Hubbard compares Scientology with Buddhism; says Buddhism ended up being an enslaver of people.
 
Compare with Hubbard's Admission: Men are your slaves.
If Scientology organizations did nothing cohesive and had no central control, but only had people doing processing, and if, combined with this situation, there were other people with a vested interest in making slaves, we could get thrown on the dung heap and Scientology could end up being practiced with electric shock by governments. On the other side, we could have a completely different picture: a well-unified Scientology with sufficient international esteem and force to overcome any attempt to use it wrongly.

Buddhism, for lack of a plan, ended up being an enslaver of people. Some thought needs to be given to scientology’s future to make sure that Scientology doesn’t end up like Buddhism. [...] The East never had a technology that did anybody any good. They knew a few answers, but they all wound up in the soup.
—L. Ron Hubbard
