I think it's insulting to a spiritual tradition such as #Buddhism to compare it to #scientology. Not a #believer in this scam...
The best academic description of #Scientology I've ever heard is "technological Buddhism." What do you think? #believer

It's an awful comparison: Buddhism is about compassion & transcending the ego.
#Scientology is selfish egotism.@YahiaLababidi@rezaaslan -
#Scientology is a self-help system for training followers to blame their present-day problems on past life recall.@YahiaLababidi@rezaaslan -
The sinister aspects are that followers must pay large sums to the church & *never* question the leaders or LRH.

Technological Buddhism that scams people out of their money and separates them from their families is more accurate..

It's completely inaccurate. Scientology is a Westerners idea of Buddhism, has no connection to the real thing.

their surveys are not scientifically created or tabulated. They are trying to treat it as a science without using any statistics
