Is Buddhism a religion, a philosophy, a spiritual practice, or none of these?

-

here's answer great, comtemporary tibetan lama, patrul rinpoche:

"what buddhism ?

buddhism cannot categorised. no label suits it.

buddhism not religion, @ least not in sense use word. in fact, not @ presuppose belief in existence of 1 or several gods, , in more general way, categorically rejects idea there believe in without being able submit analysis through reasoning.

buddhism not philosophy either, because not limited intellectual or conceptual approach. teaches, in fact, understand not enough. 1 must experience , "realise". spiritual dimension of buddhism.

buddhism not cultural, political or social phenomenon either.

[...]

lastly, buddhism science? sciences, in case describe pure, turned towards exterior world, diverse phenomena perceive. buddhism is, on contrary, turned towards "the interior"; day, attentive mind. why said buddhism "science of mind". expressions, has limits.

prefer buddhism unclassifiable; eludes categories , comparisons.

[...]

buddhism is, therefore, voyage towards wisdom, serenity , goodness."


.

perhaps people see buddhism religion , others don't? not religious, rather spiritual? philosophy on life? or else?
