Completely agree with you, what we know about Buddha and Jesus is so beautiful. These are the figures I find more appealing and deep, not so much as religious figures but as humans.

Talking to you is inspiring.
I encourage you to join the group of mindfulness and meditation here in PsychCentral, if you didn’t. I didn’t read the nicknames of all the members. We could help each other and you could solve many of our doubts.

Thanks again for sharing another story about another of your teachers. I know this was negative but we have to accept humans are capable of doing the best but also the worst.
Maybe, this teacher of yours, the meditation and his interest in religion was a way he tried and practise to manage his impulses. But, finally the impulses won. Or maybe it was only a cover for his bad deeds.
What do you think, you who knows him?
