So many gross examples of misrepresentations of the scriptures ……………….Nectarean Mellows
Today we are seeing so many gross examples of misrepresentations of the scriptures in all religions of the world. Historically Lord Buddha came at a time when Brahmans were practically having slaughter houses, making money, eating meat on the basis of some out of context scriptural injunctions. So Lord Buddha saw that these people were atheistic, they were stubborn. So he basically didn’t talk about God. Rather he spoke about just basic, Prabhupada explains, common sense religious principles. Be good do good. Like that. Ahimsa. He explained about the science of reincarnation. He explains the principles of Karma and if you cause harm to others, if you engage in immoral principles, you must suffer reaction. So just be good and just do good. Take this meditation be peaceful. Srila Prabhupada explains here that Buddha was so clever that he got people to worship him. Even today if you go to Buddhist temples everyone’s offering lamps and bowing down. They don’t believe in God but Buddha is an incarnation of God. So he tricked them into following the instructions and worshipping God without even knowing that there's a God. Obviously this is not the highest principle. But out of mercy he is taking people from one level and somehow or other giving them a connection.

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
To see a Vaishnava and not become happy is an offence.
Humility is not just a part of devotional service; it is the heart of devotional service.
It is important to remind ourselves that at the end of the day, all we really have is each other.
Combined unity is better than individual purity.
