Brother , enough Liao lah ..
. Give them abit space and let them breath for a while lah I think the answer to this is BOTH, but it depends what you mean by a 'religion' and what you mean by 'philosophy of life'.
It is a religion because it involves the elements of belief, faith and self- transformation, which do belong to some philosophies as such but which I believe are more characteristic features of religions. In all religions I would argue that faith and belief are paramount and also the self-transforming aspect. People turn to religion very largely because they thought it can improve their life, their self or their moral conduct or to take greater comfort in life. This is why religion is termed the 'opium of the masses' it is a 'bolster' which "protects" ppl from the bad times. At the very least, it offers that to us in the form of 'understanding which gives comfort'. In this sense a religion is a set of beliefs which we take comfort from but which cannot be conclusively proved objectively as true or false. So Buddhism is religion too
Bro, if u term this way..., everything is religion. From school to work. Drinking a beer to buying 4-D and many many others. Still in voice down to individual how they want to perceive. Like the last time I mentioned..., I work very hard, putting hours of works to get better & extra $$, is this greed? How right or wrong is this? I, yes, Me only knows the answer. I'm responsible for my cause and effect. It is the TEACHING of Buddha that opens one wisdom. FYI & IMHO, I'm still on this journey for an answer.
Buddhist can do anything n everything they feel deem right to do. From your sex desire, 69, fucking a cat or dog or incest. For every Cause, there's an effect. If its light..., u may able to handle. If its heavy...., good luck to u. From the above threads u troll, will come back to u very fast. Like I said, only u knows.
