Today I learned no woman can be a Bhudda , she can become enlightened(arguable by some) but not a Bhudda

technically it is not a religion, tho many religious features were added over the centuries. thre re3ally is not process to "become a Bhudda" the closest thing being Bodhisattva, a person committed to becoming enlightened, for the benefit of all.

Th Buddha tayght that enlightenment was for everyone. and broke tradition by including women as part of Buddhism

yet centuries of adaptation have made a religon out of what was a philosophy, one tha di not include the idea of a deity at all.

The reason why women aren't allowed to be idols in many religions is due to the flaw in the MEN. It's just that men can't be trusted with their intentions when following a woman. Eastern religions regard women highly when it comes to her privacy. Breaching a woman's boundaries in a man's head is as if he has already breached her boundaries and is hence considered unacceptable. Hence women are not put on a pedestal due to the "impurity" of men. I write it in quotation marks because lust towards a person not officially bonded to them is regarded impure in certain religions. So you wouldn't know if they worship the religious entity out of purity or out of lust.

I guess this concept lies on the stereotype that most men are lead by their di.cks than their brains. Which is of course an offensive generalization.

There are different lines of Buddhism. The traditional one believes that. But then there is also Tara, the female Boddhisatvas so there are lines that believe it.
At the end of the day, I believe you can't follow anything blindly because humans had a lot of influence on how these religions are taught. Buddhism has a lot of great teachings that one can absorb, like any other religion.

Yeah, there’s a lot of romanticizing Eastern philosophy at least in the United States. I can’t speak for other places. lots of New Age-y people here have very cherry picked ideas about Buddhism and Hinduism. I used to be one of them lol

I relate most to the Buddhist philosophy in a secular kind of way, but Buddhism (also there’s a bunch of different sects) as a religion has its big problems just like all the other religions.

I don't think there are fix set of rules about it. I think right question should be like who can attain wisdom, be on the same path of righteousness, enlightenment and compassion. I believe anyone who reach that level becomes that.

The good news is that buddhism is not necessarily dogmatic, you can change it to your own thing. :)

Every religion ends up disssapointing.

I expected better of them too 😔

Do you believe it?

Theyd probably agree if u let them hit it from behind

Women can become Buddhas.

Better to treat Buddhism as an exploration of the illusion of the self, the projection of a dual natured reality, and the cause of suffering.
