Bouddhism and Hôdo

Let's be Zen (cool)!

No, to be Hôdon, one has not to be buddhist!

Each one can have its philosophical, religious and social convictions. There are no obligations of membership of any spiritual or political movement.

Hôdons respect the intelligence of the others, consider that nobody holds the Truth and believe that there is more chance to discover new sides of the Truth thanks to diversity.

Contrary to the demagogy-dictatorships which level people, Hôdons consider specificities of each one as a richness for every one.

On Hôdo, there is not hunting for the witch. There are no good and bad "sects" at first sight, as long as the respect of the intelligence and the right to the avoidance are ensured for each one. It is obvious that the taking the free will away and that harassing are not at all hôdon.

Hôdons are wary of the demagogic or dictatorial attitudes, that ones name in French "démocratures", which give the right of existence to some and not to others. This is why there are not preestablished "measures" of justice. The limits are often too fuzzy and thin, too dynamic to be traced: between the conviction and the endoctrination, the proselithism and harassing, the contribution and the exploitation, the training of self-control and the torture, the ecstasy and the brainwashing.
