today Buddhism has very little to do with what Buddha was teaching.
The real yoga in Buddhism has been almost lost with very few exceptions like zen Buddhism.
Just go in most of Asia country where there are Buddhists.
All they do is to go in the temple, light an incense stick pray to Buddha for material wealth or physical
health and that's it.
Nothing really to do with Buddha yoga that is why atheism in Buddhism is just a farce.
Shows me right for expecting a concise, clear answer from Rik.
Many Buddhists are atheists. That's just a fact.
Wrong again Fat.
A real Buddhist is someone who follow Buddha teachings all the rest are not Buddhists.
They call themselves Buddhists thinking that they follow Buddha teachings but they don't
that is why they can not be called real Buddhists.
We say that they are Buddhists on the ground that they go to the temple and bow their heads in
front of a Buddha statue that's it and all but in reality they are not Buddhists.
And as far as they are not real Buddhists all they say including atheism is all a load o'crap.
