Can somebody help me answer this? [View all]

I think this is a misleading question. This person asserts that Buddhism is a "salvationist religion".

I say that there is no sin in Buddhism. There is doing wrong, and karma, but certainly no original sin or inherent sin in the sense of being shamed and feeling inferior at your core.

Can someone tell me why he thinks I ignore mahayana buddhism? I used to go to a mahayana temple in Houston. I thought Mahayana was about becoming a bodhissatva, and staying behind on earth to help other beings to enlightenment, like Kwan Yin.
