The teachings of the bible are found in the teachings of The Buddha - in Dhamapada!

for me It depends what you mean by religion . . .

I practice Buddhism teachings and philosophy
you dont need to be a buddist to practice their teachings and philosophy
matud pa ni buddha
Morality + Wisdom + Meditation = Enlightenment

Oh yes its Ain soph,tnx for that , my memory failed,though i still have to dig my notes regarding the hindus you said as the brahman, cause if i may recall brahma is one of the 3 aspect of the ONE-as Brahma, vishnu,shiva. Isvara is what i can recall as the God of the huindus or maybe the parabrahman.Yes to TAo,zen & the trinity of christians.
Now i agree w/ you that there are a lot of so called religious/spiritual groups that belong to your category of BS. And sad to say using the same ancient titles to sound authentic.
Although my optimism for seeing the oneness (in essence) of every good religion is born out of the confidence that TRUTH/GOD/LOVE is the same from the infantile stage of humanity til now.
What differs is the mode of presentation fitting to the growth of man at a given time & culture.

yes yes. But then the Ein Soph(infinite) manifests itself in 10 ways - thus the tree of Sefirot. there are two kinds of Brahman, the one that you are referring to is the inferior Brahman - the one that is worship, that belongs to a category, a trinity. However there is another brahman, the Superior Brahman- that which transcends category, the ultimate reality, were all the Atman flows back.

if we are able to be enlightened we would be able to see beyond this maya (illusion) of multiplicity and we w we would realize that there is no you nor me, that all is one, and this oneness is Brahman.


at the onset, there is a problem with Buddhism as a religion, because religion itself escapes definition for now. In one sense of Buddhism it is one sense of a religion.

The problem of Buddhism as you say is actually the solution. It's a two edge sword. You cannot cross without the other. So, you discard your rational thinking and transcend time and space. MIND is the problem and the solution is NO MIND.
