Buddha Bullshit - available December 2025 🟠
What do the Dalai Lama, the Golden Temple, and the Kama Sutra have in common?
Buddha Bullshit
"... because it's high time to do a thorough clean-up:
With misconceptions, with esoteric marketing hype, and with all the pseudo-spiritual bullshit that is sold today under the label "Buddhism"."
Cheeky
Controversial
Smartass
The Author
Kristin has lived her daily life as a practicing Buddhist in the Pāli tradition * for many years.
With "Buddha Bullshit", she is going to publish an entertaining, maybe provocative, but above all well-founded book about our modern spiritual wishful thinking, misinterpretations, and the fundamental core of Buddhist teachings soon.
Quote:
"Hardly any philosophy or religion has been so misinterpreted and glorified over the thousands of years as Buddhism.
The eternal controversy over whether Buddhist teachings constitute a religion or a philosophy alone reveals the fragmentation of something that was once intended to provide people with a different perspective and a clearer view of things and their lives in general.
If Buddha hadn't been cremated 2.500 years ago, he would probably be turning in his grave today if he knew what had become of his original teachings in the meantime."
* The Pāli tradition is based exclusively on the Pāli canon, which is considered to be the oldest surviving source of the Buddha's teachings and from where it all began. This form of Buddhism is free from later interpretations, myths, and rituals.
What's waiting for you
"The classic misunderstanding:
A grinning bald man with a pot belly sits in the corner of an Asian restaurant and is reverently called 'the Buddha'.
Some even rub his belly - for luck, prosperity, or extra crispy spring rolls."
"Buddha wasn't a yoga teacher.
He didn't teach people how to look highly enlightened, but how to end suffering."
"If you believe today's wellness accounts, mindfulness gurus, and lifestyle coaches, then Buddhism is one thing above it all:
A stylish lifestyle - clean, vegan, minimalistic.
Full of ritual sets made out of bamboo and incense sticks and, of course, soul food - at best in the form of a color-matching Buddha bowl, which has as little to do with the real Buddha as a smoothie has to do with enlightenment."
"You finally want to know what Buddhism is all about?
No problem, you say to yourself - Google it:
'Buddhism + meaning + origin'
Ten seconds later, you're enlightened.
Congratulations!"
