Re: I don't think you could describe Buddha in that way. Interesting segment on NPR's All Things Considered tonight. Link: search.npr.org Real Audio Segment: npr.org In Lhasa, Tibet the local Chinese overlords are replacing Buddhism with Budweiser. This is the policy of the corporatists. Create a nihilism to replace a coherent life philosophy. Create a neologism (like "regime change") to replace a moral compass. It's working. The "now" generation of 22 year old Tibetans know nothing of their proud heritage and traditions. They know Nintendo and alcoholic dissipation. Score 1 for the Chinese overlords and corporatists. Score 0 for honesty and tradition. -R.
