Today Tiger Woods vowed to return to his Buddhist faith saying....
"Buddhism teaches that a craving of things outside ourselves causes an unhappy and pointless search for security. It teaches me to stop following every impulse and to learn restraint. Obviously, I lost track of what I was taught."
Tiger will never find in Buddhism the power to stop following every impulse. That can only be found in the Gospel that teaches that the problem is not a lack of learning restraint. The problem is that of a sinful heart that can never know restraint.
This is why the only solution is not something we must learn, but something we must become- we must become born again by the Spirit of God under the preaching of the Gospel.
Tiger will never find what he is looking for outside of the Person of Jesus Christ- dying in his place, giving him a new heart, and a perfect righteousness.
Tiger looking to Buddhism to supply his deliverance is like a man with gaping chest wound looking to cup of tea to make him feel better.
