Having trouble finding it, but I will share when I do.

I read buddhist writings, in a creation story,  where they actually eluded to a single all powerful being that they are incapable of describing. Since they are incapable they do not even try. 

I'll see if I can find it. 

Well something along these lines.

The, most likely Japanese, reference I read took it a step further to to say it all came from the indescribable One.

Buddhists and Hindus are most welcome to join Sikhi (the ultimate Dharmic faith). We already have a lot in common.

Why should they join. We Sikhs believe every path is right dont we. even agnostic. As everyone is free to belive in what they like.

it was an invite not an order ...chill. If you are on to a good thing is it not good manners to let others know so they can find out if they like it too?

Buddhism And Hinduism: The Similarities And Differences

 

The dharam of Buddha is similar to Sikhi in which both teach to kill the ego, however it is divergent in the sense that Sikhi heavily emphasizes the simran on the ONE. while the same concept isnt so clear in the modern interpretations of the Budha dharam. 

 

In regards to "Hindu-ism", (correct term Sanatana Dharma), its a blanket term used to describe an ocean of different south Asian originated beliefs. This is why when people compare Sikhi to Sanatana Dharma it really depends on which aspect of it they are talking about. Unlike Sikhi, Sanatana Dharma isnt a unified belief system. Hinduism" is so broad that you cant even really define it. It would be like saying all the abrehamic religions were one.

Just curious, how do you define religion?

"Religion" is defined in a very western, abrehamic context, and the term "Dharma" just like many other terms such as ੴ  have no adequate English counterparts.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
