Buddhist Wickedness at a Catholic University
The University of Dayton (Ohio), a Roman Catholic school, is making Buddhist wickedness available at the university library. This was reported in the Oct 31 issue of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati newspaper, 'The Catholic Telegraph,' in an article titled, "Sister Receives Award from Islamic Council."
Most of the article deals with an Islamic Council of Ohio award given to school professor 'Sister' Judith Martin on Oct 11 at the 16th annual "Islamic Day of Ohio" luncheon for her work in helping to foster the Moslem-Catholic unity the pope so desperately wants.
But - the article also notes that 'Sister' the same weekend, "Hosted 10 Tibetan Buddhist monks who were in Dayton to create a sand mandala of the Medicine Buddha in the UD library."
"Sand Mandala" - "Mandala" is the Sanskrit word for "circle," and is supposed to be a symbol of the universe and its energy. A mandala is a flat circle, at least a few feet in diameter, where various colored sands are used to create all kinds of abstract symbols and diagrams. Then - people sit around it and "meditate." Yoga practitioners use mandalas, for example, as well as the Dalai Lama.
"Medicine Buddha" - According to Buddhist "theology"(?) the "Medicine Buddha" is some kind of enlightened supernatural being with special powers of healing that can be obtained by reciting his name or a short mantra, over and over and over and over......
Catholics and Buddhists do have a lot in common. For instance, one Catholic mantra prayed repetitiously goes something like:
"Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now......"
The sand mandala and the rosary - two wicked prayer devices straight from the depths of hell.
May our Lord show many Catholics that by using mindless, repetitious prayers as such the rosary, or meditating around a mandala, they invite demonic influences on themselves. God grant Catholics repentance from Rome, and may they invoke the only name by which one may pray safely - the name of Christ ALONE.
