It's all inwardly based, very selfish like Buddhism. Trying to achieve this nirvana-like state that only benefits yourself. The only way to evolve spiritually is to focus on the teachings of Jesus and what he did for others. Start looking at the fruits of other religions.

You don't see Buddhists coming out to help when there is a tragedy that does not directly affect them.

I think what scares me is that she has a wide audience that she is impacting with her statements. On some level she knows this and wants people to become even more self-involved than they already are.
