neo-pagan a community of faiths bringing ancient pagan and magickal traditions to the modern age -- including mostly wicca but also druidism, asatru, shamanism, neo-native american, etc. neo-pagan is an umbrella term for various and diverse beliefs with many elements in common. some neo-pagans find no incongruence practicing neo-paganism along with adherence to another faith, such as christianity or judaism.

mahayana buddhism includes diverse beliefs, various sects, schools, and trends. main mahayana sects include pure land and zen. vajrayana or tantric buddhism is often considered a separate branch. we focus here on some of the traditional elements of mahayana buddhism.

belief in deity: both theravada and mahayana buddhism posit no creator or ruler god. however, deity belief is present in the mahayana doctrine of the three bodies (forms) of buddha: (1) body of essence -- the indescribable, impersonal absolute reality, or ultimate truth which is nirvana (infinite bliss); (2)body of bliss or enjoyment -- buddha as divine, deity, formless, celestial spirit with saving power of grace, omnipotence, omniscience; and (3) body of transformation or emanation -- an illusion or emanation in human form provided by the divine buddha to guide humans to enlightenment. any person can potentially achieve buddhahood, transcending personality and becoming one with the impersonal ultimate reality, which is infinite bliss (nirvana). there are countless buddhas presiding over countless universes. bodhisattvas, humans and celestial spirits who sacrifice their imminent liberation (buddhahood) to help all others to become liberated, are revered or worshipped as gods or saints by some.
incarnations: the historic buddha, the person siddartha gautama, is considered by many as an emanation or illusion of the highest power (which is also called buddha). many believe there have been countless buddhas on earth.
origins of universe/life: no creator god. all matter is illusion or manifestation of the ultimate reality. generally mahayana buddhist beliefs don't find modern scientific discoveries contradictory to buddhist thought.
after death: after death: there is no transmigration of individual souls, but through the law of karma, one's wholesome or unwholesome intentions become imprinted in the mind. negative mental states persist through continual rebirth until one's intentions become wholesome. once fully enlightened, one is liberated from rebirths, reaching a state of absolute selflessness resulting in ultimate bliss called nirvana--the "deathless state". one becomes buddha (or one with buddha). some buddhists, especially modern western, don't emphasize or believe in literal rebirth.
why evil? people have freewill to commit wrongs. evil results as cravings, attachments and ignorance accumulate through perpetual rebirths, thus perpetuating greed, hatred, violence.
salvation: the goal is enlightenment, leading to nirvana, liberation from cycles of rebirth and suffering, which is life. all are already endowed with buddha nature, but need to come to fully realize that only the ultimate reality (the great "void" or "emptiness") is real (or nonconditional) and permanent. the four noble truths and eight-fold path show the way, along with worship of the essential buddha. one must work to extinguish self: all worldly cravings, desires, and attachments, through loving kindness, compassion, charity, moral conduct, wisdom and meditation. renouncing worldly possessions and goals is not necessary for the laity, if balanced. buddha taught the middle path, moderation. human and spirit world bodhisattvas are sought for help in gaining enlightenment. pure land mahayana buddhists aim to find a place of eternal nirvana in a paradisical pure land, attainable by calling out the name of the buddha ruler of the pure land.
undeserved suffering: suffering is inherent in life. suffering results from this and past life greed, hatred, and ignorance, which, unless mitigated, returns as suffering (karma). intense suffering may be viewed as the release of karma, hastening one's liberation. suffering is illusion or ignorance of one's true nature as buddha -- the blissful "void."
contemporary issues: abortion is considered murder, and all violent acts cause horrific karmic consequence. homosexuality in itself is not specifically condemned by scripture, but opinions vary, especially among various buddhist cultures -- e.g. usa buddhists are generally very accepting while asian buddhists are generally strongly opposed to homosexuality. it is believed that divorce wouldn't occur if one follows buddhist precepts, but a couple is not condemned if they separate due to vast personal differences. gender roles are generally traditional (e.g. woman as child caretakers and men as providers), but less rigid as contemporary demands are made on women (e.g. working women). nonviolence and non-injury to other life forms and to the environment are fundamental.

oh, en ik kan me er helemaal in vinden!

new thought!

quote:

---

- new thought an umbrella term for diverse beliefs that emphasize experiencing god's presence for practical purposes, such as healing and success. examples include unity, religious science, and divine science

- belief in deity: there exists one god -- universal mind, creative intelligence, omnipresent --- principle (not a being), impersonal force which manifests itself personally, perfectly, and equally within all.

- incarnations: no particular incarnations, as god is within all equally. some believe jesus was exemplary of someone who fully realized his divine nature, and therefore is the wayshower (shows the way).

- origins of universe/life: the universe and all within it are expressions of god - the creative intelligence - with no beginning and no end.

- after death: some believe in continual rebirth as a gift from god so that all may become immortal, as was jesus christ, with each lifetime a preparation for the next. others believe the individual soul merges with the universal spirit after death.

- why evil? no original sin and no satan and no evil. people make mistakes due to ignorance of one's true nature as perfect mind and love, which is god.

- salvation: salvation lies in the realization of oneness with the impersonal life force, thus unlocking ones healing potential. licensed practitioners counsel on spiritual healing for problems of the mind, body, and life. some believe jesus is the wayshower to salvation. some believe that all, regardless of actions, will be saved by the grace of a loving and forgiving god. most believe that spiritual awareness of gods omnipresence, that god is all and all are god, leads to personal and humanitys salvation. many believe that repeated reincarnations are gods gift, each lifetime a preparation for the next, until perfection is reached, which is god.

- undeserved suffering: suffering results from ignorance of one's true nature as perfect mind and ceases with complete realization that we all are one with god, the universal mind. one can heal personal suffering through new thought practices, often with the assistance of new thought practitioners.

theravada buddhism
-belief in deity: the concept of a supreme, creator god is rejected or at least considered irrelevant to theravada buddhism. buddha, "the awakened one," is revered above all -- not as "god" but as supreme sage, model of a fully enlightened person. many buddhists hold that there is a spirit world with gods in the heavens, but gods are not supreme and are subject to rebirth, while only humans have the potential to attain enlightenment and reach nirvana (eternal bliss), free from rebirth. -incarnations: buddha was a human, a fully enlightened spiritual teacher and inspiration. as there no belief in or relevance to god, there are no incarnations of god worshipped.
-origins of universe/life: buddhists consider it the job of scientists to explain origins of the universe and life. many maintain that the world creates and recreates itself millions of times every fraction of a second, but there is no contradiction with scientific discovery. questions of origins are considered irrelevant to the goal of enlightenment.
-after death: there is no transmigration of individual souls, but through the law of karma, one's wholesome or unwholesome intentions become imprinted in the mind. negative mental states persist through continual rebirth until one's intentions become wholesome. once fully enlightened, one is liberated from rebirths, reaching a state of absolute selflessness resulting in ultimate bliss called nirvana--the "deathless state". one becomes buddha (or one with buddha). some buddhists, especially modern western, don't emphasize or believe in literal rebirth. belief in literal rebirth is not essential to the practice of buddhism.
-why evil? people have free will to commit wrongs or rights. evil doings may result when egoism, cravings, attachments and ignorance are expressed as greed, hatred, violence which, if unmitigated, is perpetuated through rebirth.
-salvation: enlightenment is an individual journey to nirvana (complete bliss), liberation from suffering and cycles of rebirth, by following the four noble truths and eight-fold path. to eliminate karma, which causes rebirth, one must extinguish self: all cravings, desires, and attachments. the path to enlightenment includes loving kindness and compassion, moral conduct, charity, wisdom, and meditation. attaining unnecessary worldly possessions and over-indulgence causes karma to accumulate.
-undeserved suffering: suffering is inherent in life, and the cessation of suffering is the primary goal of buddhism - to reach nirvana, to end cycles of rebirth. suffering is a result of past-life greed, hatred, and ignorance that has returned suffering (karma). compassion toward others who suffer reduces the effects of karma.
-contemporary issues: abortion is generally considered murder, and all violent acts cause horrific karmic consequence. homosexuality in itself is not specifically condemned by scripture, but opinions vary, especially among various buddhist cultures -- e.g. usa buddhists are generally very accepting while asian buddhists are generally strongly opposed to homosexuality. it is believed that divorce wouldn't occur if one follows buddhist precepts, but a couple is not condemned if they separate due to vast personal differences. gender roles are generally traditional (e.g. woman as child caretakers and men as providers), but less rigid as contemporary demands are made on women (e.g. working women). nonviolence and non-injury to other life forms and to the environment are fundamental.
