Message: <blockquote data-quote="rapa" data-source="post: 130812" data-attributes="member: 212">The Readers Digest of June 2006 carries an article ‘Left is Right’ on page 95. It is on lefthanders and written by William Ecenbarger. Page 97 highlights his quote on Buddhism as follows- Buddhism teaches that there are two roads in life- the right path, which is good, and the left path, which is bad.I gave him the benefit of the doubt and came up with an explanation. But this writer surely has some brain and understanding not to get into such a conclusion.- I balive that this could be his understanding of the Noble Eightfold Path which comprises of Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Awareness, Right Concentration, Right Thoughts, Right Understanding all of which does not have anything to do with the right and left, but ‘right’ which means correct. How this writer has got this mixed up I cannot imagine.-Unless he went all out to make deliberate mischief with an agenda all his own.-As a responsible magazine of such long standing they cannot make irresponsible statements such as this.-As a journalist he has ethics of his profession.-Readers Digest is a Christian based magazine although they do not advertise the fact and they could be deliberately publishing such warped ideas of other religions to boost their own.-Can they write such gross untruths and get away with it? What action can we take? It is an insult to all Buddhists of the world.  <img src="http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/6/11/63188/Image2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
