    Asians is a broad term.

    As far as I know The version of Buddhism that is the closest to the original form is
    Theravada Buddhism as practiced in Sri Lanka.

    Obviously, rituals etc are meaningless in spiritual sense as Buddha said they don't matter in the least.

    A lot of what appears as ritual, like chanting, mantras are actually mental tools to help develop conncentration, they are not really rituals but appear to be to the lay men.

    Of course things like certain section of Buddhism where sex is practided to achieve enlightenment is way off the teachings of Buddha. Well humans will try to bend anything to their liking.

    Theravada is what I know.

    Actually, there is a very natural system of moral code, do not do to others what you wish not done onto yourself. Killing, stealing, lying are not things people like done to themselves. It is not complicated at all, no supreme being needed to figure this out either.

    Yes that sounds quite a very simple concept but i mean that course the way we are created so we automaticly have some instincts very similar to each person but the theory about karma its completely fraudfull because if bhuddist took sciencse and knowledge about people so why they have to go and take some of the rules from wierd and retarded hindu rituals because bhuddist didnt create karma theory

    I am not sure what you understand by karma. Buddhist karma means intention. In other words, the intention behind the action makes that action ethical or not.

    thats true but lets say if in many situation you could have sometimes you should need to lie to not bother or hurt other person by any reason he could be bothered even yes if you dont mess with other people you would be in a quite good reputation for your self but still the morals is also a human made concept such as instincts of a person

    Well, you do not know about the path of the right speech it appears, and how could you, you are not a Buddhist, no problem, let me explain what right speech is.

    Right speech: no lies, no divisive speech, no abusive speech, no idle chatter. Said at the right time, with the right mindset, under the right circumstances. The key is intent, as intent is karma. The mind should be clear, at peace when you open your mouth to speak.

    You always have the option to be silent, never miss a good opportunity to shut the fuck up.

    If you cannot control your mouth, there is no way you can control your mind.

    You can go further and practice Right Listening. You have one mouth and two ears, therefore you should listen twice as much as you speak.

    Remember, you ain't learning much, when your lips are flapping.
