My favorite question...

What according to you, would constitute a generally ideal religion ? Please do not feel offended as this is just a general question. Thank you.

Please Discuss.

Re: What would an ideal Reilgion according to you ?

Instead of naming an existing religion to serve a quick purpose, I leave this job to readers to find the best fit for a religion, which should have following characteristics, which should:
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=645
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=645
1. encourage rational thinking
2. equality
3. disciplined life streamlined by certain principles
4. encourage to learn more about the indescribable Supreme Power
5. encourage betterment of self and surroundings

As u see, the list above is incomplete, but bringing out a few points.

Regards.

Re: What would an ideal Reilgion according to you ?

1. Rational Thinking
Rationally speaking why is there a need of a Supreme Power/Diety in an Ideal
Reilgion ?

2. Equality.
Is equality really possible... Sikhism also believe in survival of the fittest. So, dont you think eqality part is also sometimes compromised.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=645

3. disciplined life streamlined by certain principles
Why we need principles... I am talking about ethics as everything happens according to the will of God.

4. encourage to learn more about the indescribable Supreme Power
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=645
see first point.

5. encourage betterment of self and surroundings
What better you are talking about ? Spiritual or Worldly ? How would that be different from Maya or materialism ?

Regards

I have no idea what an ideal religion would be. However I know what the ideal way of life is.

Arvind ji,


The ideal way of life is the path of sikhi which is based on Naam Japnah, Kirat Karni, Vand kei Chaknah.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=645

I used to consider Sikhi a religion but not any more.It is a way oflife towards total freedom with no strings attached.

Tejwant

Re: What would an ideal Reilgion according to you ?

And this way of life leads to Morning Nitnem, Sukhmani Sahib and Evening Nitnem as breakfast, lunch and dinner respectively, without 'something' is always missing in the daily life. The Gurubani paath seem to start happening consciously and unconsciously, making us puppets by 'someone' who uses our body for getting that done!

Re: What would an ideal Reilgion according to you ?

When we call Sikh 'Dharma', does this means Sikh Religion or a Way of Life ?

An ideal religion for me would be one that encourages an individual to do as much searching that may help with the contentment and happiness of the soul. Happiness varies for each individual. But I would also expect the religion to have a general rule about intentionally hurting others as something that is most definately not praised. I would also think an ideal religion isn't one that would dictate and force someone to do something, but rather offer suggestions and various ways to reach or find happiness. I don't think one should be punished for not believing in certain mythologies of the faith. What is most important should be how one lives their life.
