Hinduism did not spread because they did not send any such missionaries to the other countries.
How true is it. Hinduism is surely the sole religion which never searched to convert people by missionaries and invasions unlikely the 'monotheist' religions !
Buddhism even reached Japan ! And this due to the missionaries ! It seems that someone had something to show to others, that their religion is better ! (By the way all invaders thought like this)
Hindus are very tolerant (Not all !) ! And i admire them for this, they respect other's beliefs and don't try to convert others to their religion ! Is it not a proof of their reputed tolerance ?

| Kural, did i say there were no bad sinhalese? no, i said on average, i've found them to be better. This is my last word on the matter. Go and find yourslef the differences if you cannot understand, and there's no need for name calling. As for my other question: why are some buddhsit monks attacvking churches? and why do many sinhalese buddhsit want to only marry with other buddhists? any other know why? |

Shelley,
The monks who burn churches are bad. Like the monks who burn Norwegian flags. In my sense they participate negatively to the politic.
They give a very negative image of the religion they want to represent. Tolerance and non-violence..
But the most 'rotten' are the priests pedophile, and unfortunately many cases were reported on this 'paradise'.
no, i said on average, i've found them to be better.
shelley be careful,the Maya will always make you feel an illusion as the reality..
Don't trust what you only saw or experimented..
Illusion is the effect of a permanent energy (called Maya by Hindus) who transform the true reality.. It's learned in Hinduism..
And it's proved by SCIENCE.
Demonstration :
-1.The light speed is LIMITED at 300'000km/s.
-2.So the light take a certain time to reach a spot.
-3.The consequence is that more far you look the horizon more far you look in the time !!
So finally what you look is an illusion.. #

| Yes, but why are the buddhsit monks attacking churches? someone told me it was b/c the christians are spreading christianity. if that's ture, why are they against christianity? I seriously want to know. Buddhism is a nice religion, so why do this stuff? And why Do many sinhalese buddhists want to marry only other sinhalese buddhsits? |

Shelley,
The marriage among the same religious community is a very common practice. It's not only the case among of the Sinhala Buddhists.. It's a general observable fact among all communities..
But what i'm sure is that not all Sinhalas Buddhists marry only Sinhala Buddhists !
You see shelley what you thought to know is in fact an illusion..
Yes, but why are the buddhsit monks attacking churches? someone told me it was b/c the christians are spreading christianity. if that's ture, why are they against christianity?
I don't know why. But it is surely maybe the expression of a certain form of intolerance..

Never did I say ALL sinhala Buddhists marry only otehr sinhala buddhists. My question was: Why do A LOT of sinhala buddhsits want to marry only other sinhala buddhsits? I couldn't get that.
also, they're attacking churches is bad, but why are they also agaisnt missionaries spreading christianity? |

Sorry for the misunderstanding shelley.
Because more and more sinhalas convert into christianism , and the fanatics don't like these conversions, so i guess they burn churches in return.
Why do A LOT of sinhala buddhsits want to marry only other sinhala buddhsits?
It seems to be a natural fact for me..

Dear kural, it's okay, you're forgiven for misunderstanding. I also meant that i've had bad experiences with indians, and so i've a right to express them, don't I?
also, what did you mean by when you said 'it seems to be natural fact for me?' Perosnally, i know a lot of people mary within your own religion, and i think it's better, for spouses, and the kids. what if one of you decided to become religious later on? also, in stuff like naming the baby, clelbrating holidays, etc, it causes a lot of problems for the family and the in-laws. Moreover, often the female has to literally be the slave to the man to keep him happy, like converting, etc., and it denies the chidlren their true knowledge, and one community doesn't accpet the kids, and neither does the other. Sometimes, it's better to live alone than to marry into another culture just for the sake of marriage. Many peopel aren't very tolerant of other people's relgions, so it's better to live alone than to settle. I think so. makes sense?
also, you sinhalas are 'lion people' no? |
