Wrong. Chinese buddha is the 'fat' buddha you're thinking of. The traditional indian or any other buddha is thin with long ears. Also there are hundreds of buddhas, not just the one.
yes, i think so. it just seems so pure to me...i feel like ive been in a dark room and all of the sudden im like faaaaaaaaawk this is awesome...
It certainly makes complete sense to me, and it's been a great help in making me a much better person, believe it if you will.
its not bullshit to me. im tired of living in this fucking negative and angry little bubble... if buddhism makes me feel good then i wouldnt consider that to be a waste of time.. just the opposite.
its not for everyone i guess... i dont like living in a world where everyone believes there is no 'god' out there... i dont like living in a world where everyone tells me not to believe that there is some divine force somewhere out there....cuz i do believe it and if that makes me dumb and crazy.. oh well... it helps me, it makes me feel good.
omg nemo!!!! awesome. you can teach me! be my mentor.I'm a Buddhist, have been for about 7yrs now, hit me up with any Q's.
Buddhism ROCKS!
i really really am digging it. im reading so much about it... i love the meditation, the simpleness...
i have sooooooo many questions

Whatever makes you happy so long as you're not hurting anyone in the process is what I say about such things. People can believe whatever they like so long as it doesn't negatively impact people or the world.
Living in a Buddhist way is very positive and happy without being unrealistic (imo). Things are a lot clearer, easier and calmer which makes you just feel so good and it also helps you make really quick personal growth.
