Spiritual Materialism

I wrote asking what the positive American Dharma will be, but there's also a negative version. Spiritual materialism. Maybe that's the demon we must pin to the wall

Unfortunately it was Chogyam Trungpa, the charismatic, abusive and alcoholic founder of Shambhala, who came up with that idea. 

The Buddhist star system, has people flocking this way and that to touch the robes of famous spiritual teachers. 

Buddhism has become big money in America. And where there's big money, there's people seeking power and not love.
