About Buddism

Buddhism is not a single religion any more than Christianity. Older than Christianity, it has had plenty of time to evolve into a variety of sects. Since it has a history, observers can also compare the actual practice of life by Buddhism to claims made by its proselytizers.

I'll distinguish between Buddhism in general, particular sects, and the actions of particular individuals who are Buddhists.
