No no no no no Buddha took the middle path. You tell everybody that
you're celibate but you dip your wick when you think that you can get away with
it. If you have the sex siddhi, you don't get caught.

Thanks for posting the clip, Rick, but Buddhism advocates celibacy. The
historical Buddha left his wife and son to be an ascetic. Go figure.
If you click forty minutes into the broadcast (that is almost precisely
when to start the clip) there is a seven minute presentation on the growth of
Buddhism in the People's Republic of China that is going on with the state's
full support. The segment speaks about how the one child policy is leading to a
generation of spoiled children. China hopes that Buddhism will teach the
public about compassion to counter the spoiled attitude. Also, China is
experiencing a tremendous amount of pollution and the country hopes it will
teach people about responsible action to curb pollution. The commentator of
the piece said that the closeness of Buddhism and China is only likely to
increase because the state sees Buddhism as teaching the country valuable
lessons. Again click on the trail of the newscast 40 minutes into the
segment to see the entire seven minute segment. PBS NewsHour full
