EXCLUSIVE: Buddhism Can Help Tiger Save Marriage Says Divorce Judge
Posted on Feb 20, 2010 @ 11:33AM
Tiger Woods opened up about his Buddhism during Friday's public statement, and now a well-known divorce judge tells RadarOnline.com that the religion may be the most important tool Tiger has in his bag if he really wants to save his marriage, his career and ultimately, himself.

"Buddhism tells us that if you think only of your own happiness, which is what Tiger had been doing, you will never find it," says Judge Michele Lowrance. "If you think only of the happiness of others, that's when you find happiness yourself."

Judge Lowrence, author of the best-selling The Good Karma Divorce, says Tiger's public commitment to stay on "a higher life" is a good sign for his future. "He took complete ownership of his dark side, and that was essential."
It is actually Tiger's wife Elin who has the more difficult road ahead, the Cook County, IL jurist explains. "She has to overcome enormous resentment and lack of trust. If she takes him back, what happens the first time he is five minutes late?"

Having seen thousands of divorces come through her courtroom, Judge Lowrence understands why so much of the public is hesitant to accept Tiger's apology.

"In a sense, we were all married to Tiger, and we're all mad at him for betraying us. He has to manage his ego to win us back, but if he is serious about following the Buddhist philosophy, he has a chance."

Unfortunately, Tiger thought they said "booty-ism" and that's why he signed up . . .

God can help Tiger save his marriage, his career and ultimately, himself., with HIM all things are possible! The Judge telling Tiger this is trying to PLAY God, IMO.

i understand that most of us feel betrayed a little bit..of course not as much as elin...anyways, as he had admitted, he was flying high and was egotistical and thought he could get away with it b/cof who he was..at least he admitted all this!!

he did open up a lot more than some would have like some of those politicians, and also he was just so humble and seemed so honest about his humility...i would give him another chance and see how he handles himself! Good Luck Tiger!

What he did is between the good Lord, his wife and himself, leave him alone, let them get on with life. I hope and pray someday you guys all go thru what he is going thru and then wish people would leave you alone. I am all for them.

Nice of you to hope and pray that we all go through what he's been through but since most of us don't have 14 lovers while married,I doubt it.

What a hard decision this will be for her, how does someone forgive something of this nature. Trust is so big, the bad part is if he did not get caught he would still be doing these things to her. I wish her and the children the best.

If his wife decides to stay with him then she deserves what she gets. I pray she doesn't just add to the "dumb blonde" jokes by being stupid enough to stay.

Elin can set herself free by taking every thing away from him ,and forbid him to see the children as well ..The children are to small to really understand about a DIVORCE,so, now a good time to DIVORCE TIGER....
