For what its worth-
I was a practicing Buddhist for over 3 years.
If there are genuine practicing Buddhists at the Simms hideaway- where I too believe FCA is hiding out out- then FCA is no doubt keeping as far away from them as she can get. Real Buddhists have the best BS detectors of any folks I have ever encountered.
Every aspect of the first years of learning Buddhism is devoted to stripping away the many layers of unreality Buddhists believe all of us use to veil the emptiness of a kind of our inner selves.
IMO and in my experience, if FCA was a normal human being who had made a terrible mistake, a year-long Buddhist retreat would do her wonders. Alas, my very best guess is that Simms' idea of Buddhism is as shallow as the DT's choice of a "grief expert" and that the "Buddhists" she employs are that only in name.Even if Simms employed the real thing, what Buddhism requires of its followers is simply and absolutely beyond FCA's abilities. No doubt she gives it lip service as required and then laughs herself silly at these folks she perceives as naive if not plain vanilla stupid.
Words of wisdom, my friend!
I have a great deal of respect for Buddhism and in my humble opinion, Dorothy Simms has no idea what Buddhism is really about. These people read one thing that Buddha said or one page from the Bible and end up believing they know everything there is to know about compassion and true repentance. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
