Buddhist temple in Ireland

[Rosebud77]

Came home last night to this

independent.ie/irish-news/news/buddhist-community-must-raise-500k-in-three-months-to-build-irelands-first-temple-35686656.html

When Sister was over here from India, we visited this place, and were, literally, shunned. Sister wears the monastic habit

We stood in the big bookshop at the entrance to the care and the leaders walked past as if we were not there. All were men incidentally

Our group in India live in a disused Buddhist temple, given for the work we do by the monks. They are “holy and humble men of heart” who give to the poor all they have, respect the work we do deeply. When there is extra need, they provide extra food. Beg for their own food daily.

This is true Buddhism. A way of living.

What is at Beara is a superficial and intellectual thing. All male leaders too. A western phenomenon.

There has been left here a deep spiritual vacuum. Mindfulness etc is taking the place of prayer. Outward show; huge prayer flags etc…

And the money will be given as it already has been; in a country with increasing homelessness.

This came in at the same time as a report on the conviction of a former Christian Brother for terrible child abuse way back, and a more personal learning that a priest has been thrown out of another country for paedophilia and is being hidden here.

Makes me sad for Ireland. So very sad.

Apparently there’s one in Toronto. I have a friend who was raised Catholic ( she has four names after all) but turned Buddhist because she was impressed with the temple.

indeed! It really makes no demands on these folk. And the place is in a vastly lovely place.

So now the coastline of Ireland will have a huge Buddhist temple as a landmark… HUGE SIGH.

What exactly is the sigh for with Ireland having a Buddhist temple? I don’t see where the concern is in that regards too much. It only makes sense that in today’s globalized world that you’d find such temples outside of the India/China region.

Contrary to today’s globalist multicultural fantasyland agenda, there are many who prefer not to see the watering down to the potential point of collapse their country’s identity and culture. A country the size of Ireland could understandably have such a concern, but it’s ultimately up to the people there to decide.

This, of course, has nothing whatsoever to do with xenophobia, racism or even the annoying Islamophobia smears the left loves to throw around in order to push their agenda.
