christian jesus home
The plain message conveyed by the new administration is that George W Bush's America is a Christian nation, and that non-Christians are welcome into the tent so long as they agree to accept their status as a tolerated minority rather than as fully equal citizens.

christian religious prayer
But the United States is neither a Christian nation nor the exclusive home of any particular religious group. Non-Christians are not guests.

That is what the First Amendment is all about, and the first act by the new administration was in defiance of our Constitution. Alan Dershowitz

If we use it well we'll be successful and happy. Dalai Lama

buddhist mean views
From a Buddhist point of view, this is standing the truth on its head by considering goods as more important than people and consumption as more important than creative activity.

buddhist teaching buddhism
Hinduism threw away Buddhism after taking its sap. The attempt of all the Southern Acharyas was to effect a reconciliation between the two. Shankaracharya's teaching shows the influence of Buddhism. His disciples perverted his teaching and carried it to such an extreme point that some of the later reformers were right in calling the Acharya's followers "crypto-buddhists". Swami Vivekananda
