Just A Thought ~ MISREPRESENTATION

I once visited a doctor for the results of a blood-test, and was surprised when he advised me to pray to the Buddha for help with my diabetes. "What does the Buddha have to do with diabetes?" I asked, amazed. "Why am I coming to you? You’re the doctor!"

Here is a person, highly educated in a particular area, but quite dumb in another; he obviously thinks of the Buddha as some kind of god that can be bribed and petitioned! We are up against so much ignorance and superstition. Lots of Buddhists are guilty of misrepresenting the Buddha, just as Christians misrepresented Jesus.
