Truth how some buddhists view it

  Dear Neves,  
        Though I practice and believe in the majority of Buddhist teachings, I would never say that I followed the ONE TRUE FAITH.  To me there is no one true faith.  Faith follows naturally from experience.  I practice Buddhism because it makes more sense to me than the religion in which I was raised.  When I say it makes more sense, I simply mean that Buddhism, along with other faiths, stresses the experiential process in arriving at any form of faith.  I think that all faiths are equally valid and a person should have the freedom to practice in any way so long as it doesn't harm anyone else or anyone elses faith.  
Peace, Lita

The concept of "one true faith" is a remarkable one.  the question  
assumes an absolutism that is foreign to me.  The faith that works for  
you is the only possible "one true faith" for you.  But if it pushes you  
to push your faith onto others, you'd have to ask yourself if it's a  
faith or a rationale for some kind of aggressive emotional state.  

Peace,     Michael     :-)

What one learns is that all faiths are true. Little truths contradict.  
Big Truths agree. The explanation I like best is that the different  
faiths are all differing paths leading up the same mountain. They all  
reach the same summit.  It seems we have different paths because we all start from different places, so what speaks to one person's heart may not speak as clearly to yours, and vice-versa. The error of dogma comes from not having the perspective to understand that we are all seeking the Unknowable Source, and that any communicable manifesation of the Divine is true in that it serves as a gateway to the beyond, but false if it  is worshiped for the gate and not the opening -- the "gateless gate".
