I have never really looked into buddhism, but as far as I know

The don't smoke, drink or do drugs.

They are not exactly the most materialistic people.

And here she is chanting for the most materialistic hedonistic things...

like she could ever be a monk and live in the mountains and expericen life in its purest form. It is such a joke..I mean at least MADONNA is serious about her religion...

I felt sorry for her when I watched that doco and she was saying how chanting enlightens her and shit, its like umm...do you know the meaning of the word? A designer gown and a new fuck are not sources of enlightenment.

Being healthy, being honest, being calm and drug free and having a family and being in love and all the things that DON'T COST MONEY are things that enlighten us all.

religion (IMO) is for the vulnerable. who else would believe that chanting changes your DNA.

I only watched that on channel 4 on saturday and was in hysterics when she said that.

i have to say, i did think the same thing when i saw what she was saying.
it's like she totally missed the point.

This discussion has been going on for ages. She's clearly a nutbag and doesn't understand the foundation of any sort of faith. She'd be clammering on about her lucky rabbit foot if that "worked" for her. She just got enrichment and riches mixed up.
