No flames here. Your job is to convince the Buddhists that liberalism is bad Karma! I mean, giving money to people in exchange for their votes can’t be good for the soul in any tradition.

I like Buddhist ideas on nature. I think we can say we are connected to nature without falling into paganism or renouncing our divine gift of being human.

My only problem with Buddhism is that when grat evil happened, they often say “it happened.” The tradition could use a greater sense of moral outrage. Unfortunately, a lot of genocides have happened in Buddhist countries over the last century. I’m not saying believing Buddhists were spearheading the genocides, but their outrage over the events seems a bit weak. Thoughts?
