MAHABALA:
why the buddhism has caste system?
You don't know anything about Buddhism. Buddhism does not have caste system.
Buddha Gave monkhood to a prince and his team. He first gave the monk hood to the barber and got prince and everybody to kneel infront of him before giving them the monkhood.
That caste system is not even from Hinduism. It is related to Muslims and not even islam. First Read.
It is one of those days ?. You are angry ?. |

Have you seen the Poor Tamil Bothal Paththra Karayos in Sri lanka, and Tamil Toilet cleaners. Now why did they become so filthy like that. You cant go close to them
They sacrificed them & their lives to keep SL clean & keep the filthy sinhalese clean |

AnuD/Ananda98:
You are misleading. You have all temples divided according to caste.
1. Umbrella and Thalattha is divided according to caste.
2. the color of Monks cloths are divided according to the caste system.
3. You both are not really Lankans or Buddhists I believe.
You both lost credibility talk on behalf of Buddhists.
hu------hhhhhhuuuuuuu ::::))))

Mahabala, and Ragunathan, Captain98,
You all are in denial !
It is a fact that poor tamils who were Victimised by 35yaers of Phoney LTTE war , dont even have a place to take a shower.
Do you know in an average 40 Tamils use 1 Bathroom in LTTE controlled areas....
So If Tamils Stink ! That is not the fault of those innocent poor Tamils !
It is the Idiots of LTTE !
Non of us are in denial. You are the people who cannot understand this.
If you want to get rid the issue, address the Tamil concerns.
Your leadership do not have any interlectuals. That is why the issue is hang around! |

Cast system was created by unenlightened monks of SL. But Buddhism in pure sense does not have a cast system. That's also one reason Buddhism became so popular in India where people were sick of the caste system. |

MB:
1. Umbrella and Thalattha is divided according to caste.
That is not what Buddha preached. If Monks followed and taught what exactly buddha taught, there is no way we have communal unrest in SriLanka today.
Think, at one time, TamilNAdu was completely buddhist, Sri Lanka Was completley buddhist. then we could have got together and make country out of that. |

| Cast system was not created by monks. It is something we got from India. Cast system existed in India for long before monks existed in SL. |

Bluewaters:
We no not the explanation of current practice from Real buddhism because we are suffering from current buddhist practice in Lanka.
Your monks cannot talk Tamils for Tamil people.
Did you ever try to make a monk from Tamil community.
That is because you completely neglected Tamils in Lanka. |

Mahabala, have you read what I wrote, I do not think so. I told you that every religion, philosophy has gone under different stages and you could not expect things to remain same for ever. That is what even Buddha said, you need to read with a sense.
Buddha said you could not wash your foot in a river twice, bcs everything changes.
Find a single word Buddha said in favour of caste system or racism, I challenge you.
Have you heard about Sopaka, I am not going to tell you the story, but that shows how Buddha treat people equally. That is only a one story. |
