No, not at all. Tibetan Buddhism IS in my opinion a failed tradition. Just didn't work. >From the Namgyal Monastery, Institute of Buddhist Studies website: "Thousands of people in Tibet as well as elsewhere in China starved, were imprisoned, or were executed and thousands of people fled Tibet for refugee communities in the neighboring states of India, Nepal, and Bhutan. Thousands of monastic institutions and much of the cultural heritage of Tibet was destroyed or looted at this time." > > I can support his right to have such an OPINION while > laughing heartily at it and holding a different OPINION > myself. >
