I mean Buddhism in general. What would be the "anti" to Buddhism? Or reversal?|||Greed, hatred %26amp; delusion: the three unskillful roots.
The opposites-to-the-opposites of Buddhism (lol) are non-greed (generosity, sacrifice), non-hatred (universal loving kindness), and non-delusion (wisdom, insight).
In a way, everything is necessary because we need to learn. If we'd never been greedy %26amp; got the results of being greedy, we would never know why it is unskillful.
Sometimes greed (desire) can lead to the ending of desire, as the Buddha has said.
If it is looked at in that way... there IS no opposite of Buddhism.
Buddhism is everything: the completed product.
(Which was my initial response, as i read your question). : )

Goodfella

I don't know what that is considered.|||Too many to list here: www.buddhanet.net
