Answer the questions below honestly. Pick the answers that sound the most like you. Happy Quizzing! PSA: all questions and answers are based off of information learned in ASIA/RELI 285: The Buddhist Tradition: Southeast Asia and Sri Lanka.

What Kind Of Buddhist Are You?

How important is reaching nibbana to you?

What does your typical Saturday look like?

What kind of important rules do you follow in your life?

Do you currently have a partner/significant other in your life?

If you had one million dollars towards traveling anywhere in the world, where would you go?

You seem to follow Brahmanical ideals. You’re into the organization of life, each person has a role in society that they should strictly follow. Maybe you’re into Hinduism? But you should stay away from Buddhism.

Not a Buddhist

You are a Buddhist but maybe it’s just not you’re time to leave your family in order to become fully ordained. You enjoy you clothes, your house, and making money. Just make sure to keep on making donations to your local monks and nuns in order to gain merit for this and your next lives. You don’t want to fall behind with akusula actions, stay ahead of the game.

Layperson

So you may not be a Buddhist- but it’s okay! There is always time to convert.

Wannabe Buddhist

Woah you’re too cool for school (or more like society). Either you left or you’re thinking about leaving the social construct way of living in society. Time for a life cleaning of sensual pleasures, family life, and anything else that distracts from achieving moksha. Hope you find what you’re looking for!

Śramana

Congratulations on Pabbajja! You may be a yougin’ but you’re on the way to great success. You’ll get used to the bald head, and the robes can be itchy at first, but you’ll get used to it. Keep on following the ten precepts and you will become a great Bhikkhu/Bhikkuni one day.
