Fifty Ways to Get Enlightened
Christianity dominates the South Pacific, but still the churches compete for converts. Some use the air waves - the evangelical Far East Broadcasting Company proclaim the Gospel in 68 languages to every comer of the Pacific basin. Others use more traditional means - in Polynesia, Mormon missionaries are busy building schools and temples for people they believe to be a lost tribe of Israel.
Buddhism is the creed of the Asian Pacific, and it too has its missionaries. In Los
Angeles, a Zen monk from Japan has wooed many
Americans away from the Christian church, while in Oregon, the Indian guru, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh has inspired his followers to build a city in the desert, equipped with a fleet of 70 Rolls-Royces and a private airline.
