I remember a Scot Alexander post a while ago about Bhudism and suffering, I beleive he was asking Isur about some aspect of it. His phrasing implied that the idea that Bhudism has something important to teach us, some kind of magic juice, was to be taken very seriously. I imagine an equivalent post about Hinduism or Islam, or even Kabalistic stuff, would have used more detached ‘they beleive this stuff’ phrasing.
I dont agree that Bhudism is somehow uniquely unhealthy to people. I do find it interesting how it seems to provoke different instinctive reactions than other religions.
