China Syndrome

I was intrigued by the fact that why China is currently Communist and is resistant to Buddhism.
I have found the answer.

Their religion was drug intoxication from ancient times.

MaO Tse Tung killed at least 3 millions to arrest this pan-drug-addiction syndrome and made a Vasal State.

The Chinese are known for herbal  medicine.

In their quest for plant medicine they discovered addictive psychoactive drugs.

Manna Mushroom is one of them.

The story of South America is similar and they have more variants including ayauriska (spelling wrong).

The problem is meditators (try to induce endogenous relaxants), alcoholics (temporary euphoria and later toxicity) and drugs addicts from Afghanistan (opioids), all fall into same to the same boat.

ADDICTION.

I have gone into detail how meditators end up with strokes and the latest was one of my classmates who died within 6 months is meditation practice.

Let me dish out a small passage from a book I never read but fished out from the attic few days ago.

Since the early days of humankind chemical substances have been available when consumed, alter some kind of behaviour or experience.

Often the effects are powerful and mysterious that the substances that produced these were incorporated into religious rituals of the society.

The power of these substances took on mystical qualities of their own.

Read also Philadelphia Experiment.

In other words, almost all religions originated from this fantasy.

Buddhism as it practiced today is no different.

I have introduced this subject briefly in my book "Charms of Alcohol" at Amazon Books.
