Not only for the Buddhist Sangha, this terrible thing is universal. Just look at the frightful disintegration of the Roman Catholic Church these past 50 years, or the growth of stupid fundamentalist fanatics in all religions! Spirituality is becoming treated as another commodity anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14548193.post-1160294703710608712006-10-08T16:05:00.000+08:002006-10-08T16:05:00.000+08:00I have been living in China for more than 7 years,...I have been living in China for more than 7 years, and after taking refuge in the Tirple-gem, I started maintaining close contacts with the Sangha community in different places.

It will only make non-believers and those who have not develop strong faith in the Triple-gem start questioning their spiritual choice.
