QUESTION: If Buddhism is so good why arc some Buddhist countries poor?
ANSWER: If by poor you mean economically poor, then it is true that some Buddhist countries arc poor. But if by poor you mean a poor quality of life, then perhaps some Buddhist countries arc quite rich. America for example, is an economically rich and powerful country but the crime rate is one of the highest in the world, millions of elderly people arc neglected by their children and ere a good percentage of the population call themselves Buddhist.
