One element of Buddhism is it is completely non-sectarianistic, so I took the liberty of switching "In order to attain nirvana, one must follow the eightfold path" to something more appropriate to their practice of tolerance, they also acknowledge that nirvana does not need come from any doctrine or specific guide - Buddhism is simply a spirit guide. not an answer to life.
And it is not a "religion" in the strict sense of the word.AlanE 23:19, 1 June 2007 (EDT)
I would agree Alan. Especially as practiced in America, Buddhism has always seemed to be more of a philosophy than a religion, but still allows people to claim a religious or 'spiritual' affiliation. Learn together 01:53, 2 June 2007 (EDT)
