Is Buddhism overly commercialized?
I think it is, and I don’t think this commercialization is something new either, those giant golden statues of Buddha in Asian monasteries as well as in the west didn’t pay for themselves.
The only Buddhist sect that seems modest is Zen.
Yeah, man it is. There was this big chasm that took place years, and years ago. Some buddhist (Theravada’s) thought it acceptable to pray to a representation of Buddha, others didn’t, so there was a split. As the nation that house the Theravada’s beliefs started to increase in prosperity so did the craftmanship of their idols.
In no way does this mean praying to an idol of any sort will lead you to prosperity, just be I prayed to a broom once, got nothing.
