I am saying his teachings would earn him millions.

You guys are so dense. Arguing with me over silly things.

If today the Buddha was as popular as he was in his day, he would make millions. And this is a good thing because it means he is useful to others, it means his teachings are popular.

Look at Eckhart Tolle. That is a modern Buddha. Net worth: $30 million. Does that mean he's some greedy fuck? No. It just means his books sell well.

I know, which is why I quoted @Thought Art's post instead of yours. I don't necessarily disagree, but it has to be done in a certain way for people to find it appealing. This is where the conflict lies.

‘He is useful to others’ As someone who cares about the truth, I want to ask you if there are really ‘others’ to be useful to. And if not, where will the motivation come from?

"Not believing your own thoughts, you’re free from the primal desire: the thought that reality should be different than it is. You realise the wordless, the unthinkable. You understand that any mystery is only what you yourself have created. In fact, there’s no mystery. Everything is as clear as day. It’s simple, because there really isn’t anything. There’s only the story appearing now. And not even that.” — Byron Katie
