A famous fake Buddha quote (H-K-D)

Sad news on the Buddhist front -- more fake Buddha quotes. But "fake" cuts both ways: The "Nazi Space Buddha" or Iron Man statue we reported on earlier this month turns out to be fake. And strangely some fake Buddha quotes are very good, so good they should have been said by someone, maybe Taoists. But they certainly weren't said by the historical Shakyamuni Buddha. The sincere photographer H. Kopp Delaney is doing a great deal to promote 108 authentic and inauthentic "Buddha quotes" thus littering the Web with many great fakes.

Nazis' meteorite Buddha fake

A supposed Buddhist statue allegedly carved from a meteorite 1,000 years ago may not be as ancient as suspected, according to a Buddhism expert who argues that the statue may be a 20th-century fake.

  

The criticisms don't target the material the statue is carved from, which is an iron- and nickel-rich meteorite from the Siberia-Mongolia border.

But outside experts are questioning the statue's origins.

  

Achim Bayer, a Buddhism expert at Dongguk University in South Korea, argues in a new report that the Buddha statue [which is not a statue of the Buddha but of a purported Buddhist "deity" from space -- like Sakka, who is King of Kings (deva-maha-rajas) and Lord of Lords (of the Spaceport of the Thirty-Three or Tavatimsa-deva-rajas), or the Sky-King Vessavana, a maha-raja of one quadrant of the sky/space visible from Earth] has obvious "pseudo-Tibetan features," marking it as a European reproduction likely made between 1910 and 1970.

  

[Nazis loved searching for UFO artifacts and time-travel technology, abandoned bases and gold mines, advanced Vril technology. They also sought social remnants of "Aryan" -- a much maligned Buddhist, Hindu, Jain term that rather than racial "purity" refers to spiritual nobility -- cultures around the world, particularly in Antarctica, where Nazis set up a new country called New Swabia, and Tibet, where official Nazi emissaries -- inspired by the spiritual writings of Russian psychic Madame Blavatsky and American Theosophists as well as other-worldly beings -- befriended Vajrayana Buddhists. Tibetans had set up a Vatican-style church-state with a pope-like figure who served as their temporal-spiritual dictator, a post now occupied by the beloved fourteenth man to fill that post, Tenzin Gyatso, the current Dalai Lama.]

Among these features are European-like shoes that come to the ankles rather than boots; trousers instead of robes; tube-shaped sleeves unlike those seen on traditional Tibetan or Mongolian garb; a full beard, which is not seen on Tibetan and Mongolian deity sculptures; an unusual single earring; and a cape that resembles one worn by Romans rather than ancient Tibetan deities.

  

MAPS is a leading journal

In their original paper published in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science, Stuttgart University researcher Elmar Bucher and colleagues reported that the Buddha statue first came to Germany after a 1938-1939 Tibet expedition by zoologist and ethnologist Ernst Schäfer, who was sent to the region by the Nazi party to find the origin of Aryan language and culture. The statue then passed into the hands of a private owner. More

Only the "Mind Only" School of Buddhism might believe this (H-K-D).
