Friend Little Joe Gould,

What do you think that the Buddha's commentaries on modern society would be?

Buddhas were there much before gautama and is still HERE-NOW.
Religion is an internal journey and that too on an individual basis. Society is the environment for the individual and the aura of buddhas has its effect to that outside environment like society etc.

The universe is timeless and no nothing changes. What changes is only the thoughts that cross each person's mind.
When the mind is made to STILL, then one is one with that timelessness.

I've always wondered what it would be like if Jesus or Buddha or any other significant religious figure were to exist in our time period and view how we live. What do you think they would say about our way of life in our fast-pace, modern, technological world? Do you think they would obviously be displeased with the way we're doing things? What do you think they would say about things like cell phones and the internet and the monetary system? I really am not sure, so I'm asking you all of these questions.

Nothing.

It's not the quality that has changed much but the quantity. Still, suffering has not changed.
