And the SAD thing is if I read all the replies more than 75% of them are being written out of anger!! So there's FUNDAMENTALLY something wrong here... I know anger is a very hard feeling to control (even for me) but I think at least when it relates to Buddhism shouldn't your compassion just come up naturally!?! So these people maybe "Shrawakas" let them be beginners or experienced, shouldn't these fundamentals be strong? else, I'm not sure how they gonna conquer the rest of the teachings!In my personal opinion and experience, many countries, cultures tend to behave towards Buddhism among many other issues because they do not know what Buddhism stands for or the people who are the "Shrawakas" of Buddhism have not done enough to create that awareness in those cultures...which rightly so Lord Buddha mentioned that the greatest thing you could do is to give Dharma (the Knowledge)</blockquote>
