Dalai Lama said:~Buddhism need not to be the best religion though it is more scientific and religion and inquisitive. But Buddhism has no answer to certain questions like the existence of Atama [soul] and rebirth. Dali lama said that as an individual he believes in rebirth as he had come across a few cases of rebirth. Modern science, Dalai Lama hoped would unearth the mystery behind the rebirth. (In DH –dec-212009-Gulburga).

The same way all religions of the world and all philosophies of the world are based on individuality(ego) find no answers for many questions. Truth seekers all over the world are trying to find answers for themselves, and they imagine and write articles and books of their ideas and others will read and blindly accept them as truth.

There is no need to condemn any ones’ views and ideas or writing, but without being judgmental, the seeker has to verify whether the author is speaking on the standpoint of ego, or whether he is speaking on the standpoint of the soul, the innermost self. If his views are based on the standpoint of the physical self (waking entity or ego), then there are many doubts and confusion. If his views are based on the soul, the innermost self then there is no confusion and doubts of any sort. 

Nothing has to be accepted without verifying the validity of any claim in pursuit of truth. Only the un - contradictable truth has to be accepted as truth. There is no need to condemn any religion or any saints or sages, but seeker has to think beyond religion, scriptures and individualized Gods.:~Santthosh Kumaar
