I beg to differ, but the Dalai lama has recently "corrected" himself and said that he didn't see ANYTHING wrong with homosexuality, as long as no one "gets hurt"....(and BTW, the nature of Tibetan Buddhism is contradiction, question EVERYTHING, believe nothing...unless you have "experienced" it yourself, but that's impossible because there in fact is no "self" and nothing to experience.)
That's what I said. He contradicts himself. And he has done it on many issues when it's brought to his attention, and then he retracts.
Yes the main goal in buddhism is to break attachment to scape the infinite circles of death and rebirth and to end suffering. Some people think that buddhism is all free to go religion . That they can do anything as they please. True Buddihism is basically a monastic religion even more than conventional christianity.
Very true and that's why so few can actually embrace it entirely.
I'm not condemning anyone , just saying that buddhism is a discipline .
Real buddhism is very attractive in some ways but is also not that easy to follow . Breaking attachment to samsara is not that easy .
It's very attractive to some because they think they know what it's all about and they don't. I know a man who is quite educated about Buddhism, and thinks it's actually funny how many people are calling themselves Buddhists these days and don't have a clue what it's all about. It's become almost a fad to say you're a Buddhist.
