the rate of people on this earth pretending to adhere to the tenants of buddhism is probably just as high as it is for judaism, christianity, or any other religion. how many people do you know claiming to be christian that dont go to church on sunday and couldnt even list of the ten commandments? i mean god sets down ten rules, TEN, thats it, and you dont even take the time in all the years of your life to learn them? I dont mean to single out christianity, its just that is the most common religion you come across in my area.
