Not really Buddhism

“While the show interviews many people who call themselves Buddhists, the overall message is: the religious side of Buddhism is useless (rituals, beliefs, culture, etc) and one should just learn meditation "techniques." (Mainly the popularized Vipassana Movement -- which is American ) There is also a strong message that baby boomer generation of teachers should move out of the way to make room for a "new" and more relevant kind of Buddhism the Geeks recommend. The general conversations lack information about the variety of authentic practices of Buddhism, which are vast and just beginning to enter the United States. I'm all for the average non-buddhist to learn mindfulness, but this show seems to go a step further and deems traditional lineages irrelevant. The show seems to push science and technology as a magic answer to Enlightenment. I'm thinking that perhaps technology has actually contributed to the average person's distraction, stimulus addiction, and inability to look inward.”Read full review »
