18 years ago I made one of the most important decisions of my life and entered a local Cambodian Buddhist Temple as a temple boy and, for only 3 weeks, an actual Therevada Buddhist monk. I am not a scholar, great meditator, or authority on Buddhism, but Buddhism is something I love from the Bottom of my heart. It has taught me sobriety, morality, peace, and very importantly that my suffering is optional, and doesn't have to run my life. I hope to give back what little I can to the Buddhist community, sincerely former monk John

Re: An Islam Christian debate.
I think you posted the wrong video? The video in the OP is a waterfront home for sale in Queensland. Did you buy the home?

Sorry guys!
I correct the mistake.

Re: An Islam Christian debate.
I listened to the video earlier today, while I was working. While the Muslim easily diminished the authenticity of the Christian texts, I found the discussion essentially worthless, because neither were discussing the path or way of life but were (impossibly) attempting to establish their prophet was from god or was god. It was a debate over the messenger instead of the message. At least I said to myself: "Thank god for the Buddha".

There is always an official executioner. If you try to take his place, It is like trying to be a master carpenter and cutting wood. If you try to cut wood like a master carpenter, you will only hurt your hand.

I have watched tons of videos about Islam and Christianity, but nothing about the teaching.
But we have to ask the question why half of the world population is Muslims and Christians.
Perhaps not having a teaching could be the attraction.
The way I understand the basic requirement is just to pray.
It is much simpler than trying to understand Anatta.

Re: An Islam Christian debate.
The thing is, the teaching is worthless if it has no authoritative source, especially when it contains so many elements which must be taken on faith (unlike buddhism). Hence the importance of establishing that the texts are as divine as possible...
