They are two very different goals.Two different ideas of paradise, same goal, different ad copy. To you, the difference means something, and so a comparison blindisdes you. To me, the difference means nothing, so I see them both for what they are.
Quote:There is no "Kingdom" for a BuddhistOf course there is, you just explained it, Nirvana. Nirvana is the carrot for which you live your life as a buddhist, as heaven is the carrot for which christians live theirs. You're both told that the way to get this carrot is to cease clinging to this world. It's not that difficult to understand........even if it -is- difficult to understand why either of you bought into it. "Heaven" is, effectively, the christian term for "Nirvana". The wife, in this example, is just another attachment preventing a person from achieving nirvana. Help clear that up for you, or are you committed to "not understanding" those silly beliefs which you share with other silly believers?
I have more groundbreaking news for you, both faiths make those same promises about the "next life"....because they are incapable of delivering in this one.
