I disagree with your sentiments Bgood. The parts I have bolded are contra to what I understand the Buddha to have taught.
Buddhism was progressive and revolutionary 2500 years ago because Buddha rejected Hinduism and the criticized practices like sacrifices and stuff, and introduced new ideas and belief. But it is probably not that revolutionary now. Just a religion. Science is much more progressive and revolutionary to me lol
Thanks passionate, that is my point.
Any reference material I should further look up??
