Default Buddhists Steal Easter! - 04-08-2012, 05:26 AM

THIS is outrageous! How can the buddhists get away with stealing Easter away from Christians and calling it "buddha's birthday"??!!

Quote:
Buddhapalooza celebrates Buddha's birthday with sacred music, ceremonies and cake

The Zen Group of Chattanooga is celebrating the Buddha's birthday, and everyone is invited.

Buddhapalooza will take place on Saturday at the Barking Legs Theater, featuring performances, talks and meditation practices from three Buddhists traditions.

The day will also feature performances of sacred music, poets and plays based on Buddhist thought.

Organizers say attendees will be able to see and hear how Buddhism has influenced artists and others who are not necessarily practitioners.

The event is open to everyone from the casually curious to regular practitioners and is designed to present basic concepts in a nonthreatening way. A $7 suggested donation will be accepted at the event, but no one will be turned away.

"This is a way for people to explore some of the aspects of Buddhism without having to commit to a two-hour [meditation]," Janis Hashe, spokesperson for the group, said.

The day will begin with a traditional Japanese ceremony marking the Buddha's birth called Hanamatsuri and will close with a simple birthday cake complete with candles.

During Hanamatsuri, Hashe said whoever is present for the ceremony can participate by bringing garden flowers, which will be placed around a representation of a baby Buddha. Everyone then walks past the baby and pours water over it. According to an ancient legend, "sweet dew rained down from the sky to bathe the newborn prince," and the poured water is a symbol of the rain.

After the brief ceremony, the first of several short teachings, or "Dharma," talks with Shokai Steve Hart from the Atlanta Zen Center will be presented. Later, there will be a reading of Alan Ginsberg's "America" as well as meditation instruction and 15-minute group meditations. The "Tara Mandala Sangha," or community, will present sacred music and chanting. A reading of Buddhist-inspired poems and a short play will also be a part of the birthday celebration.

Throughout Asia, different countries recognize various dates in the year as the birthday of the Siddhattha Gotama, whose teachings are the foundation of Buddhism. Celebration traditions vary as well.

For the Zen Buddhists, who are hosting the event in Chattanooga and follow Japanese traditions, April 8 is the date widely accepted. Because that day falls on the same day as Easter Sunday in the Christian religion, the group decided to celebrate the day before.

"It is normal for Buddhists to celebrate other traditions. So we decided to have it on the 7th so people could celebrate both," Hashe said.

Hashe and the Zen Group of Chattanooga meet weekly on Sunday afternoons at ClearSpring Yoga from noon until 2 p.m. The group is a satellite center of the Atlanta Zen Center.

Plan to go
What: Buddhapalooza
When: Saturday, April 7, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
Where: Barking Legs Theater
How much: $7 suggested donation

Easter doesn't fall on the same date each year - the date is determined by the lunar calendar used by early Pagans, and follows the vernal equinox. Birthdays do fall on the same date each year. So how exactly are the Buddhists "stealing" anything from you?

In simple misconceptions is the ignorance of the unsaved shown.

Buddhists constantly steal from Baby Jesus every time they draw a breath that isn't inspired by the blood of Christ.

However, it's becoming more and more obvious you are an apologist for Wiccans and other made up pagan nonsense so I guess we're in for another typical tirade of feminist drivel and woo woo crystal healing garbage.



Isaiah 34:6 The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.

John 5:46,47 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

How does stating a simple fact about calendars make me an apologist for anyone?

Wasn't me who brought pagans into it. Why sully God's calendar which started with Jesus?

"God's calendar" (aka the solar calendar) isn't the basis for determining the date of Easter each year. The lunar calendar is. The lunar calendar was the one used by Pagans before the adoption of the solar calendar. Why can't you people simply pick a date for your holy day, and stick with it?

Why do they make such a big deal over an obese Chinaman who couldn't even tie his bathrobe shut? The Buddha may not even have ever lived, and even if he did, scholars cannot agree on the details of his life or the years of his birth and death. As Buddhism has developed, followers have added conflicting stories of his life and conflicting interpretations of his teachings. Most importantly, the "four noble truths" of Buddhism are based on metaphysical woo that is completely unfalsifiable. Of course, we True Christians™ will have none of such nonsense.


This church is dedicated to preaching True Christianity™ and the King James Bible exactly as they are, with no alterations to make them more politically correct for modern liberals. If you think that we've misquoted or twisted Scripture or quoted any verse out of context, please explain in detail how we've done so. Otherwise, if what you read on this site offends you, then you're offended by Almighty God and His Word, not by us.
