Ok, so Chinese New years is coming up SOON. I'm not sure when.
( maybe this should be in debate column? ) So, it's called CHINESE new years... so why do chinese people in general celebrate it? I mean, some of you probably don't, but yeah. But I know a lot of asian people celebrate it. And some of them are vietnamese. But if it's called CHINESE new years, shouldn't it be for chinese people? And yeah, on chinese new years don't u like, get red envelopes, eat smelly food, pray, and then burn fake money? (that's what we do) But don't you like, pray to Buddha? I know some people who are Catholic and celebrate Chinese New years... Do you celebrate chinese new years? |

Wow, please refer to past posts to find your answer. As for that "crap" you were referring to, if I were still Buddhist, I would be offended. Try to refrain from demeaning other people's beliefs, please. It's enough that others must tolerate your faith, but no one likes to have what they practice called "crap". Would you? |

Would you? i wouldn't mind that if ppl called my beliefs (christian) crap... cause there will always be ppl who are for it and against it. |

Does that mean you think it's okay to belittle other's people beliefs? People are against your faith because most of you tend to not tolertate others and YOU provided the perfect example. Simple, eh? What goes around comes around then. |

A real Buddhist wouldn't react to that statement. But thanks for doing it. =] Anyways, like other people have said, "Chinese New Year" is the Lunar New Year. Vietnamese people also celebrate this new year. This is probably because Vietnam used to be part of China and retained this part of Chinese culture. Different Asian cultures have different new years. I don't know why though.. |
