I find the concept of having to suffer for sins comitted in a previous life to be disturbing.
The usual religions preach that one has to suffer in the "afterlife", but in buddism one has to suffer or suffers during one life, for the sins of a previous life.
This can be used to justify grose social injustice.

And I just find it outright weird how it is marketed as a DIY way of healing the psyche or giving a meaning to ones life to lonely housewifes.

I have better ways to give a meaning to my life, know that buddism cant stand up to modern psycology and have much better things to waste my money on.
But as long as it doesn`t hurt anyone or is as loud, annoying and obtrusive as other religions, I dont have a problem.
