so who is "Buddhist"?

"Estimates of Buddhists worldwide vary significantly depending on the way Buddhist adherence is defined."

If you see a big block of wood, it is just a big block of wood. If you sit on it, then it's a chair. Is there a reason to differentiate between "block of wood" and "chair"?

Only if someone needs a place to sit.

So are you the wood or the chair or the desire to sit ?

Dear Esoteric , you said "Go drink some tea. It doesn't know anything about your Buddhism, it doesn't confuse itself with desire for this or that, and it doesn't think it's the same or different from chairs, wood, or polluted energy. It's just drinking tea." Un-quote

Thanks for your advice , indeed I am very thirsty NOW ......but I was thirsty before and perhaps will thirsty again and again ..........so perhaps you need to advice me again and again my friend..........same as life ,I will always continue to re-born again and again ...if I just like what you descripe ..." it's just drinking tea".......

Buddhism is AWAKENING from " just drinking tea"........but explore why we have desire to drink , our knowledge of tea , the reason , the emotions etc

Buddhism is a PROCESS leading me FREE from thirsty , free from desire to drink tea , free from knowledge of tea ... free from emotion of drinking ...free from believing myself ....free from the will to exist .......free from my existance .....so you do not need to advice me again my friend ....but for now since I am still full of polluted energy , thanks for the advice .

Thks
