[Proverb 16:25]
Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary?

Like deceived Roman Catholics, Buddhists claim and are taught that they do not worship Buddha, saying that they only “pray” to his statue. The truth of the matter (as you will see in the numerous photos on this webpage) is that Buddhists do bow in worship and praise of Buddha.
Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan!" For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’
[Matthew 4:10]
The word “worship” here is the Greek word proskuneo, meaning “to kiss, like a dog licking his master’s hand); to fawn or crouch to, that is, (literally or figuratively) prostrate oneself in homage (do reverence to, adore).” By this very definition, Roman Catholics do indeed worship statues of the Virgin Mary and Buddhists do in fact worship statues of Buddha. Both religions denounce that Mary nor Buddha are God; yet they worship these historical figures as God.
And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observec your own traditions!"
[Mark 7:9]
And [Abraham] said, "You have only taken, other than Allah , idols as [a bond of] affection among you in worldly life. Then on the Day of Resurrection you will deny one another and curse one another, and your refuge will be the Fire, and you will not have any helpers.
[Al 'Ankabuut 29:25]
Buddhism is of the Devil, teachings for doctrines the commandments of men. There are an estimated 300,000,000 followers of Buddhism around the world.
For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
[2 Timothy 4:3]
This false religion is becoming increasingly popular in America because people will not tolerate sound Biblical doctrine anymore. Buddhism does not place any absolute demands on its followers. Buddhism tolerates all other religions, does not contend for its own faith, and fits in perfectly with the New World Order's homogenous One-World religion.
You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
[Exodus 20:4-5]
You only worship, besides Allah , idols, and you produce a falsehood. Indeed, those you worship besides Allah do not possess for you [the power of] provision. So seek from Allah provision and worship Him and be grateful to Him. To Him you will be returned."
[Al 'Ankabuut 29:17]
In fact, Buddhists are worshipping devils by bowing and adoring statues of Buddha. The Bible strictly prohibits worshipping or even the act of BOWING to any image of anything.How much clearer could the Bible be? It is the sin of idolatry to praise statues and images. Those fools who claim to only pray to statues, but not to worship them, are in utter denial of the truth. Catholics commonly use the illustration of a picture of one's family that is carried around in a wallet or purse; however, I've never seen anyone praying to a photo of their loved ones. Catholics are LIARS, just as Buddhists are LIARS, just as the Devil is the father of all LIARS.
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires.He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
[John 8:44]
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
[John 14:6]
Here, from their own words, are some of the basic philosophies of Buddhism...
• What is Buddhism?
Buddhism is a religion to about 300 million people around the world. The word comes from 'budhi', 'to awaken'. It has its origins about 2,500 years ago when Siddhartha Gotama, known as the Buddha, was himself awakened (enlightened) at the age of 35.
• Is Buddhism a Religion?
To many, Buddhism goes beyond religion and is more of a philosophy or 'way of life'. It is a philosophy because philosophy 'means love of wisdom' and the Buddhist path can be summed up as:
(1) to lead a moral life,
(2) to be mindful and aware of thoughts and actions, and(3) to develop wisdom and understanding.
• How Can Buddhism Help Me?
Buddhism explains a purpose to life, it explains apparent injustice and inequality around the world, and it provides a code of practice or way of life that leads to true happiness.
• Why is Buddhism Becoming Popular?
Buddhism is becoming popular in western countries for a number of reasons, The first good reason is Buddhism has answers to many of the problems in modern materialistic societies. It also includes (for those who are interested) a deep understanding of the human mind (and natural therapies) which prominent psychologists around the world are now discovering to be both very advanced and effective.
• Who Was the Buddha?
Siddhartha Gotama was born into a royal family in Lumbini, now located in Nepal, in 563 BC. At 29, he realised that wealth and luxury did not guarantee happiness, so he explored the different teachings religions and philosophies of the day, to find the key to human happiness. After six years of study and meditation he finally found 'the middle path' and was enlightened. After enlightenment, the Buddha spent the rest of his life teaching the principles of Buddhism — called the Dhamma, or Truth — until his death at the age of 80.
• Was the Buddha a God?
He was not, nor did he claim to be. He was a man who taught a path to enlightenment from his own experience.
• Do Buddhists Worship Idols?
Buddhists sometimes pay respect to images of the Buddha, not in worship, nor to ask for favours. A statue of the Buddha with hands rested gently in its lap and a compassionate smile reminds us to strive to develop peace and love within ourselves. Bowing to the statue is an expression of gratitude for the teaching.

In other words, Buddhism is an alternative religion for people who reject Christianity. Buddhism teaches that man's suffering is caused by his own selfish cravings and dislikes, and if humanity can change its way of thinking, than NIRVANA (a peaceful state of rest and tranquility) can be achieved amidst the problems of this world. It all boils down to mind control; but this does not address the wicked heart of mankind, which the Bible says is desperately wicked and deceitful above all else.
The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?
[Jeremiah 17:9]
Indeed, those you [polytheists] call upon besides Allah are servants like you. So call upon them and let them respond to you, if you should be truthful.
[Al A'raaf 7:194]
Buddhism attempts to reform the human mind, without addressing the sinful heart that cannot be tamed. No wonder modern secular psychology gravitates towards this eastern religion. Modern psychology is rooted in humanism, evolution, atheism and heathenism. The concept of sin is not recognized. The need for a Savior, and the precious gift of eternal life offered in Christ Jesus are not recognized. Modern psychology attempts to repair the mind and heart through education, reformation and rehabilitation (or psychiatrists and all their drugs); while totally ignoring the spirit of man, which is :
As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,
[Ephesians 2:1]
Do they have feet by which they walk? Or do they have hands by which they strike? Or do they have eyes by which they see? Or do they have ears by which they hear? Say, [O Muhammad], "Call your 'partners' and then conspire against me and give me no respite.
[Al A'raaf 7:195]
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
[Hebrews 4:12]
clearly distinguishes between “the dividing asunder of soul and spirit” in man, and plainly teaches that ONLY the Word of God can accomplish this miracle. Oh that people would love the Words of God!
“I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” ( King James Bible )
[Isaiah 42:8]
Buddhism is of the Devil, satanic in origin. Buddha was just a man, a so-called “prophet” in the 6th century B.C., and founder of the Buddhist religion. Sadly, Buddha is burning in Hell this moment, having died in his sins without Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches that sacrificing to idols is synonymous with sacrificing to devils. That is to say, demons thrive on idol worship.
No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons.
[1 Corinthians 10:20]
Idol worship has always been associated with Satanism and the occult. Aleister Crowley performed many magick rituals to conjure up demons and obtain Satanic power in this world. Church of Satan founder, Anton LaVey has also written books on how to perform sex rituals and perform magick ceremonies to invoke demonic powers. Let me tell you something, I have the God of the universe watching over me as His child, a believer in Jesus Christ my Lord. If God be for me, who can be against me?
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
[1 John 4:4]
You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
[Romans 8:9]
You can keep all your devil powers and satanic glory, because it will end at the grave. Satan always pats with counterfeit money. All of Satan's apples have worms. Buddhists are very accepting and tolerant toward everything, including homosexuality. The Dalai Lama said, “The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis,” meaning that if it makes sense to you, that's all you need.
The Dalai Lama shares the same philosophy as satanist Aleister Crowley : "Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be the Whole of the Law (have it your way!)"
This is the prevailing demonic spirit in Hollywood and throughout the wicked world today... If it feels good, do it! Buddhism is a New World Order religion, occult inspired, intended to lead the masses into worship of the Antichrist when he comes. Buddhism is synonymous with New Age. The Bible is not tolerant of other religions. In fact, salvation is not found in ANY religion; but rather, in a person (The Lord Jesus Christ! You need HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS!!!)

I hear all these celebrity authors, comedians, actors, and singers blaspheming the God of the Bible, but Judgment Day is coming my friend, for all of us :
Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,
[Hebrews 9:27]
You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. 11 It is written: “ ‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.’ ” 12 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.
[Romans 14:10-12]
“What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.”
[1 Corinthians 10:19-21]
[Hud] said, "Already have defilement and anger fallen upon you from your Lord. Do you dispute with me concerning [mere] names you have named them, you and your fathers, for which Allah has not sent down any authority? Then wait; indeed, I am with you among those who wait."
[Al A'raaf 7:71]
And they assign to what they do not know a portion of that which We have provided them. By Allah , you will surely be questioned about what you used to invent.
[An Nahl 16:56]
Hollywood megastar, 81 year old Clint Eastwood says he's not into New Age, but he does believe in meditation and for that reason has always liked the Buddhism religion.
‘I was always respectful of people who were deeply religious because I always felt that if they gave themselves to it, then it had to be important to them. But if you can go through life without it, that’s OK, too. It’s whatever suits you.
‘I do believe in self-help. I’m not a New Age person but I do believe in meditation, and for that reason I’ve always liked the Buddhist religion. When I’ve been to Japan I’ve been to Buddhist temples and meditated and I found that rewarding.

Those people who idolize rock stars, worship celebrities, bow to statues, or pray to images are all committing idolatry.
You shall not make for yourself an imagei in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
[Exodus 20:4-5]
And We took the Children of Israel across the sea; then they came upon a people intent in devotion to [some] idols of theirs. They said, "O Moses, make for us a god just as they have gods." He said, "Indeed, you are a people behaving ignorantly.
[Al A'raaf 7:138]
and commands for all mankind to worship Him, for He is our Creator and is worthy of our worship, adoration love and praise. There is none like unto the God of the Bible, the God of true Israel. Buddhism is a demonic false religion rooted in the rot of humanism and human pride.
“He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.”
[Romans 8:32-34]
To ALLAH [alone] is the supplication of truth. And those they call upon besides Him do not respond to them with a thing, except as one who stretches his hands toward water [from afar, calling it] to reach his mouth, but it will not reach it [thus]. And the supplication of the disbelievers is not but in error [i.e. futility].
[Ar Ra'd 13:14]
