Scientologists distort Buddhist history

By Janaka Perera - Asian Tribune

Colombo, 08 June, (Asiantribune.com): The Scientologists’ ulterior motives were well and truly exposed when they were found distributing a 30 page full color, propaganda booklet in Sinhala, titled, Santhoshayata Maga (The Path to Joy) in Colombo suburbs, recently. Questions have also been raised on their movements outside tsunami- affected areas, despite their pretence of having come to aid tsunami victims.

This came to light when the Venerable Gnanaweera of the Mallikarama Buddhist Temple, Ratmalana and Deeptha L. Gamage a U.S.-based Sri Lankan Journalist confronted them in two separate incidents.

A copy of the half A-4 sized booklet that came into Gamage’s hands carries maliciously distorted facts on Buddhism’s history.

In a chapter that warns readers against wrong sexual behavior, the author states on page 8: “ Adultery is nothing new. Buddhism, which was a powerful religion in India in the Seventh Century, disappeared from there as a result of sex perversions of Buddhist monks in temples.”

Scientologists distort Buddhist history

"In a chapter that warns readers against wrong sexual behavior, the author states on page 8: “ Adultery is nothing new. Buddhism, which was a powerful religion in India in the Seventh Century, disappeared from there as a result of sex perversions of Buddhist monks in temples.” "

Has any Scientologists here clarified on why they are preaching this life when it was the Islamic invasions that caused the decline of Buddhism in India?

Or is it part of the normal preaching method of the West as they sought to defame local practises and religions to better preach theirs such as misrepresenting the ancient rite of paying respect to ancestors as superstitious ancestral worship.

We Asians must let non-Asians know that they have no right to distort local traditions, cultures and religions with no proof.

Scientologists distort Buddhist history

The Scientology crime syndicate is at it again, only this time in the USA instead of Sri Lanka. The criminal enterprise is rushing into the hurricane disaster area to further victimize the victims.

Pretty damn revolting behavior!
