Why normally you find there those who aren't really Buddhist but stay at the Buddhist centre every day and most of the day?
Eventually they end up being managers or directors, they end up running the Buddhist Centre. Amazing!!! Isn't it? They even end up teaching (Left Wing) Buddhism. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that they end up teaching Cultural Marxism disguised as Buddhism?
You can recognise them easily, they are very very very unfriendly, materialistic, love diplomas to increase their Buddhist CV, pretend to be rational and scientific very grounded on the real (officially recognised by various official authorities) world, yes! they love authority.
They tolerate that Buddha and other famous Buddhist teachers including Padmasambhava talked about Nagas but laugh at David Icke when he mentions reptilians.
Yes! left wing contradictions:
- Right wing dictators are bad but left wing dictators are good.
- We are diverse but we are equal.
- We are equal but if you think differently from a left winger you are much much much worse than them. They are actually holier than thou. So not so equal after all.
- You can perceive easily that they can't pretend convincingly to believe in prayer while they are so plainly materialistic. They're FAKE!!!
- etc, etc, etc.
Here a couple of old debates about this subject very interesting to read:
