A genuine Buddhist movement would be free of Judeo-Christian bias – and wise enough not to support the greed, hatred, and delusion that underlies (and motivates) the Neo-Nazi ideology of the “Maidan” – illegally brought to power by the Obama Administration in 2014 (see your blog article “Lessons from Ukraine“). This Neo-Nazi regime (which is supported by the Catholic Church) has been armed and politically supported by the US, UK, EU and Australia, etc – and killed thousands of Donbass civilians in East Ukraine between 2014-2022 (you may recall the horrific photograph of a dead pregnant woman laid over a table in the Trade Union Building in Odessa – murdered by Ukrainian thugs from Neo-Nazi Kyiv). As most ethnic Buddhists reject liberalism and capitalism – the pro-bourgeois stance of the “Lotus Library” does really not wash.
Finally, I showed your comments to the ethnic Buddhists I know living in the Eastern States of Russia – they “laughed” and declared the so-called “Lotus Library” a thinly disguised (Eurocentric) project designed to spread a perverted (Christianised) version of Buddhism whilst perpetuating a false-Dhamma not seen since the days of Devadatta! Many of these Russian “Buddhists” have fought in the war against Ukrainian Neo-Nazism – or will be shortly joining the Russian Army to do so. The lesson you have obviously missed is that “Nazis Kill Buddhists” (the Hitlerites did this during WWII) – and Buddhist Suttas exist discussing how a soldier can practice the Dhamma even during times of war. Now, if you would be so kind as to remove my email address from your data-base – I can get on with teaching authentic Buddhism in peace.

Hi
Am writing on behalf of a new Buddhist online library –
www.lotuslibrary.com
We have been operating for over 2 years now and have over 2200 articles
and books in the catalogue. All are in pdf format and are free and
downloadable. As well, every tradition is included.
We hope that you might tell the members of your group about the library
so they can easily access dharma books. We have attached the artwork of
a flyer in case you would like to print some. As well a banner is
included for inclusion into a newsletter.
We are always interested in adding to our catalogue so if you have any
“creative commons” or “for free distribution” ebooks in pdf format then
we would be happy to add them to the library.
