Buddhism has a serious flaw

[moolightaffairs]

religion faith is a very private and personal issue. it's in your heart. no need to propagate or influence others. some even make use of religions for monetary gain or political gain. that is why Christianity is out due to the its history. even Islam is out too.

If religion faith is a private and personal issue .. Then how do they get new members to donate money ? that's why they are spreading lies to brainwashed ppl hoping new members will be con .

After the death of Sakyamuni Buddha, there would be no Buddha on Earth until the appearance of the Bodhisattva Maitreya over a few billion years later, who is to become the next Buddha. During this transition period, in the era between the death of Sakyamuni Buddha and the rise of Maitreya Buddha, Sakyamuni Buddha assigned and delegated to Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha to act on his behalf, in order to save the sentient beings.

Real life have emotions and feelings and lost especially sadness during separation.

Buddhism wants you to get rid of all the emotions and detachment.

DO you want to become someone without feelings and human emotions?

This is unrealistic. We are meant to be humans. Not God.

Even Jesus God has feelings and emotion.

Intelligence has emotions and feelings. Only dumb robots don't have either. For the moment.

To view things with detachment does not mean that one has to 'get rid' of emotions.
Far from that. In fact, everyone with a saintly disposition cry because crying makes the heart soft and therefore easily receptive to Divine Light.
One might ask, cry about what?

My answer to that is it is in the experience of crying that is the matter.
Crying is unpretentious outpouring of emotion. If one can cry in the first place, then that is a good start..

You wrote,'Buddhism wants you to get rid of all the emotions and detachment.' This is inaccurate.
You meant.'Buddhism wants you to get rid of all the emotions and ATTACHMENT.'?

Gentle emotions towards any kind of attachment is natural e.g, a mother towards the young etc
These kinds of emotions are positive and should be viewed as such.

To view the world at another level, at a higher level, one has to be aware of what lies 'beyond'.
To be able to view that which lies 'beyond' is what is meant by detachment, that is, to step outside one's personal ego and to view the world from there.

In this day and age, with increasing passions and murkiness of intelligence, to attain anywhere close to nirvana is almost impossible. One can still attain Bodhisattva through compassion. In Nirvana, all the passionate flames in the heart is blown out leaving one to receive pure Divine Light.

Some personalities other than Siddharta Gautama Buddha to have attained nirvana are perhaps Honen and, standing outside oriental philosophy - which means love of wisdom - is Plotinus.
