| For a school project on a religious leader, I chose to do a chronicling of the life of Sidhatha Guatama, aka Buddha, the enlightened one.
Although I do not accept/condone one specific religion, I do have the utmost respect for Buddhism and it's followers.
I find that Buddhism has almost become 'trendy'. It seems as if countless hipster doofuses (possibly including myself...) choose to explore this religion because it is now considered funky, hip, cool, whatever you want to call it. I know it is in the Buddhist's ideals to be understanding and accepting, but I was curious.
If there are any Buddhists out there, how do they feel when the religion they take so seriously is somehow comprimised by those who choose to follow it loosely simply for the trendiness?
I'm not sure if anyone is following me, but I'd be interested to hear some input! |
