It teaches good people to perish from existence and not be born again (to break the cycle of death and reincarnation) That's the core belief of Buddhists who seek Nirvana.The problem with modern "Buddhism" as an organized religion is that it has mixed together the two paths that the Buddha clearly described, one for people living ordinary lives and another for monks who practice full-time.When the British and other civilized whites came here, they brought an organized religion centered on Jesus, which resulted in mass conversions. To counter this, Buddhist monks helped shape what is now modern Buddhism by drawing from the Abhidharma and compiling teachings in a way that could compete with Christianity and Catholicism.The unfortunate consequence was that teachings originally intended for full-time monks began being promoted to ordinary laypeople. As a result, this has discouraged financial ambition and other forms of material growth among the general population.</blockquote>
