I have two reactions to this. My first is, Who in hell does Pat Robertson think he is? The second is, Who in hell does Pat Robertson think Buddhists are? He seems to think we’re the enemy. Well, we’re not the enemy, Pat. Buddhists are concerned with eliminating suffering, and deepening and harnessing our compassion. For ourselves, and for others. Including you.

Those statues help us to think about and re-engage with our motivation to eliminate suffering, and to deepen and harness our compassion.
