[Buddha-l] Was Mr. Pol Pot a Buddhist?

(And I have to add, that I find Buddhism in general, across a half a dozen different sources, to be more or less outrageously contrarian, so maybe, in a sort of Post-marxist Marxian way, Žižek is a Buddhist.)

Good point. 
Where I find it excessively untrue to its foundations is where Buddhism has been overtaken by consumerism: buy your Buddha stuff here---take this retreat-- no, that one is better because it has a bigger more lama-smiley ad in Tricycle and other mags. The totalism of consumerism, folks.
