Buddhism in America
The Christian Science Monitor has an article on the rise of Buddhism in America. It both describes why Buddhism is appeals to Americans and its state in America.
“People feel that Buddhist figures like the Dalai Lama and Thich Nhat Hanh of Vietnam are contributing something, not trying to convert people,” … “They are not building big temples, but offering wisdom and ways of reconciliation and peacemaking, which are so much needed.”
