Removing The Sheen From Buddhism

[agnivayu]

Buddhism Egalitarian? You mean like the slaves in Tibetan monasteries or the Burakamin untouchable caste of Japan where 3 million face horrendous discrimination. Unlike India with it's affirmative action policies no such thing exists for the Burakamin.

Dalai Lama, the hero of Western Buddhists would have become a Chinese prisoner breaking rocks if it weren't for Hindu generosity. What arrogance from these Western Buddhists. Most of them are perverts anyway, just doing a little meditation on the side. You can't sniff Cocaine, get drunk and seek enlightenment like these western buddhists seem to think.

The main reason Buddhism is praised by the West while Hinduism is attacked is simple. There is no large Buddhist country out there that can challenge the West. It's a classic Western tactic to heap praises on minority groups while attacking any large culture which could even remotely challenge them, example the demonization of China in the Western Media (Yellow Peril) or the attacks on Hinduism.

If India was a 1 Billion Buddhist country, I guarantee you the Western Buddhists will be the first ones to dump Buddhism and start attacking it.
