Its a soft, feel-good teaching for Western weaklings who babble about pacifism and escape from the world, which is a sign of Decadence. While modern people lose themselves in a fake spirituality that is sold as a consumer product, true forces have long recognized the hidden, warlike nature of these teachings. Heinrich Himmler and the SS Ahnenerbe research group dealt intensively with Tibetan Buddhism and Zen. They saw totalitarian power and traces of an Aryan primal religion that could be used to create a new political religion. While philosophers in the service of the movement, such as Eugen Herrigel and Karlfried Graf Dürckheim, saw impulses for National Socialist ideology in Zen Buddhism, others recognized the danger of Asian influences for the affirmation of life in the Western human being. This current fascination with Buddhism in the West is a rejection of our own strength. It's an escape into a foreign teaching because people can no longer endure the hardness of their own ethnic worldview. They seek demystification, but only find their own emasculation in a teaching that in its homeland is often shaped by nationalist violence.
