Wings of Selkhet Posted November 29, 2004 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2004 When studying Buddhism, I've often encountered the assertion that is not in fact a religion but a philosophy. I'd just like to hear what some of you have to say on this matter - what distinguishes a philosophy from a religion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePortal Posted November 29, 2004 #2 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I think religion his a religion because they worship a god. philosophy as with Boudhism, his more a way of life, and the Buddha his only their teacher, not a god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
