Question: In this society a lot of people say "I'm a Buddhist" but they're just saying that. So my question is, how can a person become a real Buddhist? And how do we know he's a real Buddhist?

Answer: 
You become a real Buddhist when you walk the path of Dhamma. The Buddhist teaching is to be experienced here and now and to be verified here and now. There are many ways this has been put forward:

* Sila - Samadhi - Panna where later is realisation at the experiential level or at the level of wisdom
* Pariyatti - Patipatti - Pativedha where the latter is the experience
* sutta-maya-panna - cinta-maya-panna - bhavana-maya panna where the latter is experiential wisdom

When you have the 1st vision of the Dhamma your faith never changes. This is because nobody can convince you otherwise of what you have already seen for yourself.
I don't know about "Buddhism" as a name. There are those who honor the Buddha by practicing the eightfold path. There are those that honor the Buddha by giving garlands and incense but both are wholesome and real "Buddhist" practices alright. Even someone who has little idea what they are doing can technically be a "real" Buddhist. It's just a word. 

What is more real than any other Buddhism? What do I know? Maybe it's the Buddha's actual core teaching and those enlightened enough to recognize the Buddha's actual core teaching in the Suttas that is "Real Buddhism". 

I think that, "really" The Buddha's teaching is always Buddhism but Buddhism isn't always The Buddha's actual core teaching , or in many instances, Buddhism isn't even anywhere near the Buddha's actual core teaching. 

**We should** be able to **talk about** things like **this...** 

...and how we feel about things with out fear of being misunderstood, persecuted, oppressed, corrected and censored by whoever has enough nerve to think they understand themselves enough to judge other forum members as "wrong". How can this be good karma? Can a "real" Buddhist just decide that we can be judge , jury and executioner and that is congruent with the Dhamma?

Who in this forum really understands enough to transgress punitive measures against other fellow human beings and still at the same time be a "real" Buddhist?

**Anyone who justifies they're transgressions against another person because the person violated the "group's rules" can never be sure they are being fair or appropriate when they punish unless they are enlightened.** Maybe I am missing something...I certainly know that I am no saint, this is just my little opinion. -Metta
