Is Atheistic Humanism the ideology of the Anglo-Sphere?
#14
RE: Is Atheistic Humanism the ideology of the Anglo-Sphere?
Quote:The two most dominant countries in the region are Japan and China neither of which have Buddhist governments or governments that talk about Buddhism. Authentically Buddhist means where the government promotes Buddhism as a tool of power to impact behavior and rule. So yes, I do think Tibet was the most Buddhist when compared to Thailand or Sri Lanka but that's not an important point at all. If middle class Han Chinese are Buddhists now -- is there an underground movement to help Tibetan Buddhists escape Han Chinese repression?

You said authentically buddhist as if somehow Tibetan Buddhism itself was authentic. From a religious viewpoint Tibettan buddhism or 'Vajrayana' is probably the least authentic and most devolved from the Hinayana.

In Thailand Buddhism is definitely a means where the government seeks to control the masses it is interwoven with extreme veneration for the King. Tibetan buddhists have no problem leaving tibet, China does not stop people leaving the country. Nothing stops Tibetans leaving for India, Bhutan or Nepal.
