I have learnt some religions such as hindu, Christian and muslim. But I feel that Buddhims is the best religion. Though I have such point of view I do not redicule other religion or saying that they are totally wrong. I believe they also have some truths. What do you think?

I think people should make an open minded choice of what they want to believe in and helps them through life. I am glad you found the path that works for you.

There are two easy answers to that question, 1.) the well of souls, water being poured out to bodies from a well as time goes by and population increases the well gets a little lower. 2.) Some believe that souls come from animals as well as humans in this case since there are species dying out every day it would make up for the imbalance of humanity on earth. Not saying I believe either one just giving you an answer.

As much as Buddhism is a part of my personal path I could never say its the "best" religion..The most peaceful YES...but to claim its the "best" implies its the one and only and I am not a fan of that way of thinking...Is it the best for ME sure it is..just like Vodou, Paganism and Native American spirituality are (and yes they are all part of my personal path) BUT just because my path is "best" for ME doesnt make it best for EVERYONE by any means..In fact it SHOULDNT be best for anyone BUT ME...

I think that my religion is best for me. I can honestly say I don't see myself being happy as anything other than a Celtic Reconstructionist Pagan. I have looked into many other religions, but I have never felt moved by them, or contacted by their deity or deities. So of course I feel that my religion is best for me because of my connection to my Gods. I have known other people for whom I would say that my religion probably wouldn't be the best. There are some people who need more organization and authority than it provides. If someone isn't self-motivated, my religion wouldn't work for them because they wouldn't do the study and work involved. I know a lot of people who are really happy in their current religions, and I'm happy for them as long as they are happy. That's my take on it. :)

I also like Buddhism. I'm a muslim actually, and i like the teach of wiseness of Buddha. It has similar way with mine. I just can say, "La kum dinukum wa liadim"

Every religion you choose or find yourself following is always the best of the best to you. I am Christian, and I know ours is the one and only true God-but I admire your concept of religion, religion should not be a reason to divide the world, it should be a cause for respecting differences. I like it when you say you dont redicule other faiths-If every one saw religion from your perspective, there would be no wars in the world-but here we are sas250781, killing each other in this beautiful world just because they belong to another religion-it is this handling of beliefs and religions that makes the world stink!!

It is great that you found a religion that is perfect for YOU. To be honest tho you should have made your headline that you believe your religion is best for you cause you are going to open a whole door of arguement. I am a Proud Pagan and for ME that is the perfect religion. Everyone needs to remember that just because it is right for you dosnt mean it is right for everyone.

I think everyone thinks their religion is best. I've never really cared what religion someone is or even if they are not religious at all. I think everyone should be allowed to think for themselves and practice what ever kind of religion they wish.
