Review title: Mark Aristos Plus gets it all wrong
Product review: The review by Mark completely misses the message of Buddhism; how can he honestly buy into the belief that material gains have erradicated "craving"? People still want things they can't have (a perfect marriage, a perfect job, lost youth, etc.); that is the essence of the human condition. The reason that the Buddha and his followers subsisted on begging was that it was that absolute renunciation and poverty were considered essential components of monastic living in South Asia at the time; otherwise no one would have taken him or his message seriously (don't be such a cultural imperialist)...you would have been better served by starting out with the book "Buddhism, Plain and Simple".
