Letter: Organized religion ruins the party again
(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) The prayer room at the newly opened Tibetan Cultural Center in Salt Lake City, Friday June 17, 2016. The main reason for His Holiness the Dalai Lama's Utah visit next week is to bless and consecrate the center. The room features a new 5-foot tall Buddha statue from Nepal and the original throne His Holiness sat in during his last Salt Lake City visit in 2001.

Again religion spoils it all, by people who think that God is on their side.
All religions think that God is on their side. Just look at all the religious wars from the past. They even killed in the name of their God. And how many people were excommunicated from their church?
After many years of searching for the meaning of life, Buddha came to the conclusion that organized religion was not the answer. His conclusion was “Do good only.”
