This NYTimes article illustrates humorously some of the pointed differences between Hinduism and Buddhism, ones that we see playing out in the philosophically Hindu Fairfield community, and in the way Maharishi dealt with his own health, mortality, and self portrait; and that are specific to the original Buddha earning himself a one way ticket to the label heretic 2500 years ago. No dreaming, no magic powers. Funny how it is still pertinent. Go figure.
