โIt is such a mistake to assume that practicing dharma will help us calm down and lead an untroubled life; nothing could be further from the truth. Dharma is not a therapy. Quite the opposite, in fact; dharma is tailored specifically to turn your life upside downโitโs what you sign up for. So when your life goes pear-shaped, why do you complain? If you practice and your life fails to capsize, it is a sign that what you are doing is not working. This is what distinguishes the dharma from New Age methods involving auras, relationships, communication, well-being, the Inner Child, being one with the universe, and tree hugging. From the point of view of dharma, such interests are the toys of samsaric beingsโtoys that quickly bore us senseless.โ

The only thing worth preserving from Christianity is the aesthetics, which is a continuation of previously Pagan artistic tradition. Without artistic and philosophical influence from Paganism, Christianity is just another head of the Abrahamic Hydra together with Judaism and Islam. Our most recent ancestors where Christian but we shouldn't neglect them because of that, Christianity is European history and by todays standards medieval Christians would be considered Pagans through saint veneration and various folk-customs. That however doesn't mean that it should continue to be European history, Christianity is an Adharmic occupation of the Indo-European spirit

The Four-line Exercise Dedication Prayer
May this training be conductive,
To realize the unsurpassable state of Buddhahood,
And, having done so through my effort,
May I establish all beings into that very state.
