if everything on earth can be laugh at ...why cant we laugh at religion ? what so special about religion ? if theres no buddhisum then theres no such mistakes made by buddhist . its not only about 放生 that pissed me off . its about the negative teaching in buddhisum that pisses me off . its say that no matter how rich you are end of the day when you die , you die with nothing . of course this statement is true but buddhisum seems to encourage ppl to give up everything and follow their teaching . come on we only live life once , we work hard we make money because we want to live fullest in life , because we want to give our family a better life . i have been to tibet , the temple is made of gold but the ppl there are living in proverty , everyday just pray to their buddha ..happy liao . its so sad to see that kind of stuff and mentality of ppl over there ..its make you wonder ...does religion really good ? does it control your brain to stop you from doing many things ?

actually that is not true in buddhism teaching bro. what u read is meant for monks, for lay disciples there are separate set of teaching. when u read the original u must read the intro setting, who is it meant for and who are the audience.
