Hi Arthur
Speaking as a priest of the Hongaku Jodo sect of Shin Buddhism, I would like to point out there is no "sin" in Buddhism as there is no God to sin against. There is indeed negative karma, which is Sanskrit for "action." Americans are very confused about karma, saying such things as "Your karma must be bad." That is confusing karma with the fruit of karma.
Unlike Hinduism, Buddhism teaches that one can be "awakened" (enlightened) at any moment, to see things as they really are, and hence be free of the wheel of rebirth. It is Hinduism, not Buddhism, that declares that everyone must live for hundreds-thousands-millions of lifetimes to overcome one's negative karma. Buddhism says that by grasping/comprehending the Four Noble Truths and following the Eightfold Path, one can awaken at any moment and be free.
Namaste,

Really? You are? Well then I have a question...I seem to recall that there is no God unless you believe there is a God.

Did I say Buddhism said that? Let me go see. I know my paper was on Hindu. It is like Buddha in a girdle. lol

What U feel is what you get.
What U sense is what you grasp.
What U know is what you act upon.
Love Ya,
