| "張老師你好: Sorry I don’t know how to type Chinese (yet) ;-p I read and enjoyed several of your books very much. I ordered「千古騙局 業報輪迴」and am still waiting for them to arrive, before my reading report. I read the many comments with great interest, and it seems that many points are quite consistent with non-religious original Vedic teachings. Through some coincidence, I read a book “Yartharth Geeta” (meaning the Geeta in its true perspective, which can be freely downloaded at <!-- m --><a class=""postlink"" href=""http://www.yatharthgeeta.com/"">http://www.yatharthgeeta.com/</a><!-- m --> in many language translations including English and Chinese(Simplified)). As I understood from such teaching: (Bhagwad Geeta is one of the few uncorrupted ancient teachings, it recorded the dialogue between Lord Krishna , a Yogi teacher, and prince Arjuna, his disciple, on the true way toward spiritual enlightenment, that occurred ~5200 years ago) 1. gods are created by human with attachment and are false, only Creator is true. 2. enlightened beings (such as Lord Krishna, and many before him and many after him) achieved and can achieve re-union at various levels with Creator. 3. most/all religions rituals and dogmas are created by human with attachment and are false. the original teachings of many enlightened beings (such as Lord Krishna and Lord Buddha, and others, who were non-religious spiritual seekers) were distorted grossly by later “disciples” who formed the many religions and the many sects within religions. We need to seek their original teachings, and not from the organized religions. 4. the gravest errors in Hinduism are Caste system (which were stages of spiritual development based on individual merits, and not hereditary), the creation of many gods and rituals that are all false, and Vedic traditions were not originally carried by invading Aryans (Arya means spiritually-achieved person; and this term was later “hijacked” by the invader/ruling class as justification for creating the Caste-system and the Hindu-religion). 5. Lord Buddha (as well as earlier Jain religion’s founder) attempted to reform Hindu-religion to remove all its falsehood. But very similar errors occurred with the rise of Buddhism, such as “no-idol-worship” from Lord Buddha himself turned into so many Buddhas, Buddhisavas, Arahans, gods, ghosts, …, and so many temples with glorified idols in his name! what an irony! 6. Karma is incurred only within oneself (and not with or by others), and enlightenment is possible only when all attachments (including attachment to enlightenment itself) are eradicated, Would like to know your opinion and comments comparing to your viewpoints. 謝謝!
