One who has knowledge in other religions can benefit in learning budda darma . Even the bible has information about vingnana and its variations explained in mahanidana sutta. Corinthian 15 ,explain about the formation of birds by vingnana. Bible too eexplain karma , with simple language , you reap what you sow. Many other types of darma is explained , but not read by the needed. However today cause and effect or paticca samuppada remains most rigid theory in life to dwell in to knowledge .SarathW wrote: ↑Thu Oct 27, 2022 3:25 am Interesting talk about his experience of faith by ven Pemasiri.
He first learns meditation from a school teacher.
His village temple monk used to print counterfeit money, used illicit drugs, and own guns.
He also talks about his mother being a Christian and how he started practicing Christianity, Hinduism, and Islam.
I had the opportunity of learning most religions comparatively by living and working in a multi religious and multinational island in the south pacific. I was subjected to be converted by many religious institutes, which made me learn buddha dharma to argue better with them.
