Mel ^_^ asked:


I kind of am wondering this to understand different sides of Buddhism not just the one that is related to religion.

Please tell me the benefits of the Buddhism faith along with the philosophy then list the cons of Buddhism as a faith as well as a philosophy.

Then list you personal feelings on both negative and positive.

Please if you feel a link you have read for information would make your opinion more clear then list a few links you feel are worthy and understandable in explaining what you are trying to say.

Thank you, Mel.
