What is offered today is not Buddhism, it is New Age. And any investigation leads us to the same authors and translators. And it's not that it's funny. Buddhism was in death throes, once again like so many others throughout its history, and someone came to revive it. And this time it was the Theosophical Society. He managed to keep Buddhism from being engulfed by the Jesuit missionaries and he “saved” it by reviving it, but of course, giving it that theosophical flavor that is what permeates Buddhism today. A touch that corrupts the true meaning of the Buddha's Dhamma and that has contributed to consolidating ignorance even in those who sought the truth. If the water is thirsty, there is nothing that can be done.

" As human beings, we often ponder upon our existence on this earth and ask ourselves why we are here. We search for answers through various religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. They share a common theme where God wants us to use all our talents and become closer to Him. We examine methods like fasting, meditation, lucid dreaming, sensory deprivation, and mind-altering drugs such as psychedelics and marijuana to explore our minds and awaken our spirituality. We delve into the deep depths of our minds and psyches to gain greater awareness and uncover hidden aspects of ourselves. Through this journey, we discover our true selves and purpose in life while traversing the path to enlightenment. "
