    It didn't mention in the article, but I think a lot of Buddhists are vegetarian and eat healthy.

    I think it has more to do with Buddhist practices of peaceful living which cause minimal stress thus leading to a long life

    I eat babies? That is exactly the behavior I'd expect from religious. Pathetic...
    Only the lowest and the most pathetic life would think of an insult involving killing of babies.. So much for the love of God.. duh

    :confused: how did we begin to talk about this stuff..


    I think all spiritual paths help decrease stress...and since buddhism and other dharmic religions emphasize medititation, i guess these things all help to make you live longer. However this is not exclusive to any religion i guess.

    I think the mindset of practicing Buddhism definitely decreases stress and increases satisfaction and happiness with one's life so living longer would come with that.
