For some reason God keeps bringing up in my thoughts the issue of different religions, so I think I have to share this with you. These days I had the opportunity to talk with many about faith and God. And I was shocked how many people believe and follow someone who they don't even know. And they don't even know why to follow that someone.
Many of those I talked to said they were Buddhists and they go their own way. I don't know the readers of this blog, but probably there are some who got here accidentally. It's also possible that also you've flirted with the idea of Buddhism.
If it's true for you, listen; the following lines are for you.
Do you want to know the reason why Christianity and Buddhism are so different that you cannot even compare them? Let me tell you the biggest difference:
Unlike Jesus, Buddha will NEVER say I love you!
Do you understand this?
You can do anything, he would never say to you that he loves you.
In fact, he will never love you. You can cut your hair bald, you can walk around in funny orange clothes, you can be vegetarian, you can draw a red dot between your eyes, you can meditate or even levitate all day cross-legged, but with all this you will never achieve that he would feel anything about you. Why? Because he is already dead.
Do you know how they call such a relationship in which regardless how hard you try to get accepted, the other person won't even say to you it's all right.
They call this a selfish relationship.
You might have been thinking so far that all the Buddha statues are smiling because he is full of goodness and joy? Well, no.
How can you still not see he is laughing at you? How can you not see that even he laughs at you that you made a clown of yourself in order to measure up to a dead person? Do you get this???
Listen, for your sake you better don't want to live in a selfish relationship. Especially not with a dead person, nooo!
And let me tell you also that Jesus is not like this. He loves this world. He loves people. He loves you. He accepts you just as you are. You don't need to do anything in order to be loved and accepted by Him. You don't have to crumble rosary and murmur credo to make Him pay attention to you.
Have you ever thought about why He died on the cross for the people? Have you ever thought about why He let get caught, bind, humiliated spit at and eventually killed?
Can I tell you? Because He loved you so much that He wants to set you free from sin, fear and pain with this sacrifice.
Do you know how they call when someone loves without any expectation even if the other one doesn't deserve it? They call it unconditional love. Jesus loved you with such love. And as he rose from the dead, he still loves you unconditionally.
