A- Open Thread :
Buddha was born as a major causal: Opening enlightened beings enter the Buddhist knowledge.
The words everyday for the past superficial things, "Truth always good." That statement, or as a courtesy to please customers, or because of unknown surface in how the different islands, so like new. Indeed, the purpose of any religion is well worth it, nothing more than another step higher on low only. But no matter how well-intentioned, is not enough. The important thing is how to accomplish that goal, and bring large benefits for life. Try asking if any director has equal value, then why 2500 years ago, in the land at 94 th Indian had directed it, that Shakyamuni Buddha was spending Christmas as well?
Nothing much but the Truth, that is not the whole "feet, good, fine", so the new Buddha manifested itself, being taught religion Supreme supreme Buddha, so that liberation from suffering rebirth , be very afraid as the Buddha himself. The Lotus Sutra says, "As a major causal, Buddha was born emergent".
What's great karmic? It is: "Opening the enlightened beings enter Buddhist knowledge", to be beings so that waiting until she realized that nature silk, beyond life from death, be fun-suffering.

1. What is mainstream ? Thoughtful has three meanings: Truth is the way; Path duty; Truth is absolute nature, as nature.
a) Path is the path, as it is often used in the text: humanitarian, disaster director, director of hell, hungry ghosts director, directed the animal. In every way it can be good, bad, be good, evil, etc. ... According to Buddhism, also in the dualistic h, it can not ultimately call entirely.
b) Path is the duty , as people often use the words: I directed king, leading teachers, spouses etc. ... Every religion is a duty often influenced by customs or practices. Customs and traditions of this country unlike other countries. So mainstream is also not true to duty means that the Buddha thoughtful to say.
c) * Path is the absolute reason, is the the A, it left speaking, inconceivable. Lord Lao Zi said: "Truth that comes out, not the director." Once upon a Patriarchs who asked: "What is Truth?". Sensei replied: "First of Buddha Dread Music United, not named Buddha and sentient beings, then is Truth".
Mainstream of Buddhism is synonymous with being so.
2. The word Buddha mean? Buddhas, strictly speaking Sanskrit is Bouddha (of the Buddha). The Chinese translation means enlightened, (annoyed enlightened, wise entirely). Sensory three angry:

The practice of Theravada can not be forgiven sense, because the only worry for their deliverance. Only people who practice the Mahayana newly acquired sense of forgiveness, meaning enlightenment for all sentient beings are immersed.
C) Sensory happy consummation: That is absolutely full enlightenment for themselves and others. The Bodhisattvas, enlightened but for ourselves and others, but not the fullness of happiness, should not be referred to as "Man Giac Vien Giac Hanh". * Only new Buddha called Sensory Perfection Hanh.
The word Buddha is a generic term to call these steps voluntarily, feeling eager and happy feeling fullness, rather than a proper noun to call a certain person. Who is certified to practice as mentioned above results are known as the Buddha.
3. What is Buddhism?

The reason for their doctrines divided into Mahayana and Theravada that, as radical and heterogeneous expectations beings together. The class who find themselves just enough to release his own share only, as small car carrying several people, then according to Theravada doctrine.
The class who has seen himself can both liberate ourselves and others out of existence, and who voluntarily his degree and went to Nirvana, as a large wagon, and transported in a time much man, according to Mahayana.
