      Question: How should I place my faith on any religion? How could I lead a spiritual life?

      Answer: Don't have faith in Buddhism; don't have faith in Christianity, don't have faith in Religion. Have faith in Goodness, in Virtue, in Compassion. That's more important. And by showing goodness, virtue, compassion, you are leading a spiritual life.

      This was from the Q&A session during the talk given by Ven. Ajahn Brahm at Bright Hill Monastery yesterday.

      Yup!

      The Kalama Sutta is a must read regarding on faith: http://www.cains.com/bucha/kalama.html

      As Buddha questions the Kalamas on what is good for them, and not blindly having faith!

      Others have faith. They believe coz the book say so. This is blind faith.

      Buddhist should have faith. Faith that comes from CONFIDENCE.
      CONFIDENCE coz it works for them
      Very Happy
