I think a lot of praying is to do with the next life? Personally I try to concentrate on my current life. If I stuff something up, hopefully I learn from it rather than read a buddha book and then go and do exactly the same thing. Merit, like sex during a dry period, is terribly over-rated.???????? 1

Seems you have misunderstood such things as temple visits and have transferred your understanding of what that would mean with Christianity onto Buddhism. More often than not people will visit temples or shrines to ask for something (good luck in exams or finding a boyfriend etc). It rarely has much to do with piety. Hence you never see congregations and people preaching (Buddhist monks don't seek to lecture people)

In my home country, USA, we are a deeply, proud Christian country. Thank God we have no murders or gun violence.

Pla Simon Posted November 21, 2022 Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) Such life changing news. So many unanswered questions. So the catcaller went from meow to mai-ow to just 'ow' rather swiftly. Was the assailant a Tom ? Will there be Littergation ? Both a couple of pussies, by the sound of it. Edited November 21, 2022 by Pla Simon 2

All religions are silly, and how people practice at the retail level has almost no connection to the wholesale teachings, which are there to give false promises of happiness or peace or contentment...all with a silly and usually plagiarized tale of a made-up reality. People are going to be people...everywhere....no matter the country, no matter the predominant faith. The behavior noted in this thread happens everywhere. Nobody needed any religion to teach them how to live a decent life. If anyone reached adulthood and did not inherently know certain behaviors (e.g., murder, theft, rape, etc.) are bad and mess up a wannabe civilized society, then that person is wildly flawed, and no amount of preaching or proselytizing is going to straighten him out. Moses did not come down from the mountain after chiseling out his tablets and say, "Sorry guys, got some bad news...murder is a no no". Most religions are also just a thin coating of some charlatan's or crazy guy's philosophy over more deeply held superstitions. Note how little the teachings of the founder of this country's major faith have to do with how people here actually live. The old myths, rituals, superstitions, etc. are much stronger. Magic amulets, tattoos, making 'merit' by releasing fish somebody else caught, thinking donated money comes back 1000 fold.... Organized religion is just a way for those lacking any useful skill to have a job. Hence preachers, pastors, monks, rabbis, priests, shaman, etc. The scam is taken to its zenith by the "Prosperity Gospel" preachers in the US, or guys who 'need a Gulfstream so I can spread the lord's word faster'. 1 1
