everyone gives buddhism such a good name. I am not so fond of buddhism. I would much rather follow a man named Jesus who taught to love one another than some pessimistic fat man. It seems like a false thing to follow. I am not so fond of Buddha's sad look on life. he thinks everything is so sour. and yes Buddhism is controlling. It has set faiths and the set faiths are controlling. It just doesn't have a tainted name like the other faiths. don't allow society to tell u what to think. know what is there, don't know what has been revealed.
