I think - going a bit wider - that most religious/social beliefs contain an element of reward/punishment.

Buddhism is most definately a religion   .....

Most people would agree with you. I don't.

By definition, I don't think it is a religion because there is no worship of a super natural being. I see it as more of a philosophy.

I wonder if Buddhists consider it a religion, or a way of life.....I hope one joins the thread to enlighten me....ha ha....

Up to you what you choose to believe/not believe Siggy

1.There iis no almighty God in Buddhism. There is no one to hand out rewards or punishments on a supposedly Judgement Day

. 2. Buddhism is strictly not a religion in the context of being a faith and worship owing allegiance to a supernatural being.

Other buddhists might not agree though....i'll keep looking.
