[Avodah] buddhism

[Eli Turkel]

If they bring fruit as a tribute to some effigy, it's not alst believing
that the Buddha was a god.>>

I once heard that Hong Kong is one of the biggest importers of oranges most
of it being laid at the feet of some Buddha statue.

I don't think that in AZ the intention of the person is important.
In the days of chazal if this was the way of worship then it is AZ.
How many Romans really believed in Merculis (Mercury?) having
stones thrown at him is irrelevant.

In fact Rambam states that the origin of AZ was to consider the sum etc as
servants of Hashem. It is still AZ
