A. Buddhism by no means says that ignorance is sin however says that it’s the seed of knowledge as a result of it will possibly flip into knowledge by way of apply. In accordance with Buddhism, there’s neither sin nor any almighty being who punishes us for our sin. It says that sentient beings battle to flee from the numerous sorts of imaginary ropes that they tied themselves with, one among which is a rope of sin.
To make issues worse, ignorant folks worship and pray to the imaginary Buddha that doesn’t exist to free them from the ropes, which is moderately so as to add one other rope to current ones. That’s, the ignorant are haunted by the phantasm of sin. This is the reason Bodhidharma stated that there’s sin after we are ignorant however that there isn’t a sin after we can see issues as they’re. The aim of Buddhism is to assist folks to flee from the ropes by realising that they don’t seem to be actual however simply illusionary.
