Iβm a Buddhist. Do you regard Buddhism as a religion? Or philosophy?
I'll take it as a philosophy.
By the way, when asked to "say grace" at the beginning of a meal, I put my finders in a meditative pose, and chant, "Buddha, Buddha, bless the fooda."
Some consider it a religion, and some consider it a philosophy. What do you consider it to be David?
I use it as a philosophy. For me. Itβs like a life coach to me. When I chant nam myoho renge kyo it allows me to think about my problems and how to get through them and also set goals for my life
Academically it is one of the six World Religions
More importantly, what about you?
I see it as a philosophy
