Tiger has to cure himself. I'm not so sure it is a sex addiction as it really is a ego problem. Thinking he can get away with anything. But with any probem your religion can be of great help and guidance.

Of course not, and there is no such thing as "sex addiction ", only an inability to control yourself.

No, but I bet Judaism can.

That depends on whether he is a sex addict or just a smug little man who cheated on his wife lots of times because he thought he could get away with it

Shame he cant get enough with his wife, that would solve the problem.

Yes .They will tell him to get divorced and then he can be free to live his promiscuous life in peace

No, but Jesus Christ can.

I don't think Mr. Woods needs a Religion or philosophy to assist him with his personal life. My advice to him would be to spend more time at "Om " (yes, it's a terrible pun, but thank you for your forbearance).

Why do people think religion is a cure all? It does way more harm than good.

Tiger Woods' can cure his own sex addiction...at best, Buddhism (or any other religion) might help him learn to control it but managing something isn't the same as curing it...if he wants to be cured, he's going to have to find that cure in himself not in a religion (or any other external influence).

The only one that can cure Tiger Woods is Tiger Woods, but there is no reason why he can't rely on his Buddhist faith for support. Brit Hume, along with his sanctimonious arrogance, can **** off.

It can help him not to attach to the phenomena [sex] that leads him away from the truth of the moment. It can teach him to act with love in his relationships. Will it cure him? I don't know. But it can help.

The teachings of Buddha can be applied to sexual addiction. The knowledge of the Buddha is non-different than the teachings of Hinduism (There word Hinduism is incorrect, it is really Sanatana-Dharama) The teachings can be applied, however one must be very familiar with them, then one has to be very familiar with sexual addiction. I am a spiritual instructor, and i have studied many religions deeply including Buddha's teachings. I have also studied on sexual addiction. Basically I have all the work for you. I have written it all in a book recently published. book details and my personal website is here sagehope.wordpress.com

If Buddha is dead then how can he? But Jesus can.
