	E-sangha, Buddhist Forum and Buddhism Forum -> Problems Of Buddhism In Singapore
		SINGAPORE - In Singapore, Buddhism is seen as an outdated and superstitious religion.
		These cults often paraphrased parts or quotes and sentences from authentic Scriptures of Buddhism and reinterpreted them in their own doctrinal means, which make the doctrines of these cults extremely similar to those of orthodox Buddhism, misleading a large number of Buddhists from orthodox Buddhism.
		Furthermore, Buddhism is also a philosophy that believes in karmic dependent relationship; therefore it is a widespread belief that sentient beings with the ripe karmic bond with the Teaching of the Buddha would become disciples of the Buddha naturally.

		Engaged Buddhism and Buddhist environmentalism are significant less because of their use of Buddhist principles than because they incorporate people’s culture, values, and concerns for their livelihood and an understanding of historical, social, and political context into a creative approach to dealing with social problems.
		Of particular concern was the impact of the government’s rapid development program on rural people’s lives, and because of the government’s emphasis on Buddhism as a form of nationalism, the erosion of traditional local Buddhist values.
