It seems to me though that the one group of people who probably aren't around the bend about this are the Buddhists themselves. After the giant Buddhas in Afganistan were blown up by the Taliban, I saw a Buddhist commentator say: "they'd have come down someday, someway, anyway."
Pretty smart, IMPNSHO.

I hope they rebuild as they once did.

You said it better than I could, and you said it about yourself.

This is not to show how diverse I am, I'm a narrow minded scum, it's just to show that in this day & age it's pretty complicated.

I'm going to take that comment in stride given some of the other junk that gets posted on this website.

Are you just saying that because you dislike Asians, and think all Buddhists are Asian?

More than a few westerners, like my mother and father, are Buddhist and that was the religion I was brought up into. Can't say I am much of a practicing Buddhist these days, I love my beer and meat too much, but that is my moral background and Buddhism shapes much of my outlook on life.


If this person is referring to the few Buddhists that are corrupt, I can't disagree but oh well, it's his or her opinion.
