I think if I weren't Muslim, I would be Buddhist. It just seems like a peaceful religion. So sad that it is declining. One always feels obliged to help, but when it involves religion, all we can do is be helpless. It isn't poverty where you can donate or an epidemic which you can cure. It's a declining religion. What can we do? Forget our own? Then there's that guilt when belonging to a different religion.
"Oh I would help if I could."
Is that blasphemy? Are we straying from our beliefs to want to wish other religions better?
I'm at such a loss at this one. Buddhism has been around Japan for a very long time and I'm very sorry and regretful I can't side on the topic.
