It could for example be the assumption that someone who has a miserable life in a low caste has somehow earned it because they were bad in a previous life. Buddhism is also often criticized for being and perpetuating sexism as the belief that women are morally flawed compared to men and are not able to reach the same levels of enlightenment or do as well in the cycle of life and death is common. I'm no expert on buddhism, but to me as a westerner, I believe it is almost always heavily romanticized here. __________________ Something Completely Different
