Just a technical nit: Buddhists aren't necessarily anit-God or deny
God, as the word atheist is typically used (a: against + theist: one
who believes in God). They just say that belief in God is
irrelevant or unnecessary -- just practice (meditate). Even though
Tantric Buddhism is all about chakras and K. energy, they don't like
to call it Shakti energy, as their goal is not bliss, but knowledge
of one's true nature and enlightenment for all. It seems to be
related to the Bodhisatva vow. Once you're completely free, you
come back down to help free others. I'll let y'all know when I
reach nirvana and complete enlightenment if I find this to be a
problem -- LOL.
Your basic point though is well taken. We tend to become enamoured
with our personal symbols, rather than the underlying reality that
they represent. Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Agnostic, Atheist, etc.,
what does it matter? After experiencing K., the only thing I would
have trouble reconciling is someone who said he was a pure
materialist, as that would be a contradiction (with our current
technology anyway).
Peace and Love,
