And, with your January Raw Food diet and now this I've unsubscribe from your RSS, I was duped into thinking you were a bit more educated/read than I thought. Good Luck, you don't need it thought as you seem to be successful already. |

Buddhism is an organized religion just as Christianity, or it is even worse. Please educate yourself by google. Here is the starting point:
Friendly Feudalism: The Tibet Myth The Dalai Lama's hidden past
When I visited China last year, I attended the religion ritual in one of Buddhism temples with my friends, and was amazed how the spiritual teaching of Buddha has become superstition there.
The monks have grown so rich by providing spiritual opium: they are driving BMW. The masters of zen are now using Internet to do online marketing.
Falungong - a variation of Buddhism - has grown into an powerful global business with their own newspapers and other propaganda machine. This well-organized cult emerged over night is very aggressive in pushing their agenda.
I am not against Buddhism. Actually I am practicing some Buddhism teaching myself such as meditation and be aware of ego.
However, any spiritual movement can become an organized religion or cult. So do self-improvement and self-help movement.
