[Buddha-l] Karma

[Erik Hoogcarspel]

Last year, during his visit to the place I'm teaching these days, one of 
my students made the observation that Richard is doing his best to 
prevent the coming of next Buddha and therewith the new Buddhist 
renaissance. The new Buddha only comes when dharma is in decline, so 
unless you are a Buddha yourself, the best you can do is help Buddhism 
down the drain. Many members of this list also help to spread an clarify 
the dharma, so our karma must be terrible.
Recently this logic has been used by one of the most intelligent 
politicians, undoubtedly a candidate of the coming Nobel Prize on an 
actual issue.
