Differences In The Two Observational Methods

Why do we have so many different worldviews today? This has something to do with the different ways we use to observe the world. The East and the West observe the world in different manners and from different perspectives. We thus have different categories of philosophy. They share similarities, while there are huge differences between them.

The Impact of Materialism

Many regard Materialism as the mainstream, correct worldview. However, materialists cannot, both theoretically and in practice, prove their statement of “matter is the fundamental substance of the world in nature, and that spirit is the result of material interactions.” It is just a hypothesis. There has not been a single mathematical formula or physics equation out there that came to the conclusion that the world is made up of matter. This hypothesis cannot be proved by the direct valid cognition.

Buddhism Is More Than A Spiritual Comfort Zone

Buddhism is more than burning the incense or saying your prayers. You cannot just offer two bananas to the Buddha, and then ask for a luxury car in return; or after you make your offerings, you thought that the undesired would not come to bother you at all; or after you commit sin, you can clear it out just by merely making your confession to the Buddha;

BUDDHISM

Why are you not created by God? Neither is the world?

Buddhism states that the mind changes as well, so it does not stand up for the tag of "one"; this is exactly why it transforms. This is how Buddhism views the universe. If there is an inherent "one" out there independent of the mind, no matter if it is the spirit or matter, as long as it remains unchanged, there is no way that it could interact with us at all. Logically and cognitively, it does not make any sense.

Yes, There Is Rebirth

If one fails to eliminate attachment and ego-clinging and to attain Arahatship, afflictions and habitual tendencies stemming from the notion of "I" and "mine" are connected to the mind that functions at the moment of death, which will inevitably bring forth the mind that causes the next transmigratory existence to happen.

Buddhism Is Not Subjective Idealism

Buddhism cannot be regarded as one of the three categories at all, because they are not inclusive enough. To make a further clarification, Buddhism is not even a religion, nor a science, nor a culture, nor an art, nor a philosophy. It has nothing to do with politics either.
