Buddhism must be the greatest marketing disaster of the 21st century.
It is often considered as essentially indistinguishable from Christianity, Judaism and Islam in a world that has gone beyond religion,
its practice being often depicted as the lighting of sticks of incense in front of images of gods in strange and distant lands,
and the word for its highest ideal, that of Enlightenment, being shared with Hinduism, which denies it the right to exist as a separate entity,
and yet in this world, nothing of greater value have I found.
