In part one, we talked about the essence of Christianity, now briefly about Buddhism.
Buddhists themselves agree with the characterization of Buddhism, which says that Buddhism is a religion without God worshipping a multitude of deities.
Buddhism radically rejects God, the Creator of the world. The ideal of Buddhism is the complete destruction of the world, and above all the destruction of personal existence – self-destruction. This is what mass chipping is heading towards today.
Woman, as the bearer of new life, is hated in Buddhism, which aims at the destruction of life. No religion is as hostile and dismissive of women as Buddhism. In the whole mass of its legends, Buddhism does not cease to depict woman as something abominable.
Buddhism also has a completely negative attitude towards agriculture, saying that “nothing kills insects so much as farming”.
Buddhism worships more than 30 million deities. The exception is the one God, the Creator and Saviour, whom Buddhists refuse to accept. Buddhists are both atheists and demon worshippers. The biggest paradox is the so-called interreligious meetings, where liberal Christians suggestively claim that we all have one God. This is manipulation. Yes, there is one God who created everything, but Buddhists deny Him.
In 1986, Pope John Paul II prayed with Buddhists in Assisi where the Dalai Lama was present too, who is revered as a reincarnated god.
S. M., former devotee of the Dalai Lama has given a shocking testimony about Tibetan Buddhism:
I was a Buddhist. When repeating mantra, a Buddhist is calling demons and devils into himself. The best known practice of Tibetan Buddhism, so-called Chöd, is performed in their burial places which are in fact a land of human corpses, bodies thrown to vultures. The same is done by the meditating person in his imagination; however, instead to vultures he throws pieces of flesh from his body to demons and Buddhist deities. I practised this kind of meditation in Dzogchen, the text of which is: “I sacrifice to you my body, flesh, blood clot, heart and brain, I cut off my skull and throw it all to you.”
Tibetan Buddhism is one big lie of Satan. The Dalai Lama, like the Panchen Lama or the Karmapa, are lamas who have been mediums of evil spirits since childhood. Nirvana is a great deception of a demon – an angel of light (cf. 2Cor 11:14)
Buddhism and so-called Christian Zen
Zen Buddhism originated in the seventh century. Martial arts like judo, aikido and others are based on Zen. At the beginning of intensive meditation, Zen disciples are to solve absurd riddles – koans. The purpose of Zen is to eliminate sound mind and human conscience – the voice of God in us. The whole system is based on demonic pride and deceit which exploits corrupt human nature and develops the source of evil in us – original sin. Through meditation, the soul unites to this serpent power – sin in us, and thus it unites to the spirit of lies and death – the devil (Jn 16:11).
There are insurmountable differences between Buddhism and Christianity: Christianity believes in one God the Creator, who is a personal God. Christianity views man as a being that needs salvation and is incapable of self-salvation. Buddhism, by contrast, does not believe in God as the Creator and a personal God. Furthermore, it says that man can be saved by his own efforts. It believes this salvation to be attained in so-called nirvana. But this is a great deceit.
“Redemption is said to be the understanding that all is one!” This can only be born in the heads of those who have lost the healthy sense of discerning reality, i.e. good and evil. Such philosophy results in the total disintegration of the individual and society, the loss of common sense, establishes the law of the jungle and causes hell on earth. Hell is a place for those who refused to accept the Love and the Truth, and believed in a fundamental lie about all being one. Once their eyes are opened there, it will be too late.
What does redemption mean to a Christian? “God has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” (Col 1:13-14) So it is God who has delivered – redeemed us, and not the false way of Zen Buddhist meditations. In Him – that means in Christ – we have redemption and the forgiveness of sins, and in no one or nothing else! Nirvana is a demonic deceit. Behind the false enlightenment in Buddhism is an angel of light – Lucifer!!!
Buddhism does not accept the truth about God the Creator, and rejects Jesus as the Saviour. Through myths of karma, reincarnation and nirvana it releases man from moral responsibility and gives him false hope for other forms of life (animals, birds, reptiles, insects). However, after death one will take either eternal reward or eternal punishment. Reincarnation denies the fundamental truths of Christianity: a personal God, an immortal soul, sin, Jesus as the Redeemer, heaven, hell.
Martial arts: Today we are witnessing the most massive mission of Buddhism in formerly Christian territories. There is not a single city now where martial arts would not be popularized. Martial arts are far from a normal sport. They are associated with Buddhist meditations which lead Christians to apostasy from Christ. Mass popularization started about 50 years ago through films, literature and exhibitions.
Occult practices: divination and magic. These include for example so-called I Ching divination, Chinese Zodiac horoscopes etc.
Magical healing: Acupuncture, acupressure and Chinese massages stem from the theory of so-called positive and negative energies, yin and yang, and so-called meridians.
Bonsai is a form of occult garden decoration. It is believed that the spirits of deceased ancestors live in bonsai.
Chinese art: Chinese dragons, symbols of demons in tapestry or on porcelain, tattoos of dragons and occult symbols on the body, Buddha statues, joss sticks, Tibetan bells, Feng Shui – so-called home decoration with frogs, turtles, elephants, etc., which are believed to have magic power. All this has occult roots and today becomes a part of life for uninformed Christians.
Teahouses: They may be found in almost every town. Many of the teas have a narcotic effect and cause addiction. Tea drinking is connected with a certain occult ritual, or with meditation.
Catholic theologians lull Christian conscience to sleep by deceptive phrases. Many Catholic monks have replaced true mission with anti-mission – the Church becomes open to Buddhism (e.g. Xavierians in Italy, Benedictines, Jesuits…).
In 1998, a Burmese Buddhist monk died in Myanmar. Hundreds of monks and relatives of the dead man attended the funeral. Just as the body was about to be burned, the dead monk suddenly sat up, shouting: “It’s a lie! I saw Buddha and many other Buddhist holy men. They were all in a sea of fire!”
The monk continued emphatically: “We must listen to the Christians; they’re the only ones who know the Truth!” The events shocked the whole region. Over 300 Buddhist monks became Christians and started to study the Bible. The resurrected man continued to warn everyone to believe in Jesus Christ, because He is the only true God. Soon after that, the monk went missing.
Seven contrasts between Christianity and Buddhism
The false teachings of Buddhism keep millions of souls in darkness and drag them to temporal and eternal destruction. Behind the whole deceitful system is not the Spirit of truth and life, but the spirit of lies and death. Millions of souls yearn for truth and salvation. The Second Vatican Council, however, with the Nostra Aetate declaration, de facto abolished the mission and opened the door to a suicidal anti-mission called interreligious dialogue. The prelates must therefore repent and call the Second Vatican Council for what it really was and is, i.e. heretical. The clergy must renounce the heresy of Modernism, which has poisoned the Church through the historical-critical method. Only then can they restore the true relationship to God and begin internal re-evangelization. Through the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit, they can begin a saving mission across the regions that are under the sway of Buddhism and Hinduism. Those who will receive Jesus Christ, the only Saviour, will receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life.
