   By sect I means groups with a guru that use brain whashing and sometimes   
   coerision methods. Not just a brach of some religion wich is another   
   existing sens of the word.

   That's why I said that 'it doesn't make sens to me'...

   Really ? When I read Buddha's life, I learnt that this was a wrong, a   
   deceptive illusion that makes you miss the truth...   
      
   How can it help someone ?
