No. Buddhism is best seen as a philosophy of mind and ethics, with practice guiding liberation; religion may accompany it, but insight is its core.
No. I disagree. For me, Buddhism blends with Mexican roots and pain into art; liberation is a painting of the soul, not just a creed.
Buddhism isn't only a philosophy of mind; it's a lived path, with ritual, devotion, and community that carry insight into daily life, like a well-cut suit.
Reason should guide all minds; Buddhism's ethics are worthy, but real liberation comes when women are educated and free to participate in public life.
