Is Buddhism a religion for lazy people?
I am not a Buddhist, although I often play one on the Internet.
And here I go: I disagree that Buddhism is a lazy religion, or is for lazy people. In my experience, Buddhists and Zen practicioners are constantly in thought, constantly trying to learn, constantly seeking enlightenment, constantly searching for new perspectives to add to the human experience.
Indeed, to me, laziness is having the desire to be instructed in all things, to be given from-on-high all of your precepts and ideas, to be told what absolutely is and what absolutely is not, to simply follow the edicts of inflexible doctrine without the need to think or consider or be terribly introspective. To be a sheep to a religion, to believe that there's nothing more to be learned because you already know it all -- now that's lazy.
