ago. You have absolutely no verification that the Qu'ran you have today is the original. Someone, anyone, at any point in history could have rewritten it for their own purposes. You could be reading nothing more than propaganda. You cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you are not. So your Qu'ran is a waste of time to read by your logic.

  Distortion is inevitable in that way you are correct but this holds true for all religions . Maybe the book is still original but the message has been distorted and like I said before I dont think Muhammad has said some passages the Quran.
  Then spiritual books have great depth and misunderstanding it is easy.

  Hi friend SiddSingh
  
  Buddha is presented by the Buddhists and Buddhism as an ascetic and as a person who did not value the family reltionship; which is absolutely wrong. It is no fault of Buddha; but the fault of
  Buddhists and Buddhism .
  
  The world only need to follow a Buddha who is pro-life, actively involved in the life, cares the family and parents cares his friends; to summarize a normal person.
  
  There is no wisdom in being ascetic and doing wrong to others.
  
  I love Buddha as I do love Zoroaster and Krishna.

  paarsurrey we've had this same conversation a dozen times. No matter in how many different ways you ask the question my answer is not going to change.
  
  The Buddha was a great man, who upon realizing what the world was really like beyond his palace's walls endeavoured to do something about it. After many years of seeking knowledge and meditating on what he had learned he found what he felt to be true about the human condition and how to overcome it. He then chose to share that message with others.
  
  He chose not to write anything down because, in my opinion, he was wise enough to realize that as time changed the human condition would to. What was true for him then may not be true 100 years from then. He didn't want people 2000 years from his death to be following the same path blindly without thinking about why for themselves. Unlike most of the religions, he didn't want people to follow him blindly like sheep being led by a shepherd. He wanted people to discover for themselves what was true for them and for the time in which they exist and that is exactly why I am Buddhist, and exactly why I am not Buddhist.
  
  Buddhism was never meant to exist, but given the nature of humans, it was inevitable it would be created.
  
  The Buddha realized that the only constant in life is change, and that our attachment to things in life is what causes our suffering because nothing remains constant. To write down his teachings would be against the core of what Buddha believed.
  
  I'm really sorry that you'll never fully be able to understand that.

  To keep order, and unite the people - the same reason why any religious scripture is written. As I said, after 400 years there would have been great division amoung followers of the Buddha, and so the First Buddha Council came together to unite the factions.
  
  I am not against the writing of the Pali Canon, I am against the blind following of it. I think that religious scripture can be a useful tool in one's progress, but as soon as one follows it word for word blindly, that tool becomes a hindrance.

  That isn't what I said at all paarsurrey. It was written to give order to chaos. The most respected disciples of the Buddha came together and deliberated on what was the most fundamental of the Buddha's teachings, came to an agreement on the Buddha's message, and put it together in the Pali Canon to give direction to the Buddha's followers. So long as it isn't followed blindly, it has a wonderful message, and is a wonderful tool.
  
  It was more than likely a political decision to write it, but why it was written is completely irrelevant. What it is used for is what is relevant. It is used to give direction, and help those less philosophically inclined to find meaning.
  
  One can start climbing a mountain from any point along its base, but the path the most travelled will be the easiest trip up. Some choose to find their own way, and others choose to follow the pack. Neither are wrong. The Pali Canon helped provide a path to those who didn't know how to find one themselves.

  paarsurrey, you cannot understand the Buddha because you don't understand the Buddha's message.
  
  Your religion requires surrender, and devotion of its followers. It requires unquestionable faith in Allah. You impose these Islamic ideals on the Buddha, and as such do not comprehend everything he stands for.
  
  The Buddha is not a prophet. The Buddha did not outline a path to enlightenment chizelled in stone. The Buddha did not give laws to his followers. There is no permanent message of the Buddha because nothing is permanent, the Buddha knew that. His eightfold path is open to interpretation because that's exactly what he wanted, for people to interpret it for themselves. What does Right Views mean? That will change as time does, and it will differ from person to person.
  
  All the Buddha asked of his followers was to think for themselves. To find their own way. If the Buddha were alive today he would not be displeased. Life is change, and we must change with it.
  
  But, not everybody will reach this same point I have on their own. Some people need structure, some people need to be told what to do, and that is what religious scripture like the Pali Canon is for. It still preserves the basic message of the Buddha, it is true to what the Buddha said, but to truly transcend the human condition, one has to look beyond it - but that doesn't mean it isn't important.
  
  To understand the Buddha, you have to stop thinking like a Muslim.

  The road block is the nature of his religion. It requires complete surrender, and unquestionable devotion. He is such a good Muslim that he can't see anything any differently. His faith requires him to take the Qu'ran for granted. To question the authenticity of any of its words would be blasphemy... which makes explaining any other philosophy to him extraordinarily difficult lol

  Hi friend mohitmisra
  
  Muhammad did not author Quran; it is authored by the Creator- God Allah YHWH, and revealed on the heart of Muhammad.
  
  Quran is a symtematic Revelation; if one misunderstand a verse; one should see the context, which consist of at least five preceding and five following verses; with the context one can get a clear understanding. The verses in context hint the other verses related to the verse in question.
  
  One may try it; no harm.

  Still can't hide the hate and psychotic crap though!

  Hi friend SiddSingh
  
  Muhammad did not know how to read and write. When the Creator- God Allah started descending Word of revelation on his heart; Muhammad memorized it by heart. The Creator -God Allah YHWH took the responsiblity for its security and protection.
  
  [75:17] Move not thy tongue with this revelation that thou mayest hasten to preserve it
  [75:18] Surely upon Us rests its collection and its recital.
  [75:19] So when We recite it, then follow thou its recital.
  [75:20] Then upon Us rests the expounding thereof.
  
  http://www.alislam.org/quran/search2/sh … p;verse=12
  
  From Muhammad his companion learnt Quran by heart and from them others; this verbal system continues to our present times. If one wants to verify; one needs to go to any mosque nearby and ask the people there that one wants to meet a Qary or Hafiz of Quran. One could take a printed Arabic Quran with one. The Qari Hafiz would recite Quran verbally ditto as the written one.
  
  Under instruction from the Creator- God Allah YHWH; Muhammad dictated to the scribes; the Word revealed also.
  
  So both written and verbal Quran; supporting on another are secured and protected available at any time.
  
  I welcome all other scriptures to mention the context; it is a common sense that the context fixes the value of a word in a sentence; and value of a sentence can only be ascertained from a passage; so on and so forth.

  2. The system of learning by heart from mouth to mouth starting from Muhammad downwards exists in case of Quran till our time and the time to come.
  3. The written system also exists; side by side from the time of Muhammad and supports the verbal. Muhammad himself had appointed scribes to write; and he himself used to dictate to the scribes. Buddha did not do it, as you have confirmed; he preferred not to write it.
  4. Did you try the experience I mentioned to you; so that you have an idea of it?

God did not write any of the worlds holy books, they were written by men. When God calls to people, we know His voice. We believe by faith, not by man's authority. Everyone's relationship to God is unique. When we believe, we can submit to the authority of the holy books. But it's not the other way around. The books are not the authority unless we first believe that they are.

Hi friend Parr,

So you mean that since Muhammad was illiterate, he memorized whatever Allah told him?

And then his friend learnt it by rote, and so on it passed. [Obviously Muhammad had a very good memory, in that he memorized an entire book . How many days did Allah take to REVEAL to him?]

Where in this process was PEN put to PAPER, and words written? Who did it?

How can you be so sure that what you have learnt from a written Quran is the same as was REVEALED to Muhammad? DO we have to take your word for it, or do you have any PROOF?

Is it not possible that those who actually wrote put words of their reckoning into it?

Yes, the so called Verbal Quran and Written Quran may be same, but that does not guarantee that either of them is the same as was revealed to Muhammad.

hmm, after going through a brief study, I found an interesting trait in the ahmadiya muslim's faith system. They have a tendency of merging Two major characters into one. For instance, Jesus was Buddha & then in the second coming, Jesus was Mahdi(the islamic prophesized messiahs) & finally, Mirza Ghulam Azam was both Jesus & Mahdi. Mathematically,

Mirza Ghulam = Jesus = Buddha = Mahdi

Its like Superman = Spiderman = Batman = He-Man
