Foiling The Buddha?
I couldn’t resist another post on China’s most recent absurd act of aggression against the ever-peaceful Tibetan Buddhists…You’d think that brutally overthrowing the Tibetan government 50 years ago would be quite enough!
But reincarnationists, let’s keep the faith – ultimately, a process of such mystical antiquity as the repeating rebirth of a living Buddha is not going to be thwarted by a mundane government order of any kind. Governments are no match for the great inexplicable wheel of karma!
From World News on TimesOnline:
“Tibet’s living Buddhas have been banned from reincarnation without permission from China’s atheist leaders. The ban is included in new rules intended to assert Beijing’s authority over Tibet’s restive and deeply Buddhist people…For the first time China has given the Government the power to ensure that no new living Buddha can be identified, sounding a possible death knell to a mystical system that dates back at least as far as the 12th century.”

I have to laugh–China banned Buddha from being reincarnated? Isn’t that rather like banning the sun from spinning?
