Critical Links to Lamaism

 

Not unlike other religions Buddhism also has “skeletons in its’ closet” which it carefully conceals in the Western world. There are dark aspects in this “philosophy of compassion, non-violence and tolerance”. Zen-Buddhism for example influenced the most sophisticated warrior philosophy of the East: the extremely brutal and suicidal Samurai Ethics. In Tibetan Buddhism one can find believes in spirits and demons, in secret sexual practices, in war gods, in occultism. Lamas search to influence their retinue and the world with all sorts of magical rituals. In Sri Lanka Buddhist violence and Buddhist racism are the order of the day. In Burma and in Kashmir Buddhist armies are fighting. And yet the Dalai Lama has another face that peeks out from behind the mask of goodness, charity and kindness, which gives one pause to think more deeply about the shadow sides of this “man of peace.” Why is Buddhist fundamentalism so dangerous - because it shows a tendency to religious Fascism! It’s not well known that the brain trust of the SS in Nazi Germany was extremely interested in Vedic- and Buddhist- teachings, in the Lamaist culture, and in Zen-Meditation with the goal to construct with elements of these eastern believes its own Nazi-Religion. (See: www.trimondi.de/H-B-K/inhalt.hi.en.htm ) Buddhism - if it will become congruent with western values like democracy, human rights, equality of gender etc. must be “reinvented”. The condition therefore is an open, critical and honest debate.

 

In the old version of this site (Critical Links to Buddhism and Lamaism) we did refer to articles concerning different Buddhist schools (Theravada, Zen, Chan ....). Now we will concentrate only on contributions to Lamaism. Since this site was published (2005) the critical debate on Tibetan Buddhism has more and more expanded. The internet is full of hundreds of unbiased analyses, discussions and reports about the history of Tibet, the Dalai Lama and Buddhist Tantrism. In Youtube one can find a lot of impressive documentary material. Although several of these films are escorted by Chinese propaganda the historical documents speak their own unadorned language. The time Tibetan Buddhism could argue that in difference to other religions it has been always peaceful, compassionate and non-violent is over.
