    I recommend you watch this video about Angullimala, the mass murderer, who Buddha reformed. This may help you at least open your mind to how other Buddhists regard the Dhamma:

    Hoyland

    One thing. In case you are not fluent in Kymer, when Angulimala, in the video, in animal form, regrettably covers his face with his hands, then afterwards, returns to human form, he says: "What have I become?"

    This is the mental becoming (bhava) I was referring to, in response to your superstitious claims that 'bhava' (becoming) means physical rebirth.

    This video is created to educate children in a modern way so they can cope with the modern challenges of life but, today, we have fundamentalist Westerners, serving their Brahma God, preaching archaic superstition as 'Buddhism' in the West.

    Pretty serious issue, imo.
