10 Wrong Motivations to Become a Buddhist

This was posted by one of the Rinpoches on Facebook. It was funny and yet so true...

10 wrong motivations to become a Buddhist:
1. Light a bundle of jolksticks in the temple and complain to Buddha about your life
2. Pray, invite blessing to your home, success, so as to be saved
3. Scare of the hell realm and want to be with god in heaven after death
4. "My family is buddhist. I want to be a good kid to respect my parents."
5. "I felt blessing and the pujas are powerful."
6. Buddhism and meditation are in (fashion)
7. The masters and Rinpoches are cute and good-looking
8. "I am tired and lost so trying to seek spiritual path
9. "I wanted to be a monk or nun so as to have free food and home (great loser)
10. "I have lots of negative karma. I will be in samsara and I wanted to be saved."
