Do Bhuddists have life insurance ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ (44)
I would think religious people have "life assurance""...therefore, no need for "life insurance"
I am Bhuddist and yes I have life insurance.
Life insurance is to replace income lost after you have died for your loved ones or others that you feel would need your income. As I have children, and others that depend on me, it is the prudent thing to do.
Insurance for life, now that's a different story. I know that someday I will die, I don't know when, but we all do. You cannot stop the life cycle, and we should not expend a lot of energy to do so.
I like the saying by Jack London.....
-- I'd rather be a superb meteor,
every atom of me in magnificent glow,
than a sleepy permanant planet.
The proper function of man is to live,
not mearly exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them,
I shall use my time.
Namaste

It's their religious beliefs...they lead a cleaner life and don't get sick like we do because of their philosophies. JMO from the ones I've met.
yes but the premiums keep going up after each life cycle!!
shipoker58: yes but the premiums keep going up after each life cycle!!
Inflation for the soul?

Nahhh....deregulation in the industry!!
I voted yes...being as I think this whole topic is a non-sequitor...why would buddhists be any different in the way they conduct their business than anyone else? They're people too, you know...and to insinuate that they're not or that they think they're better than others is to completely admit your ignorance as to what the philosophy is all about...
Bodhi,
I used to live in Portland, on NE54th. How's my old town doing?
You're correct in your statement. Somehow, when people find out I'm Buddhist, they somehow think that I am either different, better, holier, or have some type of inside track to enlightenment. Questions abound, but I like to keep it simple. That's Buddha nature. Even in my own Zen community, there are struggles with place, power, hierarchy etc. Oh Well, I say, and just keep sitting.

Portland is still as weird as ever...we keep it that way...on purpose...
Keep on keeping on...as a Zen master once said...Be Peace!
I simply don't get what's the difference of being a Buddhist and a Christian has to do with a life insurance ?
Buddhism should not be taken as a religion... it should be taken as a Philosophy and more than in one way "Science".
A Philosophy which connects the dots between how all things are interconnected to each other. I think it's the people who misinterpreted the whole thing here.
For example, there's a preaching called "Patichchchasamoopapadaya"
(yeah... I know.. crazy long name) .. but in reality of laymen talk what the preaching teaches you HOW is that a baby spoil diaper hits' your face when it's thrown off a moving car
Mind my weird example.. but in reality (with much more deep and more solid reasoning) it teaches you in depth connections and workings of Physics. (some of which many people still don't understand... truth being told, that preaching has a section for Atomic energy and physics explanation on how to harness solar radiation for power)
and imagine that was all preached 2600 years ago
BUT, in general, Buddhism teaches you on how to find inner peace without relying on external GOD and mythical beliefs. It SHOWS you (note the word...not Teach or force you to believe or just SAY) .. it SHOWS you that there's no such thing called GOD, set Destiny blah blah of all what we Christians believe.
I am not an Buddhist, but I have avidly studied the science part of it during the past 10 years and I am finding something astonishing every day to keep me going.

Ayobowan. Hari hondai
It was meant as a joke from Gongman once in the early beginning. The reactions in the EU forum and here would be different so he posted in both to see what would happen.
And here is what happened
How’s life in Colombo?

oh ! ... so is that what happened? 
Anyway, life in colombo is as usual heavy with solid 10 inches rain everyday and baking sun in between.
The months of pure fun is coming up... with all the musical gigs and carnivals
.. other than that.... life is as it is.. rolling on amidst of the constant death threat from BOMBS 
What for?
Don't they return?
