- 2Posted by $ MikeMarotta 11 years, 2 months agoSeveral of my Objectivist comrades confess to positive learnings from Buddhism, but exempt the Lhasa school form endorsement. On the other hand, my wife and I attended a "teaching" from Tenzin Gyatso with 10,000 others at the University of Michigan basketball venue, Crisler Center. He was entertaining, to be sure, but also broad-minded and (I daresay) grounded in reality. Buddhism stands against much (if not most, or even all) of Objectivism; and Lhasa Buddhism has much to answer for. That said, of all the major religions, Buddhism (largely and broadly) is perhaps the least incompatible with Objectivism, if we can place it second to Catholic Scholasticism as expounded by Cardinal Mercier.Permalink|
