I'm surprise!
...'buddhisum seems to encourage ppl to give up everything and follow their teaching...' which Master preach that??? We come with nothing and go with nothing, which is true. When you make it, you're entitle to live to the fullest as you wish for happiness, for your family but not to forget the help from people, direct indirect related to you that helps fulfill that wish. We're always remind to 'give' back to society in any form through donation, charitable work, kind to everyone. Use your success to good influence others, set a good example for your rich circles of family n friends, colleague, stranger, anyone...etc. some Buddhist temple which you might know, provide free food to anyone and everyone. We, Buddhist, can't n won't stress on small things like...will any rich abuse this charitable system? Did they do it to get famous...etc. Right is wrong & wrong is right, a coin has 2 faces, a story or scenario has 2 sides to their stories. Thanks for opening up abit and an opportunity to clear some air. Please enjoy what you sowed for the last 40 years, no one has the right to tell you what to do. Will get back to you about Tibet issue you've brought up. Namo Amitahba!
yes , buddhist give food to everyone ..including those who dont deserve it . theres many lazy ppl around . you rather give him a fish rather then teach him how to fish ? dont help ppl blindly they will take advantage of you . i have learn my lesson on that . thats why you guys never think some ppl will abuse the system being that alone will encourage ppl to abuse it . a right is a right a wrong is a wrong ..it is wrong to steal money even if you steal it and give it to those who needed it . period .

will any rich abuse this charitable system? yes , there is . many rich man drive BMW to get free food from temples .

of course we must help any human being on this earth if they really deserved our help . i have done alot of volunteer works in japan without having to go through any charity or religious organazation . and we dont expect when we die we go heaven because of that . we help because them just because its for mankind and not to get any tickets to heaven . most of those religious ppl wanted rewards so that they do good ...i think thats fucking disgusting .
