do buddhists celebrate or believe in christmas?, this is a interesting one that i am not so sure about will there buddhists celebrating christmas 2011 this year, or is christmas or any kind of xmas celebration a part of eastern religions like buddhism.
from what i can tell there is not much or nothing at all really in the buddhist religion about christmas, with christmas being a more northern part of the world celebration and of course because of christmas being a part of the christian religion.
as well buddhism is mostly just about meditation and reaching certain states, and i am not actually too sure if they have many out and out main holidays and celebrations either.
but buddhists can celebrate christmas if they want, as to not celebrate would mean hiding away at around december time every year, which would be silly.
also of note a lot of how jesus spoke and taught has similarity to the buddhism religion as well, and how buddha taught.
buddhists might as well enjoy the christmas period and not be uptight, as there is nothing in buddhism that says they cannot take part in christmas anyway, just continue to do there meditations and reflections and spiritual practices as usual around christmas and enjoy the christmas 2011 holidays.
