Badma believes that Buddhism has a global future and appeal. He says that Buddhism is spreading quickly in the West for several reasons. People like the moral aspects of this religion. Modern educated people are also attracted to its philosophy. For example, in the Buddhist doctrine there is a notion of illusion, which resembles a popular idea that we all live in a matrix. Many people find the psycho-technics of Buddhism interesting as well. Badma contends that we know precious little about how to control our thought, speech and actions. Buddhism gives answers to these questions. Since there is a possibility that the world may destroy itself, Badma sees no alternative to Buddhism, if we are to survive. If society becomes more compassionate and wiser, we have a chance to avoid self-destruction and to develop further. Badma also retells a classic story about how a Buddhist sage saved children from a burning house by luring them out with toys.
