Could Give A Flip About What Kuan Yin Said, also...

Your response is certainly aflame with passion.

It would be quite impossible to say what the truth of any of these people were really about. Whatever is told is hearsay, conjectured fiction. My post was with regard to what is reported that Guatama Buddha had said.
As we can all understand that anything that doesn't flow directly out of the mouths of such individuals and directly into our own ears can only be considered as mere scripture.

A true religion exists only while these people actually are living breathing beings. And a once alive 'religiousness' starts dying into becoming an established religion is at the very moment such an individual dies, leaves his or her body. The beautifully alive lotus then begins being transformed into just another plastic flower with an -ism attached to its name.

I personally have no attraction to a man that is called Dalai Lama. To me he is just another type of pope, priest or monk, with a diplomat status - that makes him similar and close to being like a politician in my book. As I have no affiliation with the so-called religion of Buddhism per se.

In responding to OBSERVER'S initial message. I positioned my message along the thread following yours, only because I noticed your remark about 'no Buddhist crap'. I thought it would not be received as offensive. I certainly did not intend it to be as such. Apologies for the unexpected verbiage. (I really thought you would get the jest.)

This was merely an attempt to show the different view that Buddha had shown in his sutras/written words (Buddhism) in calling the force that held the universe together a universal law (dhamma). This, in contrast to the view that Christianity, Mohammedism, Judaism and Hinduism have held in describing that same force as a personalized god with human like emotional garbage, (i.e. an angry god, a jealous god, a god who is looking over your shoulder, judging you and your every move - just a peeping Tom type entity! Good for those that are attracted to the absurd.)

The belief that this force is a personified human-like entity makes for a more complicated and more obscure affair than it need be. Making it more difficult for people to drop their clinging to attachments that cause them misery, and which prevents a falling into a harmony with a non-judgmental universal law that is more like science - a science of the inner.
